As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend before me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God.
Today, I stand here in complete awe and surrender of the Lord and His mighty ways. The more I wonder why my life is a certain way, the more it is revealed to me. I left a job which made me feel so unsafe and against my values and returned home to be welcomed by a hospital which has a beautiful altar and begin each day with prayers and the Word of the Lord and end with evening Rosary.
I am amazed how I was home in time to take my dad to the hospital for an emergency condition and presently recovering from his surgery! I was actually very confused about my future decision but with every passing day I know I was needed just where I am and the Lord needs my services to my family and His people at my own hometown.
there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
than over ninety-nine righteous people
who have no need of repentance.
I am that one sinner.
WE all are that ” one ” sinner at some point in our lives, maybe now maybe later or maybe some day in the past!!!! and many more times in our lives! and every time we stray away, he awaits for us patiently… hoping we find Him and His master plan for our lives in the chaos
My life at this moment is spinning, while I had to drive across the state for work commitment, leaving my poor dad in pain, I prayed as I sped across the road, asking to help navigate the day and find my way in the chaos, I did. Today as I encounter any disturbance in my daily schedule or stray into life of my choices and it doesnt pan out the way I want it, I just pause and close my eyes and say ” seriously Lord ? this is for me?!” and fight the urge to go into a temper tantrum but instead find a logical solution through it. It has taken me a while to refocus my stressful moments on the Lord as even when I return to Him in these tiny moment of daily frustrations and mess ups.
Let us focus on acknowledging our response to such situations and accepting them as a sign from above! And be that one stray sinner who walked back into His arms!
PRAYER:
Forgive me Father, for being selfish and needy when I knew that I was chosen by you for a reason. Help me Lord to focus on being a better human and person at every time of adversity and change. Help me to accept your plan as mine and always believe in you through good and bad.
AMEN
