REVIEW -- #355 from Feb. 25, 2015

 #355   Feb. 25/15, 3am, at home,  (No appointment needed!)

Come quietly before Me.  

You owe Me nothing so do not look around you for things to bring with you to Me.  

There is no payment needed by Me from you for your salvation.  

What would you pay?  

Your soul is beyond value, so nothing would suffice, therefore nothing is needed from you to come before Me.

I’ll tell you what.  Just bring your soul into My Merciful Gentle Presence.

You may think “that is going to cost me dearly because then how do I get it back?”

I will not horde your soul, or put it in chains.  

I will free your soul to soar to even greater heights of Love, patience, kindness, thoughtfulness. 

We hesitate to surrender for fear we will not still be able to make choices.  

Rest assured, I will not interfere with the choices you make in life.  

But you notice the more you bring your soul into My Presence to be refreshed, to get a chance to feel real Love, to just rest awhile from the bothers of the World, the healthier your choices will be and the better you will feel about yourself and the World around you.

Your dear soul deserves your dear attention.  

If you do not choose to get it refreshed how does it get the nourishment to properly heal you and guide you and touch you to Love as I Love.

Just as you choose the food you put in your body, so also you choose the food you put in your soul.

How has your soul been doing lately?

Does it feel strong?  Is it at peace?  

Does it grumble and growl due to lack of good nourishment?  

Does it rest well?  Does it complain a lot?  

Is it satisfied with life in general?  Is it always seeking something fancier, more fun, more exciting, less drab, less ho-hum, less exciting?

Talk about an examination of Conscience!

Let’s look at an examination of our soul.  

So here we are not looking at what we may have done right or wrong during the day, but rather we will just check to see how our soul is doing.

Is it complaining about this or that?  

Is it not satisfied at the end of the day?

What is it bugging you about?  

Does it cry out for rest and peace?

Does it feel tormented by this world?

Is it asking for nourishment that you could provide if you so choose to?

It may not point out to you what you have done right or wrong, but its very state of sadness, unrest, discontent, unhappiness, restlessness, anger, bitterness shows you very plainly that it is not in a good place, in good health.

So what do you do?  I ask you “what do you do?”

Do you want it to remain in this sad state?  Are you content to live with an unhappy soul?

Does an unhappy soul make the rest of you feel aok?

If you have a toothache, you will get it fixed. Right?

If you have cut yourself badly, you would get stitches. Right?

So this is what you do.  

You go to the One who cares for souls.  

And if you have any question who that is, just ask your soul.  

Having been Created by God, it will want to go to God the Source of Love and Contentment.

It will not seek the devil.  

If you take it there, it will only become very, very sick and that will reflect throughout the All of you.

The soul’s well-being reflects in the body.

You know when your soul is well, so is your body.  

Now this does not mean your body does not get sick, but your body, guided by a healthy soul, accepts whatever comes with a better attitude.

It is no longer “why me, Lord?” or “I never get a break”, or “bad things always happen to me.”

Have we ever looked around and taken note of all the bad things in the World that have not happened to you and perhaps never will?  

But a sick soul does not look at the brighter side of life.

It feels that the woes of the World have been dumped all over it.

So, when you feel low or down in the dumps or just ho-hum, get your soul to The Doctor.

Take your soul into My Most Sacred Heart where it will be healed, renewed, rejuvenated.

What a great sign for you that you have to rush your soul to Emergency – My Most Sacred Heart.

If you don’t get your teeth checked regularly, they will tend to decay and not serve you as well as when they are well taken care of.

So with your soul.  

It does not survive well without your proper care.  

And even if you don’t feel down, or ho-hum, still come and visit with Me.  

You don’t have to book an appointment, just drop by.

It is almost like making an appointment for your teeth, BUT then between times, when there is nothing wrong with your teeth, you brush them and floss them for their health’s sake.

Sometimes, something happens that we feel we have to get our soul to God quickly.  

