A few months ago while I was praying to God, I asked Him a question
A question that has been lingering in my mind.
I asked God,
“What gift shall I need, what gift shall I ask for O Lord?”
I felt restless, so I decided to go to the prayer room
As I reached the room
I immediately felt heavy
My shoulders were giving in
My hands finding its way to each other
My knees on the ground
There were so many things running through my mind
Aside from the question above, other questions started to emerge
I looked up at the altar
I saw the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
I was reminded of His Sacred Heart
The heart that reminded me of my ongoing journey towards sacredness
I asked yet another question,
“ O Lord, how are you calling me to sacredness?”
I reached for my Bible and prayed for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead me.
As I was reading, I was brought to this passage:
“ The spirit of Wisdom is intelligent and holy” (Wisdom 7:22)
This was exactly what I needed to hear.
I paused, absorbed each word, and remained in silence
Then I continued reading
“It is of one nature but reveals itself in many ways. It is not made of any material substance, and it moves about freely. It is clear, clean, and confident; it cannot be harmed. It loves what is good. It is sharp and unconquerable, kind, and a friend of humanity. It is dependable and sure, and has no worries.”
The Lord speaks
so personally
so profoundly
I feel the Lord was answering my prayer by showing me this passage.
Wisdom leads one to sacredness.
Wisdom
(one nature, reveals itself in many ways)
=
Intelligent
(loves, good, sharp, unconquerable, kind)
+
Holy
(clear, clean, confident, no worries)
Wisdom is a gift.
Wisdom is holy.
Wisdom shows presence, but remains humble.
Wisdom is a friend of humanity.
Lord God, I am nothing. I know nothing. Humble me, empty me and fill me. If it is your will allow me to be continue to acknowledgeYour Grace through the gifts we are so unworthy to receive.
Amen.
