I see God

**Satan Himself frequently appears as an angel of light.

Why would God appear to you when you previously said you reject Jesus?

No one comes to the Father but by Jesus.**

If you look at her later post you would see that this light leads her toward Loving:

It leads and draws me to a desire for complete self-giving and purely loving God because He is God. It makes me feel like I could love God forever and never tire of it. It also saddens me because I see how little love I am capable of giving.

Satan cannot lead one to Love.

Although I am not sure what was happening in the case of the Poster here, but we should not forget that Jesus appeared to Saint Paul while he was seeking to kill Christians.

Yet I somehow feel and know that this is not satan …the thing I used to know that bore the trappings of “jesus” - the thing I rejected, I am quiet sure that could very well have been satan as it was slowly destroying me.
But this being that I see and know and hear? It is not satan because of it’s fruit … I feel joy and hope in all that is beautiful and love, and this isn’t a delusional hope.

This comes under the heading I like to call:

"Scrooge Gets no credit for changing!!!"

It means that a person is not given credit for growing.
The term “Scrooge” is not one of redemptive growth, Christian charity and giving, but rather one of greed, evil, and avarice.
Yet at the end of the Story, Scrooge is a fine example of Christian Love.

Likewise you are holding U-gal to a statement made early last month instead recognizing her desire to grow learn and become more.

She also has a thread entitled:What “belief” in Jesus.

There is much more to her than you are giving credit for.

Also I might point out that God will choose how and to whom he wishes to reveal Himself and His Love.

Peace
James

You have never given up on me James, and I thank you for this. You have always been kind to me and looked for what’s good in me even though at times there was no reason to give me such credit. I believe that all this time it was God talking through you to me and showing me he understands my* humanity * - I am not a saint but a weak imperfect human.

Yes I have ‘stuffed up’ so to speak. When I wrote the ‘I reject Jesus’ post that was in the midst of a great spiritual tribulation and yes I fell … badly. I have now seen whilst in prayer that this light is the Lord, he came to me veiled in light because earlier I would not have been able to bear that this being was Him. I accept Jesus - not the construct I knew before, but the Lord of Light I have discovered now.

I rejected Jesus so how could God appear to me? … because He didn’t reject me I am going to stick to this beautiful God of Love that I have discovered.

Thank you U-Gal. I guess I see some of me in you. The struggle is so difficult at times, yet we must persevere if we are to find our way home.

May God continue to lead you. May you continue to share with us.

James

P.S. Thank you for the “Litany” from your other post. I made only a couple of minor changes to fit me personally and I say it every morning. It is a beautiful gift.

This is not a promotion of private revelations. Rather it is a question I have and would like an opinion on. I believe I see God, well actually i don’t “believe” i see God, I DO see God, or at least some being that guides me in faith and is always with me especially during the hardest times of my life. I don;t see any set person but a dazzling light, a beautiful dazzling light that is the absolute epitome of all that is beautiful. I believe it is God that I see. Do you think that’s a mistaken belief?

Hello Gal,

It may be your angel. Your Guardian Angel that is.

Ask the Lord for discernment for what you are seeing. The 2nd letter of St. John offers a way of testing the spirit to know if it is of God or of the antichrist. “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh”.
I don’t know if your vision is only visual or if it is accompanied by locutions.
My suggestion is to continue to do the basic things: Regular confession, communion, attending mass, rosary.
Seek the counsel of a good, holy priest.

Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.

I am actually going today to a benedictine nun - a spiritual counsellor / director

I have a work to do, a mission that is mine to accomplish … (I’ve never had a mission before ) so I will be discerning that. The only thing I can say is it is one of reparation - so much reparation is needed because so few people love God. I also have to make reparation (as an act of love) for my failings.

If anyone here is available, could you please also offer a prayer, a kind word or deed as reparation to our God. Please spend a few moments to simply flood him with love.

I won’t share anymore in this forum because I know private revelations cannot be promoted. Please pray for me

I’m praying for you, U-gal. Thank you for posting this. I am at a point where I am having a very difficult time loving a person that I need to love, who is treating me very badly. The first paragraph above made me cry. I needed that. The person we love the least in this world - that is how much we love God.

Sure, but you gotta tell us your name. Because this week, in praying, I had to refer you as “uglygal”. I said something like “Dear Lord, help uglygal, the one on CAF…”.

The Bible says that the heart is deceitful above all things.

it says that but David before dieing said to Salomon listen to your heart. I think. It was actually in a movie but I think it is in the bible to as they wouldn’t put random words at such a important moment.

Yes, they would. The liberties screenwriters take with the Bible amaze me at time.

maybe its your holy guardian angel…the saints have said they can appear as light…you are very blessed and have been given a special gift from god

Having read some of your posts charting your spiritual journey, link below, I believe other posters should check them too before advising on this thread, you have an unusual amount of questions regarding Satan, Hell, demons, etc:

forums.catholic-questions.org/search.php?searchid=8342396

I would advise **extreme **caution in regards to these visions. Extreme caution. No, I don’t know you at all and I mean only the best for you, but your journey has seemingly left you incredibly vulnerable. God knows, literally, that what you need in your life is some normality, not visions. These are highly unlikely to be from God. However wonderful and filled with love they may make you feel, you should treat them as false, and reject them. And use the means available to the Church to protect yourself from them, Holy water, Rosary, Confession, etc. My advice, take it or leave it, is contact the Diocese and ask for a specially trained priest in these matters to help you.

If you truly believe they are genuine, and do all these things, the ultimate outcome should speak for itself.

I do not know. Maybe yes ,meybe know. If you feel good by that light , than is that positive thing. Before that light , did you think abou that the will be great that you see God, or that you see God through beautiful dazzling light?
