#203 Monday, Nov. 11, 2013, 9:15am, St.Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament
My People ache for healing. I am here to help.
What purpose has war? Does it satisfy our greed?, does it calm hearts?, does it mend hearts, does it bring love?
I want you all to know that I am there in the midst of each and every conflict. Then why don’t I stop it, you ask?
How can I stop that which comes from our free will being exercised, definitely for wrong, yet free will in use which, I repeat, is a gift from God the Creator.
When you hear of war – anywhere, between anyone – put on your armour of Love.
Beseech Me to allow you to be with Me in My Sacred Heart pouring forth Love on both sides.
It is Love Lost that we see in war. It is a conflagration of souls that have moved away from God and made gods of other things – power, money, land, greed.
These things cause war in each one of us. Sometimes we endeavor to rein them in, yet other times they overflow into turf wars, family feuds, murder.
You see we don’t have to go far from the center of our own hearts to see how war can escalate.
If each heat ran on the fuel of Love, do you really think there would be war?
You can’t fight with another when your heart is run on Love.
So do not go to the large theatres of war to point fingers and blame for the warring that is going on. Dare to take a peek into your own heart and tell Me the war that is rumbling there.
Ah-ha, we do not like to bring war to the footsteps of our own hearts, do we.
It is much easier to point fingers, blame others for greed, lust, desire, meanness, than to dare to look and seek and name these in our own souls.
Quiet your heart. Ask Me to reveal to you, this very moment, the warring factions in your own heart.
You showed me Lord “being in control”, “wanting things to be done ‘right’ my way.”
You are gracious, Margo, I see your heart, that I have revealed these warring factions in your heart.
Do we ever envision a torn and tattered Love? You know what I mean?
Love that is scarred, in bits and pieces, starving to be nourished, without a home, ignored, abandoned, left by the wayside, injured, suffering.
Does that not describe those caught in war? --- whether civilians, armed forces, ‘the other side.’
They are the remnants of Love gone wrong – of love abandoned for greed, of love unnourished, of love left behind for power and more power.
So when you look on the scenes of war, open your heart to see tenderly the lack of love gone very wrong.
Not just a shattered body – but love abandoned.
Not just a devastated field, but blood poured out to satisfy someone’s need for power. It certainly does not depict the fullness of Love does it.
We see the destruction and mourn for the loss of lives, and the injured.
But now I want you to go deeper -- see the Loss of Love.
Then do not apply this Loss of Love to others, dare to apply it to yourself.
Ouch you say. Yes, ouch. You are part of each and every war if your heart contains warring factions.
We don’t want to hear, that in each war, I am personally involved. Seems like a stretch for your head and heart to accept.
But if you have taken sides – love one side and hate the other, tell Me to My Face that that is what I have asked mankind to do.
Show Me how this fulfills the 2 Great Commandments.
Now, very few of us want to go there and confront Me, but I am serious. It is simple – do you Love and hate Me at the same time? Can you Love and hate Me at the same time?
Hate and Love do not live ‘happily ever after’ in your heart. There is room for only one. So which one do you pick? I have picked Love for you and imbedded it in your very soul at conception.
I have told you “love your enemies, do good to those who harm you”.
However, so often, those Words do not ring in your heart as they should.
You choose to be bitter, resentful, greedy, gossipy, blaming, prideful, scandalous, idolaters.
Do not shake your head NO!
You have to be willing to have Me speak the plain, blunt Truth to you, otherwise you wanting to be closer and closer to Me is all a sham.
You do not have to journey into your heart on inspection, all by yourself.
If you do, you will miss some things, judge others to be not so bad, ignore others, etc.
If, if you want to be closer to Me, ask Me to join you on your inspection of your heart. And be most ready to hear My Voice point out to you, gently but firmly, the tattered Love that is endeavoring to abide there.
I WANT YOUR HEART WHOLE AND HEALTHY.
Do not dare to point out the deeds of others to Me. And in most cases you are trying to show Me their ‘bad’ deeds.
And if you do point out their good deeds immediately thank Me for blessing them so they are able to do good God Deeds.
So today we pray for all those who have served in wars and are serving in wars.
Ask Me, Beg Me to guard their souls. Bring their souls to Me right now --- individually or in groups and ask Me to infuse them with Love.
Do not limit the Love I have for them, let Me determine how this Love will work for their good and My Glory.
To your knees and ask Me right now. Margo, let your prayer be “Please Lord do not let Me get in the Way of Your Love.”
Because when you went to your knees you started to be ‘more specific’ with My Love!
Funny eh? I just asked you to kneel and ask Me “to infuse them with My Love” – not your ideas of what/where My Love was needed, but leaving it ALL up to Me to infuse and heal.
Do you see the war going on in your prayer life? Yes indeed. You pray to Me to do your will!!! Interesting eh?
Do not deny this, for it is True.
You see it is when we do not want to see or hear the Truth from Me that the heart goes to war. Yes it does.
You want it your way and yet you know that I am The Way, so what a struggle.
Would you dare to say to each World Leader “Jesus Loves you”, and add nothing more.
Would you dare to say “I will stop hating people Lord”, and not add a word more?
Would you dare to tell Me that you do not want to hate anymore, and not add a word more?
“I want to love my ‘self’ more this day, Lord.” Do we say that very much?
Not really because that looks self-centered. But beg Me for the Grace to love your ‘self’ more and more each day.
The ‘self’ is sometimes our enemy.
We may not realize it but the perfection with which God Created us has been severely damaged by our perception of our ‘selves’ and thus the person God Created is many times in conflict with the person I have created.
So daily beg Me to help you to Love the ‘person’ God Created --- YOU!
So often we pray to be rid of this, to be rid of that – a flaw or whatever we do not like in our character; however, what I encourage you to pray for is the Grace to open your heart to Love the ‘person’ God Created.
So, this Remembrance day has taken us down several paths, which all lead back to the God of Love who is needed in each soul throughout the world.
Kneel and pray that each soul, this day, be infused with the Love of God for their good and His Glory.
Amen.
