Anger, Sadness, Hopelessness

#434  Sun. Oct. 11/15, 8:25am, St. Theresa’s before Blessed Sacrament

Come My People, Come.  Seek Me often. Come to My Marvelous Mercy.  Seek Me while you still can.

Hasten to call out My Name – Jesus. 

Hasten to run to My Most Sacred Heart.

Hasten to smile because you know that for which you have been searching for years.

Now some of you may not think you have been searching.  You may feel quite content with the God you think you know.

But I will give you a measuring tool, maybe several  to show you by your actions and behavior that you are not in the fullest of knowledge of Me. 

Now you may think you are content with the God you now know, yet your body language and reaction show Me differently.

So the measuring tools:

--- anger – “well I am bound to get angry at certain things, Lord.”  And I say “Yes you may jump to anger, BUT do you stay in anger, do you entertain anger, do you invite it in to stay awhile?”

Because while anger abides with you, I cannot.  Not that I don’t want to but I can’t because your free will has invited in anger and not Me.

So are you seeking Me when you are angry, or are you seeking something to satisfy the offended you?

Another measuring tool is

---- sadness --  Do you invite it in to live with you and help you to shade all things in hopelessness?  Do you think it looks good on you?  Really does it enhance your body, mind and spiritual health?

Yes indeed there are sad times, but do you plan to make all this time I have given you sad times?  Why? To what avail?  To solve what? To heal what?

You can’t heal a wound that is filled with sadness.  It is like pulling off the scab each time and opening the wound that has to try to heal again.

Tell Me why you walk in sadness.

Tell Me what has brought you to the point of eternal sadness.

Tell Me what I can do to relieve your sadness, unless you don’t want relief, then I will leave you alone --- not abandon you, or forget you, but wait patiently till you ask Me to help you.  Remember I will not violate the free will given to you by the Father.

Another measuring tool

---- hopelessness – How often do we look at either big or small problems and feel they are hopeless?  How often do we look upon our loved ones and think they are hopeless?

So have you judged them?   Hmmm

And you must answer yes, because if you feel they are hopeless, then you have judged.  You do not give Me permission to act freely in their lives.  What I mean is that when you feel they are hopeless you even judge that they are beyond God’s healing hands. 

Now whom have you judged!?

Be very careful.  When you call a situation or person hopeless you are announcing to Me that you believe even I cannot act in their lives, that even I am not already acting in their lives, that even I do not have any power in this case. 

Do you see who you are judging? 

Be very, very careful because this is where hopelessness leads you --- to judge Me, Your God, as not being sufficient in ALL things, circumstances, people, etc.

I beg you to jump back from hopelessness because it sincerely shows you that you no longer believe in Me or are even seeking Me.

In My Hands nothing is hopeless.  In your eyes perhaps, because you do not have My Eternal Vision.

Do you believe in Me?

Do you trust in Me?

You cannot truly say yes to these questions if you are persisting to live in anger, sadness, hopelessness.

You cannot truly Believe and Trust in Me if  you invite anger, sadness, hopelessness to live with you.

So seek to invite Me in each day to live with you.  You can ask Me each minute of the day if you want to.

“Jesus, come live in me.”

Do you see how simple these prayers are?  Because it is simply that easy to invite Me in.

Don’t rush to houseclean or make things right in your eyes.  Just let your heart ask most sincerely.  You see if it comes from your heart it is already most sincere.

It is not
“Jesus stay away for a while till my anger subsides, my sadness goes away, I overcome my hopelessness.”

No, No, No.  That is a false prayer because without Me you will not be able to be free of these burdens.

So just say

“Jesus, come live in me.”

All your burdens cannot survive in the Love and Compassion and Caring I bring with Me.

I am like Mr. Clean.  I can remove the stains and pain caused by anger, sadness and hopelessness.  You cannot. So don’t waste time trying to do it alone.

It is like thinking you can clean the floor without a mop, broom, water, cloth, etc.

You need Me to clean up your soul.  So invite Me in.  I will not laze around but get busy and set up a peaceful household. You will like what you see when you come to inspect it.

“Jesus, come live in me.”

“Jesus, come live in me.”

“Jesus, come live in me.”

Sing it to your heart!
