Serve with Joy

(Serve with Joy)

Undo all that binds you.  Ask Me to undo all that binds you.  You may not see all the little strings and knots that bind you, but I do.

You may think you know what binds you and that is what you think you have to deal with.  But I tell you there are far more things that bind you that you do not know about.

So, ASK Me.  I am here to serve the servant.  I want to unbind you so that all that you do in service to Me you do with great Joy.

If/when you have binds on you that keep your heart in chains, you know you can try to serve Me but it just doesn’t work to the greatest effect as it would if your heart was unbound. 

Before Confession, ask Me to unbind your heart – to help you take off the chains that prevent you from making a good confession.

I want your heart free so that it can serve Me with great Joy. 

When you serve with Joy you are not looking for any recompense.  The Joy you experience while serving Me is recompense enough.

You never thought of it like that before did you!  So you see if you try to serve Me with a heart that is all bound up, after you have served Me you will look around for the reward!

So, let the Joy with which you serve Me from an unfettered heart be all the reward you ever need.

And to live in and serve in that Joy you will have to unloose that which binds your heart.

Ask Me to help you and I will leap in with scissors and snip and cut away all that holds your heart in bondage.

Let Me help.  I know what has to be cut loose.  Just tell Me “Lord release me from my bonds.”

And be prepared to have Me reveal to you what these bonds are so you can take them to Confession for the abundant Graces that you will receive there.

If I take away your bonds,  I also want to fill you with Graces.

So let go of the bonds in the Sacrament of Confession and receive the Graces waiting for you there.

Ask Me what bonds you need to confess and I will gladly point them out to you.  Just Ask.

Each one of our hearts has been in bondage for a long, long time.

Now is the right time to seek healing and seek freedom from this bondage.

Come to Me all who are burdened…

You have heard Me say this and it applies to you and your situation right now.

Come adore the Lord who alone can release you from your bondage.

I want you to serve Me Joyfully this lent.  Can you see the difference?

You no longer have to do penance with a long face, but you get to serve Me Joyfully because your heart is free and eager to do so since your heart is no longer in bondage.

Be Joyful this Lent.  Serve Me Joyfully this Lent.

a Lenten Practice

#488  Wed. Feb 10/16,  4:50am, at home in bedside book

Hush.  Be silent.  Be with only Me.  Have no plans.  Just be most content to be with Me.

Bring precious souls into My Most Sacred Heart.  I welcome all with profound Love and Mercy.

Do not hesitate throughout this day to bring these and other souls into My Divine Presence.

I want My People with Me now and throughout Eternity.

You do not know how many Graces you bring to these souls, and you do not need to know.

Do not count the number of times you bring them into My Most Sacred Heart, just dedicate yourself with My Guidance to bring them into My Sacred Heart.

What a great Lenten practice!  Bring souls daily into My Most Sacred Heart.

So you see you are doing something spiritual for lent 2 ways --- bringing precious souls into My Most Sacred Heart AND giving up of yourself to do this.

It is such a beneficial sacrificial prayer.  You do good for others while serving Me.

There are no special books to read or things to give up.

There is only you serving My Request to your great spiritual benefit and the great good of other souls.

Ask Me to remind you to do this simple spiritual task.

The Right Time

#487  Mon. Feb. 8/16, 2:45pm  at home

Respond when I call.  Do not try to tell Me you are doing something else worthwhile.

I ask for your attention to My Words for the World.  My request is not hard, yet sometimes it does not seem like a good time. 

When I ask My People to do something for Me it is the best of times – it is the right time.

Let Me use your hesitation to show others that I do not want you to hesitate when I call.  Now, you may, and, due to your free will, I can’t stop you.

What I want you to realize though is that when I call it is always the right time.  I have picked the time, so it is right.

You, on the other hand, pick and choose what you want to do and don’t even think “Is it the right time?”

Not that I want you to go doubting yourself, but rather encourage you to check with Me if it is the right time to do such and such.

Come aside and joyfully do as I ask.

We may get cross or upset because we had other things – good things, planned to do.

I want you to rely on Me for your day’s work/duties/calling.

Do not tell Me your plans, but rather ask Me what My Plans are for you today.

And thus leave it in My Hands, so when I do interrupt something you are doing, you most sincerely know it is Me asking you to do something today.

Let the snow fall, let your computer stand idle, let your rosary wait till you take it up again.  Let all else fall away from your attention and pay sole attention to Me and My Plans.

Be most willing to let Me interrupt whatever to insert Me and My Plans into your day.

You see, when you surrender, you are not supposed to give Me a time table when I can or can’t interrupt your plans for your day.

By letting Me interrupt you, you really are expressing to Me that this is not your day but it really is all My Day and I have every right to put it in order as I see fit.

Slander no one, do not gossip, tear yourself away from focusing on you and turn yourself to Me – your beloved one.

The less of your will in this day, the more complete this day will be because it is run under My Will for My Creation.

You have not willed this day into being, so don’t hesitate to turn it over to the One who has willed this day into being.

Now, My Beloved Ones, go through this day plan-free allowing Me to direct this day into the Fullest of its being.

Bless your willingness to be more and more obedient, more and more willing to have Me fill your day with more of My Plans for the World.

Seek First the Kingdom

#486  Feb. 8/16, 12:30am, at home

Sit quietly in the silence of this night.

Wipe away all other thoughts.  Focus your heart and head on Me and My Words for the World.

Do not hasten ahead, but write what I say and how I want it said.

My Truth shall prevail.  You will never find another Truth anywhere which stands firmer and more sincere than My Truth.

You have even seen around you how science proves a thing to be true, then at some point have to come back to reveal that they had not learnt the full Truth of what they were investigating.  That is normal because no one knows the fullness of Truth that I know.

So that is why I encourage you to seek first the Kingdom of Heaven.

As you fall asleep now, in your good night prayer, put forth the intention of seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven.  Do not let anything take precedence over this.  Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven --- not a new job, good health, an answer to a petition --- no, seek first the Kingdom of Heaven.
