He: "Lend Me your hand to write. Lend Me your voice to teach the little ones the living truth. Lend Me your gestures to love them. And to cheer your pastor in his duties, lend Me your kindness. In this way, through you, I shall be among them, among yours. Your influence will be increased and you will think less of yourself. 'This is not the fruit of my effort,'you will say. 'Jesus was there with me.' Say it to yourself over and over again; it will keep you humble. And humility is truth.
Lend Me your body too, when you travel, when you toil, when you eat and when you sleep. I did all these things when I lived among men. Make Me live again among them; and they must be aware of Me. The grace of God - this beautiful, this wonderous grace - is never withheld from those who, through the instrumentality of someone (it could be you if you wish), leave behind their usual indifference and begin to aspire greater intimacy with their Saviour. As for you, don't bargain with Me, but go joyously to your post when I call you. Say to yourself, 'He wants me there.' And with that, you will remain courageous and at peace. You remember what courage it took me to fulfill My mission to the very end ? Imitate Me. Am I not the elder Brother, who sets and example because the Father has confided His secrets to Him? Confide in Me, My child. Tell Me about yourself quite simply. I understand everything so well. You know that, don't you? And yet, I love to have you explain all your emotions and fears and desires. Would you love Me as much if I were more distant ? I am your centre and your end. I am your circumference. Wherever your eyes may turn, they will see Me. In you, all around you. Everywhere." Jesus Loves You. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unlimited Internet access for only $21.95/month. Try MSN!
