“Turn my eyes to see Your face as all my fears surrender. Hold my heart within this grace, where burden turns to wonder. I will fight to follow. I will fight for love. Throw my life forever, to the triumph of the Son.”
I was simply reflecting as I was at work early in the morning by myself and I had those specific lyrics stuck in my head repeating itself over and over again..
How beautiful is it that the Lord can work in the smallest of our thoughts and transform them into an even more powerful affirmation that He is working in ALL our battles.
Crazy…**if you’ve taken notice in the way that I write reflections..I really feel that the Lord is allowing me to see His love in a very simple way. Yet, every simple affirmation remains so complex, so overwhelming to the point that where I can see God in awe and fear. **
Past that little side note, we will never stop fighting for the truth. I firmly believe that as young Catholics been given the opportunities to see the work of the Lord in our lives up until now is a calling to be part of the small percentage of the world that has been chosen to show what true love is.
How ironic is it that the way the Lord has called us to fight is to truly love one another as He did for us. To love ourselves. To love all those around us. That the battles against sin, against our worldly desires, what ever the case maybe, is worth fighting for because the Lord has something prepared for us that not even our own minds can imagine or comprehend.
To those “spiritually dry” or struggling with your faith. Its all apart of the never ending battle. Best believe that if you feel you are being attacked the most, it simply means the Lords victory ahead is going to make it worth going through again.
Simply put, the Lord is love. The cause of our joy. I will fight for love. I will fight to follow. For the triumph of the Son. Love truly is war!
