Exchange

 I have a lot to offer, as a human being, but it seems as if what I have to offer is not needed by anyone. While it is distressing to feel that way as a humn being, God does not enjoy feeling worthless any more than anyone else. It is a sign of our times, that it should be that way, but it is exactly that way.

If people are distressed by messages made by seers have spoken lately, they should meditate very deeply on that moment.

God will show Himself to anyone sincerely loving Him, and He is attracted by the good things we do, especially if it is unselfish and giving, because unselfishness and giving are precise definition of who and what God is.

God has been giving people warnings for a very long time. It was not His transgression that caused us to be expelled from Eden and to suffer death, it was us. That there have been so many wars ought wake us up. War seems to be something engrained in human beings as they are these days. It is equally true that little children do not engage in hate, wars, crimes or violence, it is grown up humans. 

So before the winter comes and the snow starts flying, let us plan to warm to God and bloom in loving Him, because the remedy for our sin is His love. The crucifixion is the starkest  expression of love God has ever made, and every sin pales before His love. 

My heart is open to saving souls and suffering for it, but only God can make it happen in a way that is not demeaning, though whatever happens to us as a result of our willingness to suffer so something meaningful can be offered God is likely going to be demeaning.And before we cry out against injustice, we should examine whether it is us or God that is being demeaned. I can tell you that in the comparison, it is God who has certainly been demeaned a thousand fold more than us.

There is nothing we can say meaningully than "My Lord I love Thee". Let our actions be our statement of love for Him. He tells us to love one another - we should love one another, not worry about reckoning ledgers of who transgressed us or how deeply they may have offended us. We are entirely too fixated on judgements against other people, otherwise war would be something unknown. 

If being so identified with Christ, I have bloody wounds, then so be it; let me be humiliated and my feelings hurt, if that is something efficacious to heal the wounds of the world. Love one another, and you need not be afraid of chastisements. If there is to be a "rapture", know that it is those left behind who may offer something even more precious and substantial toward God, and offer a sacrifice that may truly be worthy. Unselfishness allows God to draw close to us, while selfishness does the opposite.

Let us be more aware of the exchange of our love with God and His love with us.
