          “Find the silence.  Find the silence.  It is gone from the world.  “Be still and know that I am God.” 

          You will find Me in the silence.  I will not use words to speak to you.  I will bypass words to speak directly to your spirit.

          Do you want to hear My voice?  Then become silent before Me.  Let Me flow into you in the silence.  How can I fill a full vessel?  You must be empty of the human to be filled with the divine.

          I am from another realm – the spirit world.  We communicate spirit to spirit, without need of words.  “God seeks worshippers to worship Him in spirit and in truth.”

          Gaze into the emptiness of silence and you will find Me staring into your eyes.  Die to yourself – to words, thoughts, projects, plans.  Sit before Me empty and let Me fill you with spiritual thoughts, words, and ideas.  You will enter the eternal silence of My infinity.  The stillness will allow you to cross over the threshold into My realm.  You will rest like a child in My arms and all will be well.

          Come; take the journey with Me to your home beyond this realm, your eternal home.  You will see it in the silence where I wait for you.”

 

Your Infinite God

          “To love God more than yourself … Is it possible in this world?  Yes, it is possible to all men, but it is an arduous duty of self-discipline and self-denial.  Prayer must become your lifeblood.  Only in conversation with the Almighty One can you come to know who you are and who He is.  When you come to that self-knowledge, you will abandon self as if it were a rotten moldy garment and you will cling to the pure and incomprehensible life of God.

          Man cannot find Me because he clings to earth, to what is seen over what is unseen.  He makes no time in his day to come to Me to know Me.  He lives his life alone, making his own plans.  He lives for himself alone.

          I am asking man to deny himself, to take up his cross of self-neglect, and to follow Me.  He must turn away from the world and from self.  He must give up all in this world to attain all.  He must give up his plans, his ambitions, his desires, his pursuits, even his right to himself.  This is the path to sainthood.

          I replace all these vain illusions with heavenly treasures of eternal worth.  In exchange, I give you peace, joy, serenity, security, love, integrity, honor and glory.  You will live the days of heaven on earth, but not without suffering.  You will become branded with My mark of atonement which will make you an object of persecution and scorn, as I was.  But the love of the Father will overwhelm your heart and you will “count it all joy” to suffer tribulation because your love for God will put a song from heaven in your heart.  You will lose the desire for the things of earth.  You will be waiting anxiously to see your eternal home.

          Together forever, united in love and harmony, all My saints will be eternally joyful in My presence.  Isn’t it worth the sacrifice of your very few years on earth to have walked away from the bondage of self to live in the liberty of a child of God on earth?  I offer you great treasures, My children, with promise of great rewards.  “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.”  I will make your way plain before you.  The way of the cross leads home”:

          “To live with Me, to walk daily with Me by your side, is to live a beautiful day.  You will have new eyes to see the world around you.  You will be aware of My creative artistry in everything.

          I walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day enjoying their friendship and their response to My love.  Our days were beautiful together until they were broken by disobedience and rebellion.  They lost faith in My goodness and sought to separate themselves from My counsels.  This wounded My heart.  Like the father of the prodigal son, I had to let them go …

          Even today, so many souls run from My friendship.  I want to walk beside all of you today to give you a beautiful day.  All it takes is a glance in My direction and I will run to you, as the father of the prodigal son ran in joyful anticipation to meet his son

          I am your Father.  I created you.  I know everything about you, all your desires and heartfelt needs.  I want to help you become the best person you can be on this earth, but you have to allow it.  I am held at arm’s length even by many of My faithful children.

          Come closer to Me, children of My heart.  I am always calling you.  “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”  Joyfully I will clasp your hand and we shall walk together on your journey of life.  Our friendship will grow with each passing day.  When it is time for you to leave this earth to come to My world, you will peacefully close your eyes and I will carry you over the threshold.  You will awaken to a new land of glorious beauty

          Trust Me, children.  Give Me your hand.  Let’s walk your remaining days on earth together.”

          “Our love is like a blossoming flower, a fragrant rose, petals of which are constantly unfurling to reveal hidden truths.  The more time you spend in My presence, the more My grace permeates your soul, the more you are sanctified.  To be sanctified means to be a holy vessel on God’s pure altar.  He does not disdain to pick you up and use you to manifest His glory to the world.

          To keep oneself unspotted from the world, a vessel ready and willing to be used, you must stop to linger in My presence.  You must turn away from the world’s daily invitations to live only by your instinctual senses.  You must seek the higher life, where your life is “hidden with Christ in God,” the spiritual realms that are never-ending and tangible.  It seems that they are floating dreams, yet sanctity is a reality that can be realized in your lifetime.  God can make any soul a saint, if the soul is willing.  How does He accomplish this sanctifying work?  In the silence – “hidden with Christ in God.”  Hidden from the world’s prying eyes, you become known to the heavens.

