Do I really believe it?

#310    Mon. Oct. 13/14  10:20am, St.Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

O Lord I am not worthy.

How many times have you expressed this sighing prayer?

You have shown me, Lord, the path of life and often I have avoided walking in it.  You know my weaknesses and sins, yet You still beckon and support me.

“You have found me worthy, Lord, and I am so, so thankful.”

Make that your prayer to Me.  This is an affirmation prayer.  This shows that you realize that no matter what, I have found you worthy.

The first prayer “Oh Lord I am not worthy” sees ourselves from our viewpoint.  Yet I keep beckoning you to step further and further into My Presence which sees you from My Eyes, from My Heart.

The second prayer affirms that I am the Lord of your life and that I see far beyond any of your faults and failings that sometimes keep you more earth-bound than heaven-bound.

You do not fail because of Me, yet you can certainly triumph because of Me.

I want you to reach higher and deeper than you have even done and see Me as the highest goal and the deepest goal in your life.

What is your goal for your life today?

Is it to express how unworthy you are?  I certainly hope not.

Or is it to express to Me that you are so, so grateful that I Love you and want you to be Mine.

Set yourself a goal each day if you must.

Even if it is only to say “You have found me worthy Lord, and I thank you so, so much.”

I want you to hear My Prayer for you “I have found you so, so worthy and I thank you for being My Beloved One.”

That is what I say daily.  I want you to know without a doubt that I count you as My dear, dear One, and want to lavish you with My Love.

This is the “Word” I want you to hold deep in your heart “I Love you.”  “Jesus Loves me.”

I want to be so personal to you.  I don’t want you to doubt for a second how much I Love you. 

We can stand on a street corner and yell out that “God Loves you” but no one seems to take the promise of that as a personal message.  That is why I want you to yell it out to your own heart “Jesus Loves me.”

Do you see how personal it gets?  the ‘you’ can look very, very plural – like I am talking to a bunch of people, yet the ‘me’ is very, very personal.  When I say the word me to myself I know it means me, Margo.

So when others say me to themselves they know it refers to them personally.  Whether it is Karen, Leeanne, Margaret, Coralee, RhondaLynn.  Each ‘me’ person knows to whom God is personally speaking.

Don’t try to confuse matters by wondering if He really means you. That is the devil dragging you away from My Words to try, in vain, to figure out what I really mean.

There is no doubt that when you read this passage “Jesus Loves me”, that I am not talking about anyone else but the ‘me’ who is reading these Words of Mine.

The devil distracts in big and small ways, but he persists knowing that he can catch us off balance and have us spend our time trying to figure out what Jesus really means.

What foolish distraction.  Yet many times we get caught up in it.  You know that is most certainly true.

We throw ourselves into the center of the ring of words and try to solve a problem that truly does not even exist. 

It is not a problem “Jesus Loves me.”

What may appear to be the problem is – do I really believe it?

Well that is your free will coming into play.  You can choose to believe it or not.

Which would you rather believe and hang onto?  “Jesus Loves me” or “Jesus how can You Love me?”

When you say “Jesus Loves me” you open the gates of your heart to receive the fullness of this Love.

When you say “Jesus how can You Love me?”  you are not able to open your heart because you are working out of your head and your emotions. 

Step back and dare to say “Jesus Loves me.”   Thank you Jesus for Loving me.

The incredible part is that is all you have to do.  The Lord knows your heart’s intentions and He will do the rest.

You do not have to make yourself worthy, do many penances, or turn away in disappointment. 

You will be more freer in your daily routine than you were before because you no longer have to look for the nourishment your heart craves.

Your heart craves to be loved and when you tell it that Jesus Loves it, then it clearly has the nourishment and support it needs. 

But if you stand in doubt, your heart cannot be strong and will be swayed by all sorts of outside influences in search for its only food – Love.

Do not abandon your heart.  Feed it with the phrase “Jesus Loves me” many times a day.  Even if you only start by saying it once a day.  Yet, that will not last long because you will see what good these nourishing Words do for your heart.

Now go in peace.  Not searching for Love but knowing beyond any doubt that “Jesus Loves me.”

Be ever so grateful for this Love which will carry you through the Now into Eternity.

My God, My God you do not abandon me!

#309  Thurs. Oct. 9/14, 3:30pm, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?

Have I?

Why would you call that out to Me?  What is your pain that leads you to believe that I have forsaken you?

Tell Me your pain.   Tell Me what is tearing your heart apart right now.  I am here to listen.  I Love you and I want to know why your heart is hurting so.

Be most honest with Me.  Tell Me what is hurting you so badly that you feel you should call out to Me?

