Daily Thoughts - In between.
"But we hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being given up to death for the sake of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh." 2 Corinthians 4:7-11
In between, Heaven and earth. The treasure contained within this earthen vessel is of God, the desire that it seeks is of Heaven. And it remains here being purified with the knowledge from above. Knowing that it's attainment that it seeks will never be satisfied until it is in front of the beatified vision.
Until then it's charge is to not seek what is below, it is only temporal but to seek what is above, it is eternal. So the ache that one feels is from God, it is grace being revealed within the flesh. So in between is not a bad place, keeps you focused on what is necessary. Have a blessed day.
Dear Father, You place within us this treasure, the treasure of knowing and of not quite containing on this side of Heaven. Thank You for the grace of the Love of Your Son and Holy family. The ache is a Holy ache, one that purifies us as we are being prepared for Heaven. Prayers for a friend in the vineyard, guide her path, share her joy with others that opens the door to Heaven. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Mount Caramel, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pillar of Families, Peay for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
