Listen with your heart. Avoid the jumble of thoughts in your head and listen with your heart.
What decision did you make today that came from your heart?
Were they love decisions? Did you do them for love of Me or to better enhance you?
Be sure to check with your heart. Make sure you ask Me to shelter your heart in My Sacred Heart and to instruct it when needed.
Do not fumble around for words. Just listen to what I want you to write.
Is it time to say something or time to be silent? Which way does your head tell you?
However you have learnt that your head does not instruct this book. Your heart wants to be obedient and thus you have another valuable lesson.
Writing this book of Mine without inserting any of you, takes you from thinking with your head to responding to My Call from your heart.
Do not make any attempt and try to explain away anything that I am asking you to write.
These are My Words and they will stand the test of time and touch hearts.
So for some further instruction.
Do not let your pen go astray. Write what I say and change nothing.
Look to your heart. What does it ache to know?
To be more obedient, to be more trusting?
Are you aware of Me when I offer opportunities to trust beyond your fears.
I will generously give you many opportunities to Trust beyond your fears if this is what your heart aches for.
Let Me surprise you and let it be a game – not a test – but a game to see if you can detect the moments I will present to you that call for your trust.
They may be small or large situations. Don’t look for them, yet be aware when you come across one.
If you Trust Me then you will love more.
It is only natural.
Fear does not allow for love to grow.
Fear stifles love and keeps it very self-focused.
So how much can you love yourself? You can’t because even when you think fear is protecting you, thus taking care of you, it isn’t.
Fear blinds you, hampers you, brings you to you and not to Me.
So Trust and Fear often clash – which do you think has the greatest force behind it?
Trust of course has My backing. Fear has your backing. Which should be stronger? Yet which rules your life?
Why do we trust that we know better than God?
It is a puzzle isn’t it. We give honor and glory to Me by mouth yet our actions indicate that our words are built on shaky ground.
They sound great to our ears and the ears of others.
They should, like we believe we are true followers of Christ. But that is not so.
You say you believe yet fearfully run away to trust in you when circumstances that are confounding appear.
Let down the barriers of fear. Let Me come into your heart and invite your heart to come into Mine.
Trust beyond fear. Trust that fear only binds you. Start with that in your mind.
Thrust fear in the path of Trust. Start with small things. Really small things.
Trust that the Sun will come up tomorrow.
Trust that rain will fall down.
Trust that all snowflakes are different.
These may sound silly and trite but you have to build up your Trust Treasury.
Trust that the clothes you hang on a hanger will hang there.
You can make them silly and simple. I don’t mind.
But I want you to start with trusting in something.
Recognize that you already trust that a paper clothes hanger will not hold your clothes.
Trust that you did not paint the blue sky.
Trust that ice can be slippery to walk on.
You say you know all these things, yet at some point you had to trust that they were true (or false) as the case may be.
Do you trust that I died on The Cross to save you?
But you weren’t there, so how do you know I died on the Cross for you -- because I have told you, through the apostles, My life journey on earth.
Were you part of the 5,000 who sat and listened to My Sermon on the Mount? Yet you trust that it is true – or do you?
Aaah there is the crux of the quandary.
Do you trust My Words or not? “I am with you always” -- do you Trust that I am? Then why fear?
Think of all the simple phrases I have said in the Bible – all for your benefit – do you believe them? Or just some? And what ones do you find really hard to Trust?
List them. Sit with them. Look at them with Me by your side. Ask Me to explain more if that is what you feel you need.
I know what I have said and it is all to benefit your soul. So ask Me. Seek My Counsel on this or that phrase I have spoken.
I want you to Trust that what I have said is all True.
So read My Words. Bring them to Me, not to debate, but to Trust that I will enlighten your heart as to their meaning in your life.
Pick up your bible right now and just open it anywhere in the New Testament and listen to My Words. They are Sacred. They are central to your well-being.
They are rich and they enrich.
They slow the heart from racing ahead of itself.
They draw you into My World of Eternity that is dimensionless.
They encourage, caution, instruct, reveal.
They invite, they reach out, they answer, they ask.
Read some of My Words then sit and tell Me “Jesus I trust the Words You have spoken. Jesus I want to trust the Words You have spoken. Help me please.”
Now Trust that as you read My Words your heart will grow ever richer in our relationship.