Please come quickly and no appointment needed.  

Yet other times please feel free to care for your soul by casually dropping in for a visit with nothing particular on your mind.

Just tell Me you want to care for your soul so it does not get unhealthy and need the BIG check-up.

You will find it is easier to keep it healthy by bringing it to visit with Me rather than waiting for the BIG SIN that you may find too difficult to bring to Me and then your soul will suffer, like a bad tooth ache.

Who would have thought that our teeth and our soul have so much in common!!

Sit with Me awhile.  

Sit with Me often awhile.

You do not need an appointment EVER.

You do not need to be coming for major surgery.

Just bring your soul and sit with Me awhile.

Tell Me how much more you want to care for your precious soul this day than yesterday.

Don’t you think I will give you extra Graces to help with this endeavor?

I am a Generous God, a Good Doctor.  I want you healed.  I want you well.

Even if this is the first time visit for you, I will not chide you, or ask any questions. 

You see I already know you.  Now, it is your time to get to know Me.  

So you can sit in silence or ask all sorts of questions.  Either way, we are together.

Either way your soul is being refreshed and thus so is the all of you.

What a deal.  I do not charge.  I do not require an appointment.  I do not need to quiz you.

See how very, very easy I make it for your soul to be refreshed.

I Love you, you are My Beloved One.  Come visit, come visit often.  I LOVE to be in your company. 

Thank you Lord.

 #354  Sat. Feb. 21/15  4pm, St Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

Give all of you to Me.  Hold nothing back.  

Hasten to sit with Me and be o so still and content.

Do not let your hearts be troubled, trust in Me.

I know Mine and I want Mine to know Me, more of Me.

Adore Me in the Blessed Sacrament.  Do not think I do not see you here in My Precious Presence.

I want your soul in all its glory.  It is glorious because it was Created by the Father.

Sure we do things that may tarnish it, but it is still glorious because the Creator is Glorious.  

You have been made in the Image and Likeness of Me.

Just believe.  Relax in this good and precious news.

I do not want you feeling forsaken or misled.  I come from Truth and lead all to the Truth.

Surrender all of you to My Truth.  Be willing to sit and absorb My Truth.

Do not look for explanations or what Truth I shall reveal.

I am revealing Myself to you and I am the Fullness of Truth.  So there are no other Truths you have to seek.  I am Truth.  

Come adore Me the Truth.  Be most satisfied just to sit with Me.

REVIEW -- #353 from Feb.20, 2015

 #353   Feb. 20/15, 9:55am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

O how I Love My People.

Let Me cry it from the highest mountain top.  

Let Me cry it from the Cross.  I died because I Love you.  

Not if and when you are good, or if and when you are obedient, but always.  No circumstance in your life stops Me from Loving you.  

You can turn as far away as possible and yet you cannot stop Me from Loving you.  

I don’t care what you have done to avoid My Love, I still fully and completely Love you.

Perhaps you think you have a really good plan that will upset Me so much that I will stop Loving you.  

The devil will lead you to thinking that you can out foil My Love.  

But rest assured, he is wrong and has always been wrong and furthermore he will continue to tempt you because he HATES the fact that I Love you unconditionally.

He does not, cannot treasure your soul as I do.

What is so frustrating to him is that he did not create you and thus does not have the miracle hold on you as I do.

Do you see how powerless he is?  

He cannot create.  

He may think he creates Chaos but even I am the Ruler in times of Chaos.

Do not let him snare you into believing in his power.  It is very limited.

You cannot ask him to create in you a new and more loving heart each day because he does not know Love. 

He is not the Maker of Love.  

He may try to mislead you into thinking that what he offers is for your own good, but no good comes from any association with him.

Come to Me, sit with Me.  

Do I ask you to do things that will damage your soul?   

I alone seek ALL-Good for you.  Now, it may not be what you like or prefer but it is all for your own good.

Beware how the devil sneaks in.  

