GOD’S GOODNESS
For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. – Hosea 6:6
What is loyalty? It is fixing your eyes
on a person you want to follow because you trust him. It is like a
child to his parents, a student to his teacher, a wife to her husband, a
believer to His God — all of these in a trustful and a loving
relationship.
I was thrust into a relationship with God at the age of seven in a
Catholic school. That’s where I learned to pray the rosary and came to
know the life of Jesus. This is a typical life for a Catholic.
It may be typical but not ordinary. Loyalty and relationship has led me to an extraordinary life. For me, this has been filled with prosperity, joy and the good life. It has been a life not without trials, but filled with His mercy and grace. His mercy is manifest in His infinite goodness and His grace being ever so present during those times when evil is imminent. This is why I am loyal — because His loyalty and
faithfulness to me is beyond measure. Donna España (donna@homeliving.com.ph)
Reflection: A heart that follows hard after Jesus leads to a life filled with His goodness and grace.
Your love, Lord, is made manifest to those who obey and follow You. By Your grace, I will always follow Your will in my life.
St. Maximillian, pray for us.
