NOT your plans

(not your plans)

Come aside and listen to My Voice.  I call you to prayer.  I call  you to holiness.  Even in the middle of a hectic day, I call you to pray.  I call you to be Holy --- more with Me than yourself.

Climb down from your perch where you want to oversee the World, and climb into My Arms.  Climb into My Sacred Heart.

Do not line up any plans for you.  Throw the all of you into My Arms, into My Most Sacred Heart.

Why do you hesitate?  Whom are you trying to please?

I want you to be pleased that you are serving only Me.

I want your focus focused on what I want from you this moment.

Turn away from your plans.  Turn to My Plans for your life.

Do I seem to be repeating Myself?  I do not care!  I want you to get the eternal message --- Come to ME!

Do not waste the time I freely give you looking around as to what to do next. Take the time I freely give you to ask Me what I want you to do next.

It is always a struggle when you feel you have not achieved your plans for your day.

So, don’t plan your day. Trust that I know what has to be done first and foremost.  And so then what gets done is of prime importance to Me.

Do not attempt to please your desires, always focus on completing what I want for you this day.

Ask Me.  Don’t tell me you are not sure of My Plans for you.  Ask Me and I will point out to you what I want for you to do. 

Looking or Being

(looking or being)

Great and Generous God. Thank you for your Real Presence.  Thank you for being a peaceful place of safety and refuge.

Come My People and adore.  Do not be afraid or ashamed to proclaim to your soul that you want to adore.  Let your soul lead you to prayerful adoration.

So many times we are afraid to look holy.  Why?  Really I ask you why?  But I don’t want you looking holy.  I’d rather you BE holy.

Looking holy according to you means a pious face and attitude and manner.  

BEING holy takes on a soul attitude.  Do I want to waste time on things that are not of God, or do I want to spend time with God in His Most Holy Presence? 

So do not mind looking holy to others, yet prefer to BE holy before Me at all times.

Sometimes, we may put on our holy appearance to impress others.  Yet, I want you all the time to BE holy before Me.  Do not hesitate an iota to BE holy before Me.

You see I know what Holy is.  So I will know if you are trying to deceive Me by your external attitude and behavior or your internal BEING holy in and from your soul.

Do not try to fool Me.  Because the only one you really fool and deceive is yourself.

Ask Me to show you how to BE Holy in My Holy Presence.

Do I ask you to brag or complain?

Do I ask you to take on a martyr’s attitude?

Do I ask you to pretend to Love when really you don’t?

I call you to Truthfulness.  I call you to truthfully tell Me that you are struggling to Love this person or that person instead of lying to Me knowing deep in your heart you still can’t stand that person.

Honesty in My Presence is part of BEING Holy.  Lying is not part of being holy.  So please be most honest with Me. 

Admitting that you want Me in your life more than anything else is being Holy before Me. 

You are not telling Me that I am ALL in your life, but rather admitting that you really, really want Me to be ALL in your life. 

This tells Me you are trying, aching, desiring that degree of Holiness that is challenging to acquire and maintain.

Endeavor regularly during the day to turn your heart towards Me.  What a great act of Holiness. You are willing to turn from endeavoring to have you served, to seeking to serve Me – and you serve Me through LOVE.

BE in LOVE with Me.  Let Me help you BE in LOVE with others.

The more you turn to Me, the more you will BE with Me, the more you will LOVE Me and others.

Come and BE with Me and see your tender holiness grow stronger and stronger through this marvelous LOVE bond.

You can only grow in holiness by spending more time with Me than with yourself!

Come into my heart, Lord

(Come into my heart, Lord)

My dear, dear People.  I adore you as you adore Me in the Blessed Sacrament.  I am so grateful for your faithfulness.

Beg Me to come.  Come Lord Jesus, Come.  You have come into the Chapel, now beg Me to come into your eager and awaiting heart.  All I need is for you to invite Me in and I will dash with all speed.

Please don’t just sit there lamenting your situation in life, what is happening or what has happened in your life, but rather hasten to say “Come into my heart Lord Jesus.”

You see, sometimes when you come before Me, you are only too willing to tell Me all about you.  But rest assured I already know all about you.

So waste no time detailing this and that about your life.

Jump right in with the prayer “Come into my heart Lord Jesus – now!”

For that is what I really, really want to do.  If you can’t invite Me in to rearrange your heart from a hurting heart to a healing heart, I can do very little except Love you and Listen to you.

But I ache to put My Love for you into action within you!

Let Me undo the wrinkles in your heart caused by worry.

Let Me rearrange this and that that you have tossed around in moments of anger.

Let Me still all that was helter skelter all around not making any sense, yet disturbing you all the same.

I want your heart cushiony and ready for anyone to jump into and find a soft place to take rest.

Look at your heart right now.  Could anyone come in and find a gentle place to lay their head?

Really, look at your heart.  Is it welcoming to all?

Hmmm.  Is it a place where friend and stranger alike could find rest and comfort?

We neaten our homes so that visitors will find a welcoming chair to recline on.

Yet, we forget to tidy our hearts.  Oh we sometimes might try on our own, but that is very futile.

We need to look at our hearts, invite Jesus in, and beg Him to clean it up.  Let Me be your servant.  I can make all things neat and tidy.

I can put the cushions in the very right places. 

I can make the lighting soft and gentle. 

I can instill an atmosphere of peace where all would feel most welcome. 

I can make all things right, so call on Me, call on Me often.  I want to make all things right for your heart so you can serve me with Love and Kindness and Gentleness.

“I give you permission dear Lord to come in and clean up my broken, tattered heart.”

Do not be afraid to reveal to Me that you realize your heart is torn and tattered.  And that is why you invite Me in to heal and mend all the parts that have needed My Gentle Hand all these years. 

Do not wait till you think you  have your heart ready for Me to enter --- it will never happen!  That is, you will never feel your heart is very right ever to have Me come visit.

And heh, I don’t want to visit.  I want to LIVE in and LOVE through your heart.

Ask Me, go on ask Me.  Just say it in a few words --- “Come Lord Jesus, make your home in my heart.”

I Love you.  You are My Beloved One.  I adore you.
