TODAY’S WORD…

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?”

– John 14:1-2

REFLECTION…

How loving and understanding Jesus is! How comforting and encouraging are His words! He wants us to believe and trust in Him, to listen to and follow His teachings and to walk along His path. If we do so, we will have the serenity and the inner joy, which only come through Him.

What’s more, if we do so, then we are well on our way to the promised Father’s house, where Jesus Himself abides and where He loving awaits us to be there with Him…forever!

PRAYER…

My Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me so.

Thank You for Your reassurance,

for Your wish to see me live my life

full of the joy and hope that only You bring.

Thank You for Your teachings and Your commands,

which will get me safely through this life

into the glorious next.

Lord Jesus, send Your Holy Spirit upon me,

to counsel and guide me,

to console and comfort me,

and to fill me with love, peace, and joyful hope.

For this I pray, O Lord, with all my heart. Amen.
