Love Yourself Dearly

Saturday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“There is a difference between loving yourself and being self-centered! You need to empty yourself continually abandoning yourself to the Will of God. Do not chase after the things of this world. Chase only heavenly desires, for everything will perish that is of the world. The more you strip yourself of your own will, the more of yourself you can sincerely give to one another.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

Many of us tend to grow up in some semblance of “survival mode,” as the adults around us aren’t perfect, and the other kids around us are often even farther from perfect than the adults. We can often develop “character flaws” that we might have to “grow out of” if we expect to become better humans. Things like jealousy, gossip, putting down others to try to make ourselves look good, passive aggression, and other things that we wouldn’t gravitate to if not for our own insecurity. I’ve done and been all of these things, and often wince and tremble when reflecting upon times when I handled things poorly in weak attempts at keeping my own ego intact. Trying to “raise myself” at the expense of others.
Fortunately I’ve been blessed to have been able to apologize for much of that behavior, and there are still probably emotional wounds I’ve inflicted upon people that I may never be able to apologize for. For those, I can only forgive myself as I ask God to forgive me, that I might constantly work to make amends for my own past “errors in judgment.”
Meanwhile, how DO we rise from the ashes of our own narcissism?
I think the meme below sums it up pretty nicely, and if we allow God to accompany us as we pour our hearts and souls into love for others, somewhere and somehow we will manage to find ourselves in a place of love for ourselves. Real love. Not some facade that we have to try to maintain in order to “save face” when we’re being less than God calls us to be. If we love others, we can better love ourselves, and if we’re truly loving ourselves, it’s also much easier to love others. And in this love, our personal growth expands like a snowball rolling down a hill, and our “work in progress” rapidly and readily serves His Kingdom that our example might be light for others that they might also grow.
We can never reach true happiness without self love. It isn’t possible. What we can do is control our environment. Rejecting gossip when it hits our ears. Distancing ourselves from the “bullies” in our lives who can’t exist without chaos. Not allowing ourselves to be “sucked in” to the hate propaganda that our media and political parties spew in their “quest for power.” And first and foremost, being humble, for without humility, we are nothing. Is “humble opinion” an oxymoron? Probably, because while I might use those words “in my humble opinion,” I rarely come across an opinion that’s actually humble. And upon reflection, I need to realize that my “opinion” probably isn’t all that humble either.
We better love ourselves by pouring love into others. It’s a no brainer equation, that expands God’s Heavenly Kingdom as we expand ourselves through growth in Our Lord. Only through deep deep love, can we keep our hearts and souls all in, and totally His. Always a “work in progress.”❤️🙏

LOVE YOURSELF DEARLY
(8/1/92)
My dear one do not be caught up in yourself because it
will only hinder your growth. There is a difference between loving yourself and being self-centered! You need to empty yourself continually abandoning yourself to the Will of God. Do not chase after the things of this world. Chase only heavenly desires, for everything will perish that is of the world. The more you strip yourself of your own will, the more of yourself you can sincerely give to one another.
Let go of those things you hold bound. Let yourself be free, and you will be free of heart! Then all your oppressions will vanish. Your fear will disappear, and you will experience the joy of purity and intimacy. Do not worry what people say about you. Remember, I can deliver you from any circumstance caused to harm you.
There is no need to worry what someone will say about you. Everyone must answer to Me for their actions. Anyone who hurts you will only hurt themselves. Do not waste energy on those who harbor hatred, and are your enemy because of envy and jealousy. If you exert your energy trying to receive the acceptance of your enemies by pleasing them, you will always lose! They will only sidetrack and use you for their gain. This is not an act of mercy for you!
Be giving to those open to receive. Be giving to those who cannot give. Be giving to those who are not willing to receive, but have a clean heart. Avoid the evil. I will handle their unfair and deceitful actions. Never be afraid of what others say to you. Simply keep your focus on Me. Do not do worry if you experience defeat. I will take care of you and deliver you to freedom.
Trust in Me. You wish to trust in yourself over trusting in Me. Those who love the things of the world apart from Me gain nothing, and do not know anything of truth or wisdom.
I am with you in all of your suffering. Persist, and do not give up! Stand firm in your trust of Me over the trust of yourself. I want you to love yourself dearly. I want you to embrace yourself. There is no vision that is of such great importance that it would supersede the love I want you to have of yourself. In this way, you love Me. I want this for all My people. I do not desire for you to be self-centered, seeking and chasing the things of this world, but I do desire you to love yourself purely and keep me in sight, surrendering and continually emptying yourself in order to follow the way of love, truth, hope and mercy.
Bless you, My dear people. Be at peace.