Do you see when you cry out that question, it is not about your hurt as much as it is about the pain in your heart that is caused by you thinking I have abandoned you.

Never fear.  I have not.  I shall not desert or abandon you.

But, do you see what I mean?  Do you see that sometimes our heart pain far outweighs our body’s pain and thus we feel deserted in the midst of our turmoil.

Which would you have Me heal?  The body pain or the heart pain?

Interesting question isn’t it?   One pain is in the present, the other could run into eternity.

Bring Me your heart.  What troubles your heart?  Be very truthful.  Is it something you perceive to be wrong, or is it something that is really wrong?

Can your heart, all on its own, fix whatever it is?

So much of our hurt is beyond our fixing yet it is not beyond My fixing.

How do you want to proceed, endeavoring to fix it someway, somehow on your own?

You know that will be a futile task and take you very, very far from Me and My Kingdom.

You see, when our heart hurts we feel it is because God hasn’t been paying attention, otherwise it would not be hurting.  Right?

Not so.  You know because I have told you that I am with you always.  Yet, we sometimes get so overwhelmed by the pain and hurt that we forget this profound message.

As soon as the splinter of hurt enters your heart, rush into My Most Sacred Heart.  Do not hesitate.  If you wish you can explain to Me what is hurting, but rest assured I know already.

However, you may want to get if off your chest by explaining it to Me and I most willingly accept your explanation.

Or, you can just rush into My Most Sacred Heart and take shelter there.  Just sit with Me and adore your hurting heart.  See your heart as I made it, not as it is disturbed and frustrated and hurting, but as I made it --- full of Love, full of Me, full of knowing Me, wanting to serve Me above all else.

Let Me release the hurt on your heart.  Let Me rid you of the pain of disillusionment, the pain of abandonment, the pain of discouragement, the pain of sorrow, the pain of retribution.

When our heart is hurting, we will most certainly hurt others.  It is only natural.  When one’s heart is full of Love, we can only Love.

You don’t want to leave your heart hurting for too long, otherwise you will hurt others.

So the shorter the span of time you leave between the first signs of hurt and bringing your hurting heart to Me, the better for the rest of the world.  Because you will not look upon those near to you, or those whom you don’t know, in a loving fashion.

You will be ready, o so ready to judge, to condemn, to be unforgiving, to be nasty, to be insulting, to be proud, angry, despicable.

So the hurt in your heart, not only hurts you, but lashes out to hurt others.  Make sense?

And you really don’t want to do that because you want to be close to Me and love Me and serve Me, and you know that you aren’t doing that when your hurting heart causes you to lash out at others.

Sit with Me awhile.  Come aside and know that I am your God.

Unfold your arms.  Go to your knees in grateful recognition that I have not and will not abandon you.

Leave your hurting heart with Me.  Plunk it on My Lap and tell Me “Here it is Lord, do with it as you see fit.”  

We don’t have to make use of this pain on our own to help save souls.  If so, then we are in charge of saving souls.  And rest assured, we are not.

Yes, we are in the business of bringing souls to Christ, but He is the Saviour.

So when you hurt, give it to Me and let Me make the best of it.  Do not horde your hurts figuring you can fix them or that you will use them to save others.

Either way you are denying My Kingship.  That sounds harsh, but I have not brought you this far without already cautioning you that you are not in charge.  You may want to be, but you are not.

Yet you have great gifts to render to Me which I most gladly accept.

Bring to Me the gift of your hurting heart.  Gee we have never thought of our hurting heart, brought to God, could be a gift.  But o yes it is.  It is the gift of your trust in Me that I can fix all things, in charge of all things, loving all things.

So your hurting heart is not good for nothing!!

It certainly is good for something.  It serves you in such a way that when you bring it to Me for fixing, I accept it as a gift of trust from you.

It enables you to trust more and more in Me and My Loving Ways for you.

So your prayer can be “My God, My God you have not abandoned me.”

What a great switch on a famous prayer to God the Father from Me.  Please use it many, many times to reassure your heart that I do not abandon you.  I do not abandon any of you.  You are Mine.

I love you --- say it again and again --- Jesus Loves me.

This prayer sums up the fact that I will not abandon you.  It is short and most simple and carries every ounce of Truth that I proclaim.

Now let your heart rest in My Heart.  Seeking nothing.  Expecting nothing.  Anxious for nothing.

Try that even just for 5 seconds.  You can do it anywhere.

By placing your heart in My Heart you give Me full permission to BE ALL to you.

Your gift of trusting Me with your heart will be well rewarded.  You may not see or feel any change, yet I assure you your reward is great.

