SURFACE OR AUTHENTIC CONVERSION?

 

Come Oh Holy Spirit, of my Lord and My Savior Jesus Christ.

I thank and praise God for His message to me today  through  Kerygma Family Daily Bible Reading and Reflection.

I have been having lots of unruly thoughts again of winning and losing.

Having less and giving more.

Conversely, having more and giving less.

Reflection Questions:

Aside from fasting and abstinence, what is the Lord asking you to let go of, so you can be more compassionate and loving?

What does true conversion mean to you? How have you experienced this in your faith journey?

What is the “more” that God is asking you during this Lenten season? 

Here are more of my random thoughts:

Troubling events and words spoken against one.

Causing pain and destruction.

Broken spirit and a hurting heart.

Discouraged.

Despondent.

Almost hopeless.

I surrender them all at the foot of the cross of my Lord Jesus. who offers me comfort, solace, shield and refuge.

He heals me of my broken heart and spirit.

He replaces my shame with radiant light.

He replaces my fear with faith.

He replaces my lack with courage and boldness.

By His Most Precious blood and body, I am freed from my bondages to sadness, grief and guilt.

From all shame and condemnation.

Stress free.

Anxiety free.

I put my trust on my Lord Jesus and surrender all my troubles to Him.

I claim the Peace that only Jesus can give me.

I claim VICTORY over all of these negativity and toxicity.

I put my HOPE AND TRUST in His Divine Mercy.

He is my good Shepherd.

There is nothing I lack or want.

I have everything I need.

I surrender all the pain, the memories of hurt, the sting of criticism...I give it all up to YOU.

All the prickly thorns of betrayal, disappointments, discouragements.

Jesus binds and soothes all my wounds.

Jesus is healing my broken heart.

He erases all my scars.

He brings me out of all the dark pits I  fell into.

He is lifting me out of it all.

He is dusting off all the dirt, grime, mud  on me.

He illuminates all the dark areas of my mind, heart, body and soul.

All my moments of distress and troubles, I turn them all to Jesus.

He is my rock and my refuge.

Thanks be to God, the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

Mary, the Mother of God, please cover me and my family with your blue mantle of love and protection.

Ave Maria.

Totus Tus.
