The art of writing is still an important skill very much needed and very much respected by the faithful. I personally crave to discover that special Christian connection if you will with those individuals that reveal to us how each and every day Christ is at the center of their life, he is our divine inspiration, living deep, within our heart, our mind, and our soul. He is in our eyes, and as we look at another person, in actuality, we are seeing the Christ! If we are really paying attention, we can see ourselves, by and through the reflection of another persons eyes, they can speak volumes to the liking or disliking of our behavior. We can even see the disappointment of another if we choose the wrong words. So it is critical my brothers and sisters to know that when we look into the eyes of another person we are looking at Jesus Christ living in them. Jesus presents himself in many ways. He is every where, everything belongs to him. God created perfection look all around you. He wants us to strive for perfection even though we know we will not obtain it. Because if we were all perfect we wouldn't need God. And that would be a big mistake. To take him out of our life after he had blessed us with the gift of life would be an atrosity. So we take great caution in choosing how we live. Every Christian has to choose between good and evil. Heaven and hell. Life and death. God gives us the option of free will. To be obedient to his teachings and truth or follow other Gods. In so choosing to be in God, and seeing how he works and lives and breathes in us, I cannot imagine ever choosing to live without his guidance, protection, and promises. And when I choose daily to follow him in truth, I get to grow in that truth with him and I find myself on this journey that allows me to be free, to be happy, to be at peace, in knowing he is in control of every part of my being. I don't second guess what he is doing in and through my life as I prepare this podcast for you. I know he loves us, he wants what is best for us. And nothing is more important than growing in his love. It is there we mature out of our immaturity, it is there we prosper in our family life, our interactions with loved ones, and it is our duty to be responsible in our person, so that God can continue bestowing his graces upon us even when we sleep. We never have to doubt our lives because we live in Jesus Christ. He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. We are nothing more than a speck of sand, miniscule in the scheme of his creation. And that's a good barometer to go by because when we are puffed up and full of ourselves it is there, we get ourselves into trouble that causes us to sin, and when we sin and we go on living in that sin, it eventually destroys the goodness God has given to us. He is our joy, as we make our way through every sorrow. His loving hand lifts us up constantly because he created us out of love, out of joy, and wants the absolute best for us. Christ is living in us even when we are lost in the darkest night of the soul, he is beside you when you are beside yourself, wrestling with the devil whispering lies. Never forget he was the most beautiful angel God had ever created. He wants to snatch up every souls on their death bed. We must be very protective our soul from this final damnation. We live in the land of the dead, as Father Patrick O' Doherty states. For when Jesus comes for us, he will takes us into the land of the living. And you and I must be ready. We must prepare our soul for eternity right now! We must give Christ our yes and live daily in the state of grace. And if we sin go to confession, receive absolution, and not sin again.