He will make you feel sorry for yourself;  he will offer you power that never satisfies.

He wants your soul to strive for things for which it was not created!

You were Created in harmony with your Creator.

We break the harmony when we step away to wield our own power.  

We want to be famous, powerful.  We are greedy, cunning, thoughtless, self-centered.

If we are self-centered, we most certainly are not acting in harmony with God’s plan for each one of us.

“I want it done my way.”  

That is not a phrase we use when we are in harmony with God because when we are in harmony with God we will have the knowledge and understanding that His Way is the only Right and True Way.

“I want it my way,”  excludes God from the planning process.

So think hard on this.  

What have you planned to do today?  

What if these plans change slightly or drastically?  

Will you be ok with this or react in a fury of discontent and meanness?

If you have surrendered all of you to Me this day, no matter what happens you will be most content.

Now for someone who says “I want it done my way” what kind of reaction do you think they will have if things do not go their way?

It will not be contentment for sure.

So, that is how you can evaluate whether your day was done under God’s guidance or your own planning.

You will soon note that if it is done under God’s guidance there will be more contentment than discontentment.

Vice versa, if the plans for your day were done in little consultation with God, you will most definitely be much less content.

We sometimes think that if we don’t plan things, things won’t get done.  

Do you hear the devil’s voice whispering this to you in your ear?

I tell you, surrender all to Me and you will accomplish more, much more than you could imagine.

Sometimes we think surrendering ourselves and our plans will make us a doormat for others. NO, NO, NO.

When you truly surrender to Me, you will Love deeper and deeper and not take on the martyr role of being a doormat!

If you feel that way then you are still living in your plans for your day, and not living in Mine.

When you have to let go of your plans for another’s plans you feel put down and not appreciated.  Right???

But when you surrender to Me you have divested yourself of your plans, so no one can interrupt or change your plans BECAUSE YOU HAVE NONE.

You have given all of you over to the ALL of Me, so your tender emotions don’t, can’t get trod on when you are asked by others to do this or that.

Catch yourself.  

If you say well I wasn’t planning to do that, note you must not have surrendered all of you, all of your day to Me!

It is a good measuring tool, isn’t it. 

“I will do Your Will, Lord.”

Can you see how surrendering yourself and your day can free up your soul?  

It doesn’t have to get tangled up in feeling sorry for itself when plans change.  

They were not your plans anyway and so you are most willing to follow the Lord’s Will daily.  

What a great relief for your soul.

Thank God for taking away your planning process.

It takes more Grace to surrender yourself than to plan your own day. 

Yet the first allows so much more Grace to flow in and out of your life.

When we are in charge, our hearts are not always open to the Lord’s Graces.  

When we are not in charge our hearts are eagerly awaiting His Graces that we need to do His Will.

 #352    Thursday, Feb. 19/15, 6:50am. at home

(I am your dad)

Awaken My World to a new holy day.

Still your heart.  Do not let it race ahead of My suggestions for you for today.  Put it at ease and surrender it to Me.

I come with Words of peace not upset.  

I come to enhance the Joy in your life.  

I come to comfort and console you.  

What do you need from Me today, right now?

Tell Me.  Let Me answer the slightest concern.  

I am your Master yes, yet your most obedient servant.

I have Created you, yes, yet o so willing to serve the very creature I have Created.

I am a parent who has called you into being and wants to care for every aspect of you.

 Hold you close when you are crying.

 Change you from struggling to calmness.

 Clothe you with the finest purest garment of holiness and worth and joy and peace

 To calm you when you are upset.

 To take away your breath at a beautiful sunset

 To allay your fears when you feel you are falling into the dark pit.

 To be with you, sit with you, answer when you call

 To be tender when you need a bandaid

 To be corrective when I know it is for your own good

 To Love you unconditionally

I am your Dad.

Now, some of you may not have had the greatest experience with your Dad.

I am so sorry.  But that was then, this is now.  

