17th January 2012 (Morning Prayer)
My dear little one,
Give glory to God by the humble way you live your life. Others will come to know the love of God by this humble example of holy love. I have asked you to deny self – serving others instead of expecting others to serve you. It takes courage to follow this path of selflessness because the world has become consumed with self so to die to self is foreign to many who are entrenched in the ways of the world. Satan’s worldly ways are subtle and his smoke screen fools many. Stay awake. I have told you many times you must be as stealthy as the fox but as gentle as the lamb. Do not look at others and the lives they lead. Take this time to purify your thoughts, your words and your deeds and you will be used powerfully to help others in the time to come. Do not be afraid to die to self with the knowledge that you will rise up to live a new life of holy love. All must go through the purification of body, mind and soul. Do not wait until the last moment. Use this time you have been given wisely. Clean the interior first. All goodness flows out from a heart that is clean and pure. All evil intentions flow out from a heart that is unclean. Look to the deadly sins that most overlook – pride, jealousy/envy, gluttony, greed, anger, lust and laziness. Examine well how you live your life. Strive to change the old, sinful patterns from darkness into My light. Let your prideful ways die to a life of humility. Let anger give way to love. Let gluttony be changed to temperance and lust exchanged for self-control. Allow any lazy ways to die and instead embrace a zeal for God’s way – greed to generosity of spirit and envy to selflessness. I have called you forth and commissioned you to go out and bear fruit – fruit that will last. I say to you again give glory to God by the way you live your life.
