Daily Thoughts - Make God Known


Daily Thoughts - Make God Known

2740 The prayer of Jesus makes Christian prayer an efficacious petition. He is its model, he prays in us and with us. Since the heart of the Son seeks only what pleases the Father, how could the prayer of the children of adoption be centered on the gifts rather than the Giver?

The gift or the Giver?  Which do you seek?  Knowing your answer will indicate where you are at within the body of Christ.  Is it a surface love that seeks without knowing or is it a deep rooted love that has experienced the love of God over and over again.  Our prayer reflects our relationship with God the Father, it shows us who we place our trust in.  No matter where "I" am at in my prayer life, God always has our best interest at heart.  He knows what type of rain the soil needs to develop the deep rooted love He has for us within our own souls.   

The story of God's love for us is repeated again and again so we recognize our own misgivings and come to realize that the Father will never stop until we are firmly planted within His Holy Family.  Then we adopt His mission of becoming the flesh and blood of Jesus within our world.  It is written within scripture.  

Moses was rescued from sure death by the wife of the Pharaoh.  His real mother knew the love of God and trusted that God would find away.  Was it the story of Joesph that enflamed her heart that made her realize that no harm would come to her child in the River Nile?  As we read scripture and see the person, our own lives are revealed.  Not some far off place but our very own family that trusted God the Giver not the gift of God.  

Dear Lord God, I see a sister loving You, willing to sacrifice her son knowing that You would not abandon her prayer.  Her depth of love goes beyond the pangs of a mothers love.  Within this example is Mary, willing to give up her Son to ransom all.  I thank You Father for the history lesson this morning, for the peace that comes from You when all does not fit into place.  Prayers for a friend wandering in the desert, feeling abandoned, may he come to know Your love for him.  Bless this day and all it has to offer.   Love Your son. 

Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us. 
St Joesph, Pray for us.
