Don't brag about what you do or how much you get paid. It can be taken from you in an instant.
Pastor Trevor said today that God isn't--and, I'm paraphrasing again--disappointed when we have desires. He knows that we are week. Rather, when we fail, He entices us back to Him. Trying to be self reliant and not rely on God is folly. That cycle of trying to beat sin by shear will, failing, and blaming ourselves rather than asking God to deliver us must die at the foot of the cross. We have to look at the one who saves us as the Israelites looked at the bronze snake on the pole.
Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel said that he knew Jesus. And that. you have to know Jesus. Many people believe in Jesus. But, belief in Him leads to knowing Him. This is a hard teaching. I've always been a those who believe not having seen kind of Christian. Never having had a road to Damascus experience or a supernatural event in my faith journey, what does this mean? I know that I love Jesus; I can feel it when it thing on Him, when I'm in the presence of God, and when I contemplate the greatest act of love. Maybe I need to follow St. Teresa of Avila's example and spend more time in the prayer of silence. Maybe I need to spend more time in contemplative prayer. Maybe I need to seek to be in the presence of Jesus more.
