Forgiveness, if carried to extremes, can lapse into servility, entailing a loss of self-respect. There are similar paradoxes associated with mercy, particularly in the context of punishment; too strong an emphasis on mercy can lead to a departure from justice. Clearly, though both forgiveness and mercy are obvious virtues, there are difficulties in putting them into practice in the complex situations that make up everyday reality.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers140 views0 answers0 votesSaint Faustina wrote, “That dreadful thought of being rejected by God is the actual torture suffered by the damned.” She also wrote, “I understood that apart from God there is no contentment anywhere.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers151 views0 answers0 votesSaint Faustina wrote, “God demands great trust from souls.” This can seem like a paradox, for many people assume that trust is something you either have or do not have, that there is no “choice” involved. And that if a soul does not trust God, then how can such a soul give to God what they do not possess? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers203 views0 answers0 votesMost thoughtful people believe there is truth to the notion, “To whom much is given, much is required.” This can create a dilemma for anyone contemplating asking for assistance, that dilemma is the fear of becoming unwittingly indebted. Saint Faustina wrote, “Once the Lord said to me, ‘Act like a beggar who does not back away when he gets more alms [than he asked for], but offers thanks the more fervently. You too, should not back away of receiving greater graces when I give them to you. I know you are unworthy, but rejoice all the more and take as many treasures from My Heart as you can carry, for then you will be pleased more. And I will tell you one more thing – take these graces not only for yourself, but also for others; that is, encourage the souls with whom you come in contact to trust in My infinite mercy. Oh, how I love those souls who have complete confidence in Me – I will do everything for them.'” This first question for Creator is, were these the words of Jesus or an Anunnaki psychic? If Jesus, what can Creator tell us about the fear that anything from the Divine will have onerous strings attached, and how can we get past that fear, that distrust?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers179 views0 answers0 votesWhen Saint Faustina was given instructions from Jesus to have her vision of him painted as a portrait for souls to approach and receive graces and inspiration from, she was further instructed to include the words, “Jesus I trust in you.” Does this suggest that the issue of “trust in the divine,” and the widespread lack thereof, is perhaps the elephant in the room? Is this indeed a significant problem for the bulk of humanity? What percentage of the population would you say have “significant trust issues” with God and anything associated with the divine? As trust is often hard-won, but easily lost, is this why so much emphasis is placed on it?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers152 views0 answers0 votesIt is clearly a divine project to restore trust in the divine. The numerous paintings resulting from the description of Jesus, that Saint Faustina wrote down in her diary, are today venerated throughout the Catholic Church. But recently, in just the last seven years, the young visionary artist Akiane painted a photo-realistic image of Jesus she aptly entitled “Jesus.” The image is remarkable on a multitude of levels. It displays great kindness, and gentleness, but also profound strength and self confidence. Jesus is looking off into the distance with a look of respect, recognition, anticipation, expectation, and reverence. But it truly connotes that whoever Jesus himself is looking at possesses the same qualities he does in even greater measure. That while Jesus is looking up, it is not out of fear of something mightier, but rather more like recognizing the approach of a beloved mentor who is simultaneously your best friend, partner, and confidant. The irresistible impulse for anyone viewing this masterpiece is to not want to stare at Jesus as much as turn our own heads and try to look at what he is looking at. Is it indeed TRUST in the divine that is the inspiration behind this masterpiece?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers142 views0 answers0 votesSaint Faustina wrote that Jesus said to her, “In convents too, there are souls that fill my Heart with joy. They bear my features; therefore the Heavenly Father looks upon them with special pleasure. They will be a marvel to Angels and men. Their number is very small. They are a defense for the world before the justice of the Heavenly Father and a means of obtaining mercy for the world. The love and sacrifice of these souls sustain the world in existence.” Are these the words of Jesus or an Anunnaki psychic? Are convents sustaining the world? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers148 views0 answers0 votesThe fact we have learned that Saint Faustina heard both the words of Jesus, and those of interlopers, creates a difficult dilemma for anyone wanting to use her diary for inspiration. Perhaps the best advice for us is the same advice her confessor, Father Jozef Andrasz, gave to her early in her vocation, “If these inspirations are not in accord with the faith or the spirit of the Church, they must be rejected immediately as coming from the evil spirit.” Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the best means by which we can obtain divine assistance to know what is truly divine in origin, and what is not, as well as obtain the confidence and trust needed to do this consistently?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers136 views0 answers0 votesMerriam-Webster’s Dictionary has a number of definitions for the word “holy.” The first one is, “exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness.” Collin’s Dictionary defines it as: “If you describe something as holy, you mean that it is considered to be special because it is connected with God or a particular religion.” What is Creator’s perspective and definition of the word “holy?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential178 views0 answers0 votesIn the King James Bible, Romans 12:1, St. Paul says: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential157 views0 answers0 votesJerry Bridges said: “We are 100 percent responsible for the pursuit of holiness, but at the same time we are 100 percent dependent upon the Holy Spirit to enable us in that pursuit. The pursuit of holiness is not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps approach to the Christian life.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential161 views0 answers0 votesFrederick William Faber said: “Happiness is a great power of holiness. Thus, kind words, by their power of producing happiness, have also a power of producing holiness, and so of winning men to God.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential148 views0 answers0 votesMonica Johnson said: “Holiness through Christ’s Spirit is the accountability every Christian should be striving towards.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential151 views0 answers0 votesRicky Martin said: “Buddha’s teachings are very simple, you don’t have to break your head to understand the message. The part that I like the most from Buddha’s teachings and from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, is that the most powerful weapon is to not attack, to be able to have self-control.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential186 views0 answers0 votesMother Angelica said: “Every Christian who strives for holiness of life experiences dryness of soul. It is to most people a heart-rending experience. It is a paradox, for the soul becomes confused when it realizes the harder it strives the further away Jesus seems to be.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential181 views0 answers0 votes
