We can be very sick morally. So sick, we fall to our knees and call on God for help. Thankfully we have the gift of faith available for anyone seeking the truth, and the power to recieve God into our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. We have a rich resource found within the presence of our creator. No matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, we can stop, fall to our knees, and be in the presence of our Lord. Sometimes we just need to stop the train of life and be still. We need to be still in order to feel the presence of our almighty God enter into our conscience. Can God remain there when we are experiencing such distance from Him? Can we bring ourselves back to Him, and renounce the ways of the world? Our Lord can do anything he wants. We have the opportunity to re engage and live a life worthy of his company. Sometimes we have to fall so far away from his presence, we need to see the contrast to believe his existence is real. So many have fallen away from God. They believe they can live a life without him. I can't imagine, a life time, nor an eternity, without my creator. Especially knowing as a Catholic, what our faith teachings are, and the prayers of my ancestors that have paved the way for our very lives, even though we may have zigged and zagged, we end up finding the Christ! I know generations who have lived before us. They were a very prayerful group of men and women who suffered greatly through famines and wars. They had less but they loved more, and respect was important, and being truthful meant something. I have no idea whatsoever as to how we have all lost our way in being the way we are today compared to what we were during the time of our ancestors. There is a right way, and there is a wrong way, and it seems to me we are moving in a direction that is fatal. We need to come back to the way of Christ's teachings. We need to desire the Christ. His holiness is a part of Christianity, and Christianity was given to us by God to keep his people on the right path of truth, justice, and freedom. Most of us desire peace in our homes, in our communities, and in our personal lives. We desire what is good because God himself placed every single good desire in every heart he has ever created. The madness we see in the world today was not created by God. The darkness that has overshadowed the goodness sadly has entered into the hearts of men and women who have walked away from God. We were given direction in this life and if we have chosen to walk away from what is right, what is just, we create chaos. We turn away from the light and follow the darkness and punishment follows. We do this to ourselves knowingly, purposefully, and sadly we self destruct. But there is still hope for those who choose the light of Christ. They are given another chance to live in the light of Jesus. They choose him over the darkness that overshadowed their hearts and minds because they wanted what is good. Goodness can be received by the sole choices that we make. We can choose Christ /renounce all evil. We can live again in his truth and in his glory. We can prepare our future by living in him today and preparing ourself for eternal life. A moment in Christ can become an eternity in Christ, if we so choose. Let us choose correctly while we still can. Let us prepare ourself, for the journey of our very soul. Let us do so right now, while we still have all our senses. You are of great worth. You are loved. You are worthy of eternal life forever with Jesus. You are a part of Jesus lineage, never waver from this truth I now share with you tonight. Be still and know God is love. Allow HIS love to rest in you! Choose Him and be free!