Hark.  Do not look for a reward because that is not the test.  Like, if I give Jesus my heart He will reward Me.  No, no, no.

But I tell you that your heart given to My Heart with deep trust will be rewarded.  You do not give Me your heart to get a reward.  You give Me your heart because you trust in My Love and Goodness with healing which can show itself in a multitude of ways --- all for your good and My Glory.

Ponderings

#308   Oct. 8/14,   10:46pm, at home.

 

The day is drawing to a close.

 

I am still ever watchful over My dear, dear People.

 

Whether you are awake or asleep My Attention is on you .  I do not hesitate to Love constantly.  I want you to know that.

As you sleep, I still create the new hours, your aging, your dreams, your breathing.

 

Because you certainly aren’t controlling your breathing.  You are not even conscious of it.

 

All the silent forces of Creation.  All the obedient forces of My Creation. 

 

Your heart continues to beat, your digestion does its job, your hair grows as do your finger and toe nails.

 

You don’t go to bed and leave Me a note to remind Me to take care of things while you sleep.

 

You automatically realize that that is what happens.

 

You may not think to accredit it to My Plan for Creation, but since you now know, you need only say thanks.

 

I do not need your thanks to continue to work on your behalf, but your thanks to Me brings you closer to your Maker.

 

Let Me care for you tenderly while you sleep.  Let your prayers of thanks be sent with love.

 

“I love the way you care for Me Jesus, thank you.”

 

Now sleep quietly in this part of My Creation.  Knowing I am with you at ALL times never tiring of caring for you My Beloved One, and you My Beloved One, and you My Beloved One.

 

Do not shy away from being called My Beloved One.  Welcome that greeting.  It gives you strength and purpose.  If you are My Beloved One, and I am your beloved one, let us act out of love for each other and all others. 

 

Let us make a pact that we will spread love, unconditional love, as we make our way each day through Creation.

 

Let our love fall on the flower, the clouds, the sleep in your eyes, the dust in the corner, the barking dog.

 

Count the things you do not let your love fall on.  Why?

 

I will leave you to ponder this in your heart.  Place it in your heart as you go to bed tonight and let it seep into you.

 

Do you love these minutes you are asked to write what I am dictating?

 

Interesting eh?  Or are you more in love with the idea of going to sleep?

 

Ask Mother Mary to help you with these ponderings.  She knows best how to do it. Ask her.

 

Night, God Bless.  Let Me love you always.

Each Word Holds Love.

#307   Mon. Oct. 6, 2014,  10:10am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

I have much to share with My People.

Come aside.  Listen.  Be still.  Hear the Words of God whispered into your soul.

‘Come aside’ may be only a fraction of time yet when I call, please come.  You may not even think you need to hear from Me at this time but you do. 

For a fraction of time your heart and Mine will be one.  We will mix with each other and see that ALL that I have planned for you is great.

Your soul needs to know that there is much for it to look forward to.

Rest assured each affirmative Word I proclaim to your soul will greatly nourish your soul and therefore all of you.

You noted I said “affirmative Word” yet each Word I proclaim is just that.  You think I speak negatively at times, yet each Word I speak affirms Me as God, and you as My much loved children.  Each Word holds Love.

I do not want you to think that at one time I affirm you and another time I deny you.

That is not so.

Even My Words that I have given you to keep you on the straight and narrow, may seem like commands, yet are My Loving insight into what brings peace and harmony into your world and the whole world.

My ‘don’t statements’ are affirmative.  Yes.  They affirm that if you do such and such it will not go well with you because you have broken the law of Creation.

It does not mean that I will punish you.  It means that the soul was not created to live in such a broken state.

Take any piece of machinery.  Like they will tell you don’t drop your watch or camera in the water.  Why?  Not because you will be punished but because that piece of manufactured item does not function well, or at all, when it is soaked with water.

Does this make sense?

So you do not get upset when a manufacturer tells you this ---- saying don’t do such and such, or the item you purchased will not function.

But when God says ‘don’t’ (do not) we get upset thinking He is tying us down to a bunch of rules.

His Guidance is to help us live healthier lives.

He does not want to curtail us, NO, otherwise He would not have given us free will.

He wants to guide us so that our soul and body will function well and happy and peaceful and content.

He knew that as His Free Will Creature we would need guidelines that would help all of us function to the best of our ability and for the betterment of the World.

So let us praise and thank Him for His Commandments.  Let us be o so grateful that He not only Created us, but continues to walk with, be with His Creations in a most personal way.

Leap for Joy that you have guidelines.  Thank your God for reminding you of these guidelines.  Praise God for being so thorough and thoughtful in His Creation process.

