16th December 2011 (Morning Prayer)
My dear little one,
Go back to a life of simplicity. I have asked you to clean the interior first. As you approach the festive season of My birth I ask you to not be drawn into the worldly way where many are so consumed with activities and have forgotten the reason for this holy season. It is not about the many gifts you give. Go back to a more simple way of giving. Do not be consumed with the influences of worldly ways. Read Matthew 6: 25-34. It is time to clean the house and put all in right order. Remove all the external goods that block the path of simplicity. Do not make comparisons with one another. Be content to live your life in a way that is pleasing to God. It is time to make adequate preparations. Do not let this task overwhelm you. Prepare a worthy place for your Lord and King. Look to the humble place of My birth. I was not born in a place of grandeur but in a place of simplicity. Make hospitality your special gift. Give others the gift of love. Give of yourself generously with no hidden agendas of others and any expectations of what they should be giving to you. Purify your thoughts, words and deeds. Remove the clutter in your life that keeps you in a state of confusion. Make changes now while you are given this time of grace. Do not be afraid to change your worldly ways. You come into the world naked and you leave this world without any material possessions. Put your life into right order. It is not the possessions you have and the prestige of position that will count when you face your time of judgment but the way you have lived your life. Live a life that is pleasing to God. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself.
