Anger

#268  Tues. May 27/14, 11:15 am., St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

I called you softly when you were praying.

You heeded My Voice.  I do come out of the blue.  There can be NO planning when you are going to write My Words  --  I will come when least expected.

Thank you for bringing souls into My Most Sacred Heart.  You felt you had to otherwise you would go down the road of growls and judgment.

When you see this person you are taken back to the past and what was done to your Dad.

Well that is over and done with.  Do you think your Dad still dwells on this?   If he has seen My Face and he has, then he knows that I do not live in bad memories.

Do not let your concerns of what happened to your Dad, what was done to your Dad, get in the way of you loving in the here and now.

I am delighted you had this encounter today because it gives Me an opportunity to address --- “hurts from the past”.

Now in your regular day you would not have thought of this as a hurt from the past.  Come to think of it you would not have even thought of it!  Right?

Yet I brought you to this encounter today to address this ‘thing’ in your soul that nags at you and drags you away from Me.

Do you see how I want to cleanse your soul?  I do.  I want to and with your cooperation I will.

Bring Me that person’s soul and see how I love you both unconditionally.

I know what needs healing in him and I know what needs healing in you.

I will tell you yours and I will not tell you his.  That is not your business because YOU CAN’T HEAL HIM!

So once again bring Me your soul and then run and fetch his soul and come sit with Me together in My Sacred Heart. 

Can you imagine how I snatch away every angry word that comes from his lips and every angry word, bitter word that comes from your lips.

My Heart does not tolerate such words.  I remove them hastily by the Fire of My Love.  If you really understood how much I LOVE you, you would NEVER again utter an angry word.  What power My Love has!  Yet it is quite powerless if you do not humbly come to Me to seek healing for the anger that hangs in and around your soul.

That is how much you can measure your understanding of the Love I have for you.

How often do you welcome anger into your heart?  Sure it may peak in the door but if you slam the door of your heart quickly to anger it does not get a foothold.

But if you invite it in to chat with for awhile, where does My Love fit then?

My Love cannot exist side by side with anger, or gossip, or greed, etc.

Just imagine anger stomping around in your heart eager to put out the Fire of My Love. 

That is its prime purpose.  Not to satisfy your emotions so you can bitterly express hurts on you or family from the past.

NO, NO, NO.

Anger’s prime purpose is to stomp out any semblance of My Love for you.

Anger will only have you do angry things.  You will not think correctly.  You will not act with the abandon of one who is loved unconditionally.  It will disfigure all you say or do.

Trust Me.  I only speak the Truth.

So why does this angst make you angry?  Was this hurt inflicted on you personally?  Did you actually see/hear it happen?

You had planned to call someone to verify that this person inflicted hurt on your Dad and thus your anger would be affirmed and justified.

But I tell you, do not make the call;  do not seek from anyone that this person hurt your Dad.

I tell you solemnly that you will bring another to the sin of self-righteous anger.  Do you need that burden also on your soul?

Yikes.  You did not think of that did you? You just wanted to affirm that your anger was justified.

Come to Me first and foremost with your anger and lay it before Me.

But that is no fun, because then you know I will not let you toss it around and chat about it and feel ‘good’ by your condemnation which anger ALWAYS brings.

Did you realize that when you are angry, prolong your anger, you are condemning?

You are telling Me maybe not directly, but indirectly, that that person is really bad and should not be showered with My Love.  He deserves My cruel Judgment.

Yet you know My Judgment is not cruel but most merciful.

You saw this person almost stomp off brimming with anger --  at you, at those he was condemning.  He did not leave you brimming over with My Love.

Oh his pain.  Oh his pain.

You do not have to know what brings him to his pain, yet I revealed to you the pain of anger, it makes one feel that all is lost.

You saw his hopelessness.  What pain to live in hopelessness.

He perhaps would defend himself, even to Me, that he is only being truthful and honest in his judgments of others.

Can you see how lost each one of us is when we will defend our right to judge even to the One and Only Judge Himself, Me?

The winding dark road of hopelessness.  To have fallen for the ploy of the devil that you have every right to judge and find and point out the faults of others.

Do not, Margo, find fault with this man.  But quickly, speedily bring your soul and his soul into My Loving Presence.  Both of you need healing because this is like a fast moving cancer that can leap from one to another stealing the Love of God from your heart and replacing it with the love of you – your rights, your strengths, your wisdom, your shattered dreams, your starvation, your holocaust.

It is a cancerous mire of self-indulgence.

Beg Me to Grace you so that your heart does not get caught up in and dragged down into this mire of self-love, self-importance.

You see we get angry with a problem that we see and think it needs fixing, because we see that it needs fixing.  We think we see it needs healing.  And take careful NOTE – the problem is never with us it is always with others!