He did not Create then abandon us.  He is a personal friend and guide to each of us.

Go to your knees and thank our God for being so thoughtful.  Are we as thoughtful and loving as He is?

He does not ask us to make rules for others.  He invites us to love Him and endeavor to follow the guidelines He has so lovingly put in place to help us Love more fully in His Presence.

So we are thoughtful and loving as He is when we love Him and want to serve Him and ponder (think of) the guidelines He has given us.

When we act lovingly and thoughtfully as He does, then we are free to serve Him more fully with all those who come into our lives.

O Jesus, help Me to be faithful to your loving commands.

Now go in Peace knowing I have set you free by providing you with wondrous guidelines that free your heart and soul to serve Him more fully and thus more lovingly.

Jesus Loves me.  Let others see My Love for them through you.  What a loving adventure!

Seek first the Kingdom of God.

Be still and know that I am God.

Harden not your hearts.

Rejoice, you know the Love of God.

My Blessing is on each task, each breath, each thought, each amen that you do today.  See me there.  Know I am there.  Be grateful that I am there. 

 





 

 

My Lord, My God

#306  Sept. 30/14, Tuesday, 9:40am.  St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

My Lord and my God.

What a salutation.  I want you to know that I am that personal to you.  It is not “His Lord, His God.”  I want you to feel such a personal relationship to Me that you are never embarrassed to call Me “my Lord and my God.”

I do not mind if you use it in salutation or derision! You did not want to write the word derision, but I want you to know that I am your personal God and sometimes you may get good and mad and upset with Me.

But know this, your words uttered in derision cannot change My relationship with you.  You can say you are going to cast Me aside and do your own thing.

I will not let go.  I cannot be cast aside!  Doesn’t that make you even crosser, but I want you to know and live in the Truth.

Otherwise you would never feel worthy enough to return to Me if once you cast Me aside, you feel I had also cast you aside.  NO SUCH LUCK!

I embrace you deep in My Heart.  I yearn for your return, I do not give up hope in you.  I Love you from top to bottom, front to back.

You are Mine no matter how far away from Me you try to move.

Do not waste your time by trying and trying to cast Me aside.  I don’t want you to waste your energy on such a foolish endeavor.

I challenge you instead to talk with Me and tell Me why you feel you don’t need Me anymore.

I will not try to interrupt you or convince you as to why you shouldn’t.  You know deep down why you shouldn’t because that soul seed has been planted in you since you were created.

Explain to Me what you can do all on your own without My Help.  I am most serious.  Show Me what you can do that you don’t need Me for.

May I ask you some simple questions to get you started?

---  Can you cause the sun, moon, and stars to do as they are told in the heavens?

---  Can you ‘manufacture’ the air you need to breathe each day?
---  Can you count each hair on your head?
---  Can you create the intrinsic nerves of the eye?

But you may say that those things don’t really have anything to do with you.

Explain to Me right now, yes, stop reading and tell Me how these few things I mentioned or asked have nothing to do with you.

I want to hear from you.  I want your honest explanation.  I want you to know you have the opportunity to ask and ask and answer and answer and answer.

You cannot say I didn’t wait to hear from you or that I am not sincerely interested in hearing from you.

If I did not want to hear from you, I would have said so.

But I do want to hear from you.  Yes I do.

If I am not your God, who is the god in your life?

Is it power?  What can the god of power do for you?

Is it money?  What can the god of money do for you ?

Is it pride?  What can the god of pride do for you?

Is it self-esteem?  What can the god of self-esteem do for you?

I am not belittling you with these questions.  I truly want you to share with Me how you see God or god in your life.

You can’t say you don’t believe in Me, God, and not have put another god in My Place.

Have you made yourself your own god?  That it all depends on you, all that you see around you, you have control over, all that you do, write, think, say you have full control over.

Did you create the larynx so you can talk?

Did you create the muscles in your hand so you can hold a pen and write?
Did you create the trees that you can see, admire, climb, paint, lean against, find shade under?
Do you feel that there are no limits to what you can say, think, do?
Do you know all science, all math, all the universe puzzles?

So if each of you is a god unto him, herself, then you certainly will not look to others to help you with this or that because then you must admit that you can’t do it all.

Is the reason you abandon Me because I did not answer all your prayers, all your expectations, all your wants, as you would have Me do?

Do not lose sight of Me in the turmoil and happenings all around you.  Be aware of Me.  I should say, let’s start you and Me to be aware of a pretty flower in your garden that you did not create.

Let’s start small you and Me.  Start by recognizing that the eyelashes you have, whether they are glamorous or not were not of your creation.  They come with ‘you’.

