Daily Thoughts - Preparation. The Feast of our Lady of Guadalupe.
"Sing and rejoice, daughter Zion! Now, I am coming to dwell in your midst—oracle of the Lord." Zechariah 2:14
The sin of rejection, of denying the Word of God and His existence, to think that I know better than my Creator. Within the confines of Holy Scripture God speaks, He has been speaking to His children since the dawn of time. He is not some far away God, no He dwells amongst us, within His creation, those of us who have come to know the living power of the Holy One.
Even before His birth in Bethlehem, He dwelled amongst those who listened and did not reject Him. Rejecting Him leads to destruction, denying Him leads to misery, pain and suffering. As you prepare Him room or more room, contemplate your own journey with the King of Kings. It isn't easy knowing that in ways I reject Him but there is this understanding that in this knowledge He is perfecting His creation for He is not far off.
Dear Father God, there is peace in knowing that I am loved by You, there is no condemnation in Your voice, only the love of the Father. Thank You for our time together and the insight to see who I am in different ways. Thank you for the bountiful rain and the blessings it brings to us. May I be a pleasing offering to You in all that I say and do. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
