“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.”(From Gianna below)

I’ll tell you that when I first began dabbling with the idea of “contemplative prayer,” it was more like watching the clock. “When will this be done so I can go out and play,” or whatever worldly thing I was doing at the time. I wish I could say that it was a gradual change to where I am now, which is kind of the opposite, but it wasn’t. There was almost an instant in time when the spirit called me to adoration and contemplation, and now I can’t wait to get there, and it’s hard to leave when it becomes time to leave, aside from the fact that much of contemplation, particularly when kneeling, is keeping my limbs from falling asleep under my excess weight. I’ve been contemplating that and cutting back on sugar too. God does need us healthy if we’re going to serve Him through this time. Not that people can’t serve in poor health, but I don’t think that’s the ideal. Especially now, as there is much going on in the world as His Kingdom comes to fruition, and He needs us at our best. Mentally and physically. And He needs our full attention, as we merge what’s happening in the world with His desires and tasks for us, that we might act responsibly and in His will. Once I truly said “yes” to Him, things changed. We talk about the “power of now,” which I do reflect on and see merit in embracing, but I don’t think that comes anywhere close to the power of our “yes.” It’s a place where we realize we have been called to Him. A place where we open ourselves up to Him, and allow Him to work in every aspect of our being to bring His will and His plan into the light. It’s a place where all are welcome and invited, and it’s a place of deep love for all whom we encounter. More than that, it’s a place that’s very real, and facilitates glimpses into His heavenly Kingdom that allow us to go forth and make His Will happen here on earth. To bring His Kingdom to all who desire it. In perfect love. ❤️🙏

Feelings
“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 feel-
ings. 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 pre-
cious 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 em-
brace. 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.”
