“I find pleasure in those who seek Me with a fervent heart, with persistence and self-giving surrendering.”(From Gianna Below)
How do we truly follow Jesus? I’ve never been particularly turned on by preaching that warns me about the fires of hell, that’s for sure. Yet so many who might claim to follow Him seem to want to focus on that, instilling fear in souls instead of the love that Jesus taught and preached. Jesus went to the cross for us, with an unsurpassed level of humility, and he didn’t do it from a place of material wealth, or from a place of ego that might make us feel that He thought He was better than us. I acknowledge that He is indeed better than us, as He laid it all down. Everything He was as a human He allowed to be taken from Him so that we might live in His perfect light. So why do we as Christians so often set ourselves up in a place of “glory” as opposed to the humility that He lived and preached? “So the last will be first, and the first last.”(Matt 20:16) He showed us the most perfect example of humility with all of His heart and soul. I’m thinking that’s the only way for us as well. May we remember His passion and give all glory to Him as we walk in His light. In perfect love. Totus Tuus.❤️🙏

The Humble Heart
“My dear one, its the humble and contrite heart I will not despise. It is the heart that yearns for My goodness I will not turn from. I find pleasure in those who seek Me with a fervent heart, with persistence and self-giving surrendering.
A humble heart is a heart who loves what is heavenly
in the midst of a humanly existence. A humble heart is one
who always wills and desires that which is most acceptable
to Me, that which will please Me best. It is one who seeks
their will to be My Will always and follows it with a resig-
nation of total surrender.
When I came from heaven for your salvation, I took on
Myself all your pain, suffering and miseries, nor because of
the necessity, but because of My mercy, love and charity for
you. You, in turn, must give all for all. If your love is pure
and if you are humble of heart, you will be free and not held
bound to anything!
Be at peace, and resigned to listen and pray; to do good
according to the pleasure of God, and you will not be at a
loss. If you seek merry things for your own interest, you will
not find rest or freedom or peace because, in everything you
search for, defect will always exist. But if you are humble of
heart, continuously searching to please God and tend to heav-
enly things, you will secure a lasting foundation, one seeded
in great wisdom and purity,
Things will pass away and even My people will pass away
with them, but I am He who does not change! I understand
all and sit in judgment of vanity and affliction of spirit. So
come to Me, you of humble and meek heart – a heart meek
with strength, endurance, not losing courage, but striving for
good. BLESSED ARE THE HUMBLE, MEEK OF HEART.
THEY WILL INHERIT THE LAND!”
