The Grace of Truth and Honesty

#321  Nov. 14/14 Fri. 3:45pm ,  St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Scatter the clouds.  Do not live in darkness.  Share your light with others.  Do not presume that I do not have a good and sound purpose for your life.

Let Me be in charge.  Do not wander down paths seeking another to satisfy your life.  Do not wander far from Me, your God center.

Why would you hesitate to share the Good News?

Perhaps you do not know what the Good News is?

The Good News is that I Love again and again and again.  That is the Good News. If I only Loved 7x and then after that you are on your own there would be a world filled with people going astray.

No, No.  I say I Love constantly, willingly, always fully.  I do not count what you may do that takes you away from My Love.  I don’t look on you in any negative way.  I only behold you as My Beloved.  I want you to know and be so reassured in this.

Now may I ask you, do you love again, and again, and again and always?

And you will tell Me that you don’t, but heh thank Me for asking you this question because then you have the opportunity to reveal to your heart that it is not always in a loving mode.  And this is the Truth and delight that you know this to be the Truth.

I want you living in the Truth.  Even if it is to admit that you aren’t always truthful and faithful to Me.  That is honesty. That is graced honesty.

Thank Me for the Grace of Honesty and Truth.

See how you scatter the clouds of darkness when you are able to admit to your soul that you do not always live in honesty and truth.  And really you are admitting it to Me. So you have been graced to see where the untruth and dishonesty have taken you and still want to take you. 

What a Grand Grace to be able to walk in the Light of Christ.

To be able to see and understand and admit that we do not always love in Truth and Honesty.

What a blessing.  Does this not lighten your soul, that even though you may not always live in Honesty and Truth that you at least see it, realize it and acknowledge it to your soul, ie. to Me.

Have the courage to speak the Truth.

Have the courage to act Honestly.

Do you see what the Good News “Unconditional Love” is revealing to you?

That to Love unconditionally includes being able to admit our sins and omissions against Truth and Honesty. 

You see, we just think it is to love, but go back to Corinthians and read what Love is.  The Love I want you to allow to penetrate into every cell of your soul.

What a gentle revelation to you this day --- that even when we respond to the Grace to repent, to admit we are not always truthful and honest breaks open Love more and more to us and for us.

We do not think unconditional Love for you means repentance – but o yes it does.

If you want to love unconditionally then you must be able to admit your sins!

Because when your heart/soul is concerned with sin, whatever it is, it cannot love unconditionally!  It is plain and simple.

So if you tell Me you want to Love fully and completely, please check your heart and be willing to admit to Me those sins that are filling up parts of your heart and thus cluttering it so that unconditional Love can’t take a strong foot-hold.

Continue to ask Me to fill you with more of Me and I will.  But please be prepared to have Me point out to you what you must be willing to remove, with My Help, but with your willingness.  I cannot remove an iota unless you want Me to.

So be prepared that as you want more of Me in your heart that I will know that you are willing to look at what I ask you to be willing to remove.

You see it is easy to ask Me to fill you with more of Me, but not so easy to hear what I ask you in turn to remove.  Hmmmm.

I want to fill you with more of Me.  Are you willing to let go of what I ask you to remove, not what you plan to remove, but what I ask you to remove so more of Me can live in the more of you.

We have mentioned Truth and Honesty.  Perhaps you can start there.  Ask Me to Grace you to discern how these play an important part in your God-centered life.

Go now in the Peace of the Lord.  May Heaven reign.  May the Gospel of Love be spread far and wide.

My Time

#320  Nov. 13/14, Thursday, at home 1pm

Come and listen to My Words.

I have much more to tell you about your life as I see it.

Do no harm.  Smile. Be still. Be patient. Do not make false accusations.  Do not let your tongue express any lies.  Keep your simple faith.  Honor all those whom I send into your life.

Yes, all those you encounter, even from a distance, as that woman at Lawton’s talking on her phone near-by you.

Why do I allow folks to enter your life?  Hmmm.  It is never a test.  It is a time for you to recognize that I have put this person into Creation in this space/time of your life.

The concern of yours should not be to question Me and why I did it and what I wanted you to learn from it.

Do not suppose you know why I allow things to happen?

How did you react?  Did you invite Me into the scene with you?  Did you think to take her heart and her son’s heart and the person to whom she was speaking into My Most Sacred Heart?

Did you notice how you went into your head and were commenting to yourself?  All this time you could have been spending in prayer to Me with Me.

What a great example for you.  And for those of you reading this, take note.  How often when you over-hear a loud conversation are you making comments to yourself  about one or the other?

Again, unless you bring it to prayer, to Me, it is time lost in our union together.

And this is not Me bawling you out, but rather Me pointing out to you another instance that you can spend in union with Me rather than with your own thoughts, reactions and feelings.

You have told Me you want to fill you with more of Me.  So I must explain situations like this to you, so you will see how to make richer the time I have allotted you.

Swing Low sweet chariot … yes Jesus come ever and ever more closer to me.  Let me be instructed by You, if my wish is to be in a deeper and deeper relationship with You.

