***How to Get Along with God

        The Lord God means everything he says always. If we do that also, then we and God will surely get along with each other well.  

***How to Not Judge Others

        When we are totally willing to let the Lord God judge us, we stop judging others. 

***New Prayer Experience***

         I learned of some news who broke my heart. I never thought people could be this evil (demonic is the word), so oblivious of God's love for them. I feel sorry for the people these evildoers hurt, but most of all I feel sorry for the Lord who bears the brunt of all such attacks. I felt called to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to atone for our sins. I stood before the Divine Mercy image of the Lord and prayed from my heart and my soul with closed eyes, and I felt the presence of the Lord and knew he heard every word I uttered. This was a new prayer experience because I felt the Lord so close and intimate that it's almost unreal! I thoroughly enjoyed it and will never forget those seven or eight minutes I spent with him. May this be the beginning of a new phase of my walk with the Lord.

**God Tidies up and Completes Me

        Communion time thoughts. Before I know Christ, my life was like a pile of jigsaw puzzle pieces not yet put together. After I find Christ, it's like he not only puts all those pieces together, but also turns out himself to be the main piece needed to complete that puzzle. Life changes from a pile of mess to an integral beautiful picture!

***Why Spread the Gospel?

        Is this really my business as a Christian? The question is almost as basic as asking why Jesus should come to us. It's all about letting the truth be known. Genuine truth is most compelling. Christians who have been revealed the truth is so filled with joy that it'd be impossible for them not to share it with others, for God's pure love has set them free! Their most ardent desire now is to proclaim the good news to save as many souls as possible for the glory of God.

**Greatest Adventure

        The Lord is infinite. By submitting ourselves to him, we receive his peace and power. Then we go deep into him and find the experience to be most exciting with so much to explore and learn. In the process we are transformed into new, holy creatures. Knowing God has to be our most rewarding adventure.

*****How to Defend the Lord Against Evil

        We must realize that the Evil One attacks God by attacking us, for he knows that he loves us. So we need to be strong and holy. The Lord showed me that the best way to achieve that is to learn to suffer along with him. If we are not afraid of suffering for his sake, Satan just won't be able to touch us anymore. This is the secret, the breakthrough we need in defending the Lord in his warfare against the Evil One.

***Total Abandonment in God***

        This means you focus upon serving the Lord alone and not wonder about how well you are doing or how things might turn out. With ego and pride completely absent, you leave the outcome totally to the Lord. This is also how you preserve you inner peace.

***God Is Great for Us

        Whatever God does to us is always thorough and complete. When he secures my soul, it's secured forever! This is one big reason I love and trust in him. So be wise and remain with and in him always. Don't ever make him cast you out.

***Unbeatable Joy Awaits Me

    Today's entire Gospel reading, John 16:20-23: Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.” I just know that one day my joy will make me forget all my past pains, for there is no joy that can beat the joy of being home with my God and Father! And this is also the joy no one can take away from me. Knowing all this alone is enough to make me rejoice right now.