Come to Me and see how tenderly I will care for you.

I am not a drinker or an abuser or a name caller.

Are these some of the things you experienced with your earthly Dad?

I do not abandon or forsake you or leave you without a goodbye.  NEVER. NEVER.

Tell Me your experiences with your Dad.  

Stop reading right here and tell Me honestly either through tears or grinding teeth.  

Tell Me the sorrow that lies deep in you that was created by another’s actions.

I am here to listen and care for this massive tear in your heart.

I will listen quietly to all your explanations.  I will not interrupt or say “well it wasn’t that bad” because for you it was.

After you have explained all of your bad memories about your Dad, please just sit still with Me.

May I gently, o so gently, point out to you that all this mistreatment you received, that was inflicted on you, did not come from someone whose heart was healthy.

Even you have said “How could he have done this to me?”  Right?

Only a very sick, sick heart inflicts such pain.  Because it does not have a reservoir from which to draw love, kindness, patience, caring.

You cannot change the circumstances that caused his heart pain, nor can you change what happened to you as a child.  

What happened truly happened and has left serious scars on your dear heart.

Do you want to go on struggling to live with these scars which you know are not healthy?

You can if you wish.

Yet I throw this out for you to consider.

Do you want to live a less scarred life?  A more scar-free life?

Because you know those scars cover up the parts of your heart that want to love tenderly, care often, show great patience.

Do you realize that your heart is now scarred as your Dad’s was and thus this cycle of pain and hurt from the Dad to the child will continue unless the scars are healed?

You can blame your Dad if you wish, for inflicting these scars.  But does that make you feel better?

Rather, why not blame Me for making every effort now to heal these scars of yours.

I may be the only one who sees how deep these scars run.  

Not even you know what extreme effect they have on even the smallest parts of your life.  

But I do, and I want them healed.

I really want your life scar-free.

Are you willing to blame Me for trying to heal you?  

I will take the blame because that is what I want to do.  I want to heal you!  Not punish, put you in your place, belittle you.

I want to raise you up.  Show you how worthy of Love you really are.  How precious you really are.

I want you to see how worthy others are!  

Ooops.  

I do not mean that you don’t, but really and truly you can’t when you do not think you are worthy in the first place.  

Any love you try to give does not come from a healthy heart and thus is not unconditional love.

Did you realize that your healing will heal others --- even just casual acquaintances?

But let’s not worry about that or be concerned about that right now.

Just tell Me.  Do you want to be healed from the scars you endured as a child?  YES or NO.

If it is YES, then I will jump in and get started.

If it is NO, I will step back and wait patiently just in case you change your mind.

Which of your answers do you think will lead to a brighter future for you?

Which of your answers do you think will release you from your past pains and sorrows?

I am not telling you that you have to go back and dig them up on your own and review them to relive the moments.

Your heart is not in a healthy space to even dare to do that.  That is like inflicting a scar on a scar on a scar.

So, if your answer first and foremost is YES, then come and sit with Me and tell Me, not yourself, your painful memories. 

 I will cry with you, I will put a gentle hand on the heart scar and heal it.

I will LOVE you.  For really that is what you have really missed in all of this --- unconditional LOVE.

Each scar is simply but powerfully a sign of lost Love.  

And our hearts are only healthy when they are Loved.  So when we experience a withdrawal of Love, our hearts become scarred.

I want your scarred heart healed for your sake.  

So you will not, in years to come, cry out to Me and say “I have inflicted on my child what was inflicted on me.”

What an even greater scar this creates – children who don’t love you because of how you treated them.

So let’s take care of your hurt heart right now.

Let’s start right now.  It is never too late.

NEVER, EVER tell Me that it is too late to start.  

Those words are not commands, but reassurances to you that it is NEVER too late to seek healing. 

I tell you and so it is so.

Come to Me, sit with Me, tell Me your life pains.  Nothing is too BIG or too small for Me to hear and care about.

