My People, My People, how I Love My People.
There is not a ray of sunshine or a rain drop that happens that I do not delight in My Precious People.
Come surround Me with your love. Let your love reign not only in your heart but out into the world.
When you keep love to yourself, it really isn’t love.
I want you to let Me see that the Love I have poured over you and you have humbly received is not kept bound up within you for fear of losing it.
The more Love I pour into your heart, the more you can give away and vice versa, the more Love you give away, the More Love I pour into your heart.
Do not be greedy with My Love and try to horde it as if you might just need it sometime in the near or distant future. You cannot store up My Love.
Now, if it is your image of what love is and does, then I do not have control over that.
But My Love is constantly overflowing aching for a heart that will joyfully receive it and just as joyfully give it away.
How do you give Love away?
Read Corinthians --- Love is kind, Love is gentle...
You can let My Love first of all flow into your heart and show you how to Love yourself and once Love has shown you how to Love yourself, as I Love you, then you will not struggle to Love others.
So, each day let My Love to your heart teach you how to be kind and gentle, slow to anger to yourself.
If you do not realize how to let My Love love you, how can you pass it on?
My Love does not touch anyone that it does not leave a lasting mark.
It is like a foot print in the snow. Someone has come and gone from here. Someone has been here.
From the footprint we may not know, but we don’t have to. We just accept that someone has stepped into the fresh snow and left their mark.
Now, when I step into your heart with My Love, your heart has to be changed. Like the molecules of snow are changed by the footprint, so is you heart changed, altered, made different.
So invite Me into your heart and beg Me to tramp all around in your heart leaving My Heart Print on your heart.
The more you invite Me in, the more your heart will change.
Like going from just one footprint in the snow to a whole bunch of footprints. The whole landscape of the new snow changes.
Yet, when the snow originally fell it was pure and pristine. So was your dear soul when first Created.
However, over time, it got tramped down by what was said or done to you, and now is not the simple soul of the Creation time.
But I can come in and leave My Heart Print in all the places in your soul that struggles to be well, and you can’t get there on your own.
That is My First Gift to you --- you cannot replenish your soul on your own. So that takes a lot of weight and work off your shoulders. You can try to fix it on your own, but to no avail.
When I tramp around inside your heart I do not mess it up even more, rather I restore it to what it had originally looked like in My Father’s Eyes.
My tramping around does not destroy but heals. Quite the opposite of what a footprint does on a pristine field of snow.
So ask Me, beg Me to tramp through your heart and fix all the parts and pieces that are torn, broken, worn out.
You will gradually be able to tell that I have been tramping around in your heart by how your heart will change.
And how do I fix things? Only by My Unconditional Love. You just have to invite Me in, even if you only open your heart just a wee crack.
You may never before have been told by Me that I can’t get in unless you let Me in.
So, even if you open your heart a crack, I know that your fear and apprehension halt you from opening it wide open.
Yet I also know that this small crack that you have made available for Me is all that you can do right now and believe it or not, it is all I need you to do to get into your heart and start tramping around.
Challenge Me! Tell Me that you are going to open your heart, just a crack, for Me for the next 5 minutes.
I am oh so ready to leap in and tramp around and touch all your hurts with My Almighty Love.
I will not waste any time. I will be in your heart and busy healing before you can finish your invitation to Me to come and tramp around for 5 minutes.
Try Me. It can’t hurt. You don’t ever have to tell anyone that you are doing this --- that you are giving Me a chance to heal your broken heart.
You may not want others to know that you are trying Me out for a while.
You may think they will call you a fool, or crazy, or behind the times, or not capable of caring for yourself.
So don’t tell anyone but Me. I am the Only Solution you need anyway.
You do not need others’ opinions or suggestions. Trust in Me and thrust all of you into My Arms.
Take tiny steps if you must. Yet take this chance to test Me out.
Do not look for answers to any of your problems to be solved yet let Me tell you the biggest problem you do have is not opening your heart to My Heart.
All or any other problems you have pale in comparison to this problem.
And really it is not a problem because I will keep reminding you that if you give Me an instant of your time to tramp around in your heart I will be delighted to do so.
You see, you may think your problem is that I won’t take you seriously or, what can I do for you after all these years.
I DO NOT count Time.
I take you seriously because that is what Unconditional Love is --- it is serious. It means what it says. It is never less than Perfect Love of you for you.
Sit still right now and give Me your heart.
Oh, says you, I thought you only wanted a small crack in my heart to open and let you in.
OK --- perhaps just your left ventricle then!!
But do you see what is happening --- you and I are talking about your heart!
I am not looking for you to promise Me that you will do it another time.
This promise comes from a broken heart that does not know how to carry out a promise because it is so sick and hurt.
I ask you right now, face to face, friend to friend will you not open your heart to My All-Saving Graces?
Mind you, if you don’t I will not Love you less.
Yet I am so anxious for you to find out how very, very, very much I do Love you.
If you have to take you time, that is ok. But don’t be surprised when I show up again and again begging you to let Me in and help you.
You are Mine. You are My Beloved One.
I cannot and will not abandon you.
When all others may turn away, I will always be there.
