Monday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“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.”(From Jesus to Gianna below)
“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.❤️🙏

Message from Jesus to Gianna Talone Sullivan, I am Your Jesus of Mercy Vol IV
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 energy 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.
