(free-will choice)
Come My People. I Call, you come.
Do not think it is all about you. None of you respond unless I Call first.
I plant in your dear soul the need/desire to respond because you feel I have Called you.
Sometimes it is a planned meeting, but just the same it is not your plan that is being fulfilled, but Mine.
Come closer, closer. I want you to recognize The Planner.
You can come to adoration at an appointed time – like your hour to be there – yet I have already planned that.
Marvelous when you realize that I have taken so many decisions from you and firmly completed them for you.
We don’t think of this. We think we decided the hour --- that we would choose the best time for us to come, but I was there first!
Before you, I WAS.
So, don’t hesitate to give honor and glory to the God that is leading you through life.
Again, we may tend to give ownership of some things to God and ownership of other things to yourself. Yes, we do!
We credit God with beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
We credit ourselves with buying new boots, choosing what to wear today, saying our regular prayers, even choosing whether to be angry or not.
But I have Created you to be able to make choices --- Right?
I am here before you.
I have instilled the great free-will to choose.
But I have even asked you to take that up a notch.
So, when you decide to get up, go for a walk, talk on the phone, that you will ask Me first if that is the choice that You would choose for me.
It comes down to using our free-will, not to choose what to do ourselves, but rather to choose to ask God first what He wants you to do.
Do you see the higher purpose in this?
Then we rush to say, “Well, God is very busy and I don’t want to waste His Time on insignificant decisions that I am capable of making myself.”
And our Lord honors that, BUT, still He is offering you a higher use of your free-will!
He asks that you use your free-will first and foremost to choose Him daily as your Planner, Decision Maker, Friend and Ally in life.
Not for you to choose what to do today according to your schedule, but to choose Him, just choose Him.
“Lord, I have chosen You to be fully in charge of my day.”
Remember, I have told you before, that throughout the day, then ask Me “What next Lord?”
Now if you don’t do this, there is no punishment at all involved, yet there is a closer bond to be nurtured that will bring you and Me closer and closer.
How many of us want to get closer to God?
That is a most sincere question.
Because many of My People are most content to be just where they are now.
And, again, I repeat, I honor your free-will!
But I do not want to leave you out there using your free-will without offering you a better way of using your free-will. Do you understand?
So, today choose Me more often to enlighten and guide you through your day.
It will be the best use of your free-will, I promise.
Now, go forth into this new, holy day I have Created, asking Me more often to lead you to a fuller, more honest, more fulfilled day.
PS. Thank Me for this great gift of guidance. Again, you did not choose to have free-will, but you have accepted this free-will gift and have been Graced to use it to choose Me as your life-leader.
Go in Great Peace --- leaving all decisions in My Wondrous Hands. I Love you. Come, be more of Mine this day than yesterday.
