Tuesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“If I desire for you to walk a different path than where you are at this present moment, I will make that known to you. Options and opportunities will arise. Your choice in selection should be the one that is centered around a prayerful life, one that is a peaceful decision and a decision completely surrendered into the palms of the hands of God.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
The earliest part of my “faith walk” was one of very little faith. In fact I did a lot of writing that I would consider to be “anti faith,” at that time, yet, God in all of His infinite wisdom used that element, the “doubt and rejection,” to lead me to the “dark night of the soul,” where the only way I could “see the light again” was through, with, and in Him.
That brand of conversion is very painful, and something I wouldn’t necessarily wish on anyone, but if God wants us, He will send “messengers” to nudge us “back on course” should we go too far astray in a way that will be undeniable to us if we’re truly paying attention. Once we “find our way” to that path, His Path, God will only need to nudge us, as opposed to “dragging us kicking and screaming” as He kind of did with me. And we will still fail Him and ourselves every hour of every day, but our awareness once we get back on “the path” will increase as our ego recedes, and we will tend to do better each day at remaining in His Will. He will often lay the path out right in front of us once we’re “dialed in,” and begin walking “in tune” with Him.
To serve, to love, and often to “apologize,” as we often overlook the needs of others thinking our way is better than His.
I’m finding though, that the truth is, the more we serve, the more we learn. The more we engage the better we understand, and the more we pray, the more “in tune” we will stay with His Will, as we walk each other through these very turbulent times. The more we “die unto ourselves,” the more we grow in Him. And “dying to myself” is often a struggle as I remember that “this isn’t about me” in every action and encounter.
As I go out to serve today, I have to constantly keep “this isn’t about me” at the forefront of my consciousness, for the minute I start making things “about me,” God will tend to show me in short order that it isn’t.
Only by letting “me” go, and bringing Him in, to my heart, mind, and soul, can I remain all in, and totally His. And I’ll “grow” whether I want to or not.
Love is all that matters in the end. May we make love our occupation, as we “walk each other Home.”❤️🙏

DAILY GROWTH
(8/22/92)
My dear one, when l ask My people to say yes and follow My Will, I am asking for their acceptance to their day to day tasks, as they are faced with them. To follow My Will entails saying “yes” to doing your best, with enthusiasm, that which is put before you on a daily basis. Days you perceive some task as trivial may be important for your SANCTITY! I want My people to know that I lay the foundation before them.
If they pay little attention to the things they encounter every day, they will be avoiding fulfilling My Will! Each person is precious, and it is the small, daily routines which are very much a part of My Will.
Do not wait for a grand gala! My people ask Me continuously “What is the Will of God?’ and say, ‘I will do whatever the Lord asks of Me.’ The Will of God is before them in their day to day activities. If there is something more I desire, then the Holy Spirit will inspire you and motivate you in other liays. First, pay heed to that which needs attending to in your life. It seems many of My people have different opinions as Âżto what the Will of My Father is for them and so, they attempt to seek after greater achievements beyond their simple daily functions in order to “follow” Me. Hence, they become discouraged and fatigued. If I desire you to walk a different path than where you are at this present moment, I will make that known to you. Options and opportunities will arise. Your choice in selection should be the one that is centered around a prayerful life, one that is a peaceful decision and a decision completely surrendered into the palms of the hands of God.
I wanted today, child, to make clear this way of ‘following the Will of God.’ The way is quite a simple way, not always easy, but fulfilling and with long lasting virtues. Do not try to develop your way which you think would be more pleasing to Me! What is pleasing to Me is when you live day to day with the challenges and opportunities to live My Will, presented for you, with acceptance, enthusiasm and peace of heart.
Thank you for your attention, My dear people, and know that I tell you that I am with you always because I am with you at every moment in all that you do daily, in My will, in My heart, in My love! Do not seek after Me in places other than that which is put before you daily. Be at peace and never forget the truth of My love. Ad Deum.

