. . . because I have found my lost sheep."
How could I ever understand the immensity of God's love for me? ll. How much God desires for me to love back. Why am I sometimes afraid to do so? Why do I hesitate to let God love me and to love God back?
I think sometimes I let my own sinfulness and humanity discourage me and begin the cycle of believing that I am not loveable. I think that at times, when I do not love myself, I project that upon others and even upon God.
Yet, God does love me just as I am. Jesus came to show me that so that I would never doubt his love again. After his gruesome agony and death on the cross, there was no more proof I needed. Still, he wanted me to know that his love would never end. His love conquered even death when he rose to give me hope for all time. He loves me so much that he is always with me, supporting me, guiding me, accompanying me through the ups and downs of my journey.
He is always there to take me back when I stray. He is always there to help me to begin again.
Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is a day when we remember with deep gratitude the unconditional love God has for us. Let us give thanks.
Let us pay it forward. Let us live in God's love. This is my prayer. Amen.
