Week 25 - The Journey Day 7


"Amen, amen, I say to you, the hour is coming and is now here when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live." ‭‭John‬ ‭5:25‬

Jesus boldly claims who He is, you are there, who do you say He is?  What do you hear?  Listening takes effort and listening to God brings life.  "You were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you once lived following the age of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the desires of our flesh, following the wishes of the flesh and the impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ (by grace you have been saved),"
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:1-5‬

Hearing God changes everything, the choices you make, the actions are different, your thoughts are different, your desires are different, you are no longer dead to God's Word.  You are alive, You are a new creation.  
What is God saying to me: Live your life, I gave it to you.

Dear Father, knowing what I know, I just want others to know.  I see Jesus's struggle to get their attention but sometimes it takes 38 years before someone is ready to listen, before they come to the reality that the god of their life isn't You and now they are ready.  You hold nothing back from us, it is our own will and hard of hearing that causes the pain.  May the hour be now for those who are ready to hear.  I ask this in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer, Amen.  

Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b
