BE CALM , AS I AM WITH YOU.
God is always with us. Where can we go without his love reaching us? He is the Almighty, the one who has been, is and will be, the one who has all the power and who owns everything, the creator of everything, the beginning and end of everything. He sees everything, hears everything and everything he can because everything is submitted to his will, there is no force in the most powerful universe ... and that wonderful being is our Father.
Then, why be afraid? What could harm us? Who could face us? If we are with Him, who is against us?
However, we are free in the face of his will. We have been given the opportunity in life to choose our path and make our own decisions. The Lord shows us a path whose parameters are expressed in the Gospel and Jesus Christ is the one who illuminates it, but we decided to go through it and choose the way. We can also decide to separate ourselves from their path, but that is another issue.
The call to be calm is for all those who are on the path of life. While it is true that we do not choose many things from our reality as the place where we were born and the parents who touched us or the social stratum to which we belonged, there comes a time in life when we are able to change many of our circumstances. We are faced with the fact that a large part of our reality is the product of the decisions we make every day. That sooner or later we must take the reins of our existence and we can no longer blame anyone for our mediocrities. The moment comes when we begin to autonomously choose our path. In necessary that this happens to get to reach the mental, ideological, spiritual and financial maturity. Sooner or later we have to take responsibility for ourselves whether we are ready or not.
But reaching maturity is a process that occurs in each one differently. For some, growing is an imperative need, it becomes a desire for independence when you still have no experience or sense of responsibility. This usually leads the person to make hasty and often fatal decisions. It is necessary to be calm and cultivate patience. Everything must occur at the time.
The current world has an unbounded offer of possibilities of all kinds. The world has long ceased to be a huge place and was reduced to the screen of a computer. The media shows us in all its facets in such a way that we now have access to many more things and more easily than we have ever had before. What to choose? Where to proceed? The range of possibilities is vast and with millions of nuances. There is a serious risk of choosing wrong and then spending the tempo trying to solve problems. It is also possible to get lost on the road, not to guess the direction and after walking a lot, not finding what you were looking for.
The only solution is to start walking towards a clear destination. It is not possible to reach a place if you do not have a clear idea of where you are. Walking without a definite direction or without a clear goal is the only thing that will cause us to waste a lot of time in vain efforts, which lead to nothing and the worst thing is that as time passes, our chances of reaching our goals or even identify them, they become more and more scarce.
Having the clear goal is the basis to start looking for ways to achieve it, clearly define the steps to follow, the way to do it, the times to achieve it, the intermediate goals that will ensure progress, in short, the elements of the strategy or plan. In a few words, the LIFE PROJECT. If there is something that our parents and teachers should help us do in the long years of school, it is the elaboration of the life project and the earlier you begin to perform this task better. The future and personal fulfillment, that is, happiness is not a game or something that should be left to chance. If necessary, write that project so that the objective is not forgotten.
You have to be careful, weigh every decision however small, face each difficulty with patience and intelligence and, above all, trust deeply in the love of God. To be clear in our minds and in our hearts that God wants the best for us, that he always accompanies us, that he blesses our decisions and takes care of us, as far as we allow. He is the best company we could ask for and the source of the strength we need.
