Thursday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“Many of My people attempt to conquer the world, and wish to do too many things at a rapid pace! It is only I Who can conquer the world! It is necessary to go slowly, and at My pace, if you are to conquer with Me!”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
I try to live a unhurried life. I do try to close out the “rat race,” and keep my schedule paced in a way that keeps me in a state of calm that not only allows me time to serve, but keeps me in a state of mind and being that cultivates love, as opposed to hurriedness and stress. Our culture really isn’t set up for this, as one person’s stress will tend to have a domino effect on those around them, creating “emergencies” that require us to work long hours, or to “jump through hoops” to “put out fires” caused by others. This leaves us with little time to process our thoughts, and filter the input around us in a way that allows us to reflect God’s love meaningfully to those around us. We become “pawns to the system,” rather than stewards of His Kingdom, as we try to compete and stay relevant to whomever we work for, or those we’re trying to impress. Somehow we need to find a place of balance for ourselves, and to manage our “yeses” and our “nos” in a way that keeps God at the forefront of our lives, yet still allows us to sustain ourselves, or to put a “roof over our heads and food on the table.”
I suppose this all looks fine and good from the outside, but how do we get to a place of peace when we’re mired in worldly challenges? Paradigm shifts are hard. Job changes, scaling down, decluttering our lives in a way that separates the “weeds from the good crop,” allowing us time and economic freedom to spend more time with God in our vocations and our families. To turn off the lures of the world, and to immerse ourselves in Him, praying for the changes in our lives that allow us more time to be impactful to our souls and to His Kingdom. I think one key answer is through gratitude. Being thankful for what we have, as opposed to stressing ourselves in a “quest for more.” Realizing that Gods Kingdom and our families are more important than money. Realizing that “winning” is something we do for God and for our families, not how many toys we get to have or how much we can impress others. To turn off the propaganda and narratives that foment hatred among us, and to pray, and pray some more, that we immerse ourselves in His will, rather than that of society, as we live in a way that draws others to Him. That we remain living “through Him, with Him, and in Him, as we walk each other into His light. And that we remain all in, and totally His. In perfect love.❤️🙏

ORDINARINESS
JANUARY 8, 1990
My dear child, today I wish to speak of ordinariness.
My people think that, in order to gain the Kingdom of God, they need to be extraordinary and to be recognized by man as a martyr! This is not so! I called all to be saintly in their ordinariness! This is also one of the reasons I have selected you through whom I speak My lessons. If I listen to you and give to you in your ordinariness, would I not listen and give to all My people, if there is not partiality in My love?
Many of My people attempt to conquer the world, and wish to do too many things at a rapid pace! It is only I Who can conquer the world! It is necessary to go slowly, and at My pace, if you are to conquer with Me! I am here for all My people and I do not, I repeat, do not favor one over the other!
All are blessed in My eyes, who seek the goodness of My Father.
I WISH FOR MY PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT I AM WITH THEM AT ALL TIMES, EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY, NOT ONLY TIMES OF PRAYER! I am with them when they are at home conversing, laughing, arguing, loving, working and crying. Is that not ordinary, daily activity? Is that not a simplicity in functioning very ordinarily with Me in the midst of their presence?
As My people turn to Me, they desire to please Me by doing extraordinary tasks. They wish to go out of their way to please Me in order that they may seek My favor and My peace. It is I Who wish to give, and it is in their ordinariness that I provide for them!
Ordinariness is loving, laughing, living pure lives, crying. working and growing. It is not chastising, swearing, blaspheming or drunkenness. I do not wish for My people to stop functioning in their daily activities because they have been found by Me! I wish for all to carry on lovingly, accepting My many gifts. This is the ordinariness of which I am speaking. I wish for all to reflect upon My friendship. Am I their friend? What is a friend? How do you treat a friend? Are not friends ordinary and simple? Are they not patient, loving and devoted?
Are they not opinionated, yet lend a listening ear? Will they not allow themselves to be corrected?
I am a God Who loves ordinariness. I listen, am loving and patient. I am devoted and simplistic. I AM REAL! I am comforted, even when My beloved ones take a fall, for their fall develops tears of growth! Is it not ordinary to fall, to grow, to fall and to grow some still?
My point today, My child, is that I love My people in their ordinariness. I am not looking for martyrs. I am looking for simplicity and dedication to friendship. I am looking for honesty, openness and growth, all ordinary ways which will be extraordinary in My sight! Do not out-do yourselves in love, My people, but simply MAKE LOVE YOUR WAY OF LIFE.
Do not out-do one another by noticeably doing good for others.
It is in the quietness of love and simpleness, that good is accomplished. I tell you, it is better to do good for someone quietly, without recognition, than to love with recognition.
The glory given to My Father in this form is immeasurable.
Therefore, My dear ones, do not despair. Your walk with Me is one of growth and living your lives in the ordinariness of My love, living simply, honestly, lovingly and purely. This is the ordinariness in My sight that makes you extraordinary in the sight of My Father. Peace, My loved ones, peace.
