Kind of late but, here is a quick reflection I found on my phone that I had forgotten I wrote during the busyness of TNC 2014 prep.
During these past few months, I was reminded time and time again of how beautiful and simple the Lord’s love can be. The Lord is so simple and yet he can love so extravagantly, so abundantly and so overwhelmingly.
With so many things going on at the same time, it has been very difficult to prioritize. With trying to meet the demands of my work place, to getting a surprise visit from my family out of town, to TNC prep, it has been that much more difficult to prioritize the important from unimportant.
In very suttle ways, the Lord continued to show me my weaknesses and where I had been lacking. But even more so, He continued to console me.
“Keep Me in your heart, I will be your source of strength.”
As long as I kept Him in my heart, nothing could go wrong. Nothing could take away all of the joy I was experiencing.
In His still small voice He said,
“My child, when you think of me, you will think of good things. I want your lips to be filled with my beautiful words. Your eyes to see the beauty of my creations. Your hands to feel the warmth of my love. And your ears to hear My sweet song of love for you.”
I am so loved by the Lord! He definitely
“He must increase, but I must decrease.”
– John 3:30
“He asks for your own heart. Give it such as it is … Are we not aware that everything that is remitted into His divine hands is converted to good?”
– St. Francis De Sales
And then it ends there. I don’t know why I leave sentences unfinished. Oh boy, haha! I don’t even remember where I was going with this. And I honestly cannot remember what else I had in mind during that time. Wish I could remember. But nevertheless, the Lord continues to speak. He continues to make His way into my heart whenever I seem to forget His presence.
Praise the Lord for being present through and through during TNC preparations and TNC itself!
The Lord is good! AMDG!
