a fresh clean soul

 (a fresh clean soul)

Come aside.  Put all else aside and Come BE with Me.

Do not let yourself be troubled.  I call you, you come.  Do not debate with Me. If I ask you to come aside, do so with great obedience.

Sit quietly in the midst of My Most Sacred Heart.  This is a haven for one and all so never hesitate.  Bring with you whomever you wish.  It will never be overcrowded and you will always receive My Fullest Attention.

Do not come bearing gifts as at My Birth.  Come bearing your precious soul which is My Father’s gift to you.

Come to have your soul purified.  Come to have your soul fixed --- fixed from all that has entered and rather distorted its outlook on life.  Come with your precious soul fully knowing, believing that I will care for it and set it aright.

It is like a spring tune-up for your car.  Though you only take your car once or twice a year, I would expect you to eagerly bring your precious soul much more often.

You see, you sometimes do not even know what has gotten into your precious soul that has weakened it.  The evil one is that subtle.  It is almost like a small piece of dust that can build up and build up over time.

So, the more often you bring your precious soul into My Sacred Heart, the cleaner it becomes and does not allow for any build- up of dirt and grime that slows it down.

Any evil, even small, does not allow your soul to run at full capacity to guard and guide you super well each day.

We don’t think of it like that.  We say “well that is only a small white lie.”  But now you know that even that is not healthy for a soul that desires, above all, to be focused always on the Lord.

You need not list off all the good things you have done.  You must know that I appreciate your good works.  But, I want you to be aware that your good works done with a fresh clean soul is all the better for you.

And the dirtier the soul gets, the less good works it will be inclined to do.  We start then to make excuses and do them less and less because our soul has not the good strength to lead us.

Come aside right now and ask Me what you need to remove from your soul that is hindering its true purpose --- to lead you to Eternal Life. 

What is more important?

(what is more important?)

O Come all yee Faithful.  Come and BE with Me.  Do not let anything interfere with My Call and your coming.

Don’t we put up all sorts of objections --- but to what avail?  So, you don’t come and sit with Me.  What else have you chosen to do that outranks, outshines Me?

I fear your excuses would not stand up in the heavenly court.

This may sound like chastisement, but it is a most gentle reminder that there is nothing more important than Me in your life.

But for some of you it may take time, even a life time to have this sink in.

Think now, think hard.  If I walked into your life right now and stood in front of you and told you I was Jesus, the One and Only Jesus, what would you say? 

What excuses would you give Me for not tossing all else aside and abiding in Me?

Do you think you would rush off to something more important or would you tell Me I am the Most Important Person in your life.

Examine your conscience.  How many times have you rushed off to do something else and, let Me tell you, it is not anything greater than spending time with Me. 

What are our excuses?  Do we think I will understand and say “heh, no problem, just rush off and I will hope to get time with you another time.”

Do I have to book an appointment?  How about if I say each day for the rest of your life at least 1 hour dedicated solely to Me. 

What would you say?  I leave you 23 hours otherwise to do as you wish.  But is 1 hour a day still too much to give me?

Does it scare you when I ask you right now what you are willing to give Me? What amount of time will you give Me when I have been so generous in giving you all sorts of time?

Could this be, might this be a question St. Peter asks at the Pearly Gates?  How much one on one time did you spend with the Lord daily, weekly, monthly, at all?  How honest can your answer be?

Stay with Me awhile. And do you see what happens when we don’t?  You all flee at the slightest hint of danger.  My apostles still do this today.

You have to stick with it even when nothing important seems to be happening.  Because something important is happening --- our relationship grows stronger and stronger.

You bind yourself more and more to Me who has already bound Himself eternally to you.