Friday Truth in Deep Live🤗❤️🙏

“Just be in Me. Rest, work in the patience of love, and give to Me all of yourself. This is what I desire the most from My people. I desire their intimacy in simplicity.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

To live a life that’s “all in, and totally His,” takes way less in the way of “effort” than it does “submission.” Or as the old adage goes; “letting go and letting God.”
Patience, humility, and peeling back the layers of all that is not of Him so all that’s left is love. And I can guarantee that if we keep our hearts and souls in that mode, abundant graces will follow.
First and foremost, we must tune out “the world,” and tune into Him and the precious gifts He has given us. We must learn to see souls as God does without the social encumbrances that cause us to judge. The false constructs like “black, white, skinny, fat, gorgeous, ugly, good or bad. False labels we apply without even beginning to see the soul that lies therein.
We’re a society that lives on “labels,” but at the end of the day, labels are merely tools of the ego, and have no value outside of the facade we tend to become enamored with when it’s all we allow ourselves to see.
God has no use for those labels, and neither should we, but our tendency is to use them to bolster our ego, and bolster our egos we do, especially in the collective sense when we become immersed in “group think,” and carry society down wormholes of falsehood that tend to be destructive by the mere nature of their existence.
As I keep repeating ad nauseam, we’re not going to change anyone or anything with our “opinion.” The only value our opinion has is to Satan, as we keep using said “opinion” to foster hatred because it appeases our egos.
Our only way to affect change is through love, and if we serve others with love, and focus on that, whether at home or out in the world, God will walk us through every encounter and interaction with the grace we need to fulfill His Will and to further do our “little parts” to help bring His Kingdom to fruition as He has proclaimed.
Happy Friday, precious souls. It’s a good day to go out and love someone. If you see em, find a way to love them, even if it’s only with a mere glance. It’s a beautiful way to live, and you’ll ultimately be glad you did. For all eternity.❤️🙏

PROVIDENCE
(7/30/92)
My dear one, allow yourself to rest and to give yourself with your whole heart to Me. Seek always to surrender to My Will. The secret of progress is patience.
Nothing will come to pass unless it is permitted by me.
Everything shall be in accordance to Divine Providence.
Therefore, put your mind at ease and rest in My love.
Acknowledge My justice in My works and give to Me your love. Have patience and take courage. Your comfort will come to you in proper time. Simply give to Me now all of your attention. I want all of you.
Trust in Me, and you shall receive the counsel profitable for your inheritance in My Kingdom. It is not necessary for you always to be preoccupied at every minute.
Just be in Me. Rest, work in the patience of love, and give to Me all of yourself. This is what I desire the most from My people. I desire their intimacy in simplicity.
Speak to Me simply, in detail. Tell Me the depth of your inner thoughts. Treat Me as your most secret companion, a companion in Whom you relay all your secrets!
It is most pleasing for Me to receive from you. Nothing means more to Me than to receive ALL OF YOU. I am a patient God. I am patiently awaiting My comfort from you. Give to Me what is Mine. You are Mine! I will make you forget your pains and give you the joy of everlasting happiness.
Do not place your peace in your brethren, but in Me, for only I can give you peace. You will become twisted in an unsettling affair if you look to please others for their hap-piness, instead of looking to Me to grace them with a bond of love. Without Me, no friendship is of any strength! For friendship to have a strong bond, it must have a true bond of love through a bond to Me.

The Only Way

Thursday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏

“I humbled Myself in obedience to My Father so that you would overcome your pride in My humility. Continually, you must resign to My Will and overcome your will and pride! Bear with patience for the sake of God the subjections of treatment from others. Bless those who maltreat you. Give to all who beg from you.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

How do we behave towards people we happen to just “run into” in our lives? From the person in the grocery store parking lot, or the checkout, to the homeless person, the child, or the elderly. The folks on Facebook who spread love or anger depending on their temperament or disposition. The people we see in church, or at work, as we try to walk in the Light of God. Whether it’s the doctor who heals us, or the custodian who takes out our trash, God doesn’t place these people in our paths every day just so we can walk past them with indifference. With seven plus billion people on this planet, it’s become hard for me not to see each and every interaction as a very precious gift. That God has placed “us” together in any given moment is never without purpose, for every loving glance has the potential to be carried out into this dark world with God’s healing power behind it.
Bringing God’s Heavenly Light to this world is a calling like no other, and if we go out with intention, and treat each soul as such, we can only be doing good, and if we’re doing it right, our souls will be happier every single time we engage with another human.
Many will walk past us and completely ignore us, at least as far as we can see, but we may never know what light those folks might have absorbed in the brief moment that we showed them love, even if it was just in the form of a passing glance. They won’t likely remember the person who loved them in that instant, but often even the slightest spark of love coming to a person who doesn’t feel loved, can change their soul, even if it’s just a tiny change. It’s another “quarter in the well of life,” and those quarters add up.
I pray that we all go out today with this in mind. To love with intent, as that love will fill our own souls just as it fills others. To wave and say “hi,” or “good morning,” not with just our lips, but with our eyes, our hearts, and the cores of our souls, that every soul we touch sees the opportunity to love, in a way that allows all of us to remain all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