Interesting, eh?

Because if you are endeavoring to work with Me on fixing and healing you, you will never be angry!

Believe Me.

It is only when we see something we feel needs fixing and attempt to do it on our own that we will get frustrated, angry, gossip, lie, etc.

You may be angry at times with yourself because you want to get better, be a better person – compared to whom?  Because if you are endeavoring to be more like Me then you can’t be angry, because I am Love, not anger!  Make sense?

I did not allow you to miss this encounter this morning.

I wanted you to see the blessings I am offering you daily to teach you, instruct you, on how to grow closer to Me --- not through judgment of another for past hurts --- that is so, so false.  I wanted you to move ever closer to the Fire of My Love that will snuff out the very first hints of anger so it does not take hold in your soul.

Remember, when you feel anger raising its ugly head, jump into My Sacred Heart with your soul and bask in the heat of My Love – which conquers ALL, even your anger.

God Bless.  I love you.  Thank you for your obedience, each one of you, as you read, reflect and abide IN My Words.

Body/Soul Contract

#267  Thursday, May 22/14, 9:50am, St. theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament.

 How I love My People.

I tenderly love every strand of hair, every breath, every muscle, every heartache.

Do not doubt for a mini-second how much I Love you.

Let us count the Ways.

No, let us look at each other and delight in each others presence.  Let us ask each other any question and be willing to share the answer.

There is no question that is too difficult, too foolish, too mundane.

I want you to completely Trust in My Love for you.  You see, sometimes we think we should not ask this or that because it will make us look stupid, foolish, crazy, and thus reduce how we look in the other person’s eyes.

But Love doe not see stupid, foolish, crazy.

Love sees the loved one that I, the Lover, have Created ---  and I only see Good.

I only see Me, God, since I have made you, Created you, in My Image and Likeness.  I can Create no other.

See how much I LOVE you!

“You have searched me and You know me.”

What great consolation eh? 

To know that I know every detail about you.  Love every detail about you.  You would have to write down a lot of words if you attempted to list the all of you that I Love.  The ‘layers’ of you that make up ‘you’ that I Love equally and unconditionally.

I do not stop Loving a kidney cell in order to Love a liver cell.

I do not stop loving the liver cell when it gets sick!

I ask you ‘to search Me and get to know More and more of Me.’

The only way we can do this is to let go of analyzing ‘you’ and move into adoring ‘Me’. 

When we adore and praise, the more of God that appears in our lives. Do you see what I mean?

You do not have to ask Me to break Me down into body parts and pieces to get to know Me.  That is not who I AM.

Certainly, as the Son of God, I took on the fullness of humanity, yet that is quite easily perceived by the human eye.

I ask you to seek and search Me the Creator, Saviour, and Sustainer.

Do not look for Me in human terms.  That is very limited as you know.

Ache to know with your soul.

Our senses always want to be satisfied with sensual matters.  Yet our soul craves the soul nourishment that only God can provide.

So, set this joyous task for your soul.  Invite your soul to seek out the Lord more each day.

To remove the material obstacles in your life that hinder you from seeing God.

Look for God-bling!

You know how you delight in bling on t-shirts.  Now all of you who read this may not, but take something else that delights your eye senses --- colorful balloons, stars, mountain scapes,  dogs, butterflies and realize they are the bling that catches your eyes.  A shiny motor bike, a windmill, a flowering garden. 

 

Take this bling that is eye satisfying and move it to your soul.  Thank God for this ‘bling’ that delights your senses.

Sure we enjoy the ‘bling’ in our human way, yet we do not realize that this ‘bling’ deserves our gratitude.  God wants us to be a people of joy and delight.  He gives us this eye candy to bring joy and comfort to our bodies BUT more so to our souls.

Thank God from your soul for bringing such joy to your body.  The body He wants to nourish too, but only through the consent of the soul.

Body delights that just delight the body do not enrich the fullness of you --- your body and your soul.

And yet you know when the body sins that sin does not bring fullness of delight to the fullness of you --- your body and your soul.

However, I do not want to drag you there and let you dwell in the darkness of what your body may have done to your soul --- to the life of your soul.

I want you to gather your body and soul together and let one enhance and enrich the other.  Endeavor to make this body/soul contract.

Let neither one hurt either one.

Let us, body and soul, live in harmony so that the ‘bling’ that the body delights in also delights the soul and calls forth praise and thanks to God from the soul.

And vice versa.  Whatever ‘bling’ the soul delights in, may it also enrich the body’s well-being.

And let both cry aloud to the Lord --- “All praise and Glory are Yours.”

Go in the Peace of Christ body and soul in harmony with their Creator.

