Week 37 - The Journey
"You yourselves can testify that I said [that] I am not the Messiah, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens to him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease." John 3:28-30
Covenant Relationship. John the evangelist recalls his first teacher that introduced him to Jesus, the bridegroom. He witnessed John the Baptist's life as he pursued his calling of preparing others, including himself to receive the Word of God. John the Baptist took his rightful place and moved into the background.
In covenant relationship, our lives take on purpose and meaning. He has control of all situations and like John, we give Him, His rightful place in our lives. Our pride and ego subside for it is He that leads the way. It is pride and ego that got Lucifer banned in the eternal fire of hell. It is the lack of pride and ego, the overwhelming sense of joy and peace that brings us into eternal life.
I must decrease and He must increase. Without Him, I am nothing and will become nothing without Him. We find Him in daily prayer, in the silence of our hearts.
What is God saying to me? Even in the daily movements of the day, I whisper to you. Do you listen.
Dear Father, it has been a fruitful weekend with lots of memories and more to come. Thank You for the blessings of family and friends. Thank You for the grace of this day and the joy that brings about peace in all situations. Watch over us and do not allow the noice of this world interfere in our covenant relationship, especially when I slip up.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.

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