(the gift of genuflecting)
My People, Come to Me. Go down on bended knee and adore Me.
Show Me that you Love Me so, that you are most willing to sit with Me and adore Me.
Does this sound pompous? I hope not. I know it is not.
I want you to realize that by genuflecting and adoring Me you are putting your life in order.
It does not mean that we do not have a personal relationship, it means that you want to serve Me as I serve you and others.
Unless we are serving, down on our knees so to speak, we think we are the #1 important person and we then look to be served.
So humbling oneself in such a circumstance as genuflecting, brings you closer to Me. Do you get it?
This act of reverence does not put a distance between us but rather brings us closer to each other.
You are expressing to Me that you are most willing to follow My Lead in serving others.
We often seek to be humble, don’t we? Or maybe we do not seek to be humble!
Which are you seeking? Deep joyful humility or self-serving gratification?
Boy, that certainly is a stark difference – humility or self-gratification.
And it applies to all circumstances in life. Are you humble enough to want to be un-seen, or are you eager to want attention? Apply this question to any area of your life.
Do I want honorable mention or will I be quite satisfied if my name never gets mentioned.
Ooooh. That is a hard question for we want recognition, most of us do anyway.
And sometimes you may get your name ‘in lights’. But the measure is, am I doing it to get my name in lights and become famous, or important, or thought highly of?
It is how we approach our life and our efforts to serve. We can do great things with a humble heart, or we can do things hoping that we will certainly surely be recognized.
Do not look for your name ‘in lights’.
Pray that whatever you do that you will do it with the deepest of humility not seeking ‘the lights’ but seeking to serve your humble Lord.
Let your heart ache to be most humble.
Let it run to My Most Sacred Heart and jump into the pool of humility whenever you become distracted by the devil’s nagging voice when he points out to you that ‘that person’ is getting all the credit.
Come to Me, all who are broken, and I will give you rest.
Do you not think that you are broken when you do not practice humility?
And into all those cracks and crevices do you not think the devil will pour in his stinging balm of pride – me first, me I want to be first, me I deserve to be first.
He has no control over a humble heart. Yet, when we don’t seek to serve with humility our heart becomes most vulnerable.
So genuflecting before Me saves you from genuflecting before him! Did you ever think of it like this before?
So, thank Me for asking you to bow down before Me.
It is My Love for you that wants to give you a gift of genuflecting, bowing down before Me, thus keeping your focus on serving Me as I serve you and others, thus freeing you from bowing before the demon of demons.
So each time you genuflect or bow, thank Me for this outward gift to you that reminds your heart that you want to serve only Me.
God Bless. Have a Happy Good Friday.
This is not a time for tears, but more a time for rejoicing because of the Great Love I have for each of you.
Yes, you may cry tears of joy and gratitude that I Love you, each one of you, so much that I willingly, humbly go to the Cross to express this unconditional Love for you.
Rejoice that I am leading you through death to the Glorious Resurrection. Rejoice, again I say, Rejoice!
