THE GOOD -- #1248

 #1248    Sun. Dec. 27/20,   11:45am.         At Mo’s

Pray to stay strong in your faith.  Be strong first and foremost in your heart/soul.  Do not stray far at all from My Teachings and My Preachings.

Our wandering at times may not seem to be far, or make much of a difference in your life.

But please heed My Words.  Any wandering from Me can prove harmful. 

We always think – well I am a good person.  

But really is that all you want to be – just a good person?

Now, this sounds like a cruel question.

Well God, don’t you want me to be good?

Did I say I did not want you to be good?

I asked if you are satisfied, content to just be a good person?

You can be a good person and not know Me one iota!

I want you to know Me, let Me live in you, let Me fill you with all sorts of Guidance and Love.

That is only if you want to be more than good.  

I want you to be Mine – an active person in My Heavenly Kingdom.

So being good, and knowing and allowing Me to invade your very being are quite far apart.

Did you ever realize that?

Well it is True.

It takes a lot of Graces from Me to let go of the perceived ‘good you’ and allow Me to invade you and make you more than good.

Some of us struggle with this because we believe good looks good on us.

So..... looks good to whom ---- to you?, to others?, to Me?

Whose opinion matters?  

Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God.

How do you do that if you are just satisfied with being good?

If you are satisfied just to be good, guess what ---- your heart is not aching to serve Me with the All of you.

What a great lesson to take into the New Year!

To avoid trying to be good, and rather ache to serve Me.

One comes from you and your will and your efforts.

The other comes from you forgoing your will to serve only My Will.

Do you see the difference?

One we try to be in control, the other we are content to relinquish ALL control.

Ooooh, now there is the GOOD to strive for.  

You will never be unhappy seeking this GOOD.
