Surrender to the Heart of Jesus

Jesus:  "My beloved friend, tell my people how I want them to surrender to my heart.  I have taught you that the more you surrender to me the greater is your peace, joy, and happiness.  I have shown you that the more you allow me to control your life, to direct your life, the happier you become.  I have shown you how fruitless it is for a person to want to control one's own life.  A person has a choice:  as a finite, weak creature to try to control things himself, or in humility to throw himself into my arms. the arms of One Who is all-loving and all-powerful.

"I give you the grace to increasingly surrender to My Heart.  In doing so you experience My love and power in an extraordinary way.  Teach my people these lessons.  Tell them to listen to My words.  I am Lord and Master, and I desire all to heed My request!  I give this message out of My great love for My People!"


Reflection:  We have a tendency to want to control our own destiny.  We find it difficult at times - sometimes very difficult to abandon ourselves to God.  We find it difficult to let go and surrender completely to Christ, to trust Him completely.

And yet, this is what we must do to achieve our ongoing sanctification.  Why should we be afraid to surrender?  Who would you rather depend on?



This text came from a prayer card I was lead to in the back of an Adoration chapel.  It was one of twelve cards.  Six cards with unique writings and then duplicates of the six equaling twelve.  Each card has its own message from Jesus.  I know they are authentic so I am sharing this one for now.  God bless.
