Being too nice is not sin!

 

6-15-25 Trying to Gain Favor with ‘the Boss’

 The Boss is Jesus, the men I'm super jealous of are Great Saints!

I am working it seems for a Boss Man & trying to be the ‘main one’ for him. But I have two male rivals who also want to be important – I’m 

jealous of them & give them deadly stares when they ‘suck up’ to the boss, getting real close to him by the door & speaking about work.

While these rivals are communicating with him I go to a table to do some work. I have several BOWLS where I’m sorting out mostly GREENS. I finish sorting & the bowl that has the GARBAGE or DISCARDED leaves, stems, bad spots or so on is showing hundreds of those old-time leaves I used to pick since 4 years old in Germany which are also growing on my upper lawn. These are like SWORDS or SCIMITARS, but soft, tender leaves, they are, hundred of them, pointing up from the bowl. These leaves are SOUR & make the MOST DELICIOUS SOUP.

          The boss is busy but I catch his attention as he’s going toward that same door & show him the bowl of what would be discarded, but I ask him to taste one of these leaves, as they are delicious. I was hoping he would want to use them after tasting them.

          He does take one leaf but I see it has a TINY little dark spot – which I think shouldn’t make a difference. He tastes it but there’s NO REACTION good or bad so I’m neither here nor there with this.

          MEANING:

*{Help, Mother God! I know leaves are ‘victory’ but other than that, I am floored. Is the Boss Man JESUS & are the men close to him MALE SAINTS that I would be JEALOUS of because of their HOLINESS?

And sorting out leaves might be what I should be doing, good or bad, nourishing the good, discarding the bad, choosing my daily activities. There is something that SEEMS GOOD but when Jesus takes one leaf to taste, it HAS A FLAW. Can you help work out the details?

MG: I does sound like Jesus & two of His Saints & of course you could be jealous of how advanced they are – you want to be like them. It might be St. Charbel & one of so many Saints you’ve been calling on lately – ones you added yesterday were St. Fulton J. Sheen & St. John Vianney – but there are a dozen other males.

And yes you’ve been asking them to look over you daily & help you with all your activities & to GET RID OF THE BAD. What could this bad be?

There are TWO HINTS. One, these leaves are SOUR, & two, they are SWORDS!

Sour is NOT SWEET. Swords CUT or could HURT or KILL. You have been praying about & concerned about what you think is your FLAW of being ‘too nice.’ People such as yourself, you noticed, don’t get as much

 

 

 

‘respect’ as the mean, the bullies, the tyrants the self centered – those who DEMAND respect & are NOT particularly nice. You’ve been feeling you must be LESS NICE & thereby get more respect & NOT get taken advantage of.

But there is a FLAW to that. It’s better to be TOO NICE & get somewhat taken advantage of used rather than being NOT NICE ENOUGH - caring less, less empathetic. After all, it is not a SIN to be ‘TOO NICE’. But being less empathetic, less sensitive to the feelings of others is being less Saintly & holy! There you have the SOUR WORDS & the WORDS that CUT LIKE A SWORD.

 Yesterday you tried out being not as nice with a person you interviewed for employment. You weren’t mean, but just ONE IOTA of being less sensitive & you dreamed you hit him on the head with a BIG STICK! In the world of God the slightest nuances are recorded – even a GLANCE – as you know – can hurt – a glance carries meaning, good or bad. It can be deadly or life-giving, hateful or loving.

The men you’re jealous of are LEANING on the shoulder of Our Lord– this shows devotion, sweetness – like St. John the Beloved, who ‘rested on the bosom’ of Our Lord at Supper. You are giving them HATEFUL LOOKS OF JEALOUSY!

The dream is showing you NOT to be concerned about being ‘too nice’ & go the other way – Jesus likes you as you are - very sensitive even if you get TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF by people! He – God – will make up to you what people take away! ‘Blessed are the poor!’

ME: In each case Jesus is by the door. Explain.

MG: It’s saying that Jesus WILL LEAVE YOU or EXIT unless you show him the TENDEREST LOVE & that is the self-sacrificing Love! That is who Jesus was/is – that is who you MUST BE if you want to be like him – the holiest of Saints like the guys you’re jealous of & giving mean looks! You gave them these looks when you experimented with GOING THE OTHER WAY being less caring – so you were projecting HATE instead of Love!

And so, stay the way you are, in fact, be more caring & loving, more sensitive, & don’t be afraid what people will do to you – live to please God, not care about people hurting you – do what you think, you know, is the holiest, most sanctified thing to do & leave it in the hands of God, trusting God to protect you.}*   {End}