I know who put them there!  Can you tell Me who put them there?  Sure you can say that they aren’t as nice as you would have made them, but remember you did not and cannot make them.

Are you dissatisfied with Me because you aren’t what you would have created as ‘you’ if you had been the Creator?

Do you see how we are falling back to the topic of content and discontent?

Is that why you have abandoned Me?  Because you are not content with My Ways?  Tell Me now right now, what makes you discontent about the way I Created you.

Shine the light of Truth on your heart and let’s look at your discontent together. 

Tell Me that the most handsome or beautiful person in the World is entirely content with how they look.  There is always something here or there that they would like to adjust, just even a bit.

So once a day sit with Me and let’s see what is it in you that wants to abandon Me.  Ask Me to show you and I most certainly will.

Do you know how much stamina it takes to not want to recognize Me as your God?   What a loss of energy and time when you spend your time, your God-given time, trying to prove Me not.  What a heavy, unnecessary burden to carry.

Come to Me, sit with Me.  Let’s talk.

I love you.  Say this phrase at least once a day for starters “Jesus Loves me.”

#305  Sept. 29/14, 4am. – written at home in book next to bed.

I know Mine and Mine know Me.  I do not come on a whim but with great purpose.

My Purpose is to Love My People so that they will know the Fullness of Me.

Do not turn away because you feel low and lonely.

I do not give everyone the same purpose, so please whatever  purpose I give you in life be very content to serve Me fully in it.

If you want to be famous, that is do something, a purpose, that will make you famous, then your true intentions are not to serve Me but rather to serve your ego.

Of course we all want to be known for what we do, however, if you do it for Me, as part of My Creation Plans, that would be your fullest satisfaction.

Do not look around you for adulation and pomp.  Look to Me and receive My Love that will sustain you much further than any pomp or ceremony.

Do not ache to be known by others. Hope that ‘what’ you are doing for Me is more recognized than you are.

Welcome humility.  Ache to be oh so small so you won’t get in the Way of My Purpose for you.

Hush your tongue.  Do not blow your own horn.  Do not feel you have to defend or explain yourself.

Shy away from recognition.  Do not be proud that people come to you seeking your opinion on such and such.

If ever that happens run to My Most Sacred Heart and ask Me for My Wisdom on this.  Do not rely on your meagre wisdom to solve the problem.

Hush your mind that wants to compliment you.

Whatever you accomplish just remember, you are only doing your Father’s Will.

Unless of course I did not ask you to do this and you know that you did not consult Me first before doing it.

When you have done My Will, just be full of thanks and praise.  Do not fall into the trap of bragging.

Who really has to know what you have done anyway?  Does it not fully satisfy you that I know what you have done in obedience to My Will?

And please remember that if it is not done with Love and out of Love for Me has your soul gained any improvement for doing it? 

Can you see all the things we do, without love being the driving force, that our souls are the poorer for it.

Shouldn’t all we do be to better our souls on this earth?

How much do you love Me?  Count the ways.  It is very easy.  Each task you do, are you doing it with Love and for Love of Me?

If you are crashing around the dishes because you feel someone else should do them or at least help you do them, where is the Love?

If you put out the garbage growling all the while, where is the Love?

Do you see, the task may get done, but not to the enhancement of your soul.

What a waste of your time here on earth.  To do things that will not benefit your soul in eternity. 

So each time you undertake a task, run to My Most Sacred Heart and get a bucket full of My Divine Love and pour it into your new heart.

Check yourself and your attitude to see if whatever it is you are undertaking you are doing it in Love.  So thus nothing you undertake is a waste of time.

You can clean your whole house but if it is done with a nasty disposition, or a feeling sorry for yourself thinking, then it has been a waste of  your time, your precious time.

Because you have not gained an ounce of goodness for your soul!

Sure you get the house clean but you will be paid nothing for your wages.  You have not enriched the life of your soul.

The house is clean but your ‘house’, your soul, is not any shinier, not any more nourished rather it is weakened.

Because if you are not doing the task with Love, then what is your attitude?  What feelings are dominating you?

Hmmm --- do you see what I mean?

Anger, upset, frustration, bitterness do not serve the soul well at all.

That is food that the soul cannot survive on and thus the soul is weakened. 

Then do you not think that when your soul is weakened it is not prime to sin more easily??

For sure, for sure.

Sleep now.  Something just dawned on you Margo didn’t it!!!

How Marvelous!  My Words are meant for the World and that also includes you !

Let Me surprise each one of you by pointing out things that you may have easily overlooked.

I only point this out to you so you will be sure to gain the Kingdom of Heaven.

God Bless.   Let Me surprise you again tomorrow.
