I see people living in all kinds of fear; but do you know that when you rest in Jesus, all fears vanish? It works, not because it happens to work, but because Jesus is the truth! He simply takes care of all who trust in him.

To Know God Well
Have you ever been in awe of God? If the answer is no, then your probably don't know him very well yet.
What is the love of your life? If it's not God, then you probably don't know God that well yet.
All God Asks
All God asks of us is that we let go in him so that he may freely mold us into new creatures pleasing to him. Then our estranged relationship with him will be no more and we are welcomed back as sons and daughters of his family.

Enjoy God
God is to be worshipped, adored, and loved; but he is also to be enjoyed at all times, especially when he teaches you a lesson or fills you with joy.

The Past No Longer Relevant
I realize that if I don't know Christ today, I would be a pretty unhappy person. That's because looking back, I see that my childhood wasn't exactly happy, I studied the wrong subjects in college, didn't work at any jobs that really suited me, and wished that I had done so many things differently. I rather felt sorry for myself for having wasted most of my own life. Do I regret my past? Now that I have found Christ, the answer is a resounding "no." It's this past that lead me to Christ. The joy has wiped out all the sorrows! What the past was like is no longer relevant because having Christ is all that matters.

Sorrow to Gratitude to Joy
It's Friday, the day to pray the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. When I thought about the suffering Jesus underwent, I felt great sorrow. Then after I realized that he did it so that we could be saved, gratitude followed. Finally, when I saw that I had been saved and was to return to the bosom of the Father, gratitude turned into great joy. A beautiful progression. And the best is yet to come!
Following God
To show our trust in the Lord, let us not waste any time mulling over things that could happen but have not happened yet. Seek to do God's will alone and not what we want for ourselves. Follow, follow, and follow ~ let things happen the Lord's way.
The Lord Uplifts Us
After I received Holy Communion this morning, I felt that I was being lifted to a new level of existence. Call it a closer union, a renewal in the Holy Spirit or whatever ~ a new freedom was experienced.
A Most Significant Question
In today's Gospel reading from Mark 8:34-9:1, Jesus sayings deserve our utmost attention. The most poignant question he asked: "What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" It's clear that our life continues on into eternity. The question is serious, most significant, and one that we must consider in our spiritual journey.
