Let My Light Shine

#442  Wed. Oct. 28/15, 9:45am, St. Theresa's, before the Blessed Sacrament

O, Let My Light shine in the World.

How have you restricted My Light this day?  Perhaps I should say, do not restrict My Light this day.

If you feel you have, then come to Me and thank Me for revealing this to you so as to help you clean up your soul and keep it ready for My Light.

You can tell Me you are sorry for restricting My Light and I accept that, but do not let it get you down. 

Therein lies the greater sin.

To stay feeling sorry for yourself for yet making another mistake is only the work of the devil.

I have never told you to be sick and sad for yourself about your human weaknesses.  If you look at it My Way you will see that these human weaknesses give you the opportunity to come closer and closer to Me.

How?

Well, each time your humanity takes you away from serving Me and gets you serving yourself --- RUN to Me.

That’s it.  It is simple. Thank Me for revealing this to you so that you can hastily return to My Nourishing All-Merciful Love.

On the other hand, you can slip and then, instead of RUNNING to Me, you chastise yourself, feel bad about yourself and your sinfulness, give up on yourself.  So where do these negative thoughts and feelings take you.  Into the arms of the devil.

Now I know that sounds drastic, but if you aren’t RUNNING into My Loving Arms after you have sinned, to whom are you going?

You will not intentionally run into the devil’s arms, but it is a gentle slipping into his arms, which do not, never will, offer peace and consolation and Love –NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.

We sometimes say that we can’t get out of this down mood.  Are you trying to do it on your own?  Are you using professional help that does not include God?

Or will you relinquish yourself entirely to God --- even through a professional counsellor who is God-centered?

You need ME!

Say it “Jesus, I need You!”

You see we hesitate to announce that to ourselves.  We may not believe heartily enough in My Love for you.

But whether you believe totally or even just a little bit in My Love for you, shout out these words to your soul “Jesus, I need You.”

Say it over and over to quell a hesitating shaking heart.  Keep repeating it so it becomes a mantra for your soul.

“Jesus, I need You!”

What a glorious awakening.  I can’t do it on my own -- “Jesus, I need You.”

It is a calmer!  Because you realize that you are limited in helping yourself and Jesus is Limitless in helping you.  He only wants the best for you.

The devil, on the other hand, is only in this game to satisfy his need to satisfy only himself.  He does not care about you and your plans and your future.

He wants your soul just so he can wave it in front of Jesus and proclaim victory.  He so hates Jesus.

So, “Jesus, I need You” can be said anytime – in the depths of despair, when you think to gossip, when you are in the pit of alcoholism, when you get a flat tire, when your phone battery goes dead.

Now it does not mean that Jesus will perform magic, but he will perform a miracle in you that lets you see the world as less against you, as though everyone and everything is picking on you.

He wants you to realize He has picked you and you and you from the start to Love entirely and unconditionally.

Who has promised that?  Who can promise that?  Only Jesus.

You can even say it in a cross voice.

You can say it in a pining voice.

You can say it in a believing voice.

However you say it, I will hear and I will hasten to assist you.

However your dilemma dissolves itself, say a thank-you to Me because My Hand was all over it.

“Jesus, I need You.”

Go in Peace using these simple words to let Me know you are relying on My Love to see you through each day.

I Love you, you are Mine, My Beloved One.
