Priority List

#514   Sun. Apr. 10/16  8:40am, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

 (Priority list)

Sing to the Mountains.  Yet they already know who I am and who Created them.

I am not saying they have senses as we do, yet they are fulfilling the purpose for which I made them.

Quiet your soul.  Sit before Me and ask Me to satisfy in you the purpose for which I made you.

Do not squander your begging.  That is, do not beg Me for things the soul does not need.

Make a list of the things you want and need and let Me point out to you that which will make a holy impact on your soul and that which your soul does not need.

See, with me, how many of your desires are pointed toward Me.

Many? Not Many? A Few?  None?

This list will reveal to you our relationship and how serious you want this relationship to be.

Each one of you is a priority on My List.  Am I a priority on your list?

I ask this question to help you define to your soul where you are in our relationship.

If you don’t know, you will be too comfortable to seek to get closer and closer to Me.

So stop right here and make a list of what you want/need.

Be most honest.  How many times am I mentioned?  Tell Me how each item on the list will bring you Eternal Joy. 

So perhaps before we make our list, I should ask you the question “What is your goal in life?  What is your eternal goal in life?”

Do you have an eternal goal or are you just living in the present with no goal in mind?

Maybe I have got it all wrong and that I do not play any part in your life at all.  Am I right or wrong in making this assumption.  Please tell Me.

How can I convince you to follow Me and let all else fall by the wayside?

Once again, where do I stand in your list of priorities?

If I am not first, then what false god is before Me?

Money, new clothes, admiration, status, adventures, alcohol/drugs?

None of these can bring you into Eternal Life. 

None of these have ever promised you Peace.

None of these will ever satisfy because they are fleeting and not permanent.

I stand before you now offering you safe passage into Eternity.  Offering you Peace, offering you lasting friendship.

I am not a false god.  I stand in Truth.  I am the Truth.  All other false gods cannot fulfill the desire of your soul --- to serve its Creator, to love its Creator.

Beware of all false gods – pride, envy, gossip – these are false gods because they attempt to salve the human nature and lead us away from the real God.  Anything that leads you away from Me is a false god.

Now, go in Peace, the only Peace your soul needs, the only Peace that only the True God can extend to you. 

I Love you, you are My People.  Come dwell in Me because I dearly want to dwell in you.

I am with you at all times yes, but I want to dwell in you in a heart that aches for My Loving Presence each waking moment.

Let Me BE your God, your one and only God.
