Week 15 - The Journey Day 7
""When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me." John 15:26
Jesus speaks, I listen! I pondered the world we live in, the constant barrage of voices that are speaking their truth. It has an effect on us especially if God is not part of our day. I thought about the Spirit of truth and what He is saying to me? Do my actions speak of Him, do they speak of the love that He has for me? Does my life replicate His? I am sorry to say it doesn't, at least not yet. It is a journey into the heart of God and we are pilgrims on that journey.
I recognize my own faults as I compare myself to Christ, I see my own weaknesses as I examine my actions. Yet I know I am loved by Him. The Spirit of truth does not condemn, He shows us areas were sin has a foothold, for me it is always being right. And this typically gets me in trouble, especially with the boss. So as you sit with God today, is there enough evidence to convict you for being a follower of Christ, your actions will speak for themselves. "This I command you: love one another." John 15:17
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, I see the constant barrage that comes at us each day, You know what our hearts desire, give us the hope to live with You for ever. Transform the world we live in by encountering each of us where we are at, convict us to change our ways and give us strength to do so. Prayers for those on the battlefield, willing to take on what comes at them, may Love one another be our battle cry in action. Open our hearts to hear Your message, I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Solace of the Afflicted, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
