Daily Thoughts - Encounter
"Who may go up the mountain of the Lord? Who can stand in his holy place? "The clean of hand and pure of heart, who has not given his soul to useless things, what is vain." Psalms 24:3-4
I journey with Simon this morning as he encounters Jesus and I watch how God takes a sinful man who is convicted when he is in His presence and begin the transformation. Jesus does not except his rejection, it would almost appear that He seeks him out. God shows us how He writes straight on crooked lines.
The authority of God as He seeks us out. Losten to His words, they are for each of us. "Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."" Luke 5:10. This was the beginning of Simon Peter's journey, how many more times did he reject
Christ and how many more times did Jesus come to him with love.
It is God who cleanses the heart, it is God who heals the soul, It is Him who comes no matter how many times He has been rejected. Encounter the Living Christ in your life through scripture. It isn't Simon Peter's story, it is your story as you put out into the deep. Have a blessed day!
What is God saying to me? Be at peace, it is I who changes you, with your help.
Dear Father, I sit along side you now after many mornings and each time we visit there is a newness to the same stories, a depth that was not there before. I thank You for cleansing a sinful man a little bit each day. May I serve you well each day even in my failures. Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
Saint Joesph, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
