Never before, never again

(never before, never again)
Quietly the day begins.  Yet, My Force is already hard at work.  You do not have to hear Me to know that My Hand is on ALL and over ALL.

Each day, or many days, may start out the same or seem to start out the same, but each day is unique and very different.

No, it is not just another ho-hum day.  So instead of looking to see what makes it new, acknowledge to Me that you want to announce to your heart how grateful you are for this new holy day. 

It is amazing how we forget to realize that this day is a new holy day --- never here before never to come again.  How very unique. 

Even the moon comes and goes in its waxing and waning, but this day is even more unique.

We may think that we see it as another day coming and going like the moon, but it is absolutely a new, new day.

So that is why you are not to get caught in the past day or days, or looking forward to or apprehensive about the coming days.

As I have said they each have their own troubles.

Yet if you look upon each day as original and proclaim to your soul that My Hand is over every second of it, your fear and apprehension will be much less.

Ask yourself not what if this happens or that happens.
Ask yourself instead what if God’s Hands were not all over the past and the future and more importantly, over each minute you live in this new holy day.

When you acknowledge that His Hand is on this and the next moment in time, you have a greater opportunity to live fully in this moment and the next and the next.

I Create each day a-new.  You have not been in this day before. 

Ask Me to lead you through this day so we can be together through every moment.

What a Grace!  To live only in the moment with Me leading your willing heart.

Affirmed

Sit quietly with the Lord.  Listen to what He has to say:   “Jesus Loves you.”

You do not have to worry if He says that to another.  Just soak in that He is saying it to you. 

Do not turn away in shame, but turn to Me delighted that I want to share this Good News with you.

So often we say ‘that the other person is more deserving Lord.’ 

Let Me say more than often “I Love you.” --- the person reading this, each and every person in the World receives the same Loving message because “I Love you.”

You have not been picked out to stand out in the crowd.  You are being affirmed by Me that “I Love you.”

Do not let this precious message fall to the side.  Catch hold of it  and take it right to your soul that feeds on, gets its strength from the Love of the Lord.

So many of us think that we are not worthy. 
So how many times do I repeat “You are worthy.”

Can you imagine how poorly we live as human beings when our heart does not feel and know the Love of the Lord?

Sure, you can deny it.  Many do.  But only to the detriment of living a fully human life.

It has nothing to do with power and might, but everything to do with living the fullness of your humanity which is firmly tied to the wellness of your soul.

If your soul is well and healthy and feeding off the Love of the Lord, you will notice that it does not do wrong.

So, when you see that you are doing good within and without of yourself, you can determine that your soul is thriving on My Love.

Now, due to our free will, we can shove God’s Love aside and determine to live strictly on our free will which by the way needs good guidelines to run healthy and well. 

Great Guideline

(great guideline
Stop for a moment and assess your day so far.  Has it all been done in My Presence?

Was there anything you would hide from Me if I came to inspect your day so far?

It is such a great guideline.  If we can see Jesus walking with me will I step aside and perhaps not say the mean thing, the nasty word, the improper word?

It is true isn’t it that if you saw Jesus standing beside you, you would be a better, more loving person.

Well, I give you permission to see Me standing, kneeling, walking, sitting beside you if that is what helps you to avoid the occasion of sin.

Satisfy

#915  Sat. Dec. 1/18,   3:45 pm,  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament (satisfy)

How Good is our God!   Do not doubt this for a moment.  Let Me come in and then you will see how Great I am.

Really, why do we hesitate to invite God in to work His Wonder in us?

It is time, you do have to invite Me in.  I can knock and knock repeatedly, but if you do not answer, I cannot enter.

It is such a pity when we get full of ‘this and that’ and allow the ‘this and that’ to rule your world. 

You will notice that when your mind wanders off into self-pity or judgment that I am still knocking, but you certainly are too busy to let Me in.

Isn’t it true, that when you are in self mode you are not open to welcoming Me.  You really aren’t even open to welcoming the World – only if it will change to how you think it should be.

Scrap judgment and selfish thoughts that may feed your self hurt, your pride.

Why do we let ourselves get trapped in such thought processes that just keep going round and round in an endless circle, never satisfying the self!

Did you know that?

That you cannot satisfy your own wishes, only if they run according to My Will, then for sure they are not your own wishes, but rather My Direction for your life.

Do not spend time feeling sorry for yourself – such a pitiful, time absorbing, destructive temperament to be in.

At that time you most certainly are not with Me.

So hasten, each time you go and let self-pity in, that you cannot invite Me in at the same time.

So, yes, let your vision be of Me knocking and the devil knocking.  Which of us do you invite in to dwell safe and secure in you?

With Me, you are safe and secure.  With the devil you will never achieve safety and security because he will always have you scrambling to satisfy your finite self which can never be satisfied --- only in Me.

Yes, only in Me will you be satisfied.  Right now, think about things that upset you.  Are they in the past, are they happening presently, or to be in the future.
What wealth of peace and contentment do they bring your soul?

Tell Me, please tell Me, have I missed something that you desperately need to live your life to the fullest.

What will satisfy you?  If it all centers around satisfying you then you will never be satisfied.

But, if it is an ache of your heart to be satisfied, then turn to Me. 

I am the Only One who can satisfy your every need, not your wants, but your every need.

Five Seconds

(5 seconds)
Come one, Come all.  Gather around My Most Sacred Heart.  There is room for all.

Do not give Me any excuse that you can’t run to and adore Me for at least a second.

I may then ask you to tell Me what you have done so far today for every second.

And you know it would be impossible to account for each second.

But, wouldn’t it be great to be able to say “I did adore You, Lord, for several seconds so far today.”

Now, that may sound like I am making fun of you ---- far, far, from it.

I am trying to show you the seconds in your day that you have to adore Me!

I want you to unleash the seconds in your day.  Why not name that the first 5 seconds and the last 5 seconds or every hour, you will spend adoring Me. 

If you wish for the Grace to do it, I will give it.

We lose, or waste, so many minutes in our day when we could be spending these precious moments with You. 

Do you see how this simple effort of 5 seconds at first and last of each hour you will give to Me?
Do you see that it is a good first step to spending any time at all with Me?

You may feel that 5 seconds is too tiny to offer to the Lord.  Well you have My Permission to increase the time you want to allot in each hour to Me. 

Toss it

(Toss it)

Throw all your cares on Me.  I ask it nicely, but if you want Me to, I will order you to toss ALL your cares on Me.

Perhaps, when we first start out in our relationship, you may answer better to an order!

However, as our relationship grows, you know that when I say throw ALL your cares on Me, it is not an order bur MY Gentleness reaching out to and into your pain so you can toss ALL things on Me.

Once we realize the benefit of a close personal relationship with Jesus, we will realize that I am only looking out for what is best for you.

So what to some may seem like an order, you now know it is a warm invitation to leave ALL your cares and pain with Me.
