Tues. Apr. 14/15, 10:55am, St. Theresa’s before Blessed Sacrament
Make haste to record My Words. It does not
mean that you need write fast, but rather that you hear My Voice to you to
write and you respond without hesitation.
Each one of you has so much to give. Have you heard Me ask you to give Me your
ALL? Give ALL of you to Me.
What today are you holding back and not
relinquishing to Me today?
The surrender phrase is not something you
say once in your life, or once a day every day of your life.
No, No, No.
You must be ready and eager to surrender ALL of you to Me at any time.
Now tell Me what have you not surrendered
all of to Me today:
Ø Your ego
Ø Your pride
Ø Your humility
Ø Your joys and sufferings
Ø Your laughter
Ø Your impatience
Ø Your honesty and your lies.
And the list can go on.
I want you to come to realize
what makes up the ALL of you. We don’t
think our cold has to be surrendered to the Lord. We don’t think our snow shoveling has to be
surrendered to the Lord.
Now all the heavens will not fall
apart if you don’t surrender ALL of you to Me – your cold, snow shoveling,
etc. But I assure you when you do
surrender all of these to Me the heavens are more open to you soul.
All of these tiny surrenders keep
you in ever closer touch with Me.
It is like phoning one of your
siblings to tell them some great news, then not calling again till another
great news event occurs.
You would be more inclined to call
them more regularly just to chat about little things – the first crocus you
saw, the good movie you watched, how your cold is doing, how they are getting
along day to day.
How often do you call Me to tell
Me ALL your good news. “I woke up today
feeling great Lord.” “I just had my eye
aura.” “I just banged my leg on the
stool.”
Do not presume anything is too
slight. I want to hear from you and all
about you.
Let us stay connected. And note I never hang up on you. I call you daily and then many times during
the day to come aside and be with Me.
Now that we are talking to each
other don’t hesitate to share with Me some of the concerns that have risen in
your heart so far today.
Remember nothing is too slight
that you can’t bring it to Me and place it in My Hands. Watch Me Love it and care for it like a
precious pearl.
Now bring Me something else on
your heart; now something else, now
something else.
Bring your tiniest concerns and
place them in My Loving Hands.
It is like going into all the cracks
and crevices of you and sweeping out even the smallest piece of dust or
dirt. We see the big stuff that bothers
us but many, many times we don’t think of the very small things. Yet even the very small things are a part of
you that I Love.
Bring Me a runny nose, a tear
drop, a sneeze, a reaction to some food smell, surrender them all to Me.
Let our relationship be that
close that nothing seems trite to you to bring to Me.
Our relationship is not as solid
when you endeavor to discern which is good to bring to Me, which stuff is too
mundane or foolish to bring to Me.
Do you see who is stepping
aside? Do you see who is making the
choice not to be in My Presence with the all of you?
I want you to realize the beauty
of you --- the created ALL of you --- with very important parts and some not
seemingly as important to you, but always equal in My Sight.
I don’t break you up into
parts. I Created the ALL of you and that
is what I ask you to bring to Me daily.
You do not have to list off each
and every part of you, but I ask you to be conscious that each and every part
of you is dearly, lovingly cared for by Me.
Tell Me “Dear Lord I surrender to
you today all the huge parts, big parts, small parts, smaller parts, even the
tiniest parts of me that are all part of me.”
Yet your prayer of surrender can
be simple. “Lord I surrender all of me
to You this day.”
I just want you to know what the
‘all of you’ means in My Sight. It is
not what you think as the ‘all of you’, but rather what I know to be the ALL of
you.
Perhaps “Jesus take the all of
me.” But I want you to know the all of
you. I already do, so if I just take the
all of you it will not be as significant in our relationship as when you surrender the ALL of you.
So pray that your surrendering
prayer brings you closer each day to coming to know the all of you in My
Sight.
Go in Peace. Bring Me everywhere with you today. I Love you.
