REVIEW --- #724 from Sept. 14, 2017

 #724   Thurs. Sept. 14/17, 4 pm, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

 

Come, O Come Emmanuel. 

 If I come, will you let Me capture your heart and fill it full of My Good Stuff? 

 OR will you shy away and say you are not worthy?

 So is that why you don’t often say to Me “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” because you don’t want Me in charge of the ALL of you?

 So, how do you invite Me into your life? 

 Maybe you ask Me to bless something here, something there?

 Do you save Me for special occasions, though isn’t every breath a special occasion? 

 You had not thought of it like that before had you?

 Maybe that is why you do not repeat and repeat “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”  because you don’t want Me around and in charge all the time. 

 What disturbs you about My Presence? 

 Do I intimidate, do I scold, do I demand? 

 Really, I only come to Love and Love abundantly.

 I don’t ask you to change your ways. 

 I do ask that you will invite Me in to help open your heart to receive My Love Force. 

 But do you have an inkling, a suspicion that once My Love invades your heart you will change? 

 And don’t you want to change for the better?

 It is a mystery why we seem to want to stay clear of Jesus.

 Don’t give Him too much in roads into your life.

 Sift through what He is offering and then only take that which seems to satisfy you.

 Ok, then, I will let you start with that sifting exercise. 

 I will just continue to offer you bits and pieces more of Me. 

 I will wait patiently till you invite the ALL of Me in, all at once. 

 I want to be in your heart, so any little slice of your heart that you will, will suffice – for the time being. 

 Can you see yourself and the energy you have to expend to keep ALL of Me out?  But you know you can’t. 

 Because I Created you.  You are Mine to Love with great abundance.
