alone time

#934   Monday, Jan. 14/19,    11:30pm    at home

Quiet your soul.  Let it sleep well without distraction or disturbance.

Leave ALL in My Capable Hands.  I want to serve your every need.

Do not be bothered by anything.  Let all fall away so that it is only just you and Me.

How hard to do this because we feel pulled in all sorts of directions.

But no matter, endeavor to take time each day to put all else aside and tell Me you want to be alone with Me.

I will grant you this ‘alone’ time if I feel it will nourish your soul.  That does not sound like a nice response, but you may not be ready for the ‘alone’ moments you ask for.  Yet keep asking.  I will know the sincerity of your heart and will answer.

Do not become discouraged if it does not seem to happen.  Allow My Will to reign and to answer your requests as I see fit.

Where is 'here'?

#933   Mon. Jan. 14/19,     8am,    at home

Here I am Lord.   Where is ‘here’ for you today?

Are you in the midst of planning your day?
Are you in the midst of your sorrow?
Are you in the midst of questioning your life?
Are you in the midst of contentment? 
Are you in the midst of inviting Me to live more fully in your soul?

Do any of these questions apply to you?   Tell Me if they do and bring them to Me for a sound Loving answer.

You know that even wanting to be closer and closer to Me can make you discontent?   Did you know that?

Because it depends on how you are approaching this – from your standpoint, or from Mine?

Sometimes we will get cross with ourselves because we have not done this or that which we felt would bring us closer to Christ. 

Yet, I tell you, the only thing you have to ‘do’ is ask Me “Jesus come closer and closer to Me this day.”

It really isn’t even a question.  It is a heart wanting more of the Fullness of Jesus in it.  Right?

Is that what you yearn for?   Then do not go off and plan how you will do this.

Rather in all great humility come to Me and tell Me this is an ache on your heart and that you now realize that you need My “Doing” to make it complete.

We only get frustrated when we rely on our own plans to make us holier!!  Is that a surprise to you?

Yet, if we make every effort to rely on God to do this for us in our lives, we will never be frustrated unless we fall back into our selfish selves wanting more of God faster than He is willing to provide it.

Mind you, He will provide the ALL of Himself, yet again we aren’t ready for the ALL, so He is most gentle working in our souls to build them into a strong fortress that will house Him – the ALL of Him.

So, surrender the ALL of you to Me this day, but most importantly start with your soul.  Surrender your God-given soul to Me today and let the miracle of transformation continue deeper and deeper. 

Settled or Anxious

#932   Sun.  Jan. 13/19,   7:15am,    at home

Quiet, quiet your soul.  How do you do that you ask?

Well, you invite Me in.  While things are whirling around inside your brain you may have forgotten to invite Me, first into your soul.

Come in Lord Jesus, Come.

Do you want to feel settled or anxious?  One has to do with what is occupying your mind, the other with what is occupying your soul.

a Love foundation

#931   Fri. Jan. 11/19,   11am,  St. Theresa’s  before the Blessed Sacrament

Come My People and listen to My Gentle Words to you.  I do not come to chastise or justify but I come of Love, for Love.  I am Love and want you healed by My Love.

You cannot seek a better healer --- one who wants you healed so you can live the life you were Created to live.
We think we come about just by chance?  O No, not at all.

You did not think you came to be-ing on your own and now it is up to you to make the most of your life.

What isolation, do you feel abandoned by these thoughts?   I would.

No, you were Created by the Father to populate His World and fulfill His Plan for the World.

Since you did not Create you, how then can you think that you know what needs doing?

You must realize that if you are here on earth, you have a worthwhile purpose. 

It is when we feel that we are in charge that chaos comes. 

Yes, CHAOS.  Because we take on being the one in charge and when each person takes that on, cannot you see chaos arising?

Turn to Me.  Eliminate the need to produce anything that comes from your thoughts and ask Me to direct you. 

There is a smoother terrain to conquer when you have Me guide you. 

You have to conquer nothing but do all with Love.

So, if you do all with Love, with Me, there is no failure, no self-glory accomplishment, no self-satisfaction sought.

When your foundation is Love, whatever you have built will stand the test of time.

Invade my soul

#930   Thurs, Jan. 11/19    7am,   at home

I wanted My People freed.  Free from strife. And a lot of strife we cause ourselves.  Do you realize that?

So how do you reduce strife? You give it ALL over to Me.  Any plans, any thoughts.  You vacate the rumblings of your mind and seek the peaceful sanctuary of your soul.

You do this by giving the ALL of you to Me, but most importantly your soul.  This is not a mind game because you can do nothing without Me. 

And to have Me working in your life you need to retreat to your center….your soul, where, if you ask Me I will gladly abide.

You know, and I repeat, I am with you always, but unless you invite Me often to reside in your soul you are not with Me always.

So, there is no big effort in going from your mind to operating out of your soul..

It is a safer place because it is not trying to satisfy any pride on your part.

Wherever you go then, tell Me, Jesus, You are leading Me.  Guard my thoughts, guard my tongue, allow me to practice humility, smother my pride, erase my envy and jealousy.

I want You to lead me, Jesus.  If, by Your Graces I welcome You in, my day will be so much more complete and so will my sins be much less.

Come, Lord Jesus, invade my soul.  I give You permission to invade my soul. 

Powerless words

#929    Wed. Jan. 9/19,   8:30 am,     at home

Hasten to write.  In case anyone has forgotten  --  I LOVE you.

This is a dark day outside, yet your soul should be a-light with the fact that “Jesus Loves me.” 

Never let a day go by that you do not affirm that to your soul. 

Don’t jump in with “but I don’t know why because I have not been faithful.”

Let Me tell you that that comment, coming from you does not have any power unless you choose to believe it more that you choose to believe Me …“Jesus Loves me.”

Let My Words to you have more power in your life because they come from the Infinite One. 

Do not give power to your comments, but seek out My Loving Words.

Remember your words are powerless really.  They cannot change the World, yet they can keep you tethered to believing that you know all about you and thus have the final word.

Tell Me what you know about yourself.  You will start to laugh when I ask in-depth questions.

No matter how smart you are you do NOT have ALL the answers.

So why would you not want to rely on the One who has ALL the answers?

Just start by re-affirming in your soul daily “Jesus Loves me.”  And see how the World will open up around you filled with more Love than you could ever imagine.

“Jesus Loves me, Jesus Loves me, Jesus Loves me.”  It applies to every and all situations.

Go in Peace carrying My Love with you always.

Whose will

#928   Mon. Jan. 7/19,    10am.     St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Step aside from your wishes and ask Me for the Grace to let My Wishes abound in your family’s life.

You may want ‘this or that’ to happen to make things better, but better by whose definition? 

Does, will your sense of better be better for all the World or are you only applying it to you and yours?

Do not get disappointed when I ask such questions.  I just want you to re-think all that you have heard from Me so far. 

Is it your will or My Will that rules the World?

Can you imagine the Power you need to rule the World and bring it to the best result ever for ALL people?

Now that would be a challenge.  So why not, instead of wanting your will for your world, will you not support Me with love and trust to do the best as I know needs to be done for your World.
