On Suffering
6:00p.m.
You are experiencing suffering, My child, suffering that I am
allowing. Accept it. Be as an open door. Take all I send you. You
will have more time for Me. I do not want you busy, My child. I am
the top of your life. I will send all things your way. You must stay
fixed on Me. Make your life simple and joyful. Be not worn out. You
are exhausted, running around like a chicken without a head. My
peace is not found in business. My peace is in the whisper, in him
whose voice is silent, in him who is quiet, in him who is not boastful.
You must remain selfless. You do not have to promote yourself.
You are of value to Me. I need you to do this work. Be calm and
unattached to all that is worldly. You will let go of all that you once
needed and you will need only Me. In My ways is your happiness
found. Only from Me do you get peace. Release yourself from people,
places and things. Be close only to Me. Your life unfolds and I
am unwrapping it, little one.
Suffering. I suffered, I truly suffered for love of you! Accept your
sufferings as a sharing in My passion and offer them up to Me.
Accept suffering as a staircase to heaven. Each day you ascend
closer and closer to Me, your divine reward.
My soul is sad even to the point of death. Come and wait with
Me that you might know the love I have for you. Comfort, oh comfort!
I indeed am God and I care for the pain in your soul. I suffered
too. I know suffering. I know longing in My heart for souls that are
dead in sin and do not come to Me. I suffer for love of thee. Come
to Me that I might make you whole, that I may breathe My life into
your withered soul and comfort you in your sorrow! You are My
child and I watch you and feel your pain. Your pain is not in vain. It
is in suffering that you share in My life! Walk My passion with Me
and know Me better. The way to Me is the way of the cross. Do not
put your cross down. Bear all I send to you and praise your heavenly
Father Who loves you! To give up My cross is to give up Me. “Oh,
but,” you say, “I want to know You, Lord.” To know Me is to carry
My cross, not to put it down. Carry the little crosses I give you
every day and you will know Me more and more for I am in your
life today in that cross. Will you embrace Me or turn away? Suffer
with Me whenever it comes your way. It is a gift I give to you to be
closer to Me.
