O Gracious Lord.

How I want My People to come to realize that I am a Gracious Lord.

It is a simple prayer.  “O Gracious Lord.”

It is your way of thanking Me for all the Graces I have poured forth on you.

It thanks and praises Me all in one small prayer.

I am a Generous Lord.  I want My People not to hesitate to come to Me and ask for what is on their heart, or to express what has really upset them.

Part of My Graciousness is that I will listen to any and all you have to tell Me.  

Nothing is too foolish, too absurd, too trite, that I do not take the time to listen and hear.

I want to be your dearest confidante.  I want to hear what you want to share with Me;  I even want to hear what you don’t really think I need to hear.

Leave nothing out.  Tell Me things from your past, tell Me your plans for the future.

Margo, you felt Me nudge you to kneel and bring your precious soul and the precious souls of the 3 women who called yesterday and the precious souls of their dear babies into My Gracious Welcoming Sacred Heart.  

I want all of you to realize that I am in charge, so there is to be no ‘what if I had said that” scenario.  

That takes you back to you trying to solve their predicament instead of bringing them to Me to let Me Love them.

You will notice, all of you, that anytime you take on the problem or judge that you should have done more, then you ARE NOT praying to Me.

You can test it out on anything, anything at all.  

If you can’t get the top off a jar --- bring that small problem to Me and I will direct you how to solve it.

When we go to ourselves as the problem solver we certainly end up spending more time with ourselves than with Me.  

I am oh so right aren’t I?

So, no matter what arises, do not consult with you but rather consult with Me.

That way the time is well spent in endeavoring to solve the problem.  

And the onus does not fall on you to be the solver of the problem.  

It is only a problem when we do not give it to God as fast as possible.

Once we put it into His Hands then we have more time to chat with Him, to adore Him, to be at peace within Him.

See how He solves our problems?  

He takes it out of our hands, mind, heart and cares for it so much better than we ever could while at the same time giving us peace and quiet to spend refreshing ourselves in His Sacred Heart.

He really solves 2 problems doesn’t He.  

One being the problem that was presented to us or that presented itself to us, AND the problem of wanting to have more time to spend in His Almighty Presence.

Do you see how Gracious I am?

O Come all yee Faithful.  

Does this mean that only those full of faith are the ones I invite to come to Me?

I may not have many if that is the case.  I invite all to Me, all the Father has given Me.

I walk with the tramp as much as I walk with the king.  Who needs Me more?   

You may never know, but you don’t have to worry about that do you.

The tramp we may feel needs Me more because we see his poverty of humanity – no house, no money, not many friends  -- that is how we view the tramp and his needs.

So look at the king – what do you think he needs?  He may seem to have all that will enable him to live well in this world, but what about the next?

You see, it is the poverty of our souls that is My Main Concern.

What good does it do if you have everything, yet lose your soul?

We don’t want to look poor or be poor in other’s eyes.  

Yet are you not afraid to look poor in your soul before Me?  

Do you ever want to admit that you need Me more than money, clothing, hair-dos, the next trip?

So, the faithful ones are those who seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, letting go of seeking to satisfy all else. 

Now did I say it would be easy?  No.  But did I say it was worth the effort?  YES.

I do not want you stumbling around looking how to get closer to Me.  It is very simple.  

Do I come first and foremost in your life each day?  

And in many cases you will have to be honest because worry creeps in, your plans take over, your grumbling thoughts seek to be satisfied. 

So just be aware of these and others which take you farther and farther from Me.

We only have to move an inch or 2 a day before you are a foot away from Me.  Without even realizing it.  

And the way to realize it is to ask Me to prompt you when you are distracted and head down another path from Me.

Do you remember that the path is narrow?  Well how narrow?  

Let’s say you and I are walking down a path that is 4 ft. wide.  See that in your mind.

Something shiny in the path a few inches to your left catches your eye and you divert ever so slightly to go and pick it up.

Now this is not sin, so please understand that.  

But do you bring it back to where we are walking and share it with Me?  Or do you remain walking along the same line looking for more shiny objects?

Then a flower at the edge of the path catches your eye and you go and check it out and smell it and admire the color and perhaps even pick it.  

Do you return to walking with Me and sharing your joy with Me and thanking Me for this beautiful Creation, or do you stray further off the path looking for more things that will satisfy and stimulate your human senses?  

Yes!  I want you to admire and enjoy My Creation, yet I ask you each time to return to Me with thanks and praise for this latest gift I have given you.  

Note the 10 lepers and one returned to say thanks and praise.  

It is not so much the beauty of Creation that we delight in, but the Creator who Created these things to bring us to Joy and Love and Peace and Harmony.