Sunday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Accept everything with joy and allow My love to guide you. I will guide you to perfection. Avoid sin and that which distracts you from prayer and love! First and foremost, seek God. If something leads you from prayer, or does not fit in your prayer life, then do not seek after it. I direct you through every part of your being, and you must use the grace of your senses (as I direct) to keep your body in the grace of God’s working.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
My first “full time job” was “custodial.” Cleaning up a hospital kitchen during the day. Taking out the trash, all that. It’s a job I thought was “below me,” but it was also a time in my life when my ego was much greater than my actual level of skill, and I was in fact, wrong.(nothing unusual here) As I perform tasks today, I realize how much that “wax on, wax off” experience prepared me to do the more rudimentary tasks that I still get to do today. From deep cleaning to the most efficient use of a mop and bucket, I wouldn’t trade that experience for most of the “college” I went through that taught me much less.
Today, we release so many “proud” individuals from “college,” who really don’t know how to do much. We turn architects and engineers loose on society who are “programmed” to perform certain tasks, but are clueless as to the rudiments of what they’re “designing.” They’ve never turned a screw, hammered a nail, or more than that, cleaned up after a job.
Today, I find most of my “titles” are in fact “custodial,” whether it’s owning an electrical company, or doing God’s Work. Remaining “small,” rather than aspiring to be “CEO,” for even though most of my peers(other business owners)consider my title “CEO,” I prefer to call my title “custodian,” for it implies that something is in my “care,” as opposed to “directorship,” or “ownership,” for everything that surrounds us belongs to God, and my duties are in fact “custodial.”
We grow up watching “CEOs” like Mr. Slate and Mr. Spacely “fire” Fred or George when they “bungle” something, exuding “authority and power” over “all they survey,” but as “custodian” God calls us to be “little. Acting in humility and allowing others to “fail,” or “wax on wax off,” so that they might attain valuable experience from a more rudimentary perspective.
There’s a meme going around that talks about “treating the janitor and the CEO with the “same level of respect,” but we should never underestimate the “janitor,” for he(or she) is often the “smart person in the room.”
We often look down on the “farmer,” but who knows more about how nature works than a farmer? When farmers talk, I listen, because there aren’t a whole lot of them around these days, and they know better than anyone how to work “God’s green earth.” Particularly the Amish, as they tend to operate more “off grid,” and don’t feel the need to rely on “authority figures” to tell them what to do or how to live.”
If we’re living life from that place of humility, letting go and letting God be “the voice to which we respond,” then we can rest assured that we will be working in His Will, and not ours. Letting others know that God is in fact the CEO, and we are merely the custodians, as we come together and work in His Kingdom that it might be a welcoming place for all. Only in this way, can we keep our hearts, souls, and minds “all in and totally His,” with humility and love. ❤️🙏

IN GOD’S HANDS
(8/19/92)
My dear one, My people are seeking ways to belong to God, but there is really only one way. Utilize that which He gives to you, and everything will lead you to live in union with the Trinity. Everything is in the hand of My Father, and all will be well with you if you trust in Him.
Accept everything with joy and allow My love to guide you. I will guide you to perfection. Avoid sin and that which distracts you from prayer and love! First and foremost, seek God. If something leads you from prayer, or does not fit in your prayer life, then do not seek after it. I direct you through every part of your being, and you must use the grace of your senses (as I direct) to keep your body in the grace of God’s working.
Leave everything in the hands of God and be at peace.
Value that which I offer to you. If you abandon yourselves to My will, I will help you, even if you feel you have lost My support! Acknowledge that you cannot be holy through your own efforts!!
My dear people, I speak of love, as I continue to love you and embrace your being. I can turn your darkness into light at a moment’s notice. Follow through in trusting and living in faith. You may have visions or revelations or interior voices, but beneath lies perfection of faith which is to be shared with all. Their faith contains these graces, since all who know Me, live in Me and in everything. All graces and virtues are revealed in order to be inspirational to others.
Look to your day and the events with which you are faced.
Seek My Will by living simply, focusing on loving and trusting that all is in God’s hands. I am truly guiding you if you trust that I am. This is self-abandonment to the Providence of God.
All will be well by your trust and efforts to be self-giving in love. There is no need to chase after the things you think are necessarily beyond your reach. That which is My Will will be within reach, and doors to the path will be opened for you to walk through.
Be at peace and live, as you are in your love, in Me.
Ad Deum.

