In spite of being a miserable sinner, God still chose to speak to me today.
Yesterday, as I was creating a new blog titled "Christ in Men", I was moved to place in its prayer the words taken from Matthew 8:8, "Lord I am not worthy to receive you...".
Today, He confirmed such words that He indeed spoke to my heart.
In the reflection of St. Peter Eynard, he says, "Of us God demands purity of heart, that purity which is the life of the soul. He wants besides, since we possess no virtues worthy of Him, a deep respect and true humility. Let us say to Him: ' Lord I am not worthy to receive Thee. Depart from me, for I am a miserable sinner!' This conviction makes up for our shortcomings. Our Lord is content with it and, when he comes to us, He will give us all that we lack. Let us simply be faithful, humble, and confident. He will do the rest."
God, out of His great, goodness and mercy will never stop to bless all my rightful endeavors. My sins can never match such love that the Lord has for me. It is not about me, what I say or do but it is all about Him and His purpose of creating me.
I can never be worthy of my God but I can always cling to the Lord Jesus Christ who has always been the Savior of my life to intercede on my behalf. He alone can make me pure and perfect to face my God.
Lord, I am not worthy to receive You, but just say the word, and I shall be healed!