THE ONLY WAY
(7/29/92)
My dear one, listen intently and hear the words I speak.
For those who have ears to hear, let them hear.
I humbled Myself in obedience to My Father so that you would overcome your pride in My humility. Continually, you must resign to My Will and overcome your will and pride!
Bear with patience for the sake of God the subjections of treatment from others. Bless those who maltreat you. Give to all who beg from you.
What have you to complain of to Me? Even in the midst of your sins, I love you and give to you because you are precious to Me. It is My hope that you will recognize My favor upon you. Be thankful. When I hide My face from you, shower Me with your love and praises. For I do not come at your beck and call, for you to realize it is I Who control, and am God!
As I give to you, give to Me. But give more to Me when you are alone and think I have left you! I am there, but I am listening for your loving prayers in silence. As you listen to Me, it is now the time that I listen to you in this silence. I do not hide because you have offended Me. You have offended Me many times, and My love still endures!! It is so you know Who is God. It is so you will surrender to the subjections of others for My sake, and that you will overcome your pride in My humility.
There are many of My people who, when things do not succeed with them as planned, grow impatient. Remember, the ways you would like to control are not in your power to control. It is not within your power to acquire. Those, who act as if they have been awarded this power, live only amongst deception of their own selves and, sooner or later, will be over-thrown. Your worldly wealth and selfish desires to succeed monetarily through control and power are only short lived!
The time will soon come when all must face death. And this death is a reality of life which no one has control over, only the Heavenly, Divine, ALMIGHTY GOD.
Live now in preparation to succeed in this death to life!
You are but dust and yet, because I spared you through My death, your soul is precious.
Allow Me to grace you to be able to give Me the thanks for your graces received through My merciful love. You cannot glory in your own merit, but only in Me. Those who are wise know better to humble themselves in My humility, and do not extol themselves. Overcome, then, your will and be submissive in obedience to the one Superior, My Father!
Those who wish to acquire glory in Me must submit in resignation to the Father’s Will as I. No one goes to the Father except through Me, and there is only one way. You may exert much energy wastefully in attempting to reach the finish line through a shortcut, but only come to your own shortcomings.
I have said, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but give to God what is God’s.” There is but only one way to the Kingdom, the way of love. I am love!

Spiritual Matrimony

Tuesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
10/1, Feast day of St Therese, The Little Flower
St Therese, Please pray for us.❤️🙏

“How blessed are those who remain free of their vanity to allow the glory of God to be their source of nourishment. I feed souls far beyond human comprehension. At this point, the beginning of your transcension will ascend quickly through My grace; not that you may be aware. It is not through your effort, so you cannot claim reward from your effort. But graciously give praise to Me for My goodness in ascending you in My love, a love I merit and emanate out to all I desire.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)

It’s beautiful to watch saintly souls who can fully and easily surrender to Him in ways that I tend to struggle with. These are the people from whom I learn the most. The humble and the meek, as they give their souls to others while I so arrogantly ponder the agitation of other souls who tend to draw others into their paths of “destruction.”
Therese in all of her innocence and infinite wisdom is so so relevant today in her words of truth that teach us humility. Divinely inspired guidance, that we might properly stay on God’s path as we traverse the obstacles that the world places before us, and it’s usually our ego that becomes the greatest obstacle. Lately, I’m finding that one of the most effective mantras I can keep in the forefront of my brain consists of the words “this isn’t about me.”

“This isn’t about me.”

