Harden not your heart!   

If you think you are serving Me and doing My Will be very sure that first and foremost you “harden not your heart.”

If you are boldly proclaiming Me and yet you do not have Love in your heart for those to whom you are bringing the message, then your message is worthless.  The message has to reflect My Love, as well as, the messenger has to reflect My Love.

Harden not your heart.

How can My Love ring true in the message if you are not carrying it delicately in your heart?

Anyone can proclaim a Truth of Mine, yet if their heart is filled with bitterness, anger, restitution, how do you think the message, My Message will be received?  

You have to die to your self-interest before you can fully proclaim the Truth of the Gospel.

Usually we will want to point to God’s Law, for an argument defense, yet have not first and foremost made sure we are loving and proclaiming His Law with His Love.

Remember, you can be the wisest in the World but without God’s Love in your heart you are hollow, like a clanging cymbal.

Do not expect others to conform to My Commandments if you are not willing to do so too.

It is so easy to instruct others, and avoid instructing our own precious soul.  Because we feel we have it all alright. 

But I tell you it, the Message, has to be laced with My Love, so not only the listener but the proclaimer hears My Message of Love.

We are so eager to change others opinions, yet too afraid or too proud to change ours.  True, right?

So before you want to go out and fix the world be sure to ask Me to help your heart receive the fullness of the Good News first.

Adore Me now, sit patiently and adore Me now.

REVIEW --- #505 --- LENT March 17/16

(Fluff)

O Sacrament Most Holy.

I come to you in the fullness of My Divinity.  I want to shower you with Divine Love.  Let Me open you heart to streams of My Divine Love.

Sit still and absorb all of the Divine Love I pour into and over you this day.

And your response should be thank you.  

Not wondering what is going on that I think you need My Divine Love, which you do, but just deep gratitude that your heart is ready and willing to receive it without question.

Let it seep into every crack and crevice.  Let it enlighten you.  Let it lighten your step.  Let it embrace you.  Let it set you free.  Let it lighten your load. 

Let it thrill yet calm you.  Let it be the balance in your life you so desperately need. 

Hush the trauma.  Hush the quarreling.  Hush any ‘noise’ in your head that does not bring you to Me.

There are lots of noises that will love to take you from Me, so just step in and do not allow them in to rule you, when all you need to rule in your life is Me.

Step back and let the fluff of life pass you by safely.

All our bitter feelings really are all fluff --- that is, they have no value in our life.  They all take you away from Me who is your rock, your stronghold.

You can’t hold onto fluff.  You may try and try by trying to stay in a bitter mode, but what good does that bring into your life?

The fluff is not stable, does not lead to good decisions, does not develop a strong character, does not qualify you to Love unconditionally.

So look around right now and tell Me what the fluff in your life is right now.  

How do you evaluate if it is fluff?  

Does it take you away from Me?  

Does it rule your mind and conversation more than I do?

Does it keep your soul bound and in pain?

Then it is fluff.  It may make you feel good at first that you are caught up in this fluff which at first seems to appease your emotions.

But when you come right down to it, all it does, the most important thing it does is that it succeeds in taking you farther away from Me.

You can’t trust fluff.  It may appear, at first, to be just casual --- that you have a right to get caught up in it --- but not so.

If it takes you away from spending more time with Me, then it is not useful.  

You may think you are defending Me when you get caught in some fluff, but really you can’t justify yourself in this way.

If you are not Loving as I have asked you to do, then you are not ‘on My Side’.

Shocker isn’t it!

If you are not upholding My Teachings with Love in your heart, then you are being drawn away by the evil one.

Be careful that you don’t get as lost as the others who also think they are doing good.  

Fluff stuff may seem a light topic, but it weighs heavy on your soul because it clogs the entry ways for Love to enter and abide.

It clogs your heart to Love.

Now, Go.  I am with you always.

REVIEW -- #504 --- LENT March 15/16

 #504  Tues. Mar. 15/16, 11:05 am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament.

(knock, knock)

Behold My People.  Your Lord stands knocking.  Will you let Him in?

How often have I tapped at the doors of your heart and you have not answered?

I do not ask you to go back and research that, but rather, I want you to look ahead and say “Lord, with your Grace, help me to answer each knock.”

Take a pledge this Lent that you will continually beseech My Graces to answer when I knock.

You cannot and will not respond on your own.  You need My Graces to answer My Call.

So, if you are not spending time with Me, you most certainly are not likely to beseech Me to help you answer My Knock.

So you ask “when are you knocking, Lord?” And I answer “Always.”

My Knock may ask you to guard your tongue.

My Knock may ask you to speak out boldly on My Behalf.

My Knock may call you to pray, right now – not then or later, but right now. 

If you ask Me to help you recognize My Knocking, I will supply those Graces.

But, tell Me how often during the day do you ask for the Graces to recognize My Knocking?  You must admit --- not often.

So now is the time to start.  Ask Me to give you the Graces to recognize My Knocking this day.

If you do not hear My Knock what are you listening to or for?

Is it the devil sneaking in and encouraging you to do this or that?

If you are not hearing My Knock, I ask you “what are you hearing?”  --- compliments, swear words, gossip, lies and more lies?

Because you obviously are hearing something else because many times you are not answering My Knock.

Be Bold enough to ask Me each day to give you the necessary Graces to answer My Knock.

Yes, it takes boldness, because we would prefer to stay in control of our own world and not be influenced by any other.

Step out of the shadows of mediocrity and boldly proclaim that you want to be able to respond to ALL My Knocking.

Knock, Knock!    Who’s there?  

God.

God who?

The God who Loves you.  

I knock out of Love.  I know you need more of Me in your life and that is why I persist on knocking.

Consider it like this.  That I am always knocking at the doors of your heart.  So, with My Grace in hand, do not hesitate to ask Me throughout the day “What do you want me to do, Lord?”

How many of us have our day planned out that there is no time, space or reason to even ask Me “What do you want me to do, Lord?”

We should start our day with that prayer.  It is all about surrendering!

“What do you want me to do right now, Lord?”  we can even make it that specific during the day.

Instead of eating lunch, I may suggest calling a sick friend.

How willing are you to answer My Knock?   “Well yes, I am willing Lord but please don’t  knock too often because I have lots of things to do.”

Tell Me, Tell Me that My Knock is uppermost on your list of ‘things to do’ and you want to respond because what I want done is more important than anything you want done.

We sometimes do not have our life priorities in correct order.

First and foremost it should be to do My Will.

If that is not first and foremost, then what other god is taking My Place?

It may seem like a harsh question, but I have told you that I am the Lord your God, and there are to be no false gods before Me.

So, in order to protect your precious soul from false gods, be ready and willing to ask Me ‘What do you want me to do, Lord?”

When I knock welcome Me in and be ready to hear My Answer to this question which recognizes that I and I alone am God in your life.
