Communion experience. I experience the most powerful force in the whole universe, God's LOVE for us. Receiving him is receiving his all-transforming love.

**Telling God Everything*
In today's Gospel reading from John 15, Jesus said to his disciples, "I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father." The Lords never holds back any truth from us. Do we tell him everything about ourselves? Of course, hiding anything from him is futile, for he knows everything already. To create the best relationship of trust with the Lord, we need to tell him everything about us. This is to show that we are l00% open to him and don't mind him knowing everything about us.
*****Most Merciful and Faithful
From today's reading from Psalm 57, we heard read "I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O LORD, I will chant your praise among the nations. For your mercy towers to the heavens, and your faithfulness to the skies." Indeed, the Lord is the most merciful and faithful of all the beings. How can we not trust in him with all our soul and with all our heart? And it is so good that we have him to trust in!

**Communion experience
I feet that receiving the Lord in the Holy Eucharist is my greatest blessing!
**Heaven's Got My Back*
That God alone backs me is good enough. Then I realize that all the angels and saints in heaven are for me too, and I become extra strong. Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
***True Ignorance*
The world has become so godless and tumultuous that we need to return to God, repent, and become obedient most urgently. Despite that, life is so short that we can die and face God at any moment. So now is the time to jump-start your spiritual life. God awaits us, but time doesn't. Delaying facing the Lord is truly not knowing what you do.
***All God Expects from Us***
The Lord has sacrificed his only Son to save us. What can we sacrifice for him? Knowing that he's thoroughly aware of our limitations, I believe that he'd be satisfied and pleased if we just die to ourselves, set aside our own will, and let his will be done always.
**Our Perfect Example
In today's Gospel reading from John 15, Jesus said to his disciples, "If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love." So let's imitate Jesus by keeping all God's commandments to remain in his love.
*****Only One We Must Need*****
I've been realizing many old truths again. Today I became acutely aware of our absolute dependence upon God. My every breath, every heart beat, everything I accomplish . . . they are all dependent upon the Lord alone. I would instantly cease to exist should he so wish! We need to cling to him for our existence as well as for eternal life. He is the only one we truly need most dearly!
