Come Lord Jesus
I suppose now is as good a time as any to give thanks for God’s grace. Today was a bad day for me and I brought it with me into school, but the beautiful part was the grace shown to me through my friends in allowing me to be me. The questions and show of concern was enough to know that they care about me–even when I went out of my way to clam up or said something snide. They let me know they still love me!
One of my friends spoke today about how others have noticed the changes in her since she’s started school. Thanks be to God that others have noticed the same thing in me. They notice a “glow” about me. There IS a glow that you get when you realize that you’re in love with the Lord.
What is nice is that my friends and colleagues were able to hold up a mirror–it was the mirror of how they see me and in that reflection I could see how the darkness was taking over my personality and that it was not something I wanted to take into tomorrow (or even the rest of the night). So what did I do? I WENT TO DAILY MASS AT CHURCH.
How wonderful is our God–that he sent his only begotten son to rescue us and that we, as Catholics, have the opportunity to receive God’s grace and mercy every single day. I went to hear God’s Word and to reflect on how magnificent God is and how blessed I am to know how blessed I am.
This is new for me…taking my problems to the Lord. I give thanks to my friends for showing me that Jesus lives in them…and in me. Thank you Apollos and thank you Aquinas.
