#942 Sat. feb. 9/19, 3:50pm, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament.(dear Friend)
O God, O Holy One --- Come, come My People. Thank you for your salutation, but come to Me your dear, dear Friend.
Speak to Me not as a servant but as a friend.
I ache to be close to you and I do humbly accept your salutation, however I ache for you to call Me your dear Brother, dear Friend, dear Companion.
I want to be in every corner of your heart, not just the middle, but maybe that is a good place to start – but in all areas of your heart.
I want to be a full time resident taking up all the space that is there.
Then perhaps you might say Oh my heart, O my love, O my guide, oh my dear, dear friend.
Do you see us in that kind of a relationship? Do you want to be in that kind of a relationship with Me?
Interesting questions eh? So are you afraid to call Me by endearing names?
Does that make us too close and personal ? Does that mean that I may know all about you and perhaps that is not what you want?
That you feel awkward because God must now know all about me. So will He be pleased at all with all my faults and failings?
But if you know Me, you know that that is not what gets My Attention.
I want your heart and want to live in your heart.
I do not heed your down-side as you express, but I am eager to draw you out of those descriptions of yourself, and acclaim O My dear friend, O My dear life’s companion, O My dear heart that has so willingly offered Me safety and refuge.
That is how I call you. That is what I hope you will see yourself to Me.
DO NOT let any negatives draw you away --- almost as if you are trying to be humble about how not so good you are.
Do you want to be good. Then ask Me. Do you not think that I have Graces in heaps to fill you with goodness and more goodness.
DO NOT focus on what you think are your failings.
FOCUS on what God can and wants to do for you. Make Me your Center. Take your eyes off of you and place them firmly on Me.
Let us together proclaim --- O my dear, dear friend.