Do not cry in frustration that you didn’t call Me into the scene.  Rather, thank Me that I so want to point these things out to you so you will grow in Love for all My People.

Be ever so grateful that I continue to enlighten you as to how you can best spend your time in union with Me in the world.

Every moment in Time belongs to Me so please let Me help you to live it to the fullest.

We so often say “I don’t have time to do this.”

Yet have you ever asked Me to give you the time to do this.  (whatever the ‘this’ is).

Do you thank Me for the time I do give you --- for a nap, to journal, watch tv, drive in your car, read a book, adore?

“O God help me to spend Your Time as You will me to.”

Now that is a deep prayer.  What I mean is that it calls for us to give up a lot of ourselves to allow Jesus to lead me in making the fullest use of His Time.

In your prayer, ask Me to help you make better use of My Time.  You see, we seem to think we ‘own’ our own time.  Like we say, help me God make better use of my time.  But Time does not belong to you.  Time is under My Care.

So, as in the incident earlier today when you heard that woman on the phone, can you see how you could make better use of My Time?

Yes, when you hear, see, feel things, instantly leap into My Most Sacred Heart so there is no judgment call on your part, because there was and you now realize it.

You are not intentionally judging, yet looking back you can see that you did.  And in so doing you moved from Me to you as the center person in this time of your life.

Trust and Thanks -- one prayer

#319  Sunday, Nov. 9/14  8am., at home.

I come to do your will.

I am beside you at all times and in all circumstances.

Do not be afraid.  Call on Me to strengthen your soul.

Sit with Me awhile and hear My Words for you.

I have not abandoned you.  On the contrary, I have enriched you.  You have asked Me to strengthen you and I have.

And remember when you ask for this strength for your soul you will follow it with a thank you.  Otherwise your being is just asking and really may be not anticipating receiving. When you ask, anticipate that you have received and then just a simple thank you.

So often we ask hoping that I will fulfill your request.

No longer hope that I will, but rather trust that I do.

We can go through life hoping for this and that, but only hoping.  Your thanks to Me indicates that you believe I can, will, and want to answer your request.

We seem to complete the first part of our desire – hoping – yet do not make it a trusting request.  We can make it a trusting request by our thanks.

So we can live in almost a shaky hope not really secure that I will fulfill your request.

But I want you to live in the fullness of Me.

And that calls for deep trust and deep gratitude – all in one.

Perhaps your first prayer can be “I trust in Your Will for me Lord, thank you.”

In this prayer, you are not requesting a specific thing (although I don’t mind if you do) but rather you are trusting the all of you into the ALL of Me, with gratitude.

We may say that “My request was never answered” and that may appear true in your eyes.

Yet, if I answered each person’s request as they would have Me do, there would be no trusting and no heart-felt gratitude.

Hard to believe eh?  That if I answered every one of your requests as you would have Me do, I would not be the Supreme Being.

So make to Me a prayer of trust – you trusting that whatever you request will be heard by My Most Sacred Heart and taken in and loved and made more complete by My Will.

Let your trust and thanks be one prayer to Me.  Let Me reign in your life as I know best.

I will not trash any request you make of Me.  Yet I will make it fuller and more complete by My Love flowing through it.

Do not ever hesitate to bring your request to Me.  However, remember that you come to Me trusting that I hear your request  --  TRUE --- and that I have My Love all over it --- TRUE – and that I will fulfill the TRUTH in that request.

Let Me give you an example:

You may ask: “Lord I need a new window in my house.”

So I take this request and then fill you with the next step and the next step.  Each one of us thinks we come up with the ideas of how to accomplish this.  But no, I plant these ideas into your being.

So you have to find a contractor, the right window size and shape, the time of year you want it done, if you will be home and if not who will be, etc., etc.

Now you do not have to tell the contractor “bring all your tools, which include your ladder, hammer, screwdriver, saw, etc.

Now he may not be able to come on the day of your choosing or the window may take several weeks to be ordered.

Do you see where this is leading to?   Hmmm.

I God am the Contractor that you contact about whatever your concern is.

I hear your request and yet you do not have to tell Me what small things I need to ‘bring with Me’ to get the job done.

You request and then you leave it in My Hands.

You let Me measure it and figure the exact size and shape opening.

You let Me insert the window as I see fit.  I might figure that you don’t need a new window or it is not possible or reasonable for this window to go exactly where you wanted.

What I want you to realize and trust in is that I take each person’s ‘order’ and then I put My Love into it so the ‘order’ fits with My Plans for your life.

“Go tell it on the Mountain that Jesus Christ is born.”

Now where/why do I use this phrase?

Because if you proclaim that I have come into your life, then you must allow Me always to be the God of your life – full and complete.

And the fullness of Me in your life can only be expressed by you unconditional Trust and Thanks in Me.

So sit with Me awhile and contemplate how much of Me, Jesus, you will be willing to proclaim to the world.

God Bless, Thank you so much for coming aside to listen to My Words.  I love you and you are My Beloved One.
