#470 Tues. Jan 5/16, 10am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament
Come My People, bow low and give great thanks for My Mercy.
The ‘bow low’ is not a sign of servitude but rather a sign of fully acknowledging that My Mercy is the only Mercy anyone should experience.
Bowing low takes you out of the picture allowing My Mercy to flow over all.
You saw My Mercy this morning when a certain person’s name was brought up. I am Merciful because I want you to see how much un-love you have still in your heart.
Just when you think you are doing ok, I insert Myself boldly into your life.
Now, at first, you may not see it as Me, but very quickly you came to realize that it is My Mercy that has, through this circumstance, revealed to you your still broken, hurting heart.
When it is broken of course it cannot hold My Love. My Love will drain out through the cracks and chunks of your heart that are missing My Love.
You presume to think that your heart is doing fine.
I presume that it is not as healthy as you would like it to be, and thus I place you in certain circumstances that show there is still lots of un-love abounding in your heart.
Even a little un-love is too much for a heart that really and sincerely wants to Love.
So what we see as a circumstance we don’t want to be in today ---hearing mention of a certain name – yet I, in the Fullness of My Mercy, knew that you had to hear it and then on hearing it, after the ire started to bubble up, you realized it was My Mercy that brought you to hear these words that upset you, so then you can come to Me and address this still lingering problem.
I want you Loving. I don’t want you to think that you are all loving and all forgiving when you really aren’t.
Now that sounds like I am being mean. But no such thing.
You beg Me, you ache in your heart to be ever closer to Me and this is one of the ways --- accepting My Insight that you are not as loving as you really want to be.
We should not be so proud as to pat ourselves on the back as to how much we have improved.
Rather, we are to humbly keep asking Our Lord to make us more Loving. And then we have to be heart-ready to see how He presents opportunities to us to be more Loving.
Our hearts have to be ready to be instructed by the not so obvious, at times we aren’t even thinking of receiving His Mercy.
How Merciful I am. I give you so many opportunities, time and time again to work on Loving each other more and more.
I do not leave you alone to struggle with this task. I am with you always revealing My Mercy to you in all sorts of ways, at all sorts of times.
So when you feel your anger starting to boil or your pride wanting first place, or your un-forgiveness holding on tight, then realize and rejoice that really this is Me being Merciful to you!
Do you get it ? I am allowing these emotions in you to raise their ugly heads so you can see there is more that you and I together have to work on. Your soul still needs more fixing.
Now this should not be moments of discouragement, but moments of rejoicing because I have answered your prayer that you want to be closer and closer to Me.
I do not carry pride or un-forgiveness or sin of any kind. So, if you want to be more like Me, let Me reveal to you what needs fixing in you.
Do not ever take it as chastisement but rather as enlightenment --- Me speaking to your broken soul endeavoring to mend it more and more.
Do not become discouraged that this infection still is in you. It may take lots of My Medicine to heal it.
And if so, be ever so grateful that I am a patient doctor who wants dearly to see you healed and will not stop till you are.
My Mercy is not only that I heal, but that I will reveal to you daily what needs to be healed.
Are you as Merciful as this? Who will you offer My Healing Mercy to today?
It does not even have to be verbalized to the person, but tell Me whom you want to throw My Mercy on today and it will be done in far greater abundance than you could ever imagine.
Let My Mercy rain!
“Jesus, let Your Mercy rain.”
