It is the reward that we are moving toward. Being able to see God in the fullness of his glory. To love – which includes worshipping, learning about, and serving God without the corruption or temptation of sin separating us from His love.
I long to experience God’s love, but am completely overwhelmed by Our Father’s love. I was praying the sorrowful mystery this morning and on the first mystery the agony in the garden and as I was meditating on the events. I was driving and talking out loud, and I have said these words countless times, but this morning the Holy Spirit really opened my heart and I truly related to Jesus and felt crushed and joyous of His love.
We can never hope to be worthy of God’s grace, the mercy of Jesus, or the sanctification of the Holy Spirit; but we have been blessed to have the way for redemption. Because of Mary’s yes, Jesus was born of her virgin womb, then Mary and Joseph raised the fully divine and fully human child Jesus. He faced the same temptations and troubles we face, so he could truly say to follow him and we could take that literally
In Jesus’s prayer to our heavenly Father that if there be any way the cup may pass, but not his will, but the Father’s will be done. I felt that so viscerally this morning it brought me to tears.
How much love do we get from Jesus, Our Father, and the Holy Spirit!
God gives us the chance to “see” His goodness in all things. We can see Him in our suffering, by uniting with the suffering of Our Lord Jesus. We can see Him in his fulfilled promises all through out history. We can see Him through his goodness and healing of our hearts and souls. We can see God every day in preparation for eternity.