Thursday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“The pleasures of the self must be conquered and, due to your human natures, can only be conquered in the midst of pain! Then all you conquer is for the glory of God. Be careful, especially as you make changes, that your changes are for your well-being in My Kingdom, and not for your well being in the world. It will make a difference, at the least moment of expectation, when God searches your soul for purity from grandiosity!”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
“When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”- Matthew 6:3
“This isn’t about me.”
It’s a thing I write down often lately, as it’s really tricky navigating the people in this world, trying to be helpful “making the world a better place,” and keeping my ego in check at the same time.
When I learned to play a guitar and sing, I had aspirations of fame, fortune, prestige and honor, but God had a very different plan, which was to use the gifts He gave me to serve Him in “little ways.” And the truth is, there’s much more interior satisfaction in helping others to shine than there is in making it “about me.” I would never trade what I have now with what I wanted then, and I suppose I am very blessed in that sense.
It’s often that we need to recruit, and recognize other people when we’re rendering service to others, and if we’re doing that right as leaders, we’re allowing others to shine, and receding away from the limelight, and allowing God to work through them that they might live fully in Him. Remembering that God sees all, and knows all, and what other people think of us is none of our business.
I belong to one service organization that’s really big on “recognition” and plaques and trophies that feed the ego as opposed to the soul. What I’d really rather have is to not have to sit through the “dinner” involved, and be “rewarded” with some free time and not have to endure all of that “pomp and circumstance.” To allow the service itself to be the “reward.” Jesus lives in the souls we touch. Not in the trophies and accolades we receive after the fact. Our service is eternal, and the “personal recognition” will die with us in most cases. It’s often better that way, because the more “highly recognized” we are, the harder we can fall with even the slightest failure, as there will be jealous souls out there who will turn on us if for no reason than to bolster their own ego. God knows what we do and who we are, and that’s all that will ever really matter in truth. Every time I try to do something to “raise myself above others,” God finds a way to remind me, that this “isn’t about me.”
When we operate from the ego, God will typically call, us out, and often “embarrass” us, as the truth of our motives is revealed. If we operate from the soul, all service will be rendered with love, and we all know that “God is Love.” I was probably about 4 or 5 when a Sunday School teacher taught us that one.
Jesus doesn’t care about how we shine. Only how we serve, and if we’re busy getting our “hands dirty,” we won’t have time to worry about our “selves.”
Only by immersion in the service itself, can we remain all in and totally His. All else is of the ego, and will die when we do. It’s not likely anyone will remember who I am in 100 years, and I’m more than ok with that. I just pray that the souls I touch and the service I render carries a lasting impact, as we walk each other through this thing called life.❤️🙏

MOTIVES (8/14/92)
My dear one, My words today to My people are few. l want them to be aware that the enthusiasm behind their motives is great, but to caution them that they check themselves that their motives are not for themselves but, instead, for God’s glory.
Enlighten your mind and spirit through enthusiasm but Be careful that your motives are not self-pleasing through vanity, instead of pleasing for the heavens. Do not be overburdened by work you undertake for My sake, nor allow it to trouble you. Remember My promise to you, and this will be your consolation.
Sorrows and burdens will come and they will pass. Place your trust in Me. You will never be stricken very long. All trials and sufferings end. They will pass by more quickly than you may realize. Most importantly, continue to cross check yourself that your actions and way of life are ones which affirm My love. Many start out enthused to conquer. Few realize that the way to conquer is to be conquered first by God.
The pleasures of the self must be conquered and, due to your human natures, can only be conquered in the midst of pain! Then all you conquer is for the glory of God. Be careful, especially as you make changes, that your changes are for your well-being in My Kingdom, and not for your well being in the world. It will make a difference, at the least moment of expectation, when God searches your soul for purity from grandiosity!
I love My people, make no mistake, and My love is not in vain. What I do for you, I do for the heavens. What is accomplished in the heavens is accomplished for you! Love and peace, My little one. Ad Deum.

Tuesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“You must be beautiful inside in order to be beautiful outside!
Only He, who has created you, knows what you need most to make you beautiful through purification. It is like heating metals in fire to make them into perfected instruments. I use people and various other sources, all related in one form or another to you, to purify you. Your response dictates your progress.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
I really hope to come to a place in this lifetime where I’m no longer cursing people on my head. My appearance on the surface is always one of love, but people at large can truly be so devoid of logic and conscience that my brain segues into a place of darkness pretty often during every waking hour.
So every day I reflect on what Padre Pio said which was “pray, hope, and don’t worry.” The first two are easy. It’s the “don’t worry” part that I most struggle with.
That’s why Jesus, as the “fire” we walk through on the daily is tiny compared to the sacrifice He made for us. The lessons he gave us through every aspect of His life are timeless and priceless, and He does give us a place to deliver our worries and concerns. People will always disappoint us, but the more we rest in Jesus, the more pure we will be when we carry ourselves out into the world with Him by our sides. And He will purify us, often whether we ask for it or not.
There’s an old song that goes “one day at a time, sweet Jesus,” and if we keep Him close, we will in fact grow a little more in Him every day, and His walk with us will grow closer as we bring Him to souls and souls to Him. And those souls we bring to Him will also bring us closer to Him, as we work to make His Kingdom stronger.
As Jesus says, we are all “novices,” and only He can show us the “way to perfection,” yet the only way to perfection is by dying to ourselves and giving all to Him.
The more of our hearts, souls, and time we give to Him, the closer we will be to His perfection, and the greater our sense of peace will be when the time comes to leave this earth, and like a campsite, we should hope to leave this earth, at least our immediate surroundings, in a better condition than that in which we found them.
I pray that we keep our hearts and souls open to Him like that from this day forward, for the only part of eternity which we have any say at all about is the part we’re living in at this very moment. May we keep our hearts and souls all in and totally His as best we can from this moment on, for our eternity depends on it.❤️🙏

NOVICES (8/13/92)
My little child, troubles will come and will pass, and they will move in and out of your path like a tide that rolls in at full moon; but do not despair. If you knew the glory to come, you would not complain of your burden now. Even if you look at the saints in the past, they have all now gained the glory of heaven, but suffered much trouble and difficulties in their mortal lives.
Take all your shortcomings, for one difficulty offered with love and faithful commitment to Me is the greatest grain of the harvest. You know I have kept a watchful eye over you and notice your NOVICE actions of despair. I keep watch over all My dear ones in commitment of My love for you. Now, at moments when you feel trapped and confused, you lose sight of calling on Me. You submerge yourself in self pity.
Take pride in your God! Be silent. Be patient and endure all burden, for it is delegated through the hand of God. Nothing will happen that God’s hand is not also there.
You must be beautiful inside in order to be beautiful outside!
Only He, who has created you, knows what you need most to make you beautiful through purification. It is like heating metals in fire to make them into perfected instruments. I use people and various other sources, all related in one form or another to you, to purify you. Your response dictates your progress.
All my people are novices in this life, no matter what age, no matter what experience or wisdom is given. You will never achieve the experience of knowledge of the mystical Kingdom until you dwell in My house, face to face in ecstatic union with the Trinity. Even your most well known scholars are novices, for no one knows perfection until total union exists of the Divinity in each of you.
So once again, I ask you to be patient. Go slowly and trust in Me. It is at these moments of hardship that your commitment in faith and the direction of your love is most needed to be tempered and focused on Me. You are important vessels of love in this world. Take courage and do not despair, for what awaits you in heaven will overcome all moments of hardship now. Believe in Me!

