Without Excuses

Dawn is endeavoring to break.  Yet ‘dawn’ is just a word for what is happening in Creation.

Creation cannot invent itself.  It has always followed My Creation of it --- “there was day, there was night....”

Isn’t it intriguing how it has always followed My Creation process.

The dawn doesn’t decide not to happen, neither does the night.  They are all things we take for granted.

Have you thanked the Creator for Creating this day?

We just presume it happens.  Do we forget that God put order into Creation?  It was not haphazard but all in good order.

So, He gave man rule over His Creation and have we maintained the good order of Creation.  Hmmm

So, look at yourself.  You were Created by Me, yet have you stayed faithful to whom I Created?

We sometimes jump back and say “Well, Lord, others have made me who I am.”

And this proves My Point!  My Creations have inflicted harm on My Creations.  Now, that can be self-inflicted or come from some outside influence.

But, no matter what, man/woman My ‘top of the line’ Creations have not stayed faithful to My Plan for My People.

Look around you.  Without beating yourself up --- have you inflicted wounds on your own soul, on another’s soul?

Did you plan to do this or was it a mistake on your part?  How can you make amends?  Do you want to make amends, or do you excuse yourself pointing to how you were brought up.

Are we afraid to admit that we were wrong?

It is very hard to admit that we are/were wrong.

So, right now bring it to Me --- how you think you may have inflicted pain on others.  Let Me show you that you can own up to it.  You can ask for forgiveness.

It takes more courage to own our mistakes than it does to do them.

We have always wanted to prove that we are/were right in what we said or did.

But, if it has driven a wedge between you and the other, who will make the first step to mend it?

With My Grace you can.  Now, the other may not take you seriously, yet if you do it with God in the lead, without excuses, you will have made amends.

Look around.   Everyone wants to hear an apology!

They may still blame you, or tell you that you shouldn’t have done it and that is God’s Truth coming from the hurt one.

But, with God, you can take that and turn it to good.  It will turn to good because that is what God Creates --- Goodness.

You cannot do it on your own.  Rest assured, any attempt at reconciliation cannot take place without God.

You see, it is not possible because God is the Only One who can restore Order out of Chaos.  If He is not the Center of it, it will not happen because we are so limited by our human nature.

So, bring our Precious God into each situation that you may feel has become disordered and give it ALL to Him.

Not telling Him what your plan is, but freeing Him to use His Good and Right and Healing Plan to bring True Healing. 

The Grace of Joyful Obedience

#804  Wed Mar. 14/18   7:15 am,   at home
(The Grace of Joyful Obedience)

Did I not hold you secure?  Was I not faithful to My Promises --- I am with you ALWAYS?

Come into this new holy day looking forward to a new holy day in My Presence.

Do not abide in the past.  BE with Me in the present and allow Me – give Me permission  to lead you into the future.

Right now, scrap all your plans for this new holy day.  You did not call it into being, thus you are not its controller.

Why do we feel we need a plan for each day?  Think about it.  Why do we plan our day?  Do we feel without our plan it will not be a full day and our plans will not get completed?

We want control right?  We think that to keep us sane we need a plan.  But what about if your plans do not get completed?  Do you feel a failure?  Do you get upset with yourself?  Does this not drain the soul of its leadership role?

So, right this moment, give ALL of you to Me. 
---  your heart and soul
---  your plans and wishes
---  your every thought turn over to Me.

Are you daring enough, as if you were blind, to let Me lead you through this day?

You will have more time to be silent and still
You will have more time to admire nature --- My Creation.
You will have more time to hear nature.
You will have more time to listen patiently to your loved ones.

Tell Me that sometimes you have your plans and then get a call and you are less attentive to the caller than you are to your plans.

Yet, if you see My Hand on this call you would never say “Oh this is the wrong time”, would you?
You would not tell Me that you don’t want to hear from Me, be led by Me, yet that is what happens!

If you have surrendered your day to Me, then when something jumps in that is not part of your daily routine, do you see it as Me or a disturbance to your regular routine.

Oooh, that hits a tender spot, doesn’t it? 

NO MATTER what your regular routine is, it can no longer be your regular routine if you have sincerely surrendered your day to Me.

So, tell Me right now that whatever disrupts your routine, you will recognize comes from Me and thus is more important than your daily routine.

Give Me every second of your day.  Sacrifice ownership of every second of your day --- not if you make it a painful sacrifice, then it is not true sacrifice!

Isn’t it funny that you surrender to Me, yet still want to get to morning Mass, do groceries, banking etc.

You can see can’t you that these are still your plans for your day which you obviously have not surrendered to Me!

Even the good things that you plan to do, that are holy in nature, are still your plans and not Mine!

How could anything holy not be Your Plans for me Lord?

I tell you most solemnly that anything that I put into your day, that may seem like a distraction, an upheaval, has the Greater Holiness.

So, you are planning on going to Mass and someone calls.  Do you rush them through the conversation so you can get to Mass?  And you know the answer is yes.

So, you see, you have set up your day and have presumed this is how you are going to serve the Lord.  So, so interesting eh?  You did not see this, this way before, but now you do.

I want you so tuned into My Role in your life, not you putting Me into your life.

See the difference?

So, ask Me for the Grace to be released from your plans of holiness and eager to carry out My Plans of holiness for you.

Joyful obedience to My Will is so essential.

Seek, ache for the Grace of Joyful Obedience to My Will.  Let Me lead you through the day, each moment of your day, --- not just a few moments of your day when you feel it is free time to let Me in and let Me lead you.

I want every second of your day so you can fulfill My Will in a fuller way.

So there is no such thing as a disruption in your regular routine, if your regular routine is to surrender each and every moment of each and every day to Me.

At the end of the day you will be so grateful for your day because you fulfilled My Will for you.  Not your will for you, but My Will for you.

Oh, this is such an ongoing adventure.  Please throw yourself into it with all willingness to serve only Me. 

To BE in the Word of God

#803  Sunday, Mar.11/18,  7:30am,  at home

Come to the Word of God.  Abide in the Word of God.  Settle in the Word of God.  Do not rush to take it in but rush to be in the Word of God.

This is a calling to come aside and abide in My Word.  Unless you do, you do not know Me.  You may say that you have a personal relationship with Me, but unless you crave to abide in My Words our relationship is just based on feelings --- your feelings. 

Maybe even in your pride that likes to say “I have a personal relationship with God.”

Do not debate My View on this.  See how you will want to argue with Me about what I have just said?

You are most willing to waste your time defending yourself to Me, instead of willingly abiding in My Words more and more.

There, is true friendship with Me, not you arguing with Me.
I need no explanation.  I know ALL.  So do not try to bluster yourself into forming a relationship with Me.

Come, Come, Come and abide in My Word.  Settle into this journey that will only enhance your faith in Me and My Words to the World.
