When Pride Whispers in Your Heart

                 My loving awesome protector and Lord, I sense Your sheltering touch in this world that has chosen to oppose You. I cringe and run to Your Blessed Sacred Heart and bury my head in Your embrace. Why must Your people fight You so? Why do they try to live in this world with illogical morals and in a way where every person is a lord and master of himself? Why do they shy away from Your love and protection? It breaks my heart.

                “Dear crying child, let Me hold you and assure you that all will be fine. You are safe with Me because you love Me. You know that My ways are for My people’s benefit and are designed out of intense love for all of you. Not everyone sees it that way. Pride is an insidious infection that slowly whispers, ‘You are better than that,’ which turns their gaze from Me to themselves. It is a slow process, one that breaks My heart every step of the way as My beloved people no longer look up into My loving gaze. Their eyes shift side to side as they look to other things to follow and find satisfaction. It is just like when Adam and Eve listened to the serpent who set doubts in their hearts. They could have ignored him but their pride bubbled up and mingled with the serpent’s false promises. These false promises are where the hearts of many people have turned. They don’t trust in My promises and they don’t believe in Me. That breaks My heart. Imagine your children saying, ‘You don’t love me’ to you and nothing you say can change their minds. It is heartbreaking and what’s worse, that line of thought only brings more misery. There is no true happiness and joy without Me, that is all I want for My children, and yet so many reject Me.

                “Do not fret My child, it will all be set right one day. Please come to Me often with your loving heart. I will hold you tight and bring you comfort and you will comfort Me as well for My heart is hurting too. Together, we will be strengthened in love and you will be fine. I love you my darling and will always shelter and protect you in that love.”

Step Out of the Shadows

                My Lord, my God, my protector, my victor over life and death, I run to the shelter of Your arms and hide in the shadow of the Cross. Sometimes, this world and some of the people in it make me cringe as I imagine You seeing it all. Your good designs have been turned upside down and rejected. Oh my God, You died on the Cross to save us all, so why does this world shrink away from You and why do some people choose to follow illogical leaders and policies? I trust in You, I know You are watching over all of us and that You will not abandon us but how far do You let Your sheep wander?

                “Oh My trembling child, step out of the shadows and dry your tears, I am here and when you stand with Me, we are invincible because I offer love for eternity. Your yes to My invitation arms you with My protection. No, it won’t be easy and yes, I shed tears as well but when you stand with Me and shed tears with Me, you bring Me joy and keep the flames of My eternal love burning bright. Those flames protect you My child, do not let them smolder in fear, sadness or uncertainty over the world. All is as it should be and all will make sense to you one day. Remember, time is for My people but for Me, time does not exist, I see all from the beginning. There is no end, I see My creation in a circular loop, not in a linear time scale. Trust in Me My child. I will protect you and do not give up on anyone or anything for if you do, you limit My work. Together with our hearts joined, we can do so much more. Step out of the shadow trembling child and see what our love can accomplish.”
