Why the Delay?

Mary

Why wait? Why hold back? Why do the gifts not pour forth? Why the delay? Should I not just pour out my blessings? Should I not force them upon mankind for his own good?

This approach would forget the whole purpose in creating the human race. Man is called to know and love God and live with him forever. Man can rejoice in God only if he freely chooses God.

The heavenly Father gave man all the blessings of creation. Man took these to himself and forgot the Father. Jesus poured out his blood of redemption. Man has set him aside also.

It is the human heart, the soul, the person that is important. All humanity must come to faith. They must see the works of God, know that these blessings came from God and, then, the most important step, give glory to God so they can live forever.

Selfish humanity claims God’s gifts and forgets the Giver. Humanity ruins itself and walks its present, destructive path. A time will come when I will pour out unimaginable blessings.

Right now, man’s heart must be made ready to receive.

Comment: In these locutions, Mary has often explained her plan. Today, she explains that she must hold back the gifts until man is made ready to receive them.
