Today.

"We ought every day to renew our resolution and to rouse ourselves to fervor, as if it were the first day of our conversion, saying 'Help me, Lord God, in my good resolve and in thy holy service and give me grace this very day really and truly to begin, for what i hvae done till now is nothing.....We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it in our power to be in heaven with Him right now, to be happy with Him now menas lving like He loves, helping like He helps, giving as He gives, serving as He serves, rescuing as He rescues, being with hin 24 hours a day, touching Him in His distressing disguise.

Jesus is going to do great things with you if you let Him, and if you dont try to interfere with Him. We interfere with God's plans when we push in someone or something else not suitable for us. Be strict with yourself, and with what you are recieving from the outside. People may come with wonderful ideas, with beautiful things, but anything that takes you away from the reality of what you have given to God must remain outside.

No need for us to despair. No need for us to be discouraged. No need, if we have understood the tenderness of God's love.

One thing Jesus asks me; that i lean on Him; that in Him and only in Him I put complete trust; that I surrender myself to Him unreservedly. Even when all goes wrong and I feel as if I am a ship without a compass, i must give myself completely to Him. I must not attempt to control God's actions, i must not count the stages in the journey He would have me make. I must not desire a clear perception of my advance upon the road, must now know precisley where i am upon the way...

The simplicity of our life of contemplation makes us see the face of God in everything, everyone, and everywhere, all the time"

-Mother Teresa



tough. but i am willing to work on it. I read this today as i was at the gym. and it hit me, kinda hard...Its certainly something to think about, this is an everyday thing-trusting, leaning, and giving yourself to Him everyday. Lord, help me.
