Spiritual Reflections at, TX US - Jesus, the Beloved

LOVE.... By George Herbert (1593-1633) Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back, Guilty of dust and sin. But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack From my first entrance in, Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning, If I lacked anything. 'A guest', I answered, 'worthy to be here'. Love said, 'You shall be he'. 'I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear, I cannot look on thee'. Love took my hand, and smiling did reply, 'Who made the eyes but I?'. 'Truth, Lord, but I have marred them; let my shame Go where it doth deserve'. 'And know you not', says Love,'who bore the blame?'. 'My dear, then I will serve'. 'You must sit down', says Love, 'and taste my meat.' So I did sit and eat. All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Him...so that God may be everything to everyone... Though he was in the form of God, Jesus did not deem equality with God someting to be grasped at. Rather, he emptied himself and took the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men. He was known to be of human estate, and it was thus that he humbled himself, obediently accepting even death, death on a cross! Because of this, God highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name, above every other name, So that at Jesus' name every knee must bend in the heavens, on the earth, and under the earth, and every tongue proclaim to the glory of God the Father: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! --Phil. 2: 6-11 COME INTO MY DIVINE LOVE Our Lord Speaks to All Nations... Through the MISSIONARY SERVANTS OF HOLY LOVE, an Ecumenical Community, Ohio. 1/5/02 “I am your Jesus, born Incarnate. My brothers and sisters, My victory is composed of the Holy Love that is within each human heart. Therefore, anything that stands in the way of your complete surrender to Holy Love in each present moment opposes My victory. Perhaps it is unforgiveness or perhaps you have a doubting heart and, therefore, you cannot accept the truths I come to tell you. Perhaps you have some sinful habit you are unwilling to say ‘no’ to. Even idle gossip or impatience oppose your complete surrender and, therefore, My victory. You must love Me more to surrender more completely.” “Every heart holds sway over nations and the world. For what opposes complete surrender to Holy Love comes between the soul and Me—your country and Me—the world and Me. Understand then your surrender in the present moment has a universal effect.” “Do not be surprised, little lambs, when I tell you that your response to Heaven’s call towards personal holiness carries with it universal impact. For it is each soul’s response to love God above all else, and his neighbor as himself that determines the course of human history. Lack of Holy Love pulls the soul off course and creates an abyss between Heaven and earth. Then nature and the course of human events are changed forever.” “It is discord between the Divine Will of My Father in Heaven and free will which causes wars, cataclysmic events in nature, and moral apathy. Only through harmony between the Divine Will and free will can the decadent society become whole and prosper in the eyes of God and man.” “Then understand, if you do not choose personal holiness in the present moment, you are choosing not to be holy—not to love. It is always imperfections in Holy Love that pull you away from Me. Therefore, choose to be perfect—not for yourself alone, but for love of Me.” “I am extending to each one present today My Blessing of Divine Love.”