So do not even wait for sin to take you away from Me.

Realize, become conscious that other limitations, harmless as they are in themselves, can take you away from Me.  

Always, constantly return to Me with thanks and praise.

Just a quick example.  You get distracted by the dust on the floor – you see no beauty in this, right? 

Yet return to Me who created the dust!  Thank and praise Me and then thank and praise Me more because I have provided a solution to dust – a mop, or cleaning cloth, broom and dust pan.

So if you delight in My Creation – the beautiful flower – return to Me with thanks and praise.

Likewise even if you do not delight in the dust I have Created, return to Me with thanks and praise.

You will only grow closer and closer to Me, as you so want to do, if you thank and praise Me for more and more things in your life.

You can thank Me at the end of the day for all you have experienced that day, yet you can also throw in lots and lots of thank yous all during your day.

Well, I see we have finished this book – onto the next.

I love to hear from My People.  

Let them know that, and the best prayer they can make to Me is one of thanks and praise because it lifts them out of themselves into recognizing My Divine Presence constantly in their lives. ¬¬¬¬__

REVIEW -- #335 from Jan. 6, 2015

 #335  Tuesday, Jan. 6/15, 12:15am, at home (in bedside book)

Celebrate with Me.

Celebrate that I come to win souls to My Eternal Home.

Celebrate with Me as I endeavor to exercise My Love throughout the World.

Yes indeed, it may not seem like all parts and corners of the World receive My Love, but it is there just the same. 

So celebrate that My Love flows over all parts and places of the World.

You may find it expressed in only one person in that part of the World, but still rejoice.

Even if you turn over every rock and open every door and you still don’t seem to find it, rest assured it is there.

I always wait oh so patiently for someone to pick up My Love and put it into action.

And it does not have to be somewhere I am not very well known.

How about right in your own home?  Have you picked up My Love and put it to good use?

Or, have you thought you were doing quite well without having to intentionally pick up My Love and let it reign in your heart?

You see we do not have to go far at all to see that My Love is not fully used.  

Look at your own soul. How often are you not making good use of My Love?

Again, I do not come to point fingers, but to point out to you that we cannot point at the faults of others if we are not willing to address our own first and foremost.

Do not be fooled that you think you are making the best use of My Love and others aren’t.

Be Brave enough to sit with Me and let Me help you to make good use of My Love.

It takes a brave and humble heart to admit that they are not making full use of My Love AND they really, really want to be able to do so.

You see you can tell Me, admit to Me, that you do not make full use of My Love and leave it at that.

Like that’s how bad a sinner I am, Lord.

But I tell you to dare to admit to Me that you want to be able to make good use of My Love.

I rather hear your positive approach to our relationship rather than your negative approach which you will notice is more about your lack, than your willingness.

Doesn’t it make you mad when I turn things around like this!

I do not want a whimpering soul.  I want a soul that wants to do better.

If you want to do better, of course you are admitting that you haven’t been doing as well as you would like to do.

You admit to me that with My Help you can do better in Loving yourself and others.

“O, I just can’t get it Lord” does not show Me that you want to get it, or that you Trust with My Help that you will get it.

Do not run yourself down to Me, but rather run to Me asking Me to help you build a stronger soul that will then Love longer and harder and in all circumstances.

Do not come to Me looking for miracles but come to Me looking for a closer relationship with Me which is a miracle.

Come willing to be led, willing to learn, willing to forgo your plans, willing to Love more and more.

Did you ever think this possible?  Yet you have seen your heart respond and that is a miracle.

You have welcomed Me into a hardened heart which felt it was doing quite fine and allowed Me, begged Me, to help your soul grow and grow.

Miracles happen when I step in when I am welcomed to step in and change things.

If I tell you this is a miracle, then it is.

So please each new holy day welcome Me into your new heart asking Me to make you more loving today than yesterday.

And don’t stop to count the ways or number of times I help you during the day.  

Rather have thanks and praise on your soul’s lips, more than listing off how often you see Me at work in you.

By your Praise and Thanks I see that you realize My Actions in your life.

Like if you say “I saw You work 5 times today in my life, Lord.”   I am bound to say “You saw Me only 5 times?” 

Like I am acting in your life every second of every day, so please do not get caught up with counting.

Your Praise and Thanks increases in you the flow of My Love.  Do you see this?

As you Praise and Thank Me your soul  becomes more secure in My Love, in receiving My Love, in welcoming My Love, in giving a safe home for My Love.

Now sleep. Praise and Thank Me for the wind, the cold, the creaks, the traffic.  See My Love in all and more.

God Bless each one of you and remember to bring My Love with you and leave My Love there for others to enjoy.

Night, night.
