"Had your law not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts; through them you give me life. I am yours; save me, for I cherish your precepts.
I have wandered like a lost sheep; seek out your servant, for I do not forget your commandments." Psalms 119:92-94, 176
Psalms 119 - The Way. "Teach me, show me, free me, give me", all part of a conversation with God. It is not a one way conversation, your salvation is a team effort and one that can't be gained unless you are seeking it. It is a free gift but is not without effort, you can not go through life blindly and expect to end up in paradise. The good thief on the cross knew who Jesus was, he was being drawn to him and His teachings. It is so much more than meets the eye and like any good relationship, it is continually growing. In the quiet moments God gives only what the heart sees. It is a journey with Him.

What is God saying to me: I know your heart, I see your desires and I Am helping. We are doing it together, in ways that you do not realize, I Am always faithful and each day you are being faithful to My word. You are seeing what others hope to see but you have learned it comes with time and dedicated actions along with calling upon My Holy Spirit to teach, to show and to give.
Dear Father, it is always a blessed morning when we spend time together, You speak and I listen. Thank You for the gift of imagination, the gift of desire, the gift of commitment, the gift of faith. Prayers for a world that has lost its way, that denies Your existence and only seeks to serve itself. Continue to speak into the darkness and draw the lost and lonely to You and to the way to true freedom. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