I want you healed.  

Did I say that before?  Well I will say it again. 

I want you healed so the love you thought you lost in your childhood will relive in your heart NOW.

I can do this.  

I want to do this.  

I want you healed.

If you want to be healed and I want you healed I think we are in agreement and what a great place from which to start --- both of us with each other in mutual Love one for the other.

Let’s get started, right now.  

Put down this reading and sit with Me.  I Love you.  

I know you want to be Loved, even more importantly ----  GET THIS  --- I know you want to be able, to be free to Love with caring, patience, kindness, joy.

What a revelation --- you ache to Love!!!

You see your heart was made for loving yet when it is so scarred it can’t, so a large part of you has been crippled, as if you had a broken body part, and so your heart cannot live up to its potential.

Wow, say it “I ache to Love, Lord.”

“My heart, Lord, aches to Love.”

It is no longer about the lost love but the really and truly true ache “to Love.”

Did you ever think this way before?  

Were you more concerned about what hurt you in the past that did not let you see what the real pain was?

Not that you were not loved, but that your heart ached to love and there was no place to put it!

Oh, God, what a revelation!

Do you see why I write you to come and sit with Me?  

I have so much glorious Good News to share with each of you.

Come and be filled with Me this Lent.  I LOVE you.  

Come to learn how to love from the Maker of Love.

REVIEW -- #351 from Feb. 17, 2015

 #351   Feb. 17/15, 5pm, at home

Come aside and listen to My Gentle Voice. 

I will not speak harshly to you.  I will only speak the Truth which may seem harsh to your tender emotions, yet I only want you better, not feeling hurt or insulted.

If you feel hurt or insulted come aside and tell Me what I may have said that has so upset you.

Are you willing to spend some time with Me just to share with Me what is on your mind – what you have heard from Me that may have upset you?

If you are looking for an answer I will speak. But if you just want to vent your feelings, then I will gently listen and not interrupt and not deign to give advice.

A hurt heart is sometimes not ready to hear Words of Truth and Trust.

It only wants to spill over all the emotions that have been building up in it.  So Please never hesitate to come aside and sit with Me and tell Me your heart-hurts.

You may only come aside for a minute or two and that is aok.  You may feel you need an hour or more to express to Me all the pain that has built up in your heart.

I have all the time in the World, so never think that you are bothering Me or taking Me from a more important task.  

You, yes you, --- point to yourself --- are My Beloved One.

I care that your heart aches and breaks and is lost for what to do and where to go.

I will listen in total silence, if you wish, as you express either softly or very loudly what is hurting you so.

You may tell Me that I don’t understand.  

You may tell Me that I really don’t care about you.

Did you realize you can come aside and share all of your pain with Me at no charge?

My Presence in your life is free of charge.  You don’t have to go to a certain address to find Me or even use your phone, Ipad or whatever.

I am with you every second, very, very close to you every, every second.

All you have to do is take the time, small or big, and tell Me what is wrong.

Tell Me “Heh God this is what is driving me crazy”, or “heh God why did You let this happen --- I was so happy and now this turn of events?”

“O God, you have never been there for me.”

“I hate how You never seem to help me but you help others.”

“God, I don’t even want anyone to know I am talking to you.  They will think I am so stupid.”

“And God, if I talk to you about my hurting heart, does that mean I will have to start praying every day and behaving nicer than I have been?”

Why would you think I would demand that of you?

Do you see Me as a demanding God or a Loving God.  I presume you think I am more demanding than Loving.

I invite you to come sit with Me and chat to Me, talk to Me, yell at Me, get My Attention.

I have not said come and sit with Me only if you intend to listen to ALL I say and do what I say.

Would you believe that if that were the case, not even the greatest saint could have come aside and sat and chatted with Me.

I do not want you to change and be false in front of Me.  I want the all of you, the parts of you that I Created and the parts of you that you have created.  

