Just some thoughts that have been helping me through this week:
- Jesus wants to help us defeat our common enemy. When we receive Him in the Eucharist He enters our hearts to help us do battle.
- God's love for us is completely without self interest. He is not lacking or wanting anything; He is perfect. He loves us purely for our own benefit. He desires that we simply love Him in return - to adore His brilliant Majesty.
- We have to fight or die. That is life. Fight for God or be enslaved by the devil.
- Whenever I feel like pitying myself and complaining, I must stop. Jesus endured far worse than any trail I might face. Any injustice in my life is nothing compared to the horrible offenses committed against Him. How can I complain?
- The people who annoy me, the people who are rude and obnoxious.. If I truly live to love God I will not think the slightest bad thing about the people He loves so very dearly. I ought to pray that every person may love Him.
- The God of the universe suffered an unimaginable amount for my freedom.. I am free! I must now fight to protect what He has won for me.
- He is the source of all Joy :)
Be blessed and always encouraged, for God loves you! You have been in His mind from all eternity in the preeminent Immaculate Virgin, and He fashioned you with His very Finger, His Spirit made you to be just who you are, and no one else. Never forget that Jesus has made you just as you are, and He will grant you the Grace to become just what He has always meant you to be. God be with you, and may the Immaculate Mother keep you.
