**Going Home

        Communion experience. The Lord has totally accepted me. I am getting ready to go home.

**Second Coming Certain*

          It is amazing that after two thousand years we still await the Second Coming of the LORD. Is it really going to happen? You bet! The world continues rebelling against God, so his work is not finished yet. Common sense alone tells me that he will get all things squared away one day and we'll have final order and peace. God shall be triumphant!

**Best to Come*

        I have Christ now, but the best is yet to come. And that is, I'll be knowing him in full. 

***Dying and Reliving in Christ

        To die in Christ is to let your old self pass away. Then you can start living in him to let him make you anew. Now you become a delight for the Lord to behold (not to mention yourself experiencing freedom, peace, and joy). 

**Meritorious Suffering

        When you willingly accept whatever suffering coming your way for Christ's sake, you strengthen your union with the Lord. This also stores up more treasure in heaven.

**Deciding Factor for Our Eternity

        In the final analysis, it comes down to whether we have Christ or not. 

**Sinners Made Clean**

        Communion experience. The Lord heals and purifies my soul. Feeling clean is a priceless feeling that can only be given by the Lord. This proves to me that we are indeed sinners!

**God's Peace

         The peace of God dwells deep in those who know him, serving as a ballast or anchor. Whereas their hearts can still get ruffled on the surface, that peace deep down keeps them unshaken. 

***Perfect Matching Up

        Communion experience. Here's Almighty God coming to unite with me, a lowly, poor sinner. Such is his great love and mercy.

***Excellent Way of Praying*****

        Certainly we need to pray hard. How do we go about doing it? For the Catholic, the basic prayers are Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Apostles' Creed, Holy Rosary, Chaplet of Divine of Mercy, etc., of which many were given directly to us by the Lord. And there are other beautiful prayers written by various saints and pious souls available for our use. What I really want to say is that we must not neglect making up our own prayers. These will come straight from your heart, aiming for the Lord to hear. I dare say that such prayers will please the Lord as much as the best written ones prayed earnestly, if not more. When you pray thus, you don't even need to be concerned about how accurately or well you express yourself. Sometimes, words or complete sentences are not even necessary. They are beautiful to the Lord because they originate spontaneously from your heart. Furthermore, this should greatly enhance your intimacy with him.
