I Seek to Find Souls Who Understand Me

​Exerpt from The Father Speaks to His Children


What do I desire to achieve with this work of love, if not to find hearts able to understand Me?

I am the holiness of which I possess the perfect and full expression; I offer you this holiness, of which I am the Author, through My Holy Spirit, and I instill it in your souls through My Son's merits.  It is through My Son and the Holy Spirit that I am coming to you and into you, and it is in you that I seek My repose.

To some souls, the words "I am coming into you" will seem a mystery, but it is not a mystery! Because, having instructed My Son to institute the Holy Eucharist, I intended to come to you every time you receive the Sacred Host!

Of course, nothing prevented Me from coming to you even before the Eucharist, as nothing is impossible to Me! But receiving this Sacrament is an action that is easy to understand and it shows how I come to you!

When I am in you, I can more easily give you what I possess, provided that you ask Me for it. Through this Sacrament you are intimately united with Me. It is in this intimacy that the outpouring of My love makes My holiness spread into your souls.

I fill you with My love, then you have only to ask Me for the virtues and perfection you need and you can be sure that in those moments when God is reposing in His creatures, nothing will be refused you.

Since you know My favourite place of rest, are you not going to offer Me it? I am your Father and your God; will you dare refuse Me this? Oh, do not let Me suffer because of your cruelty towards a Father Who is asking you for this one favour for Himself.

This first sentence strikes me hard.  To achieve this work of love, He desires to find hearts able to understand Him.  This sounds like there aren’t too many, even very few.  So I ask myself, what does it take to understand Him?  Well, firstly, one has to believe that God is good, and that He can only desire our good. We need to believe that He truly loves us, that whatever He says comes from a place of love.  If we can get to this place then we need to believe that what He says is always true, that God is incapable of being wrong or false or lying.  If I believe that what He says is true, the last but most important factor in understanding Him is that we truly love Him.  That we love Him for who He is and not just for what He does or can do for us.  To understand Him we need to be beyond the need based relationship with Him, where we love Him mostly out of our need of Him, like small children with their parents.  

When we have misunderstandings with people, it is often because one or more of these characteristics are missing.  We don’t trust the person speaking, or that they are coming from a place of love, or that they have our good as their intention but perceive they have ulterior motives underlying.  But when we do trust them and believe they love us and want our good, and if our hearts are open to them out of love for them, how much easier it is to understand them.  Why? Because love indeed makes all things easier.  People can be difficult to understand sometimes.  They can be very complex, and what is going on in them at any given moment can be a labyrinth of complexities that even they are not aware of. But God is supremely simple.  He means what He says and says what He means, always.  There are no ulterior motives, no manipulations, no hidden agendas.  He is neither neurotic nor psychotic.  He is not susceptible to pressure, bullying, threat or emotional manipulation.  He is Truth, He is Love, He is Mercy, He is Goodness.  God is simple.

Then He says that He seeks to be in us, to be intimately united to us, so that He can give us what He possesses more easily to make us holy.  

Then He ends by telling us He would suffer if we refuse to give Him ourselves, to allow Him a place of rest in our souls.  He calls it cruel to refuse this one request when it is the only thing He asks of us after giving us everything.  And do we think He asks this for His sake?  He knows this is where our happiness lies, and so it makes Him happy to be able to give to us what we need to be holy, because it is holiness that makes us happy.  He says toward the beginning of this book that His greatest delight is to dwell in men.  He knows how much we need Him, and therefore He wants to be able to give to us all that we need, so that we can be holy, so that we can be happy, in this life and in eternity.
