Thursday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“It is good to plan, but do not be consumed with making sure that your plans are fulfilled. Allow God’s will to unfold in the midst of your plans.
Maintain peace of heart and serenity. You cannot make something happen just as you cannot make someone love you.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
There was a time when I would allow any sudden change in plans to frustrate and anger me. The feeling of “loss of control,” and the ego’s need to keep all things around me in what I called “order” was a very powerful anchor, and a hard one to let go of at that. Yet, as I grow mentally and spiritually, and more aware of God’s effect on things around me, I realize that “letting go and letting God” tends to be not only more fruitful to all things around me, it’s critical to my own well being as well as that of those around me. Dying to myself, or to my “ego,” so that Jesus can keep His peace at the forefront of my soul, and His calming light, presence, and love, can be reflected through me rather than causing angst and toxicity around me with every little “paradigm shift” that occurs.
There are times when all of us fail, but we often have to open ourselves up in a way that allows others to fail also. We aren’t going to be around forever, and the more we not only “allow God,” but allow and guide others to follow Him, the greater the impact we leave on this world, because only by cultivating leadership in others can our existence not be in vain. Sometimes we do in fact have to drop our egos in a way that allows us to assume some ownership of the failings of those we “mentor,” because if we don’t, it will be difficult for them to move along in service without us around, and that which we “bring to the table” dies along with us. Plus, if our mission is to grow beyond us, we simply have to be able to trust others.
When we think about “letting go,” I find one of the best things I can do is to place myself at the foot of The Cross, and to remember that Jesus died completely and totally in His mentorship of us, and the only “dying” that most of us have to endure through our service is the death of our own ego. And to admit our failings along the way. There’s credibility that comes with those admissions, sometimes greater credibility than if the task had been done right in the first place, because humility is strength, whether we like to admit it or not.
At the end of the day it isn’t about us anyway. It’s about Jesus, and a week from now nobody is going to remember the “death of our ego” besides ourselves, and if we continue to worry about that and reflect on it, the ego hasn’t really died. The only way our ego can die fully is to allow Him to consume it for us, so that we can die unto ourselves and resurrect in Him, for only through Him, can our service in love be eternal, that we can live through, with and in Him, and remain all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

LOVE AS I LOVED, DIE AS I DIED
My dear little one, you cannot worry about what will happen tomorrow. You need not focus on anything but what you are to do today or you will experience anxiety and uncertainty. It is good to plan, but do not be consumed with making sure that your plans are fulfilled. Allow God’s will to unfold in the midst of your plans.
Maintain peace of heart and serenity. You cannot make something happen just as you cannot make someone love you. I cannot make My people love Me. It is their free will that I have given to them as a gift. No matter how much you try to impress people or prove to them you have changed from your old ways, and no matter how kind you are to them, giving gifts of love, you cannot gain their acceptance or trust. They have free will to choose what and whom they desire to love and accept. That is why I have told you to focus on Me your Lord, nothing more, nothing else, nothing less. You will gain peace and serenity of heart in My love. You will always have My acceptance and My love. You need not prove to Me that you have changed, for I have given you the grace to change. You need not try to impress Me. My love is unconditional, and it is I who bear gifts of love for My people.
People can be very cruel. When they choose their way above God’s Way, when they decide not to walk the path of love I have walked before them, they lose sight of truth and reality. They become blinded by the consuming desire to fulfill their quest, and in the process they become very cruel in nature and behavior. What they define as freedom and the reign of freedom is not the stepping stone to unconditional love, but that of control and manipulation.
That is why I continually invite all people to return to God, to love unconditionally and to be merciful. Many of My little ones become targets of pain from the belittling comments and cruel words of others. They try to give of themselves unconditionally in love and in the process are lashed out at in return for their efforts. These, My little ones, many times feel abandoned by God, but it is not so. As my little ones turn to Me and refocus once again on My love, they are strengthened and become the pillars of My unconditional love.
Step by step they become victorious in the eyes of God and merit the crown of glory.
Why must it be so? Because, little one, all who love as I love must die as I died. It was My people who made their fate by their verdict they passed on Me. They made their own fate by their judgment on Me. Now all who live as I live and desire to share in My glory must die as I died, in love and in humility. Remember, I was victorious in death, and in love of My people I died in order that all might live and share in My reign. I would do it again, for My Love for My people surpasses all love. Those who desire to follow Mis love must walk the walk, carry their cross and be crucified in My concifable love and mercy. Peace this day, little one, as the mysticism of My love unfolds in all its wonders. AD DEUM.