My Love Graces

#266  May 18/14, 3:45pm, at home

Come aside and sit with Me awhile.

I long to share My Words with the World.

Do they stop and read these?  Some will, others will be too busy to, while others find Me in other places.

This Book does not trump all others written about Me.  That is not the reason I am dictating these Words.

I want My People to have available to them all the resources they need to get to know Me and My Love better.

These Words of Mine are needed, yet may not be absorbed by all.

It does not matter to you one iota.  I should say, it should not matter to you one iota.

I know what is needed and that is not what you need to know.

The beauty of these Words is that they are from Me. 

They are sacred unto themselves.  They proclaim Sacred, they reveal the Sacred, they stand in the Sacred.

My Words do not waft away like dust or a feather.  When they land on a craving heart, they nourish this heart.

The time has come to reveal yet more of Me and yet some may already feel they know this, and that is ok.

I want My People to know that once their heart hears these Words it will crave to hear more.

Like you hear a birds song once and you delight in hearing it again and again. 

Now some birds’ songs can be irritating.  And you know, some of My Words may be irritating too.

My Words are meant to reveal to you the Truth of who I AM and what I Proclaim.

So, don’t be upset if sometimes My Words catch you off guard, or make you cross.

My Words are not making you cross.  My Words are revealing to you, gently, where your life has wandered from My Embrace.

We get cross because we don’t want to see the Truth and embrace it.  We would rather defend our words and actions rather than humbly have them revealed as not really the Truth.

We scramble to make excuses for why we did this, said that, thought this.  Do we ever hasten to defend ourselves!  Right?

When you are ready to defend yourself, I ask you to put one last piece of armament in place – My Truth.

Can My Truth balance on your unsteady fortress of defence?  Of course you are not going to put My Truth on your armament because you know it cannot stand there.

You know that if you call in My Truth to help fortify your fortress, that your fortress will have to take on a whole new shape.

My Truth is so simple that it will dislodge your fortress of fear, pride, shame, guilt. These pieces of your armament are not built on Eternal soil.

Our truth to God can be said in one humbling sentence: “I did not love You God.”  “I do not love You unconditionally God.”

What a revelation to ourselves (not to God) that we did not love Him otherwise we would not have turned away from Him and sinned.

Dare I be that blunt with God or do I feel I need to explain to Him why I sinned?

It all comes down to Love.  Lack of us loving our dear God unconditionally.

This does not come with a slap on the face, but a true revelation to our own soul that deep down that it the only reason I sin.

Take any circumstance and it applies to each one.

So perhaps our new admission to God should not be “Lord, I have sinned”  but rather, “Lord, I have not loved You.”

It is not what we have done, our sins, but what we have failed to do --- to love.

That is our one and only reason for sinning --- we have not loved God.

I have sinned, I have sinned expresses our fallen nature.

I have not loved You God opens the door of our soul to be eager for the Graces to Love God more.

Does this make sense?

We most certainly can be repentant for our sins but when I truly admit that really I have sinned because I have not loved God, then your heart is more ready for renewed Graces of Love. 

It takes humility to tell God your sins, but greater humility to tell Him it is because you don’t love Him and that is why you have sinned.

You see, we want to, we need the Graces to acknowledge our sins. However, we don’t think to say I need more of God’s Love.

We come repentant, yet do we come asking??   How can we ask for something from anyone when we know we have offended them?

Would you apologize to your neighbor for breaking their fence and then ask them for a cup of sugar? 

So we are with God.  We sincerely express our sins, yet we don’t think we can turn right around and ask Him for tons of more Love Grace.

Sure, we know confession comes with Graces, but we may have thought they are Graces to help us sin no more, or less.

But I ask you to ask Me for Love Graces.  Be specific with Me because it is because our Love Graces are running low that we sin.

So don’t leave confession saying “whew, I got that off my chest”  but rather, “thank you God for topping me up with more Love Graces.”

Our sins keep us focused on ourselves and so many times we miss out on asking for His Love.

We are so concerned with expressing our sins and saying an act of Contrition that we truly miss the great opportunity of asking God for a renewal of His Love Graces.

Do you see the difference?

One we are caught up in getting rid of the sin.  The other we need to get caught up in asking for more Love Graces.

I want you to see what brings you to confession.

It is not your sins but your lack of understanding that it is a lack of My Love Graces that you are suffering from.

It does not matter whether it is pride, fear, gossip, slander, etc.  It all boils down to a low level of My Love Graces in your soul.

So take this revelation to your heart and sit with Me and let us pray on it together.  Let it reveal to you what sin really is.

God Bless each one of you.  Come to Me and allow Me to increase My Love Graces in you.

So, be in the world in Love and with Love --  My Love permeating your soul.
