Week 18 - The Journey Day 6
"John answered them all, saying, "I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire." Luke 3:16
"John answered them all, saying, "I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire." Luke 3:16
John has spent his life being prepared to share what was given to him in his mother's womb, the gift of the Holy Spirit and the fire of love. The Journey that John has been on is now coming to fulfillment and Jesus is the one who gives us His Spirit.
It is the journey that prepares us, John's life has been spent being obedient to the will of God. There was no magic pill that led to a perfect world. The Journey with the holy Spirit is the perfect world. A thirsty world looks for the easy path and John having traveled the path of life is doing what he loves to do, share the joy of being touched by God's divine nature, the Holy Spirit.
What is God saying to me? The fire of My love is what gives you life. The path is not easy but after each turn or rocky climb you come away stronger. There is purpose, stay the course on this crooked road.
Dear Father, You prepare us out in this desert wasteland, showing us what is truly important and what is fluff. I thank You for the difficult moments, for the trials and opportunities to grow as a person. I thank You for those we Journey with, without them it would not make sense. Prayers for a world looking for the easy way when it is just the opposite. Bless this day, may we be ever faithful to You, in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Spiritual Vessel, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Ardent, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
