TODAY’S WORD…

.

Never say or do anything except in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

.

– Colossians 3:17 (JB)

.

REFLECTION…

.

All genuinely human things can and should be sanctified.

Yes, everything that we say and do can be made holy

by being done caringly and perfectly

and for love of God.

.

We must not separate our ordinary life

from our union with Christ.

He is with us always,

And we too should be with Him always.

And because we live for Him,

then we should do so appropriately.

.

Through the very performance of our tasks, which are God’s will for us,

we can actually promote the growth of our union with Him.

This is the path along which we must advance,

fervently…joyfully.

QUOTE…

.

“Heaven and earth seem to merge, my children, on the horizon.

But where they really meet is in your hearts,

when you sanctify your everyday lives”

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Come, Lord Jesus, and take over my heart and my mind.

Guide me, O Lord, in all that I say and do. Amen.
