Practice following Me

#1095   Sat. Feb. 1/20   3:55pm   St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

Let My Light show forth through you.

“How do I do that Lord?”

Only by Loving.  Do not let them see your love but My Love that comes without comments, criticism, pointing fingers, cruel thoughts.

“But what if I don’t love them Lord?”

Oh, the answer is simple --  then you do not follow Me.

Now that seems harsh, but it is True and that is what you want and need to hear.

I do not tell you to love them on your own.  I tell you to Love them by following Me.

If you truly practice following Me, ALL the barriers you have put up will be torn down.

Tell Me you wish to follow Me if that is your willful choice.

Then let Me enter and teach you how to truly Love as I have requested.

I never asked you to love with human love.  I offered you this opportunity to Love as I do when I said, “Come, follow Me.”

A very simple request packed with an Abundance of Me.  Are you really willing to Come, follow Me?

I hope you are.  I hope you will. 

Speak Lord

#1094  Fri. Jan 31/20 7:50am,  at home

Stop all you are doing and come sit with Me awhile.

So stopping to be with Me slows down your heart and should also slow down your racing mind.

Now, you are more ready to hear My Words.

Only Words of Love, Tender Love, Enduring Love.

For once, just listen to My Words of Love.

I do not mean that in a mean sense.  But just slow it down and do not put ‘you’ into the conversation. 

Now I know for most of us that is hard to do.  Even if you just want to rattle off thank yous.  Your thanks to Me is to say nothing.  That is hard isn’t it?

Tell Me that you want your heart open only to hear My Words to you, not your words to Me

It will require you to BE still.  Even if for only a moment or two.  We have to start somewhere.

“Speak Lord, your servant is listening.”

If I do not listen, I will not hear His Words of Encouragement and Support.  I will just be busy telling Him my story which He knows already.

He wants me STILL.  And for some of us, that is asking a lot.

So make an effort each day to say to Me: “Speak Lord your servant is listening.”

A great prayer that I will know you mean that you need to hear My Words to you, for you to move on through your day.

Do not listen for a Voice!  No, No, No.

Your simple prayer “Speak Lord, your servant is listening” opens the path by which I can direct you ever, ever so quietly.

And for sure do believe that I will answer.

Even if you just start listening for 30 seconds.  You can easily build on that.

But START, I beg of you.   “Speak Lord, your servant is listening.”

Doesn’t that show an eager heart, an open heart ready to be guided by My Wisdom, My Words, My Love.

Go in Peace.  Not to chatter but to listen.

I Love you.  Jesus Loves me. 

shame

#1093  Tues. Jan 28/20   7am     at home

There is no shame in being ashamed of your actions.

Yet I tell you, do not stay in shame.

You are not free to serve Me when you are in shame.

God's Solution

#1092   Sunday, Jan, 26/20   7:45 am     at home

Put aside ALL concerns and follow Me.  When you are dwelling on your concerns you are not following Me.

It is plain and simple.  When you are caught up thinking about your concerns, you certainly are not thinking about Me.

The World likes to sneak in and offer you possible solutions, but first you have to think of the solutions, then decide which solution is best and when you should tackle it.

So, you see how concerns build more concerns.

Give it ALL to Me --- right now.  And then drop it. Give it no more thought UNLESS you are bringing it to Me again to take care of. 

I know it is going to jump back into your head again.  That is natural.

But you are to say “That is not my concern.  It is the Lord’s concern.”

It is simple because then you will tend to think more of Me and handing it back to Me rather than trying to solve it yourself.

When you are trying to solve it yourself, you rarely reference Me.

Yet when you give it to Me, and give it to Me time and again if need be, you are going to the One who cares for concerns.

And thus spending more time in My Presence!

I want your heart.  Give it to Me.  Rest assured it is healthier in My Sacred Heart than anywhere else.

Obedience is not easy.

#1091  Sat. Jan. 25/20, 4pm St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

See all else fade away when you spend time with Me.  Do not even think to count what has faded away, just be most grateful for My Presence in your life.

You cannot control My Wishes for you.  You can just receive them most graciously and obediently.

You see, obedience is not easy.  It is hard because to be obedient we must put ourselves and our plans aside and listen to what God wants of me.

Thank Him that He wants you to serve Him. 
Thank Him that He will most generously point out where you can best serve Him.

Accept your role with great gratitude, not look for thanks or recognition.  That – those are not what you are serving Me for – to be thanked and recognized by others.

Bury your heart in My Most Sacred Heart so it will not be drawn away by the call of this World.

Let your precious soul seek only Me and My Graces.  When you do this then the World will be a better place because you have put your needs and wants aside in order to follow My Needs and Wants for the World.

The less you serve your earthly needs and ambitions the more you will be able to fulfill Mine.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for aching to serve Me rather than yourself.

Thank You Lord for Loving me.

#1090  Fri.  Jan. 24/210   12:29 am.   At home

Did I wake you?   Have I wakened any of you when I tell you that I Love you?

Has it stirred your soul?  Have you asked yourself why does God Love me?

Is that the question to ask?  And should you even ask that question?

If someone says they love you, do you ask them why or do you say thank-you.

So, just say thank you when you hear these Words from My Heart to yours.  I Love you.

Thank you Lord.  Thank you Lord for Loving me.

No wasted waiting

#1089  Wed. Jan. 22/20,  10:20am,  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

How blessed you are to be waiting in My Presence. Yes, I am always present to you, but what a gift when you are waiting – in My Presence.

You see you are not just waiting.

How tiresome and weary it can be to just have to wait.  But to wait in My Presence means each moment you wait is a glorious moment.  It is not just the clock ticking away time in your life.

NO, NO, NO.

It is you being blessed with the opportunity to be fully aware that you are waiting yes, but in My Presence.

Do you not think that this elevates your waiting?

Watching the clock go by so slowly or in grateful thanks that you can spend focused time on Me as you wait.

It becomes a prayer time, an opportunity to sit still, or to list off the people you want to love more, or to tell Me what is really bothering you.

A grateful time that you can step aside from busy–ness and spend Time with Me

Not impatient time, but patient, soothing Time that will not be wasted if spent in My Presence.

Just as I am.

#1088   Mon. Jan. 20/20,   12:40pm.   St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

I visit with you again.  Really, I never leave, so I am a constant visitor and thus am with you always.

Come meet Me.  Come and step aside for a fraction of Time and BE with Me.

Do not let your heart be troubled. 
Do not let the evil one tell you that you have been away far too long so I will never take you back

He is so evil.  He wants you to scramble away from Me before you have a chance to see how Good I am.

He knows the more often you stay with Me, come to Me, visit with Me the less hold he has on your soul.

Do not fall into the trap of anyone telling you that you are not Loved, that you are unloveable.

I LOVE you!  Doesn’t that count?  With your soul it should certainly count.  It has been aching for a long time to hear these Words of Love from Me to you.

You can take hold of these Words because they are most certainly meant for you.  Each one of you.

Many of us deflect these Words of Mine because they can’t figure how I could Love so many throughout all of history the same ---- Unconditionally.

We figure we must be the one that He finally says He can’t Love.

FALSE!!  And FALSE again!! 

Do not try to figure Me out, but rather be most content to accept My Words as Truth.

I LOVE you.  I, Jesus, Love you.

Your ignorance of these Words cannot and does not diminish their great Strength and Power.

Were you looking for someone to Love you just as you are?

Here I am.  I Love you just as you are!   How does that sound?

Jesus Loves me ‘just as I am!’
