Thursday Fourth Week of Lent

John 5: 31-47

Today we focus on relationship.  The relationship that is the Divine working in and through us requires us to be honest with God.  We don't use empty words, empty words are words without meaning.  We mean what we say and say what we mean. 

Talk to God with love and honesty and He will be moved to fill you up with perseverance and fortitude.  The problem may not go away, but there will be clarity and a sure way out.  We can get trapped in our minds about God because we may see God as far, distant, unattached to our life, and perhaps a God of wrath and jealousy that spurs violence and damns humanity for not following a set of rules.  That is a tough place to start. 

God entered human history to share with us and to experience the human journey.  Christ, with the Father from the beginning of time, has made the relationship with the Divine something that is attainable and ready to access!

Jesus showed the apostles the marks of His crucifixion, the marks of His human experience, and He held no grudge, He sought no revenge, He ordered no troops to attack.  Jesus said; "Peace be with you"

The price has been paid the relationship is established. 

Today, we focus on meeting people where there are in their journey and foster a life giving relationship with the Divine in all.
