The Grace to Accept

#818  Wed. Apr. 11/18, at home,  11pm

Just a quick hello from Me to bid you all a good day or a good night wherever this reading may find you.

Be aware of My Love for you wherever you are and do not let go of that Truthful Promise.

Do not let either daylight or night time take you away from this message – sometimes, some times of the day or night may cause you to have more time to reflect on My Love Message.  All that you have to recall and reaffirm that I only tell the Truth and it is “I LOVE you.”

Do not spend time trying to grapple with this, but ask Me for the Grace to Accept these comforting Words “I LOVE you.”

Now off you go, either to start a new day or bid your loved ones goodnight, keeping in your mind that I say the same to each of them “I LOVE you.”

Our Prime Need

#817  Tues. Apr. 10,  10:10am,  St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Oh what a beautiful day when we can be so grateful to God for this new, holy Creation.

Remember to thank the Father for giving you this new, holy day.  What will He expect of you this new holy day?  All that you do for His Honor and His Glory.

Can you imagine how your day would go if you did all that you think, do and say for His Glory and Honor?

So do we adore in the chapel for His Great Glory and  Honor?  Have we ever thought of it that way before?

Do you adore for your benefit or to express to Him ALL Honor and Glory?

Do we pray to better ourselves or to ask Him to make us better by following His Will?

Not to make us healthy better, but to make our souls healthier in serving Him as He asks.

Do we proclaim His Glory even when we do not get the answer we want?

How about, time we step aside to be closer to the Lord, we praise Him and give Him glory?  Then the prayers that follow will be more significant because we have put Him First and not ourselves and our needs.

And as we move through our day continue, before any request, to give Him praise and honor.

Really our prime need is to realize that we need Him in our life, rather than any solution to anything in our life.

So our prayer is not “Oh God I am not worthy” but rather “ O God you are so worthy of all praise and honor.”

It is a whole new focus --- not me before the Lord, but the Lord is with me.  I do not come first, only our Lord is first and foremost.  So, why use any prayer time talking about me.  Why not use my prayer time honoring Him.

To honor Him for His Singular Purpose – to Love each one of us to Over Abundance.

That could take our prayer time for the rest of our lives!!! Thanking Him for His Immense, Unconditional Love.

Do I praise and thank Him for the Love He has for everyone who comes into my life?

The greatest praise you can give Me is to ache for the Grace to do My Will.  Then you will be Loving, Forgiving, Non-judgmental, Kind, Patient

So, when you aren’t living in ‘these’ are you giving Me praise, thanks and honor?

So just saying some praise and thanks words won’t cut it.  You must live in praise and thanks by living in and out of the Love of God.

As Holy!

#816  Mon. apr. 9/18,  11:05am,  St. Theresa’s before Blessed Sacrament (Kas book)

Oh Holy One, Oh Immortal One

I come to My People today to acclaim you as Holy as precious in My Sight.  You are Holy because you have been Created in the image and likeness of My Father --- and He is Holy.

I want you to call yourself Holy --- not thru anything you have done or fail to do but because that is how the Father Created you and He does not Create unholy.

Stand, sit, kneel in My Presence knowing that you can boldly call yourself Holy  because God, The Father made you.

But the first hurdle for you, you say, is that you may not believe that God The Father made you.

Well, may I tell you that you will waste tonnes of time trying to prove that He didn’t make you, and come to no other conclusion than that He did!

You cannot outwit Wisdom so please try if wish, but don’[t waste too much time coming to know Me and My Creative abilities.

I Created you and you are Holy being Created in My Image and Likeness.  I did not do so for any other Creature.  Because with them I cannot have a personal relationship, yet with you, being Created in My Image and Likeness I can!  How satisfying and gratifying is that!

So, do not turn away in shame or disgust saying you are not, cannot be Holy because you are!

Tell Me, even though you hesitate, that you want to believe in the Truth, that you were Created Holy.

Now in some cases we may have messed up the Holy part of our being.  But you know on My Word of Honor, that you cannot destroy the Holy I Created in you.  It is so far beyond any destruction you could ever do.

So, when you say to Me,  “I am really really evil”  I will shout out to you “No My Son, No My Daughter, I have Created you Holy so there is always the mystery of coming back to Me with all you heart willing to let Me refresh the Holy I Created in you at your beginning.

