JOURNEY INTO THE DIVINE WILL

From the Writings of Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta

Date: January 21, 1907

Description: Book of Heaven. Vol. 7, January 21, 1907. One who always loves Jesus cannot displease Him.

Luisa:

Finding myself in my usual state, I was saying in my interior: ‘Lord, let it be that I may be all Yours and that I may be always, always with You, and that I may never separate from You. However, while I am with You, do not permit that I may be a goad that embitters You, that I may bother You, that I may displease You, but that I may be a goad that is present in You to sustain You when You are tired or oppressed, that consoles You when You are bothered by the other creatures. ’ While I was saying this, blessed Jesus told me:

Jesus:

“My daughter, one who is in the continuous attitude of loving Me is always with Me, and can never be a goad that gives Me bother, but a goad that sustains Me, that relieves Me, that soothes Me. In fact, true love has this as its own: it renders the beloved content. Besides, one who always loves Me can never displease Me, because love absorbs the whole person. At the most, there might be little things, and the soul herself does not even realize that she may displease Me, but love itself takes on the commitment to purify her, so that I may always find my delights in her. ” (Book of Heaven) (Divinewillapp.com)

Scripture Meditation- ¹⁶ So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. (1 John 4:16).

Reflection- O Lord, we love You, we adore You and we thank You because we can never displease You if we are loving You always. You cover for what we lack and You always find Your delight in us. In Psalm 147:11 You tell us ¹¹ but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. With so much indifference and outright hatred toward You in the world may we always be the little ones who love You in the name of all!
