JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

Vol. 11 – May 22, 1912- True love is not subject to discontents.

As I was in my usual state, blessed Jesus came for a little, and since I was feeling a certain discontent in me, He told me:  “My daughter, true love is not subject to discontents; rather, from the very discontents it takes the opportunity to change them into the most beautiful contentments by virtue of love.  More so, since, being the contentment of contentments, I cannot tolerate any discontent in the soul who loves Me, as I Myself feel her discontent more than if it were my own rather than hers, and I am forced to give her whatever thing renders content in order to have her all conformed to Me.  Otherwise, there would be some clashing and dissimilar fibers, heartbeats or thoughts which would make us lose the best of our harmony, and I cannot tolerate all this in one who truly loves Me.

Moreover, true love operates out of love, and out of love it does not operate; it asks out of love, and out of love it surrenders.  So, true love ends all in love; out of love it dies, and out of love it rises again.”

And I:  ‘Jesus, it seems that You want to escape me with this talking, but know that I am not giving up.  For now, You surrender to me out of love; do for me an act of love and surrender to that which is so necessary to me, and to which I am so bound.  As for the rest, I surrender everything to You.  Otherwise I will be discontent.”  And Jesus:  “You want to win by dint of discontents.”  He smiled and He disappeared.

Scripture Meditation- Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. ¹² I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. ¹³ I can do all things in him who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:11-13)

Prayer- O Lord we bless You, we adore You and we honor You! True love never says enough but is content in all circumstances. Without You we can do nothing but in You and with You we can do everything in Your Will!
