The Lord is kind and full of Compassion
Thus says the Lord:
In a time of favour I have answered you,in a day of salvation I have helped you; I have kept you and given you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages; saying to the prisoners, 'Come forth,' to those who are in darkness, 'Appear.'
This were the words proclaimed by Prophet Isaiah from the Lord to the people; we worry so much over life challenges, we live in doubts and fear without meditatively trusting in God and believing that He will done all he has promised to do for us.
Amidst all these trials, and troubling moments, he told to:
Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
But Sion said, "The Lord has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me." But replied man:
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Look beyond and Man must never forget that:
The Lord is kind and full of compassion. The Lord is kind and full of compassion, slow to anger, abounding in mercy. How good is the Lord to.all, compassionate to all his creatures.
The wickedness in the heart of Men has caused so much hardships and difficulties in our world today; we must know that we are unique and genuinely created, divinely carved out and are always in the Master's plan.
Never Stop Working and Believing!
Jesus answered the Jews, "My Father is working still, and I am working." This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath but also called God Hus Father, making himself equal with God. He said to them:
Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.
For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show him, that you may marvel.
We must realise that the scriptures made it cleaner that:
The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honour the Son, that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.
We must believe in his Words, for through this shall we gain eternal life; even to this the dead will attest to the ressurection through rising from the dead to life. "I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me."
Throwing yourself deeper into His Word
One of the distinctive attributes of God for all believers is that he gives life. And only he can do that. Therefore, if you can give life, you must be divine. That was what Jesus wanted his critics to know. They accused him of blasphemy because he claimed to be the Son of God.
If yiy are the Son of God, then you are a divine person.
Jesus had given back life to several persons who were dead. His critics had seen him do that. That was proof beyond doubt of his divinity. Still they did not believe. Jesus could not help their unbelief. The disciples of Jesus down through the ages have had no doubt about his divinity and his power to give life. They look to him to continue to give that life to all who call on him, and give it in abundance. That, according to him, was why he came into the world. (John 10:10).
Think About This!!!
Prayerfully and meditatively think over the words of the Roman Pontiff, he said:
"When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ,who is the fullness of humanity. and when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ. Only in Christ will you fulfill your potential...as a citizen of the world community."
(Pope John Paul II)
