20/18 10:50 am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament
(sour lemon)
Come quietly into My Presence.
Come boisterously into My Presence.
Come willingly or hesitant into My Presence.
Come into My Presence.
Once you are in My Presence I urge you to be still and quiet
so you can hear My Love Words to you.
In all the noise and distraction around each of us there has
to be silent reflective time to come aside and to get to know the Maker of
Noise and the Maker of Silence.
The noise we sometimes hear is jubilant or maybe
distractive.
But I have Created noise and your ears to hear noise, so
thank Me, the Noise Maker.
You see, that is stepping aside from the noise to thank the
Noise Maker!
Did you think of it like that?
Usually, all we want to do is get away from some loud
noises, yet in our endeavor to get rid of the noise do we thank the Noise
Maker.
I do not mean the person making the noise that is
distracting you, but the Maker of Noise Himself.
So, apply that to other things that may distract or disturb
you, whether it is a noise, smell, taste, touch that is caught by your senses,
yet disturbs your senses.
Do we ever thank God for the sour lemon?
We may thank Him for the sweet candy, but not for the sour
lemon.
But why would we not thank Him for Creating our taste buds
that can pick up that sour taste?
Because He Created our taste buds for that purpose!
Interesting isn’t it that we thank Him for the beautiful
sunset, but not for the black rain filled clouds.
Think of all the positive things we thank God for and then
think of all the negative things we don’t thank Him for.
Is He responsible for both?
Did He only Create beautiful sunsets, ocean views, delicate
flowers, cute animals, hard sounds?
So what do we claim belong to God’s handiwork and what do we
feel He possibly could not have, would not have Created.
Just simply thank Him for ALL CREATION.
Don’t ask Me for an explanation of why “this” or why
“that”.
Apply your soul to thank Me for all the “this” and “that’s”
that aren’t explainable, yet fall under My Creative Hands.
So, do not waste your precious time trying to figure out why
“this” why “that”.
Just go right to the Creator of “ALL this” and “ALL that”
and thank Him for His Creation.
We waste time trying to figure things out, when all we need
do is spend time with the Lord who has the answers to all our questions.
