“YOU CLAIM TO BE A PERSON OF GOD, BUT YOU DON’T ACT LIKE IT.”

That was the harsh criticism I got yesterday! But luckily, I had just read this in an appointment with God:

“Who is anything beside the infinitely great God? And you… you are nothing but wretchedness.”

That’s me, all day long – nothing but misery (filled with mental sufferings like regrets, hurts, pain, anguish, failure, torment, disappointments, and agony). So much so, that I laugh at myself the way I go all over the place with my emotions all day! ‘Nikki, what is wrong with you!’ I continually ask myself! I constantly fall short of the person I strive and want to be. But here is what the person writing this book felt God had to say to her:

“I feed this wretchedness every morning with My Eucharist because I want to keep you in my friendship, for I am drawn to the weakest and the poorest. Give Me everything that you blame yourself, since I am the one who transforms even the ugliest, the lowest, the most vile. I transmute everything into the gold of My glory. How can this be done? By love.”

And that love from God has changed everything for me. People may judge me, cut me off, and say whatever they want about me, but I keep my eyes solidly fixed on God. His grace is sufficient. He has truly been my greatest friend who loves me unconditionally, despite what anyone thinks or feels.

This is the GREAT LOVE I hope to share with you. Like I’d been procrastinating about going somewhere for about a week now. I finally called and asked if I could go to a closer location, five minutes from my house, and they agreed. After writing in my post yesterday that life is a joyous journey and adventure with God, I go to this office and meet a sign there saying: “Life isn’t a race…find JOY in the JOURNEY.” I KNEW THIS WAS God speaking to me, and I was exactly where He wanted me to be in that moment. I’ve had to slow my roll down this week, feeling so tired, after I’ve been running around like a crazy lady. God, I got the message – life is not a race, Nik!

Once you get to know God, you’ll start to find glimpses of His Presence everywhere you go. ‘God, what have I done to deserve Your kindness?’ Some may call that sign a coincident, but because I know God, I know me going to that office and not the other one, hours after writing that post, was all orchestrated by Him to speak to me. That’s the love I’ve gotten to know from Him and what I want you to experience. We’re all nothing but wretchedness, but wretchedness entirely and unconditionally loved by God. Others may reject us, but God loves us regardless! And His love is enough! He is our greatest friend – FOR REAL FOR REAL! I’m sticking close to Him!
