          “Quietness is fearful to many people.  It is a lonely void that brings sadness and feelings of futility.  It is empty and appears meaningless.  Noise dulls self-interpretation and pondering.  Man continues to run full force; restless, agitated, and driven.  There is no peace.  Silence gives peace.

          Silence opens the door to the spiritual realm.  It breaks through earthly barriers.  It opens heaven.  Very few souls heed the call to silent encounters with God.  In the frenzy of life, they never encounter the silent meeting with their God and Creator.

          Life could end at any moment in time.  This should be taken into consideration by fragile man, yet it isn’t thought about.  Death stares man in the face daily, yet man sidesteps the eternal issue.

          O man, on the day of your death, how will you think?  Will you be joyful and prepared, or caught unawares?  This is something you should deeply meditate through.  Your last day will come.  You will give an account of your days on earth.  They are few, but very important.

          You have been given the gift of life.  Do not take this precious gift for granted.  Understand that the gift of life on earth is hastening to an end.  Each day brings you a day closer to eternity.  Ponder well how you live.”

Jesus,

Timepiece for Eternity

          “All of life is a continual surrender to grace.  My grace is light that enters a soul that is open to receive it.  My grace is an ocean of love that surrounds every repentant heart.  Grace is God’s love manifesting His beauty to men of earth, men made of dust but raised up to the realm of God’s supernatural existence.

          My children of grace will reign with Me eternally in love and peace.  What a happy future awaits you, My children of light!  You will bask in My love eternally.  You will live in My love forever!

          You can enjoy the grace of My peace and love even now while living on earth.  You can live moment by moment in My radiant light, reflecting My beauty to the world.  Let My light infuse you moment by moment by turning your heart to Me in prayer and contemplation.  It is not hard.  It is a beautiful thing to contemplate your Creator who loves you.  He will assimilate you into Himself and you will change the world around you from darkness to light, from unrest to great peace.  The atmosphere around you will be filled with My fragrance and souls will be enticed to seek the eternal.

          Heaven is always peeking through the dense clouds to draw souls into its splendor.  Those that raise their eyes to heaven will recognize heaven’s overtures.

          “Look to Me that ye may be radiant with joy.”  Let Me shine My light through your countenance.  My rays of love and light will attract the moths of earth and I will transform them into butterflies of great color and beauty.

          “All things are possible with God.”  Let Me do the impossible through your smiling face.”

Jesus,

Radiance of God

          “Look at the ocean, My child.  There is a world beneath the waves that is thriving and alive without air.  It is another realm of life growing and living hidden from mankind.  So it is with the realm of spirit.  This world, unseen to men, is all around you.  You will never see it with earthly eyes.  You must quiet your senses to perceive the edges of this world.  Your loved ones that have died live in this world and they are praying for you.  You can speak to them, even though you do not see them physically.  They watch your journey and constantly cheer you on, interceding for My grace to claim your life fully.

          Man is in a mad rush.  He is blind to the spirit world.  Even My chosen ones do not grasp this reality.  Very few mystics and saints through the centuries have opened their spiritual vision to My world.  It is not a hidden jewel.  It is attainable by all.  Yet so few seek to live their lives hidden in My presence.

          You must turn away from the world to seek My face alone.  I must become all your thoughts and desires.  This truly is a race to the finish line fighting your physical desires to the end.  The world calls to you to claim all your attention.  From the rising of the sun to its setting, it cries out to you for attention.  Run into My arms of refuge.  Choose silent encounters with Me.

          Look at the birds soaring in the heavens above the world.  Be like that soaring bird, your wings spread aloft, freely letting yourself be driven by the spiritual wind of My presence.  Keep your feet in the heavens, not on the earth where the world can devour you as its prey.  Fly joyfully in My presence. I will supply all you need.  Do not worry or be anxious.  As the birds fly carefree in the skies, never working for their food, so you must exhibit the same trust in My care for you.  I am your loving Father.  You are in the palm of My hand.  Recognize that worry is useless.

          “Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.”  Can you trust Me on this?”

          “I mold and soften and remake hearts according to My image.  Your life is My school.  I am forming saints in this holy school.  Schools have teachers.  I am your Teacher.  You have tried to teach yourself and that is impossible.  You need Me to teach you.  The only way to learn is to listen and absorb My teachings.  Do not have preconceived ideas or agendas.  Let Me run the teaching program.

          There are many areas of your life that need to be remade into My holy image.  You are not aware of these areas, but they are crippling you.  Allow Me to help you.  Let Me heighten your awareness of what is really going on in your life.

          I am a Healer, a Teacher, a Friend and your Redeemer.  I am all things to all men.  If you seek My face, you will enjoy great peace and you will become what I intended you to be when I so lovingly created you.  Do you yet understand that I created you from nothing?  Let that sentence sink into your consciousness.  I created you from nothing solely because My love compelled Me to.  Can you give yourself into the hands of your Creator?  I gave you a free will.  You can refuse Me.  This refusal is the reason for all the grief in the world.  Only a Creator can fulfill the needs of His created children.

          You learn so much when you sit alone with Me.  I open your mind to My world.  Your time with Me is your gift to yourself.

          Live your retreat in My heart.  I will teach you everything you need to know to become the saint I created you to be. 

          God and God alone.”

          “How do you die to self in this world of self-aggrandization?  The world has gone mad glorifying the creature, completely forgetting the Creator.  Life is an illusion of eternal pleasure to souls with dulled spiritual senses.  The truth of eternal values eludes them.

          How do you die to nature?  It is an innate yearning to gratify the senses, to love life’s gifts.  But life is a waiting chamber.  It is not real life.  This life is not your final purpose.  This life is a ladder to the true eternal life that awaits every soul.

          How do you become alive to true life?  By finding silence.  By listening to God’s voice within you in the silent stirrings of your heart.  By pondering My words in Scripture.  By partaking of My Body and Blood.  By conversing with the heavenly dwellers.  By setting your heart to love Me continuously.  By loving thoughts and aspirations.  By trust and confidence in My watchcare for you and others.

          Live in My peace daily by loving Me one moment at a time.  Converse freely with Me.  I am your Friend.  I am always with you.  Talk things over with Me.  I am the All-Wise One.

          Make your life a prayer, a tabernacle of holiness for the world to behold.  The world is seeking Me.  Let the world find Me in you.  I desire it.”
