My People,
Good Morning! To me the 2 words I begin within this
letter means HOPE. Every day is a new beginning and I wish for you everything
wonderful.
I wish you LOVE – A whole world of it.
I wish you JOY - We all require it.
I wish you HAPINESS – A whole load of laughter just
like my Abba Father. Laugh with all your heart – like the sound of Thunder.
Mark
1:11 states: and a voice came from heaven, “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee
I am well pleased.”
Yesterday, the 4th November, 2014 - I was
to post this on the blog. The Spirit of God advised me to hold on.
Day 1st November (1-11), 2014 – On my way
from work, I was already late for the mass. I kept looking at my cell and counting
the minutes. I heard Jesus tell me, ‘I don’t count the minutes, I count your
presence.’ I kept my cell back.
There is this lady who does read in the Church. And
she is a little peculiar (odd behaviour). While doing the reading she kind of
looks at everyone like saying you, you and you. But that’s not odd, because she
takes the effort to practise before hand on the reading, which is a good thing.
What seems odd though is that after the reading, while still on the altar, she
will suddenly fold her hands and bow while maintaining silence. The first time
I saw, I was a little baffled. It is kind of a holier than thou image. Isn’t
that sad?
I thought that maybe I could be wrong. One fine day,
this same lady, was seated on the first bench in the Church and talking on her
cell, so much for holiness.
We don’t need to prove to be holy to anyone. Holy is
how we come to be in our daily association with God.
Paul states: You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our behavior to you believers; 1 Thessalonians 2:10
Blameless means to have no deceit of any kind. No
impure thoughts. Paul was a free man. He lived a blameless life.
Day 31st October, 2014 – I am on my way
to work. At 6:15 am. I pass Mt. Carmels Church. Fr. Ashlyn lifts the ‘Holy
Eucharist’ - The Body of Christ. I couldn’t believe the Eucharist was such a
huge circle that I couldn’t see the face. I know what I saw.
The funny thing about life is that some people are
always meant to climb and get to be at the top of the ladder. They become the
top bosses. Funny because when at the bottom they always have bad things to say
of the one at the top and when they find their way to getting there they forget
how really bad it is. They become the bad they saw in others.
Rarely will you come across, a person who is really
humble being at the top. Forget the ratio. I will give you an example right now
I think you would agree, Pope Francis, the true Jesus.
Coming back to the 31st October, 2014 – Jesus
drew my attention to Himself, saying that no matter what heights in life we
climb, and the higher we go, that much more humble we must become. Jesus became
even more humble to explain to me from that distance I was at. He made Himself
visible to me, to draw my attention.
Of all the goals people have, it will be almost
impossible to get there without discipline.
When we sit quiet in the presence of God, we also
need to trust in God completely.
When God asks us to do something, we cannot do it
successfully unless we lean on Him. John 15:5 says …Apart from Me you can do
nothing.
Some of the best moments of my life are spent simply
sitting quietly in God’s presence, letting Him know that I am nothing without
His Will.
I believe when we want good results, we need to
let God take charge and bring out
the best in us, as He knows what is our requirement.
In the beginning, disciplining oneself can be
difficult, only because one does it by themselves. But every time one listens to God, doing His Will, it gets a little easier.
Remember, you have what it takes. Draw on God’s
power to help you achieve what is in His Will for you.
Following God’s Will is the hardest thing to do.
Surrender to God and ask God what He wants for you-the answer will come and you
will feel contentment.
The answer is in THE COMPLETE SURRENDER OF ONESELF.
Day 26th October, 2014 - 10:15 am mass - I
loved the way this priest in particular delivered the homily on love. It was
spectacular and I enjoyed listening. I do not know his name but the day I do, I
will update the name here. Its 2 days before my dad’s birthday.
Paul in 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states: I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.
As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry.
God’s calling on all of us, is to help people grow up to have the abundant life Jesus died for us all to have.
If ever there is something that I could say to you,
my words would be to remind you that you are loved by the Almighty God and that
you are fearfully and wonderfully made. And if there is something that
needs to be corrected in either you or
me then I pray to the Almighty God that He guide us both with His wisdom and
give us the grace that we need to take the right step boldly and with Love.
Our life is a living sermon. At work or at any place
that we are - our life is for and to encourage others by showing them the love of God.
Remember, actions speak louder than words.
We are the children of the most High God and our
life should be such that it reflects the love of God. You and I must become the
heart that is enflamed with love and draws other hearts to the One that bleeds
with love for all.
With God we are safe even in the hardest of times.
Our lives should reflect our faith in the Truth. We must be prepared to leave our Comfort Zones. Living in the world means we’re always going to see things and hear things that make us a little uncomfortable. And that’s OK. Sometimes God places us in situations where we’re uncomfortable. All we need to do is let our light shine.
These are tough times and we need God more than ever. Let us be His light into the darkest areas of the world. Amen.
God gives us His strength, comfort and help at all
times. In John 16:7 Jesus uses several words to describe the incredible work of
the Holy Spirit.
Comforter - The Holy Spirit knows us
better than anyone else, and when life is painful, He becomes our strength and
healing right where we hurt.
Counselor - The Holy Spirit is our
Counselor, and as we seek Him, He can reveal in a few moments things we could
never discover on our own.
Helper - The truth - the Holy Spirit
is concerned about everything that concerns each and every one of us. The more
we acknowledge the Holy Spirit and ask for help, the more we’ll discover His
presence and ability in everything we do.
Advocate - The Holy Spirit, pleads to
God on our behalf. He’s not only our Advocate to the Father, but the Holy
Spirit also accompanies us through life—defending us at all times. Whatever the
situation take comfort knowing that God Himself is on our side.
Intercessor - The Holy Spirit intercedes
on our behalf to the Father and He also comes to our aid and helps us to pray
that perfect prayer when we don’t know what or how to pray. Romans 8:26
1 Corinthians 2:11 says no one knows the mind of God
except the Spirit of God. Strengthen - Isaiah 40:29 says that God …gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength.
We need to ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen
us—because every single one of us requires God’s strength to accomplish His
will in our lives.
The Holy Spirit is waiting for an opening in our
lives…waiting for us to ask for His comfort, counsel, guidance, and help. He is
with us everywhere we go.
Three things - keep the Spirit of God at a distance.
- Complaining keeps us from being thankful for all God has done, is doing and will do. Be determined to thank God in all things, at all times
- Self-pity is simply a 'poor me' attitude.
- Pride takes credit for what God has done and steals His glory.
Lean on the Spirit of God with absolute trust in His
wisdom and goodness.
With all my Love,
For Love Prevails!AnitA.
