WHO made you?

#513  Thurs. Apr. 7/16,  4:25 am.,  St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

(who made you?)

Good morning My People.  Good early morning.

Thank Me now for the air around you.  Thank Me now for the pleasant thoughts I wish to share with you.  Thank Me now for the pen and paper.  Thank Me now for the silence that you can  hear.

What I am encouraging you to do is, first and foremost, to be thankful – a thankful people.

When we say thanks, our body and soul are in a very gentle place.  We do not look around for the unpleasant, but we endeavor to thank God for the smallest, sometimes most insignificant things. 

“thank you” keeps you in a gracious, happy mode.  Looking ahead at the day with optimism.

Otherwise you greet the day with fears, impatience, a growl on your face, in your soul.

You must admit that ‘thank you’ says it so much better.

Thank you for the blanket, thank you for the bed, thank you for my eyesight, thank you for all things, even the small things I happen to miss Lord as I go through my day.

Ask Me to remind you to say thanks. Because I assure you it will keep you in a better state of mind and soul.

Just look around you right now and thank Me for whatever you see, touch, smell, feel.

See the stillness in all around you.  See how they are there to delight you and bring new occasions of thanks into your heart.

Look at the obedience of all that is around you.  That may sound crazy, but each object is playing the part for which it was created!  Right?

The lamp holds the light bulb that gives light that comes on when you turn it on, but can’t come on if it is not plugged in and if electricity is not flowing from the plug into and through the wire to the lamp.

Thank Me for all the parts of the lamp that I Created allowing you to have light to write by.  We think these are man-made.  But who made man?

Get back to the Source of ALL and give thanks to the Source of ALL.

Ground your thanks in the Source of ALL.

The cloth to cover the table did not make itself.  The machines made to make the cloth did not make themselves.  The people who made the machines did not make themselves.

Who made you?   God made you. 

BE grounded in Me because you are grounded in Me.

It is when we move away from the Source of our very being that we get lost and befuddled.

Thank Me for Creating you. 

Thank Me for Creating you as I did.  Not as you wish I had, but as I did.

Thank Me that I am able and willing to fix all the parts of you that may have been broken or damaged over the years.

My Hand is on each of My Creations always offering My Help and Sustenance.

Thank Me this day for this reminder that I am your Creator and I am delighted with My Creation.

a simple measuring stick

#512  Wed. Apr. 6/16, 9:55 am, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament.

Oh Lord, My God.  Let me see You in each person I encounter today.  Let Your Light shine forth from each of us all over the World.  May we not hide Your Light but make it visible to the World.

Do not stop My People from loving the World.  That means we are called to Love each individual in the World.

You see, that is where we get caught.  We get caught up in thinking we are Loving all, only to realize that sometimes in our one on one conversations we do not like a particular person.

Do you see what I mean?  Intentionally, each day, put on the prayer shawl of Love.  Do not let it slip from your shoulders.  Hold it firmly in place by My Divine Love.

Think this.  Would I stop Loving this person from which you are withholding your love?  That is a very simple measuring stick.

When you stop loving this person, have I stopped Loving them?   I have a greater stake in their lives, I should be more offended than you, but still I do not stop Loving.

Do you see what I so eagerly want you to see?  They may have hurt you, yet they have also hurt Me.  And yet I continue to Love them.  Ask Me each day to give you the Great Grace of Loving even in the midst of hurt and pain.

It is easy isn’t it to Love someone who is nice to you and loving and thoughtful.  But that is just tit for tat.  That is just returning what the other is giving you.

Now, imagine yourself face to face with the person you are finding hard to Love.  Do you think they are also struggling to Love you? 

Hmmm.  A dilemma.

How can I love someone who does not love me Lord?

But I have not commanded you to Love only those who Love you.  Have I?

I have told you to Love.  You are the one who decides who deserves your love and who does not deserve your love.  Did I ever tell you that, if you want to follow Me, that that is a choice you can make and still be a follower of Mine?

I have told you, that to follow Me --- if you choose to follow Me – you must Love all unconditionally.  That is the choice you are able to make with your free will.  Not whom you can Love and not Love as a follower of Mine, but rather will you follow Me or not.

That is your basic free-will choice – to follow Me or not.

Once you have chosen to follow Me, if you are most sincere, there is no free-will choice to Love or not to Love. 

I am Love.  You cannot Love Me and not Love those whom I Love.

