(Fulfilled as a human being)
O Come all yee faithful.
I want you deep in My Most Sacred Heart.
Do not let a moment pass that you do not desire this too.
So, when sin raises its ugly head, hasten to implore Me to take your dear soul into My Most Sacred Heart.
I want to keep you free from sin so we can live in a closer relationship with Me and the saints and angels in heaven.
Do not beat yourself up, but rather leave your soul open to all of My Directions and Guiding Words.
I want you safe and completely fulfilled as a human being, but if you are not seeking to be present and alive in Me you are missing your calling as a human being.
We look at DNA that makes us human beings. Now, I want you to see first and foremost that a strong soul, anchored in the Lord, is what really makes you a human being.
If your soul is in a strong relationship with Me, then so will your body be.
You asked “what do You mean Lord by a strong relationship with You?”
Hmmm. A strong relationship with Me is indicated by how often you refer to Me during your day.
--- how often you call on Me to help you make healthy decisions
--- how often you thank Me for both big and small things, but more importantly the small things. (like – thank You that there is no frost on the car windows yet)
--- how often you ask Me to show you the Way, to lead you in My Ways
--- how often do you see each day as a new holy day, each moment as a new holy moment in your life – not created by you!
--- how often you let your soul keep you from anger, unforgiveness, gossip
--- how often you praise Me for the clouds, sun, sports on tv, rain, bugs.
Now that is sometimes hard because we don’t like bugs. But, just the same, I have Created them, so how do you thank Me for bugs?
Sounds silly, but truly are you not prepared to thank Me in all circumstances?
What a true measure of our relationship --- to thank and praise Me in ALL circumstances.
It is not easy, but I beg you to try, with My Help, to have thanks on your lips faster than anger on your lips.
You do not thank Me for the catastrophe, but rather you thank Me for My Love that I pour over the catastrophe.
You see, when anger leaps onto your lips, there is no mention of Me, and if there is, it is more about being angry with Me for not stopping the catastrophe.
I tell you, it is really not easy to build a relationship with Me in all circumstances unless you give Me permission to lead your soul in all circumstances.
“Lord, Lead me! Do not let this catastrophe lead me away from You.”
You see the power we give to the catastrophe? Interesting eh?
We allow the catastrophe (which is not our Creator) to create in us an ugly, unforgiving, angry heart.
We give it power, whereas really it has no power.
Yet we forget to give the True Power to God who has ALL power --- who IS All Power.
That is why we daily must turn to God to strengthen our ties to Him and thus turn to Him in all our needs.
It is really like practicing a good habit --- a habit that will keep us secure in good times and bad times.
Let us anchor our hearts to Jesus’ Sacred Heart so nothing can blow us hither, to and yon.
