Trash or Give

(Trash or Give)
Precious People, gather around.  Give Me all that you have – things you love, things you don’t love, things you really don’t love.

Why do I ask for all of this?  Because I want you to see what I mean by the ALL of you --- to give the ALL of yourself to Me.

I don’t mind the good or the bad of you.  I want the ALL of you.  Are you willing to share all of that with Me, or will you hold back for fear that I will find out something new and bad about you.

I know about you.  I know you.  So there are no surprises.

The surprise is that I want you to inventory your self and check to see the ALL of you that I am asking you to give.  Some parts you do not even think are part of you.

Surprise!

So ask Me then to point out to you all the parts I want you to hand over to Me.

Instead of you having to go there on your own, let Me help you. 

Ooops, there is something you may have overlooked.  Hand it over to Me.

Can you imagine how much of you you do not know??  How much good and bad about you plays an influence in your life. 

That is why you need Me to unstock your storage room. 

You may miss some stuff, even some good stuff that I want you to give Me.

It is stripping away the years of ‘this’ and ‘that’ to get to the soul that I Created.
Let Me, ask Me each day to come into your heart and guide you as to what you need to hand to Me.  Not to trash it, but to hand it to Me. 

Trashing it is a decision you make.
Giving it to Me is a service to Me in response to My Request.

The action of giving it to Me is a Holy Action, meaning that you want Me to have the ALL of you. 

Let GOD BE GOD

(Let GOD BE GOD)
I come to nourish and placate My People.  How many of you feel I have stepped out of your life and am busy doing something else?

You must believe that this can happen because so often you will say “I don’t want to bother God with my small problem, concern.  He has enough to do.”

So, right away you see, you have made a god that is limited!   You believe or seem to believe in a god who is limited, and cannot do it ALL all at once.

What a belief!  How did you come upon such a belief? 

I mean what brought you to think that I can’t deal with each person’s problem, no problem at all?

Do you see what I mean?  We belittle God not even realizing that is what we are doing. We have put Him in human form where His Power is limited by time and space. 

Let God BE God.  Not the god of your making because He then cannot BE God.

Tell Him you want Him to BE the God of ALL in your life, as well as the God of ALL in each person’s life, now and throughout Eternity.

So, when you restrict God’s Grandeur and Power you will fail to recognize it when it is all around you. 

You will not see the Grandeur of each new spider’s web.

Yes, let’s go there.  We see a spider’s web once and maybe are impressed, but when we see them every day we seem to lose our appreciation of God’s Grandeur at work in the spider and the spider web.

We take God for granted.

We don’t want to impose perhaps because we do not want others to impose their pain and need on us.  Hmmm? 

Is this where our limitation of God comes from?  Because we feel we can’t handle all the mess in the World, so how in heavens name could He handle it.

It is beyond our comprehension.  Thus and therefore we let Him off the hook of caring for us constantly because we think we are doing Him a favor.

Really??  Really, it is the other way around.  He is doing us such a great Kindness that we would not, cannot even grasp the fullness of it.

Ask our dear Lord to Grace us with the sense of how Mighty and Powerful and All Loving He is. 

So, the next time you have a problem, BRING IT TO ME.  Otherwise you are not acknowledging God as God. 

Scary, isn’t it, that we can think that we are paying homage and praise to Him when we really aren’t.

If we do not trust that He can handle ALL THINGS altogether, then we do not trust in God!!
