Saturday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“If you desire to be free, begin to be compassionate! Learn what compassion is, and how to simply and openly be compassionate.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
Compassion can be a tricky thing. We want to be compassionate, but how do we discern whether we’ve crossed the line between compassion and enabling? We’re always called to kindness, so maybe taking our cue from Patrick Swayze’s Road House speech where he calls a group of bouncers in a rowdy bar to “be nice,” in spite of the turmoil inherent in bar fights and such might be in order? I think most of us from the Baby Boom and GenX generations have experienced getting “yelled at,” or even spanked for doing things that annoy our parents or adult leaders, and may even have some lingering ptsd from the experience, but I’m not convinced aggression is a helpful way to facilitate the love and trust that lets us maximize the human experience. Then again, giving people the rope to do the same damaging things to themselves, ourselves, and others over and over without consequences doesn’t do society much good either. I think it’s easier to show compassion to those outside our immediate sphere of influence than it is to those closest to us. It’s easier to see things from the outside looking in than it is when we’re immersed in them and blinded by our own personal biases, experiences, and baggage. Sometimes the best way to show compassion is to distance ourselves from a situation, as the best lessons tend to come when we’re forced to solve problems on our own, or to allow others to work out their own situations with the means of professional help. Sometimes even when it’s our children. Plus it gives us an opportunity to see things more clearly because we’re not immersed in them, which allows us to make clearer and more effective decisions in love.
Jesus always calls us to love regardless of who we are or whom we’re serving, and sometimes it’s tough love. Other times we can dig right in and just love. There’s a beautiful freedom in that as well. Regardless, we’re always called to love. Through Him, with Him, in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. And to remain all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I am your Jesus of Mercy Vol III
LOVE AND COMPASSION
DECEMBER 17, 1990
My dear child, I, your Lord, am here awaiting your love and comfort for My wounds. Today I wish to expound on the need to restore dignity and respect to mankind through compassion and love. Oh, My dear child, how My people, especially My poor and downtrodden homeless, are malnourished of love and compassion. There is little or no dignity in their lives; all due to lack of respect and the uncompassionate hearts of their brethren. It is mankind who has destroyed their hopes of life and good fortune; the same mankind which can restore and replenish goodness, hope, love and dignity.
The power My people have has been granted to them from My Father. Yet, because of wickedness, My people misuse their gifts and lose their power to create and restore goodness through love. My people need to be understanding and compassionate! They need to put aside their desires for personal gain and seek to please My Father in freedom! I tell My people over and over again to desire to grow in My holiness by desiring to unite in the Oneness of the Holy Trinity. To do this you must desire self denial, and desire total absorption of My love and acceptance to do the will of God. Only My Father can take you to this point, for this is a gift from Him.
Only those He desires will unite in the Oneness of the Trinity.
Those He desires are My people, who themselves desire; for when they unite with their brethren in unity, love and compassion, and with the dignity and respect of God, they unite in he Oneness of the Holy Trinity. I tell you this, for I have been observing My people these past few weeks and have not given you any lessons because I desired to see their desires, intimate desires of their heart. I long to fill their hearts with My love and with what they need for ultimate freedom, so I have been simply listening and observing the condition and truth of the state of their hearts!
Tell My people that ultimate freedom results from total acceptance of God’s Will! The Will of My Father can be discerned through love, compasion and openness to other’s needs. Freedom is a result of unity in the Holy Trinity and is a state of holiness. If you desire to be free, begin to be compassionate! Learn what compassion is, and how to simply and openly be compassionate. This is My desire for My people this season. My prayer is that they may desire freedom and unity in the Holy Trinity; that they may begin to be loving, forgiving and compassionate through dignity and respect for their brethren.
I bless you and all My people. No matter how evil or wicked they may seem to be in the eyes of man, they are good, only misled, in My eyes; and I will NEVER abandon them! I will always wait for them to simply invite My assistance. Peace, My dear one. My love is yours, united together with My Father.
Ad Deum.
