**God Is Different

When we do anything, we often have doubts, feel uncertain, or become overconfident and take a chance, etc. But when we deal with God, know that he's always genuine, trustworthy, loving, and knows exactly what's best for us, his yes meaning yes and his no, no. So consult him and follow his guidance in all things.

How to Love God Right

Submit your mind totally to your heart and love the Lord with all your heart. It's a total waste of time to seek the Lord with your mind.

***When You Pray for God's Mercy . . .

you are submitting yourself to him.

Reason I Am Overjoyed

I've found Christ to be the exact and only one I need. I can abandon myself to him, no more worries; my eternity is all set; I am loved by him; and he is absolutely a delight!

***How to Get Jusified by God*

From today's Gospel reading from Luke 18, we heard Jesus addressing the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. They both went to the temple area to pray. The humble tax collector went home justified, but not the proud Pharisee. The lesson from the Lord: Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted. So be humble and the Lord will come to you to exalt you!

**Love over All Else*

In today's reading 1 from Hosea 6, we heart "What I want is love, not sacrifice." Love covers it all. If you love, you may be called to sacrifice, not the other way around. Furthermore, to love is to be like God who is love.

The Lone Truth

This must be familia to you, but do you really believe in it? It's important that we do, so that I'll state it now one more time: The God of Christ is the only one who can forgive our sins and save us.

**Praying for Enemies*

Jesus from the cross prayed for those who crucified him: "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." So if we can overcome our native feelings and pray for our enemies, he would be greatly pleased.

*****Leaping for Joy

I usually get to church a little early before Mass begins. I would remain in my car outside the church and say some of my usual prayers. This morning I felt the presence of my Lord and my heart just went for him! I understood then why baby John the Baptist leaped for joy in the womb of his mother Elizabeth when her cousin Mary who was pregnant with Jesus greeted her.

**What to Do with Aging Years*

As we age, we seem to linger on. This is the perfect time for us to commune with, serve, and glorify the Lord at every opportunity, or better yet, at all times.

*Simple Conclusion***

I just realize that of course I am going to Christ since I already sense his presence at all times.

**How God Rewards Us

Many of us have been give special talents by God. If you're so gifted and use your talent to honor and glorify the Lord, you will surely be rewarded by him in heaven and perhaps on earth also. But you are gifted and use your talent exclusively for your own gain, you'll be rewarded by him on earth only. So it's our choice.

WHERE IS FEAR OF GOD?

I carried a heavy heart all day today after I listened to Joe Biden's State of the Union Speech at the House of Representatives yesterday. Incredibly, he said that he'd like to have Roe vs. Wade restored so that abortion can become legal again. As you know, since the Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion came down from the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973, at least 60 millions of unborn children had been aborted by 2017 (see my post here). Finally, in June of 2022, the current court overturned that decision, realizing that it was a mistake. Now Biden wants to resume killing the unborn—how horrible! All the Democrats sitting on one side cheered loudly. Satan must be cheering too. I pity their souls, for they didn't know what they're doing. The Republican half sitting on the other side remained silent. The scene of the last judgment in which Christ will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left came to my mind. I could only beg for God's mercy.
Biden still proclaims that he's a Catholic. Officially, any Catholic who openly goes against the teachings of the Church would be excommunicated, yet for Biden, the debate has been going on for quite some time. It just shows that Satan has also infiltrated the Church. We are in end times.
