“If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it.”
St. Thomas of Villanova
Each new day becomes another glorious experience of God if I take the time to listen to God through prayer and meditation. God is forever coming closer to me with LOVE AND INNER PEACE AND QUIET JOY. My short journey on this earth is to consciously choose God, which consists of turning my heart and mind toward God, who keeps pouring LOVE, HELP, HEALING, AND HUMILITY into me. I realize more that each moment of life is meant to be a glorious walk with God and a glorious journey into God. IN GOD, MY SOUL WILL ALWAYS BE AT REST. ” I believe, O Lord. Increase my Faith.”
God is always loving me. God is always healing me. God is always coming closer to me. Life is always meant to be a loving journey into God, no matter what might happen to me or around me. Each moment is meant for me to be a sacred moment with God. But for this awareness to stay firmly embedded in me, I absolutely need this meaningful, quiet time each morning with God. And I want to be loving and kind to everyone. And then I become so mesmerized to realize how deeply God loves me. IN GOD, MY SOUL IS AT REST.
Every moment is filled with God’s Loving Presence. The more I pay attention to this fundamental reality of life, the more my heart, mind, and soul open up to this LOVING GOD who wants to pour more LOVE into me so that I will bring this LOVE to others. Life is meant to be very simple. Experience God’s Loving Presence and bring that LOVING PRESENCE to others by always being kind and loving. What a joy to experience God. What a joy to be LOVING AND KIND. Life is all about embracing God’s Love coming toward me and simply loving everyone. AND THERE GOD IS.
