Knowing God Is Bittersweet<br />
After Mass<br />
It is not you who have chosen Me, but I Who have chosen you to<br />
do My work. Open your gates wide and let Me permeate your heart!<br />
You pant for the love only I can give. Your heart is knowing and<br />
warm in your chest. Oh, the bittersweetness <strong>of</strong> knowing Me a little,<br />
but not enough! To have such a treasure, but only a glimpse. To see<br />
the golden reward but be unable to embrace it! Oh, little child, I<br />
have so much in store for you. My ways are true. I am indeed here<br />
with you with all my love. I love you so. You scarce can speak. I can<br />
give you this someday—all you crave with an aching heart. Keep<br />
yourself close to My heart. I love you so, little one. (I smell roses,<br />
but when I use my nose they don’t get stronger.)<br />
R.Dear Jesus, I scarce can speak in Your presence. You are truly<br />
here in my heart and filling my empty soul. In my sin I cried out<br />
and You heard and loved me just as I am. You love me the same<br />
when I fall and when I am walking tall. You look at me with love<br />
and You just love me. You don’t measure Your love by my<br />
actions. You love me in spite <strong>of</strong> my actions and You are so forgiving<br />
<strong>of</strong> my sick ways. You look with tender eyes and see me<br />
with such love. I do not deserve all that You give me. But I am<br />
thankful for everything You give me. My life is found in my soul<br />
and You tend to its feeding. I fall and You pick me up as a child<br />
and kiss my wounds and love me just the same. Oh Jesus, that I<br />
could only love You more, to know how You want me to be and<br />
be able to follow through. Oh, Jesus, You are so beautiful. Thank<br />
You. Praise You. Love You with awe. I adore You, I adore You!<br />
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all! How can I love Thee as I ought?<br />
I sat here in front <strong>of</strong> the tabernacle and He filled me with His<br />
presence. The longer I sat, the more I was filled. He filled me to<br />
the brim. I thought <strong>of</strong> Him and His love and His beautiful face<br />
and I was filled in my heart with warmth. Oh, such love He gives<br />
to us! Oh, Jesus, Oh, Jesus! This is real. This is the life You give.<br />
It is Your life inside. Spoon out all <strong>of</strong> me and fill me with only<br />
You. Make me selfless and surrendering to all Your ways, surrendering<br />
to Your abounding love. Come, come, Lord Jesus, fill me.<br />
Fill me to the brim and over. Let Your love flow from me to others.<br />
Overflow in my soul to spill on those I touch, especially my<br />
children. Oh, Jesus, let me touch others for You. Use me to<br />
touch their hearts and souls. Not as I do it, but You Who possess<br />
me, You Who operate my heart and my soul. They are Yours,<br />
Lord. I surrender.
