TRUE ACCEPTANCE

1 Thessalonians 4:18 - "Thus, we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore, console one another with these Words."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When have we last visited and looked at our conscience?  When was the last time we looked at our hearts?  Do we feel contented, that is, knowing that the Word of God lives within us?

Or, is it the other way around?

We all know that in this tempestuous world, it is very easy to forget everything that we have learned and accepted about the Lord.  We can easily give in to temptations and sins, for it is really easier to sin than to follow each and every God's words and commands.

Thus, we should always persevere to be with Him.  Spend some time daily to pray and ask for His mercy and forgiveness.  Read the bible and learn about His words and on how to practice them in our lives.

Attend the mass and join in the Eucharistic celebration.  Yearn to know Him more and how to keep Him in our hearts all the time.  If we understand how much He loves us and takes care of us, only then can we realize that we should never, ever let Him go from our lives.

Accept Him today as your Lord and Savior and only through this true acceptance can we finally receive the true rewards of eternal life.

+ Let us pray:  Almighty Father, whose only begotten Son has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, be in our hearts forever.  In the midst of trials, sufferings, difficulties and temptations, teach us to persevere more in knowing You and the love and mercy You give.  Amen +
