Messenger:

To see with eyes unveiled the working of satan in our lives that stop us from obedience to His Plan.

 

The commandments must be obeyed.

God gives us the commandments.

God gives us His Word.

 

The more I study the writings I have been given and the Word (scriptures), the writings of the Church the encyclicals - the more I know the Plan of the Father.

I know God the Father as I view the vision He has given to me as I study the gifts of His creation.

 

It is very difficult to see so clearly and to, at times, feel almost shocked at how blind the world is to the will of the Father.

 

My focus is to live in His Plan and to have the wider vision-always a wider vision.

 

For me this happens when I go to the Eucharist and am filled with more grace

when I am in prayer,

when I am in suffering and very close to Jesus,

 

We must work in the structure God has given to us.

 

I know the Power is in the Eucharist.

 

I see myself as the Spouse of the Lamb, the bridegroom of my soul.

 

Now I speak to my beloved Jesus.

 

My God I have thirsted to serve you more as you desire and tried to do what you have asked me to do in this tremendous Plan.

 

Sufferings seem to come for me in lent.

 

Sufferings on Friday between 12:00 and 3:00.

 

To give God what He really wants is my desire, but I can deeply get in touch with Him when I drive along the river here and I see the change of seasons-

I see the ice and snow; I see the green of the trees in summer; I see the sun so bright on the water it looks as a sea of glass; I see the autumn leaves reflected on the beautiful river - I see - I know more my God the Creator.

 

I see the ocean -the Atlantic -the Gulf -I see the ride to China - trees on a windy road-hilly

One dress for spring

another dress for winter

another dress for summer and oh such glory of autumn -the beauty of these beautiful leaves.

 

I want to serve Him in a world where there is sometimes little peace, little obedience, where the vision of the Divine God can almost seem to be hidden in the eyes of some and yet

I measure its beauty with a heart filled with greater love for Him.

 

My heart swells at seeing the vastness and beauty of His creation

the song of my heart is a song of little birds it seems so much more joyous of the bright and beautiful day than to us who are so very richly blessed by our Divine God.

 

Oh little birds sing so someone will take notice of the gifts of the Creator.

 

Oh Divine God open our wounded hearts to come out of our bleeding hearts and see the sun lit day and the gifts we really possess.

 

Have mercy on us to learn about all you want us to know from praying and studying your creation and pondering your gifts.

 

The little children played by a glistening little pond and the lily pads were so gently set in place.

Little children were sensitive to this beautiful place their mother had taken them to play.

 

They ran and giggled gaily and loved all the precious sights they saw.

 

Now what is so with us that sometimes we even miss the sunset and the blue skies against an autumn arrangement of beautiful trees.

 

Vision-Vision-it is vision

one sows and another reaps

One is born and another dies

one plants flowers -another tears them up for no reason.

 

God let our eyes stay focused on your beauty.

 

Let us see the wondrous sky you plant everyday and enjoy a little sprinkle of spring rain that waters the land and helps the flowers bloom so beautiful.

Let us love with the gentleness of the one who shed His Blood for our sins

and ponder the mystery of being "other" focused and still not leave out the truth as paramount in our lives.

 

God gave us the commandments on stone.

God gives us soft supple little hearts that can run the whole body.

 

God is our God who is the Creator and gives us miracles and His Plan.

 

God loves us so much.

 

Let our vision be made wider.

Let us seek the vision of God.

Reach for the high mountain and gaze at the little blue sea.

Watch the sun set under snow covered mountains where some autumn trees also surround the scene.

 

Oh God your beauty in the Maroon Bells.

the mountains above the snake shaped lakes

the beauty of the reflection of the high things in the low seas.

The world below the divers know.

 

How could so much be down there.

Like another world.

 

Vision.

 

Did you ever stand and put your hands in your pockets on a cold day.

Well the next day is warm-do you still stand by with hands in the pockets.

No you let your hands extend and be full in that warm day exploring and doing things.

 

Well the day is cold and frigid and you may have climbed in like a turtle hiding inside his shell.

 

But God is calling you to spread your arms and lift your neck out of your shell and see -

see as never before the vision through the eyes of Jesus and Mary -

Vision to see by giving your lives to the Hearts of pure love and seeing with the wide vision

Freedom to know God's will and live it

See with eyes unveiled the beauty of God's Plan

see through the eyes of Mary and Jesus the vision God imparts to us.

 

See through the eyes of Mary and Jesus.

Live the one Plan that never fails the Father's Plan.

 

Love with the fire from the Heart of Jesus in the Holy Spirit.

 

Breath to breath the simple things with the dynamism of knowing more the Author of all life.

 

In this lent-taste the new day

go to the hill and watch the sun rise

see the lily pads

Look at the ocean

see the vastness of the sky

 

Gaze with love on the Exposed Eucharist

See a New Day of joy and love.

 

Wider Vision. The Vision of the Father-gaze at the vast ocean and the sky above and gasp at the gifts God has given

Seek to know the wider vision.

 

Amen

God's Blue book III - The Carpenter

June 12, 1994

You are he who goes to a carpenter to learn to make a cabinet. You know nothing. You do not have any idea of what you are to do. The carpenter knows exactly. He has a procedure whereby his plan will be accomplished. Every detail must be observed. He is the Master. You do not have the talent. You need talent to do woodwork. If you were given the talent and the directions, you could accomplish this task with such beauty.

I am the carpenter. You are he who needs to be taught. You lack the talent. You need the gifts of the Spirit to accomplish My task! You come to Me in total ignorance. You are open, the Spirit fills you with the gifts. You have everything you need to do My work. The Father created you to accomplish His tasks. You are perfect. You must come open. You must know the plan. The plan is His Will for you. If you do not follow the plan, the cabinet will not be built correctly.

I am the Master. I guide you. I love you. I give you all you need. I walk you through every move. If you try on your own, you have a problem. You know not the way to build cabinets. You know not the way to Me on your own. You must come to Me to be taught. To go it alone is to your own detriment.

Oh, little one, it is so simple. You, in your will, want to work your own plans. You know not how to do it. Only I can teach you what you need to know. Oh, please come to Me. I have all you need. The Spirit fills you with the gifts to know, love and serve God. To go it alone is like trying to build the cabinet with no knowledge of woodworking. Oh, little ones, I love you. Come to Me. Let Me teach you. The Will of the Father is the happiness for your life.

I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am God. I, God, long to be with you and teach you. Go not off on your own. Come to Me. I love you so!
