Knowing about how Jesus came down from Heaven, lived a very humble life, became an itinerant Teacher, showing us how we were going in the wrong direction by continuously adding more to the basic “10” rules to abide by, guided the lost, healed the sick, forgave those who condemned Him to death, endured tortured far beyond any human could endure, died and didn’t stop there and say, Good Riddance!” but opened the Gates of Heaven, went to the pits of hell rescued repentant sinners, all to fullfill His Father’s Promise to help point us in the direction back to God’s Promise for Eternal life, and I, still allow things of this world to divert my attentions away from being present to Jesus in prayer.
If a stranger, friend, sibling, parent, grandparent or other acquaintance or relative dared to do a sixth of what Jesus did, I would be so very joyed by the devotion, love and loyalty being shown to me in real time. I know I would not be so readily quick to dismiss such love and valor. I know I’d be shouting accolades and singing their praises for the outpouring of such Love and never -ending support and concern.
Yet again, I sit here, in a battle with my earthly presence of discomfort trying to and convince myself that I am far to exhausted to take time to thank the Lord for another day.
How utterly ridiculous this is to think, I can even entertain the idea. I cannot believe I have am trying to bow out tonight, instead of shouting from the rooftops how wonderful God is, and why I am seriously thinking of not praising my Lord and Savior for all He has given. Crime He gave His all in every way imaginable.
When I think of all He has done forgave us, I feel like an ungrateful, whiny two year old. In the Garden of Gethesamane, Jesus asked his apostles to say awake with Him as He was truly feeling earthly fear, and called them.out when they could not stay awake and Prayer but an hour with Him. Who am I to think I can convince the Lord I did so much as to warrant a pass to not share my thanks to the One Who Loves me most.
Of course Our Lord Jesus Christ, is patient. Yes, He is Kind, and of course, He gives us Free Will to come to Him or turn our back on Him. He loves us that much, but He does ask us to come to Him often and to Give Thanks to Him.
This is al my pray to You Dear God:
Lord, this openess to jotting down my struggles to present to You, in this world plagued distractions, I offer this as my prayer and time to lay it all out, and You first and Foremost hear my sprrow, accept my human frailty, and offering this on an open forum, You may use this post to comfort, lift up and inspire another, giving the Hope and they find solace in the words I felt moved to share. I pray their restlessness in the fight to draw closure to You, encourages them to move closure to You, inspite of the any struggle, pain, sorrow or suffering they are feeling for in the end, we do feel the Peace You shower on us after we pray. It is just another affirmation from You to let us know Prayer makes a difference! This is the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad.
Blessings this Pentecost Sunday 🕊 ✝️
