BE HUMBLE AND OBEY
Thank God is Wednesday! How are you today? How was your night rest? Were you disturbed by noise from a nearby Church during their night program? Okay, thank God for seeing this new day... ππ»ππ»ππ»
Oftentimes, God would tempt us to see how much we listen to His commandments to love one another by asking us to something that will be for the good of those that we dislike and detest. π³π³π³
If we are asked to pray for our enemies, how possible would that be? If we are asked to help our neighbour who is always quarrelling with us, how possible would that be? Like the Prophet Jonah in Jonah 3, 1-10, we would rather not listen and even turn away from where and who God wants us to look at because they are our enemies.
Jonah was not interested at all in preaching to the Ninevites. Perhaps because the children of Nineveh were considered as arch-enemies of the Israelites, and so Jonah objected to have anything to do with them ππ
Obviously, Jonah never wanted to see them repented and converted, but because God had already destined it, it happened when he began to preached to them. Terrible!!!
My most cherished friend(s), all our spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting and almsgiving) would mean nothing if we do not humble ourselves in total obedience to the Word of God.
God can only grant the grace of repentance to those in need of His mercy through our humility and obedience ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ».
Well, like I said yesterday, I have given up on my juice therapy.. ππ. I have hope that lunch shall be better, but until then, learn to be humble and obey.
This is your very good friend and brother saying, Buenas Dias.
