OUR HEARTS REJOICE

Psalms 33:20-21

Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and our shield.  For in him our hearts rejoice; in his holy name we trust.

It has been a year since we first arrived in Tijuana to work on a project.

And, I am glad I am still alive – physically and spiritually.

Although, sometimes I feel that the loneliness of being away from your family is eating me alive, and yet I survived.

And going back home for Christmas, thinking of it would give be reason to rejoice and be glad.

For the season of Christmas is a season of joy, of love, of giving and of hope.  It shows how God loves us so much that He was willing to give His begotten Son so we would all share with Him is eternal life.

There are still a lot of questions in my heart.  But I know God already has the answers to all of them.  And all I have to do is believe and trust in Him.

It’s hard to trust sometimes – especially, if you are just putting that trust to a person or something… but knowing that it is to God whom you are putting your trust, is enough reason to persevere.  I know, it’s enough.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, blessed are we, because we have known You!  Blessed are we, because we have believed in You!  Blessed are we, because we bear Your wounds and the sign of Your Blood on our contenances!  Blessed are we, because You are our great hope!  Blessed are we, because You are our God forever!

Amen +

Exult, you just, in the Lord! Sing to him a new song.
