JUST BEFORE I COME TO YOU In these special moments before you receive Me in the Holy Eucharist, I want you to concentrate on My Love for you and how much My Love does for you each day. As I come into your heart, I bring My Supernatural Gifts of love, Peace, wisdom, etc. I bring you just what you need for today for I alone know what your day will bring to you. In My Loving Presence, I soothe your despairing hearts, I challenge gifted minds, I lift desperate souls, and I enable you to live in My Love for yet another day. Be mindful of My Love. It is freely given to you so that you may do My Work today. That is why I call you here to Me each day. I want you to freely choose to accept My Love into your heart and be filled with My Most Holy Spirit each day. In that mutual exchange of My Freely giving Myself to you and your free acceptance of Me as your loving God for the day, We intermingle human and supernatural in creating a new day as a mystery of My Love. What an exciting event! I trust you enough to say, "Come to Me. I want to gift you with My Eternal Love today." You say, "Here I am, Lord. Give Me your orders just for today. I promise to follow them and accept what You permit to happen to me today." Each day then is a “Tabula Rasa.” We write the script together in My Love. Your selfish ego has become sublimated to My Will. We act as One for the day. I look forward to this exchange as much as you do. So come to Me now. Let's exchange love freely. Be with Me. Love Me as I love you. All will be well. As enamored of Me that you are, so, too, am I enamored of you. Your faith-filled dedication to Me is so pleasing to Me that I cannot help but speak to your heart about My Love for you. It is no accident that you chose to stay with Me a few minutes more today. Your heart simply responded to My Call. That is how we shall live for all time, My Friend. We have an open line to each other. What is even more special about these extra moments this morning is that there is no "emergency" drawing you here. You just wanted to linger in My Love. So, My Friend, continue with your day. You know We are always together. We are One. Have a special day! MY WORD OF WISDOM Being with Me in My Way and in My Time is a unique way to exist. It just is. There is no beginning, middle, or end. That is because I Am. To be with Me is to live in the I Am. That is not as unachievable as it sounds. It requires building the strength of your will so that it blocks all distractions and enables you just "to be" with Me. Trusting Me totally is the only path to this being with Me. It enables you to let go of all concerns and live in the knowledge that I have all of your concerns in My Hands. It means understanding that, because I love you fully, I will never hurt you. It means accepting My Challenge to come to Me, even when things seem impossible. It means leaving your worries outside of the door to the chapel because you know somehow I make possible the impossible. There is no more need to lose sleep or worry about the ultimate outcome. Letting go is the most difficult thing to do because you need to feel in control. You need a sense of your own power in troubling situations. When you turn these concerns over to Me, it frees you to feel My Power within you. It enables you to know My Power is at work in any and all situations. It states that the outcome will always be in your best interest for I can do nothing but work in your eternal best interest. That's faith, My Friend. That’s faith. It means sometimes going against your own instincts. It means holding off when you want to step in. It means listening rather than speaking as directed by your thoughts - not Mine. How do you know if words are Mine and not yours? That's easy. When you see the salutary impact of the words you speak, when you say something and wonder where the words came from, when you feel Peaceful during and after speaking, then you know the words are Mine. For it is at those times that My Most Holy Spirit is speaking through you. Sometimes, you are saying things when you had decided not to speak, and you get angry because you did not wish to say anything. Then, you are amazed at the positive impact of your words. Those are Spirit-filled moments where I am at work healing pain. Through your words, I am at work breaking down walls. This is not something you can plan or force. It just happens as My Sanctifying Grace moves you to speak My Healing Words in the most difficult situation. If you have experienced this, you know what I mean. It is My Gift of the word of wisdom. It is just the right message to be delivered at the right time. It is My Gift of Peace in the midst of turmoil. This gift flows when you let go and let Me run your life. It cannot flow when you are in the way. So, pray that I enable you to get your ego out of the way so that My Spiritual Healing can flow through you. At those moments, when this happens, you become My Instrument of Peace. Are you willing to reach out for this gift? You will really have to stretch. You have to risk being vulnerable to My Love. You have to empty you of you and then be filled with Me. It's a way of life you have to work hard to acquire. It doesn't just happen. It could if I willed it, but I prefer to have you work at freely giving up yourself to Me so that I can then work through you in My Time, in My Way, in My Grace. Then, you grow in My Love and permanent healing takes place in a strained relationship. That's the outgrowth of being with Me. These words, as you write them, are My Gift to you in response to you just being with Me for an extended period of time. You got yourself out of the way. So, I have been able to speak My Words through you for all to hear. That's faith, trust, love, selflessness, and openness all rolled up into one. It triggers an outburst of My Loving, Grace-Filled Words for all to read. It is no accident I speak through you. I have trained you to be with Me. As you have grown in My Love and can just be with Me for extended timeframes, I can speak through you in extended timeframes. It is My Gift to you for choosing to just be with Me. This is easy to describe. This is hard to do. But, My Friend, you are doing it quite well and quite often. What a marvelous student you are. LET THERE BE LIGHT When you walk a tightrope in life, there is always the danger of falling. When it is pitch darkness and you cannot see the rope, it is almost a certainty you will fall. That is the way it is when you walk the tightrope without Me. Darkness begets falling. Falling begets oblivion. When My Light enters into your life, you find that the tightrope is really a wide bridge, and there is no danger of falling, unless you extinguish the light. Now, wouldn't that be foolish to put yourself in such danger? That's what you do when you sin. The light goes out and oblivion beckons. My Angels are like fireflies giving you some way to find My Light Switch once again. If you reach out for the switch...Voila! Let there be light. If you do not reach out, My Celestial Fireflies fly away, leaving you alone in your self-chosen desolate darkness, waiting to fall further and further into oblivion. I am the usher in your theater of life. I can turn on My Flashlight and enable you to avoid mis-stepping. All you have to do is ask for My Help. I am always near enough to hear your cry. Try Me! Unless you like darkness! FOLLOW ALONG ONE TOPIC AT A TIME The words for this month focus on ’CONSCIOUSLY ACCEPTING HIS PRESENCE.” The Words were selected from words received over several years..