I wait anxiously to hear from you.  Come to Me to have your in-bred Holiness restored to the full honor I wanted it to be in your life!

Come My Holy Ones, Come!!

Just tolerating

#815  Sun. Apr. 8/18,   Divine Mercy Sunday, St. Theresa’s 3:30pm,  before the Blessed Sacrament  (kasbook)

Let go and let My Mercy fall on those you find difficult in your life. You know who they are so let My Mercy pour Graces over you so you can let go and let My Mercy flow freely into their hearts.
We bind each other.  We cut off My Mercies by not forgiving and loving those we feel se are in conflict with .  Now, there is not open fighting or arguments, it is just those we find difficult to work alongside of, be with, tolerate.

Ouch, what a great word is tolerate!  Whom have I told you to tolerate? Ooops!  That is not what I have called you to do at any time.  So, then as you tolerate you don’t make room in your soul for My Grace to Love that person.

You absolutely stay in just tolerance feeling that is all you need to do or it is the best you can do.

Such false messages from the evil doer.  He makes ‘tolerance’ seem like a great gift on your part to this person.

How foolish when we accept this as a plan for our lives.

Listen and tell Me have I ever asked you to ‘tolerate’ someone?  Ever?  Really Ever?

Do not think you can avoid Me when I ask this question.  When you appear before Me at death, might I ask you when you ‘tolerated.’ 

In front of Love Itself your answer will be very, very weak, almost inaudible, almost unthinkable.  You will see that I will not be tolerant of that response.

You know what I have asked you, yet you persist to hang onto ‘intolerance’.  As if it is at least a small step towards loving.  But it does not come anywhere near Loving and it will hold you back most securely from seeking to really Love because you will tell yourself that this is at least a first step. 

Did I ever give you ‘first steps’ to Loving as I have asked you to Love?

I certainly have told you what Love is.  So practice these.
-    It is patient  ---  not tolerant
-    It is kind   ---   not tolerant
-    It bears no ill will   --- not tolerant

And go on and on and on.  You see, I have given you a great measure for seeing how you are doing in Loving.

Practice these.  Be delighted to practice these.  Seek to practice these.  Welcome the opportunities to practice these.

Notice that truly Loving takes you beyond yourself into self-sacrifice -– that is, you have to give up the way you want to love and put on the cloak of Jesus’ Loving Ways.

You have to die to the love you have made up, and be willing to walk in the Way Jesus has asked and wants for our eternal salvation.

So, when you find yourself being tolerant, know for certain that God has not called you to this.  You have  --- thinking it is better than hating.

But it is still not loving as Jesus calls us to, so why walk in it?  The further you go ‘just tolerating’ the farther you go from Me.  Do you understand?

Jesus DRAG me back onto the road to Love, the road of Love.

Do not let me dwell in the valley of intolerance, the valley of darkness.

Did you realize that to be intolerant, you have to practice intolerance?

So the same would go for if we wanted to Love, we have to practice Love.

Downhill emotions

#814  Sat. Apr. 7/18,   9:30am,   at home (redbook)

Come and join Me in this Kingdom of Mine on earth. 

What do you see around you?   There is joy.  There is sadness.  There is hopelessness.

Which of these do you cling to?  What I mean is which of these set the tone for your day?

Joy ---  you see Me in all, over all.
Sadness ---  you are into the world but not seeing it through My Eyes.
Hopelessness ---  you have most certainly stepped far away from Me who wants to be the true center of your world, who IS the center of the Kingdom of God on earth.

It is funny how we wander so far from Me in sadness and hopelessness yet think we are still journeying with You!

How can that be?  Of course you will have sad moments but how many times a day do you seek comfort in those sad moments?

That seems like a crazy question, but if you are more sad than joyful you must find comfort in being sad.  Wouldn’t that sound reasonable?

If you say you are walking with the Lord, tell Me how does He walk in sadness?

He would not be the rock and stronghold we need if He was in sadness a lot or even a little because you might come to Him when He is in a sad moment and then what power does He have to help you?

If you say you are walking with the Lord, then you must be walking in the Joy of the Lord or are you able to walk with the Lord in an un-joyful manner?

