Our God is a God of order. And for Him to create the entire universe, He had to be orderly. In His perfection were are all made perfect. In the womb of our very mother. Christ was present from the moment of conception He created flesh, bone, cells, veins, arteries, lungs, heart, brain, feet, hands, eyes, nose, lips, hair, ears, throat, tongue, every single part of you was made by Him - for Him! He Christ himself, first, wanted you. You were a part of his ultimate plan. That to me is so very beautiful. Wrap yourself in that reality and stay there - for just a while. As Father Patrick would say, don't run away from it. We are definitely Gods most miraculous creation! Every single one of us were made to live out a life that would complete us and the book He has already written. And yes, you and I are in His book of life!!! Christ invites us to participate in his plan. He gives us imagination, creativity, strength, perspective, and drive. Even with all the gifts he has provided we still have to choose whether or not to engage in his company. We can say yes, or we can deny him. It is totally up to us to use the free will he has given. And if we do choose Him, together, we begin to fill in each and every page of our life with Christ empowering us spiritually, and mentally, to the next level of life in Him. Just out of curiosity have you placed Him in the forefront of your life? If you haven't done so, I want to personally invite you to consider it. Sure we can live selfishly and not give our Lord the time of day, but we can also be very inclusive of Him. And we can see quite clearly the contrast he wants for us. We are worth so much more than the life we are living, if we are living without Him and his grace. Now from a physical perspective, he endlessly created another masterpiece. Our cells for example each and everyone of them internally will age, and die, we will die from the inside out. And then all this is left of the living would be our very souls. I find it utterly amazing how God tucked away within everyone a soul. You cannot see it, and yet it exists. And throughout our life, our soul is housed in a body. That too is a very important part of Gods plan for us. Never doubt why you were created. You became the gift, the by product of love so needed in the life of your parents. They were blessed to partake in a trinitarian miracle. He is also present at this very moment as I speak to you through this podcast. If we looked at Christ in this manner, if we could see his hand in everything we would be much more reasonable with each other. We would spend more time perfecting our imperfections that we would not dare to judge another. Allow that comment to soak in a little deeper into your psyche. We certainly are worthy people. We have zigged, hymned and hawed, through life with cuts, scratches, hurts, and healings, we certainly are a resilient people. When all is said and done we come to learn and then teach to others what we have learned before we die and leave this earth forever. The same happened to our ancestors, but my hope is that we have in fact learned the great value of our time here and we used that time for the greater glory of God and of others. And if we chose to put others before ourselves, we can see the power of God in our very midst. God has a plan. God has a face. God has us. We need to be obedient. We need to step out of His way. So that He can do marvelous works through us. Are you willing to sacrifice what you want over what God really wants from you and out of your life? It's an important question worth exploring further. I leave you on that note today.