When you find yourself struggling with this, realize that you are not really and truly and fully Loving Me!

Let that be your wake-up call.  Let that stir your heart to ache to Love as I Love.

So, when your Love wanes for another human being, see it as a true fact that your Love is waning for Me.

It is not the TRUTH if you proclaim that you Love Me and you do not love another of My Dear Father’s Creation. 

When your Love dies for another, your Love also dies for Me.

My Love for you does not die,  but your Love for Me certainly does, because you have chosen not to Love when all I have asked you to do is to Love.

“O Sweet Jesus, help me to Love as You Love.”

It is possible, but you first of all, before you go off into an un-loving mode, come to Me and ask Me to help you Love as I Love.

You need “the Grace of Loving as Jesus Loves” poured into your struggling heart.  But, if you do not ask for it, crave it, beg for it, desire it, I will not be able to give it to you.

You have to choose to Love as I Love.  You have to choose to want to Love as I Love.

It’s not always easy because of our human nature that sometimes bends to the wishes of the devil. 

Keep in mind, that each time you remain unloving, you are not following Me.  So who then are you allowing to lead you down this dark path of anger and hatred?

We hate to think we hate someone.  But, if you are not loving, then what are you doing?  Ignoring them, Lord!  Then you are also ignoring Me.  Avoiding them, Lord, then you are also avoiding Me. 

Tell Me you really want to Love them and My Grace will fill your heart and enable you to Love and not hate.

Your Soul Source

#511   Sun. Apr. 3/16,  9am, St. Theresa’s before Blessed Sacrament

(your soul source)

Precious people.  Come to Me.  Come to Me with Great Joy because you know I have RISEN.

Rejoice.  Clap your hands.  Dance for Joy.  What Greater News than this!!!

I AM WHO AM.  I want My People to know who I am.

I am your soul source of Comfort and Retreat.  Come to Me, tell Me your story.  Whisper it if it is hard to say really out loud. 

Do not back away from My Enormous Help feeling that you do not deserve it.  But even worse, do not back away from My Gracious Help because you feel you want to stay in anger, guilty, shame-filled to show Me how you really want to be in control of this part of your life.

Do not put the blame on Me if you refuse to come to Me for comfort and consultation.

If you wish to persist in you leading you, then you will not get far, yet you will get farther and farther away from Me.

Once again who are you following?   You are very limited in your leadership role.  I know the beginning and the end because I AM the Beginning and the End!!!

Can you say the same about yourself?

Yet, you have full access to the One who is the Beginning and the End and who wants to help you through all of your life’s journey.

Stop Judging Me

#510  Tues. Mar. 29/16,  11 pm, at home

(stop judging ME)

I never have to pre-warn you that I will be dictating.  Yet you know when I call.  So let’s talk.

Let Me tell you that nothing you have said or done against Me is unforgiveable.  I look at you with Great Love and no judgment.  Certainly Judgment comes but not as you think it will look.

But that is not to worry you.   If you let that worry you then you do not Trust Me the God of Love.

Once distrust creeps in, then it is you who is judging.  You judge that I can’t really Love you unconditionally because of all that you have done. 

So now you are judging that your actions are far greater than My Love.  But how can that be so?  I ask you, how can that be so?

If you judge like this, then you do not know Me.

May I ask – do you want to know Me?  Have you judged it isn’t really worth your while to try to get to know Me. 

Isn’t it funny that we may worry about Me judging you, when most of the times it is you judging Me!

How about we start over?  I tell you “I Love you” – and your response is, “thank you”, or might it be, “not now Lord”, or might it be “I am not good enough.”

Well, let’s just start with you saying “thank you, Lord”, when you read right here and now that “I Love you”.  I am talking directly to you as you read these Words of Mine, so now just practice saying “thank you, Lord”.

Thank Me for encouraging you to say “Jesus Loves me.”

When you hear, read, see that I Love you, don’t waste our time trying to figure out how this can BE.  It is because I have told you so.  And note I do not ask for anything in return when I tell you I Love you.

I encourage you to say “thanks” because otherwise you will waste your time, our time together, trying to prove Me wrong.  Can’t be done!!

Ask Me to help you free up your soul so it can belt out “thank you, Lord” as you go about your day.

Thank you Lord, for this day.

Thank you Lord, for the folks you put in my day.

Thank you Lord, for my precious soul.

Thank you Lord, for everything.