I am amazed that you have not realized that to walk with Me means to walk in the Joy of the Lord because you have surrendered ALL to Him for His deep, deep care.
We set up a struggle for ourselves when we will not accept His balm of Joy because we want to stay in a sad mode.  Is this depression?

Have we depressed Jesus offer of Joy in our lives?

Now, this does not define depression, but have you considered that sadness and depression go together?

Have you asked Me for the Grace to remove sadness from your heart?

And when we are depressed is there any Joy in our lives?

I want you to seriously consider that sadness depresses your relationship with Me.  It does not allow you to grow in the Goodness of the Lord.

Ask Me, each day, for the Grace of Joyfulness in the Lord.  Not to be momentarily Joyful due to some material happening, but rather to be Joy-filled because you know the Promises of the Lord and believe they are and will be fulfilled.

You can also see how sadness walks hand in hand with hopelessness.

These downhill emotions are not separate one from the other.   No, NO, NO

If you are living in the Joy of the Lord, claiming that you trust in His Will, then sure you will have moments of sadness, but they will not rule your life.

It is like if you hear a bad, sad story about someone’s health , of course it will shock you and upset you, but where do you take this news --- to your head to mull it over and live in sadness OR into your heart where Jesus will care for you at this time of upset and assure you that He is in charge of ALL of it.

We tend to believe our thoughts which are not always about Truth but what you imagine could happen and what if, what if, what if --- and build on one scenario after another into a future you have no control over, but tend to live in.

OR, you take it to Jesus, at the moment, and tell Him you want to live in the security of His Kingdom, His World which He has Created and Cares for. 

The Grace to recognize my heart hardening

#813   Apr. 5/18,  11:45pm,   at home (redbook)

I ask you to stop awhile and listen to My Lesson.

I never want you far from My Words of Kindness and Consolation.

My Words to you and your words to others.

Do not think that I am ever wasting My Time being kind and consoling you.  Far from it.

So, I want you to gather from this that for you to pour forth kindness and consolation from your heart is never a waste of time.  Really it is just another way of serving Me.

We think that if we are in a prayerful mode we will be regarded as having a good relationship with God.  But, not so, especially if these remarks about your holiness only feed your pride.

So, let your kindness go unseen, i.e. do not do it to be seen.  Be genuine with your kindness.  And usually then it won’t be seen by others because you are not making a big display about it.

Do not hesitate to console someone who has lost a loved one --- even if the loved one is an animal.

Remember, they loved the animal and now feel the love is lost or cut off.

So address their need to be shown love by another.

Do not hide your consoling words, but rather generously express them.

Kindness and consolation soften our hearts and help us to make good judgments about others and their needs.

We are only too happy to judge others, but these judgments are usually harsh.  Now, when you let kindness and consolation flow from your heart, these eliminate the harsh judgment and make it gentle and acceptable ---both to the receiver and to God!

So cherish the Gifts of these Graces and if  you feel your heart getting a bit hard, ask for these Graces.

This is yet another Gift from God --- the Grace to recognize your heart is hardening and the God sense to ask for the healing Graces of Kindness and Consolation. 

You see, My Bounty is always ready to be poured over you when you ask for the Graces needed to do My Will.

Ask away, ask any way, ask in every way.  I am here and lead you to wholesome soul life.

To renounce my will

#812  Tues. Apr. 3/18, 9:45am,  St. theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Love the still moments you find in every day.  I am still at work in your heart and the hearts of others.

It does not rain but it pours Graces forth all around you seeking a place to reside in your soul.

Look neither here nor there, yet be most content that no matter where you are I am with you.  What great assurance.

My heart needs to know that the Lord is with me.  Thank you Lord for invading my heart with Your Love.  May it never stop.  Yet come to think of it, it will not stop, yet I, me can stop it and quench it so it does not pervade my heart.

So when I ask for His Love in my heart am I prepared to give it a good home?  Or do I leave it up to Jesus to do all the right things while I go my merry way.  What is my responsibility for bringing Jesus to the World?

Do I tell Him I want Him in my heart, yet do not plan to agree or act on His Plans for my day?

Then really we have not invited Him with all sincerity into our heart.  We want to follow our plans so our invitation is not really sincere is it?

Am I willing to throw the all of me at the Lord’s Feet and renounce any of my will over this day?

Lord Jesus help me do this.
