#703 Mon. July 31/17, at home 5pm (ho-hum)
Hear the sirens?
Send Me there.
No, rather come there spiritually with Me and surround it all with Love and compassion.
Do not falter to bring Me into all situations.
Have you brought Me in as you are doing the rosaries?
I did not hear you ask Me to join you! Ask Me now and I will join you.
Such simple tasks that we forget to include Me in.
There is no sin here, yet there is no growing closer.
It is almost done in a ho-hum, relaxing fashion that we don’t think I would like to help.
Put aside all that has happened today and thank Me, take time to thank Me, take time to thank Me profusely and most sincerely for this day.
Take the time, make an extra effort to come aside and thank Me.
You may have thanked Me throughout the day, but this is just an extra special request to come aside and BE with Me.
Don’t let the evil one separate you, even minutely, from our getting together.
He will even say ‘well you said at the start of the day that you were grateful. How many times does God need to hear it?’
You see how he separates us.
He questions My Need for thanks and your need to thank.
He knows I do not need it and he also knows you need to do it more than often, thus keeping his evil whispers at bay.
He might even try to convince you that too many thank-yous make you look foolish, and whose pride wants to hear that you look foolish.
His tongue and thoughts are not My Ways!
So, as he tries to influence you, he will use our most sinful pride.
He knows we have pride and he loves to play on that weaker part of each of us.
So, say thank you 10x a day, maybe even 20x a day, but no more because he wants you convinced that God will think you are acting too, too foolish. That even God thinks it is stupid for you to say thank you over and over again.
But that is NOT God’s thought.
God wants you present with Him at all times and He gives you all the time needed to be ever so grateful for your blessings otherwise He knows your pride will certainly take over and make you think that you are doing this --- all this good stuff, on your own, under your own power.
So, the more you thank God, the less likelihood of pride getting control of you.
It is not “Thank You God for making me such a nice person.” But rather “Thank You God for making me.”
“Thank You God for inspiring me to love as you would have me love.”
“Thank You God for whispering in my ear to hold my tongue and not gossip.”
“Thank You God for making me in Your image and likeness.”
“Thank You God for teaching me how to pray.”
“Thank You God for all the things I can see and touch right now.”
Never weary of thanking God for He has provided it ALL.
You need not focus the thank you on you, but rather on God the Creator.
Go now in Peace to love and serve the Lord --- with thanks galore.