          My beloved souls that have given themselves to the cloistered life have sold all they possess to purchase this precious pearl of great price.  They have learned the secret of the saints – give all to receive all.

          Sanctity is not far from you, My people.  “Seek and you fill find.”  Sanctity is not reserved for a few, but it is offered to every soul in the world, if they be willing to respond to God’s offer.  My little saints on earth are covered with My Son’s blood of redemption.  They are washed and purified by the tears of My Son.  They are beautiful in My sight.

          Beautiful souls of earth, adorned with grace and perfect light, bask in the glory of your calling!  It is eternal and never-ending communion with the most loving and holy God.

          What an invitation to refuse!  Acceptance means eternal glory!  Wake up, men of earth.  I am calling you to holiness.  Respond fully, and I will cover you with My armor of light, My Son, Jesus Christ, the Holy One.”

          “Blessings from heaven, heavenly graces falling silently upon My little children intent on pleasing Me.  These are My little lambs of predilection, those closest to My heart, the souls I can confide in, the ones who share My dreams of salvation to the world.  My heart rejoices in My little ones, those that have understood My heart.  How dear they are to Me!  I listen to their faithful prayers so lovingly and proffer blessing upon blessing over their bent heads.  I long to share My glorious gifts and graces with My children!

          Little ones of earth, I am Beauty, Glory, and endless Joy!  I am a fountain of delights, just waiting to be discovered.  I am eternal youthfulness, the gaiety of a Christmas morning, the colors of the rainbow.  Learn of Me to learn true joy.  Cheerful joyfulness is My endearing demeanor forever.

          Heaven is eternal joy.  I am Joy.  I am Heaven.”

          “Glorious, so glorious is heaven that the turmoil of earth will be forgotten forever.  The mind of man cannot comprehend heaven’s glory.  His senses are dull.  He lives as a creature of earth, oblivious to heaven’s joys.

          Children spring spontaneously from heaven’s glory, bringing purity and love to earth.  Children express the innocence and loveliness of heaven’s beauty.  The golden colors of the sunsets vaguely display the jewels of heaven’s gates.  The sun shines brightly upon earth, a constant reminder of the light of holy God.  The clouds noiselessly traverse the heavens, showing forth God’s glory.

          God’s goodness is reflected in every living thing.  He is light, substance, glory, holiness, and truth.  If you aspire to reach heaven’s spectacular grandeurs, you must allow this holy God to transform you into His likeness.  He will weave a tale of beauty on your journey through time that will reverberate forever.

          O men of earth, let me transform you into something more beautiful than you could ever imagine.  I am willing.  Are you willing?  I love to create masterpieces on earth to display them in My cabinets in heaven.  I will display them eternally.

          I love you, My children.  Let My love permeate all that you are.”

Your Father Who Loves You

November 21, 2012

           “To be near God is my happiness.” … the secret of the saints.  God is the joy of all souls.  His joy is infinite and overflowing.

          God, the great Creator of all that exists, joyfully created this overwhelmingly beautiful world.  As He draped the animals with fur coats, sprinkled neon colors on the fish scales, softened the craggy mountain peaks with gentle white snow, He delighted in His artistic manifestations.

          God is boundless growth, change, development projecting out into infinity.  He is timeless and without boundaries.  God is gracious and kind and compassionate to all things created.  He lovingly hovers over His works, tweaking here, softening there, rescuing the falling, painting the tarnished.  God is all things to all of creation.

          Who can comprehend God’s depths?  He reveals Himself to the “little ones”, the humble souls that seek Him alone above His works.  God draws the humble to Himself, desiring to dwell with them eternally.  They shall see His face.  They shall hear His voice.  They shall know as they are known.

          “The heavens declare the glory of God.”  They are boundless.  There is no end to space as there is no end to God.  O little minds of men, stop and wonder.  Stop to behold infinity!  You will be humbled at the meditation.  You know nothing as you should know about this boundless God because pride drives Him away.  The pride of life is that secret self-love that puts man on the throne of his own heart.  To come to know God, you must let Him have his kingly position in your life.  You must bow before His majestic presence and remain mute before Him.  You must know your place in His kingdom.  His grace and mercy have saved you from perdition.  This must humble your vain thoughts.

          I rarely treat of My magnificence in words, yet man has goaded Me to do so by his rebellious pride.  I have had pity on you, O men of earth.  Humble yourselves before Me and I will exalt you in due time.”

The Magnificent Creator
