Daily Thoughts - I am Yours
"You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you." Luke 11:40-41
Sit at table with Jesus, dine with Him along with the Pharisees. What does Jesus see? He can read souls, both the inner self and the outer. He is the Creator of perfection. As children we are all made perfect except for original sin which is wiped clean with baptism.
As with the Pharisee, is the inner self in agreement with the outer self and vs versa? That is God's question with those dining with Him, He sees the conflict. And He gives the answer that will purify the cup on the inside as well as the outside. What we have is given by God, it is He that brings us back to perfection, it is us who must act upon His direction.
If we are giving God away then we are in Union. This is what Jesus was doing even in His dispute with His host.
Dear Lord God, I will dine with You at every possibility, it is in these encounters that You perfect Your creation especially when there is conflict. Enflame my heart so only You are given in Love. Prayers for a friend that is much like the Pharisee, continue Your work. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