To actively listen to what others have to say, and feel what they feel requires us to not only say it and feel it, but to completely engage those around us and peer into their souls from a place of selflessness and surrender that allows more of God, and less of ourselves to guide us as we walk with others in His infinite Truth. To follow like a lamb, and allow Him to be The Shepherd as we carry each other Home to Him.
To be humble.
To be humble.
To be humble.
To pray to God to fill my soul that it reflects more of Him, and less of me in every interaction. That my thoughts, words and deeds bring the fruit to His Kingdom that He desires. That we might rest our souls in the “palm of His Hand,” where we can remain all in, and totally His, from now into eternity. Through His infinite and perfect love. It’s all that matters, and it’s everything that’s eternal. It’s all we get to take with us when we leave this realm. May we be one with Him always.❤️🙏

SPIRITUAL MATRIMONY
(7/28/92)
My dear one, as the soul ascends in prayer, it comes to a point where I grace it with My love, and entreat a spiritual matrimony. You come completely into My hands through a void of emptiness which allows you to simply be quiet. I then fill the emptiness with heavenly love. This love is not a human love of emotions, as you know it to be from past experiences, but the mystery of the Divine. When in this state, do not fight, but surrender even more; or the current of the sea will only pull you farther away until, through exhaustion, you surrender! It is the highest, most pure form of ecstasy prayer, one of a union with God. No words, no emotions, no senses of touch, but an ambiance of peace like a baby sleeping in the comfort of a mother’s arms. It entails no snergy on your part because the prayer of grace is all of Me, so hence, the purity of My grace prevails.
How blessed are those who remain free of their vanity to allow the glory of God to be their source of nourishment. I feed souls far beyond human comprehension. At this point, the beginning of your transcension will ascend quickly through My grace; not that you may be aware. It is not through your effort, so you cannot claim reward from your effort. But graciously give praise to Me for My goodness in ascending you in My love, a love I merit and emanate out to all I desire. Hear what you think you have grasped. It will be realized that you have only learned very little! What you have acquired is less than nothing; and so you exist in a tunnel of an empty void, not seeing ahead nor behind, suspended, but traveling like the speed of light in space.
If you allow yourself to allow Me to filter in My love, you will progress rapidly, even though at times, from the human element, uncomfortably! The discomfort is due to your lack of surrendering. When you have experienced surrender even further, you are no longer aware that you even have the control to surrender!
Desire only to be close to Me, and I will ascend you into another dimension of life, My life, where My goodness knows only that which is good, total peace, love and virtue.
It is past the level of human comprehension. Do not analyze.
Do not even attempt in fervor to seek more. You must just be who you are, not knowing who you are, but knowing you are because of Me!!
Come, come and be quiet now. Rest and listen to the silence of emptiness of the world. You will hear treasures of harmonious harps from the heavens!
Peace, My love. Peace. Peace. Peace.

“Jesus said: But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”(Matthew 19:30)

It’s said that Mother Teresa never looked in mirrors because she didn’t want to know what she looked like. Regardless of one’s opinion of Mother Teresa, this is something I ponder often, because we do so often approach life through the lens of our own vanity as opposed humbling ourselves in a way that gives all Glory to God. I know that Mother Teresa took not only her name, but many of her cues from St. Therese below, who wrote much of the “book on humility” in her comparatively short life. As we observe the feast day of St Therese this week, I hope it put some focus and thought into her philosophy of doing “great things in little ways,” with humility and love.
There are in fact, “charitable narcissists” out there. People who give for their own glory, pride and prestige, and there are those whom only God is watching, those who are true to their cause for the sake of the cause, and little to no regard for “self.”
How much should we “advertise” our “charitable giving?” Are we “advertising” because we want to draw others into what we’re doing as we give all Glory to Him? Or are we advertising to “toot our own horn” and give ourselves that “15 minutes of fame?” A momentary rush of self gratification.
I’ve actually witnessed and still witness these “charitable narcissists.” . Those who seek glory in “front of the crowd,” yet are bullies to those around them. How must God see that? Whom do we think we’re fooling when we see that level of “temporal glory” at the expense of God’s Kingdom?
There’s a lot of material out there by and about St. Therese, and I hope that those who know little about her will take some time to engage and understand where she came from. To hopefully find a way to drop our egos and emulate this “Precious Little Flower,” as we take our “littleness” out into the world from a place of deep and pure love. That we find ways to do good “in secret,” or as Jesus said “when you give to the poor, do not let your right hand know what your left hand is doing.”(Matthew 6:3) This means to “give in complete secrecy.”
Most of us tend to walk a line somewhere down the middle, as I sometimes do “corporate sponsorship” kind of things that do tend to “boost” me in a temporal sense,” but not in a way that’s eternal, or gives the greater Glory to God. At least some good comes from it regardless.
I think that as long as we truly truly stay focused on Him, and stay true to God through and in ourselves, we have the best chance of impacting His Kingdom in a way that’s not only pleasing to Him, but gives all Glory to Him. Only in that way, through humility, can our efforts remain all in, and totally His.❤️🙏