You may not have been comfortable with how I made you and thus you have added parts, pieces, that do not survive well with the parts I Created.  And then the body/soul do not function to the fullest of your purpose in the World.

Bring ALL of you to Me.  Do not leave anything out thinking that I may not like to see the tattoos or the piercings, or the language or the outfit.

I Care about you!  

The you I Created that came into the World with nothing but My Love. 

The you that you have adorned as part of being a person here on earth.

You know yourself that you are more than the hair-do, the make-up, the swaggering walk.

You know this because even with the adornments, you still can cry, you still can feel hurt, you still can get upset and frustrated and angry.

So there is so, so, so much more to you than the adornments, clothing, hair-dos, etc.

That is the part of you I see.  That is the part of you that needs My Care.  

You can always change the hair-do and the clothing, but you can’t take care of your spiritual heart side.

Sure you can hide behind drugs and alcohol, but they never, never, never address the you that needs My Caring Love to nurture and nourish you.

So remember to come aside whenever and tell Me – the Care-Giver of your heart -- what troubles you.  

You can even tell Me you aren’t looking for My Advice but simply just need a listening ear that won’t make fun of the hidden hurts in your heart.

I Love you so I will never, never, never make fun of any of your hurts.  

I don’t want you feeling hurt so I will bend over backwards to show you that I care for the BIG and small pains in your heart.

And did you realize that we sometimes are able to see and identify the BIG hurts but not always able to see the small hurts.

Funny eh, that sometimes it is not the BIG hurts that really do the most damage.

Bring up some small thing from the past.  Do you see that if it still was not affecting your heart you would not be able to recall this tiny hurt.

So it is important to you.  Right?  

It is important to Me too because it hurts your heart that I want healed and whole and able to really enjoy all the adornments that you enjoy decking your body with.  

We seek to complete ourselves with this new thing or that new thing, and yet as soon as we get it, it does not satisfy us, so we look for more, different, outstanding, hoping beyond hope that this or that will make you complete.

I must tell you that I AM THE ONLY ONE who can make you feel and be complete.

And again I am free of charge.  I charge no cost to come into My Presence and share even your dirtiest laundry with Me.

I Love you.  I do not see Dirt.  I see My dearest Beloved One.  My One and Only you.

Can you imagine, have you ever stopped to think how very rare you are.  

Not because you have gone to the moon, or are a great actor, or have a beautiful singing voice, or seem to be disabled.

You are one of a kind.  That is how much God Loves you.  He made you one of a kind.

Think of the rarest jewel in the World.  It is NOTHING in comparison to you.

It cannot converse with Me.  

It cannot thank and praise Me because it is so unique.  

It cannot spend eternity with Me.

You are not only My Beloved One.  But the rarest of My Beloved Ones because you are one of a kind.

Now come to Me.  Tell Me that you are most rare because you are one of a kind.

I will rejoice with you as you come to realize how much I Love you.

You will not be in competition with anyone else in the World for My Love!  

Because you are so rare, a one of a kind, I Love you unconditionally.  

I do not compare you to any other person, because there is no one out there like you, so to whom would I compare you?  

Well, she’s taller  --  but that is not you.

He is smarter – but that is not you.

We have compared ourselves for years with this person, with that person.  You know this is true Margo, yet I NEVER have compared you to another.

Why have we let our hearts stray so far from the ONLY ONE that Loves you unconditionally?

Tell Me each day that you are most content with you.

Come, come, come aside and let Me hear your pain and then come again tomorrow and tomorrow.

Just “Jesus my heart is hurting.”  You can say that with one breath, so none of your time is lost or wasted.

I want you healed, happy and whole.  I am the Only One who can fulfill all your needs.  

Come aside My Beloved One and be at peace.

Grab a friend if you need to and come aside with Me.

I am waiting most patiently.  There is no time frame that you have to meet.  I am always here waiting for you.

I Love you, you are My Beloved One.  One and only Beloved One.
