Who is Jesus to you?

Dear Lord, thank you for a gift of life and making me a child of Yours. Amen.


"Before prayer, endeavor to realize whose Presence you are approaching, and to whom you are about to speak. We can never fully understand how we ought to behave towards God, before whom the angles tremble." ~ Saint Teresa of Avila

I remember that a friend of mine, the priest said, "We can forget easily... We can't feel being the saints because we forget our callings." Little wonder, I felt something missing in my journey as I found my spirit being dehydrated. Although I frequent the communication with God, my relationship with God does not appear in my mind. I forgot that I am the child of God, and I am calling to be vulnerable rather than to be in the control. I used to be so proud of my sufferings with my Cross but now I gave off the pessimistic aura, according to the friends of mine. Now, I begin to understand the meaning of dynamic relationship with God and see that the spiritual journey is getting more and more fun-filled meaningful experience. Time to hibernate and reflect. I should be grateful for this cloudy sensation as Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, "The best way to show my gratitude to God is to accept everything, even my problems, with joy." Now, who is Jesus to us?

"But a soul that does not live by the love of God suffers in a different way. It is not happy because it does not correspond generously enough to divine love; it hears a call and feels an attraction to which it does not respond. God punishes it by preventing it from being at peace in the quiet of laziness which it creates for itself. How many times is God sent away in this manner!" ~ St. Peter Emyard
