WHERE JESUS WANTS ME -- #1377 from June 9, 2022

 #1377  Thursday, June 9, 2022,   10:05am,  St. Thomas Aquinas, before the Blessed Sacrament.


And where do you wish to run off to that is more satisfying than Me?

That is sort of an ‘ouch’ question, isn’t it.  Like, is the Lord trying to hurt my feelings?

I most certainly am trying to get your attention.

Where do you have to be, right this minute, that is more important than Me?

Do we ask ourselves that often?   

I think we are too afraid to ask ourselves that question, eh!

Because we would fall far short with an answer!

I want you to ask yourself more often than often “Am I where Jesus wants me to be?”

Am I doing His Will or have I reserved some time just for me and my will for my life?

Dare we hold ourselves up in comparison to what Christ wants for me and what I want for me?  

Is there any comparison at all???

Yet, we give into ourselves  --  to salve ourselves, to show our independence, to show our wisdom, to show that we can think for ourselves.

Oh, how we sometimes hate for God to think for us because we tell ourselves “then I cant get to do what I want to do.”

But isn’t that all about surrendering ourselves to God??


REVIEW -- #249 from March 22, 2014

 #249     Sat. Mar.22/14, 10am, at home (Keep me patient Lord)


Pearls of Wisdom.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know that the Wisdom He will share with you is not of this world.

He does not want Wisdom of the mind as much as Wisdom of the soul.  This is the Wisdom He wishes to impart.  

So, for many, you may not seem wise, if they are not soul believers and that is ok.  Leave them to My Loving Care.

Yet share the Wisdom of the Soul with those who are craving for it.  

Do not ponder what that Wisdom will be.  Just say yes to being willing to share it with others.

Now mind you do not go around making up the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit.  You will know it when it shines its light into your soul.

And then that does not mean that you have to run out and share it with others.

First and foremost let it fall gently on your soul.   

Let it gradually resound in your soul.  

When it has made its home in you, then, by your very life, thoughts and actions you will be able to share it with the world.

If it does not become embedded in you, how are you ever going to be able to share it with others.

It is not a balancing act.  Like this Wisdom may topple over unless it becomes first embedded in your heart.

The greatest Wisdom you will need is to be able to let the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit settle in and around you without you feeling frantic or anxious to get out there and share it with others.

If it does not embed itself in you, if it is not allowed the time to embed in you then it is not balanced.  You do not have a firm grasp of it and thus it will not impart itself well on others.

The Wisdom I want to impart on you is one of great patience.  

Do not feel that if you do not tell others about it immediately that they will be the worse off for it.

Ask Me, beg Me to first of all “Keep me patient Lord” so the Wisdom that the Holy Spirit wishes to impart on me I will allow to seep into and eventually act on it, for my benefit first. 

Not that I want you to benefit from it Margo and not others. 

But if the Holy Spirit infuses you with Wisdom it is first and foremost for your benefit.  Let the Holy Spirit tell you eventually when you should/can share it with others.

And you may not have to do it verbally.  

All Wisdom should seep out from you through your thoughts, words and actions.  So do not ‘preach’ what you are not willing to do or think yourself.

For instance, and this will sound trite but we may say “don’t growl about having to do the dishes”, yet we ourselves do not follow that same advice.  We complain, even to our secret self, when we have to tidy the kitchen – right?

So your Wisdom from the Holy Spirit will show itself in your thoughts and actions.

You know yourself things, thoughts, have struck you and it was a WOW moment from the Holy Spirit.  Yet did you give it time to move from your head to your heart?

That is where it has to take real life.

That is where it has to gently stew.  So the pondering juices will be able to add flavour to the Wisdom you have been given.

Do not hasten and run out the front door and yell it to one and all.   

But first ‘take it to heart’.  Listen to it as it speaks to your soul.  Don’t hesitate to let your soul take it in and sit with it and see how it impacts your life.

Wisdom of the Holy Spirit is of no value to us at all if we don’t get to understand how it is supposed to work in our lives for the betterment of my soul.

Wisdom is not just meant to be a small spark.  It needs time for the spark to develop into a good fire within us.  We have to be on fire for the Lord as some say.

And that does not come until we allow His Words, His Wisdom to permeate our very soul.  

So perhaps instead of praying for Wisdom from the Holy Spirit, we can pray for patience so that when we do receive the beautiful Wisdom of the Holy Spirit we will patiently let it settle in our souls to change us even more into true followers of Christ.