“My people have known one way for so long, it is time for them to look within and to allow peace to dwell there. Peace of the world comes from peace within. Peace is harmony and union with the self, the soul.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
One doesn’t have to scroll very far through Facebook to realize that most of the population really doesn’t get out much. We prefer to repeat prescribed media crafted narratives ad nauseam that carry little basis in truth or fact, and drive ourselves half crazy as we obsess over half truths and repeat propaganda that leads ourselves and others to dark places whether it be willingly or not. Our egos lead us to “speak” when “listening” is how we learn. We try to be a “voice of authority and wisdom,” when we really should be removing ourselves from all that is not of God, and listening to His Voice, for as archaic as they often seem, the scriptures which carry His Word, do in fact hold the keys to His Truth, if we only but allow ourselves to view them in “worldly context,” that we might understand where and how we’re failing as a society. And we as a society, have not only led ourselves right back into Sodom and Gomorrah, we fight, bicker and argue for the “right” to remain there, even though our promiscuity is pretty much the cause of every social disorder in which we suffer. I’m just as much, if not more to blame for this, as my own past sins have led me to lead others astray, and pretty near everything we watch on TV involves some kind of “quest to get laid.” And even we as devout Christians cheer this behavior on. It’s the “elephant in the room” that both “parties” tend to ignore, because who wants to “rock that boat.”
We also get too wrapped up in everyone’s “feelings,” as we become enablers of sin, and pretend to be virtuous as society collapses around us because we avoid truth like plague. We allow ourselves to hide behind a narrative, rather than to draw ourselves closer to God, where eternal peace does in fact lie in His Truth if we only but keep ourselves close to Him, that He might keep us aligned and in check, that we might actually “go out and sin no more,” as Jesus instructs us in John 8:11. Yet sin we do.
How do we “turn off society” and immerse ourselves in Him? I, personally, give Him my full attention for about three hours a day, whether it be through writing, prayer, or some form of service to Him. Those “three hours,” while not enough to keep my soul in the “peaceful state” that I desire, do give me a “platform” in a sense, that grounds me, hopefully suspends my ego, and carries me to a place of deeper inner peace than where I was before. To hang out with prayerful friends, as so many of you are, for even those of us who dwell in poverty have much to teach us, for they are often way closer to God than those of us who often “fake it” through life, bolstered in the material sense, but compromised in the spiritual sense.
“Peace within” can only come from “worldly detachment,” and the only place to rest once we “detach,” is in Him, and in His Truth. Truth that we must not only speak, but truth that we must live, because if we’re talking it without walking it, we render nothing but lies.
Our Lord tells Gianna below-
“If you sin, mourn in sorrow. A humble heart and act of contrition will bear the hope of forgiveness. You regain the grace, once lost, and are enveloped in My holy, loving em-brace. Do not allow demons of guilt, bitterness, self pity to overpower you.”
Humility will ultimately take us there. Ridding ourselves of ego can be hard work, and I’m still very much a novice in this, for I still allow society to poke, prod, and influence me way more than I should. I hope and pray that my awareness at least helps me to get there. To the place of peace, that might allow myself and those I touch, to keep our souls all in and totally His, for He is the Prince of Peace. There is no peace, without Him.❤️🙏

FEELINGS
(8/12/92)
My dear one, day by day, as you focus on My love within you and the love you exhibit in love of Me, you will embrace peace, and peace will become your way.
Each day I invite My people to connect with their feelings. I invite them to feel their own feelings, and then, to grasp My love, which is the backbone to any advancement in their development.
My love is with you, and without emotion in your being!
Therefore, if you look within to meet your feelings, you can motivate them positively to do good. The core of love is faith, and faith is not a feeling. It is a commitment. Peace comes into existence when you are in union and harmony with yourself in My love.
My people have known one way for so long, it is time for them to look within and to allow peace to dwell there. Peace of the world comes from peace within. Peace is harmony and union with the self, the soul.
I grace My people with feelings, and My grace is a precious gem. You must put aside anything that would stand in the way of My grace. Seek the quiet for My love to dwell, a place for yourself in which you keep focused on your feelings and direct them in a loving, healing, powerful way. This is where freedom exists. Confidence in God, through My love, solidifies the stance of your identity in Him!
If you sin, mourn in sorrow. A humble heart and act of contrition will bear the hope of forgiveness. You regain the grace, once lost, and are enveloped in My holy, loving embrace. Do not allow demons of guilt, bitterness, self pity to overpower you. You are My creation, and in you dwells My love and My peace. All you need do is recognize My love, My peace and embrace Me through love and union of yourself in Me. It is not as difficult as you think.
It is self pity to think, ‘I will never experience God’s love.’ Not so! Not so! You have My power, if I dwell in you. Put aside these falsehoods of your created self conscience, and live in the true consciousness of your being in Me. There You will find the abyss of UNION AND THE PEACE OF LOVE.
Take the time now to change your ways of deception. You need time to change a way of life. You knew no other! Do not wait for wonders of heaven and hope you will one day just wake up!! You are given the grace. I am with you to support you, to help you face the illusions of interpersonal fears; but I give you the authority to make the decision to end the confusion of your troubled hearts, and turn them into hearts of self-unity in My love! Make the choice and commence the walk. My door is open. Now you must walk through it. Healing is but a step away.
Peace and love. Ad Deum.
