TODAY’S WORD…

“Look, I am coming soon,

bringing my reward with me

to repay all people according to their deeds.

I am the Alpha and the Omega,

the First and the Last,

the Beginning and the End.

Blessed are those who wash their robes.

They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city

and eat the fruit from the tree of life.”

QUOTE…

.

“May His Majesty be pleased to grant us to experience this

before He takes us from this life,

for it will be a great thing at the hour of death

to realise that we shall be judged

by One whom we have loved above all things.

.

Once our debts have been paid

we shall be able to walk in safety.

We shall not be going into a foreign land,

but into our own country ,

for it belongs to Him whom we have loved so truly

and who Himself loves us”

.

– St. Teresa of Avila

PRAYER…

Come, Lord Jesus, come!

My heart, my soul, my all, yearn for You, O Lord.

.

You are the First and Last,

the Beginning and the End,

and You are my God.

.

Wash me clean, dear Jesus,

make me pure,

and help me overcome my weaknesses,

with humility,

and out of love for You.

.

Remove from me all that is not from You,

and strengthen my faith

so that I made be made worthy of Your promises.

.

Instill in me,

this great want to serve You

and to gladly do Your will

…and not the world’s,

which seems to want to drag me down

and away from You.

.

Lord Jesus,

I so want to know Your glory.

Come, fill me with Your Spirit!

.

Amen.

.
