The book "He and I" by Gabrielle Bossis is a collection of journals she wrote over a 14-year period from 1936 to 1950. She hears a "Voice" speaking in her mind, and after a time of doubts, she concludes "it is the Lord". I have read this book countless times in the last 2 years. Here are a few entries to ponder. Each one stands on its own and is worthy of some reflection.
"Sometimes I created frightening situations in order to test your confidence. Give it to Me often."
"Enjoy Me. Give yourself a rest from saying prayers so that you may enjoy My love."
"Give importance only to what is eternal."
"The same things are not asked of every person."
"If you knew how I wait for you... how I wait for souls . . . ".
"Receive every trial as though it came from My hand."
"Make use of the gifts you have received and you will please Me."
"I am beauty in all its forms."
"Don't wait for the big events of your life to have something to offer Me. Offer Me everything."
"Get out of yourself. Give Me your trust and then let yourself drift along wherever I take you."
"My delight is to be with the children of men."
"It will be clear to others that it's not because you deserve it that I speak to you, but because my compassionate heart needs to do so."
"Talk to Me. For Me there is no sweeter prayer."
"Above all. confidence! When you have an anxiety and you can do nothing about it, just think 'He will straighten that out for me' and go back into the peace within Me."
