**God Is Good!

        God is not just to be praised, worshipped, and adored; he is also to be one with us and enjoyed by us!

Power of God

        Communion experience. I felt ready to go to my Lord. Once you possess him fully, your life is completely fulfilled.

***Freeing the Holy Spirit

        We ask the Lord to send his Spirit to renew the face of the earth. The Lord is ready, but are we? We can go through the ceremony of Confirmation, but if our heart is not in it, nothing dramatic will happen. The key to preparing ourselves properly is to submit ourselves to God first. Without our submission, the hands of the Spirit are tied, so to speak. This is not talked about much probably because yielding to God is the most difficult step for anyone to take in the spiritual life, which is all about how much we let God be God. Anyhow, the Lord is readier than we are, so surrender yourself to him to let him do what you ask of him. This, in fact, is one basic principle of living the successful Christian life. 

*Drink of the Holy Spirit Fully

        Today is Pentecost Sunday, celebrating the birthday of the Church. From the second reading of 1 Corinthians, Paul writes: In one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. The Holy Spirit is indeed the one who can unify all Christians and of whom our spirits need to drink to get sanctified. If your heart is not on fire yet, ask the Holy Spirit to zap you and he'll do just that – I am speaking from personal experience. The Christian life comes alive once you are aware that the Spirit does dwell within you. 

God of Peace

        Communion experience. Perfect peace can only be found in the God of Christ, the Lord lets me see.

*Good Enough Relationship

        No one on earth can understand us perfectly, but God knows us perfectly and that is good enough for us! Then if we let him in for us to get to know him well, we'll have a relationship good enough for the Lord too.        

Man's Big Error

        Believing that God is beyond reach or that he does not care about us.

Man's Biggest Flaw

        Lack of humility before God.

Tragic Reality

        God loves us to death, but the world does not wish to be aware of that.         

***Living Forever With God

        Communion experience. Every time I receive the Lord in Holy Communion, he heals my soul. This prepares my soul well for meeting him. Today I feel that he is all mine and I am all his. With God, you just live forever!
