Isaiah 55:6-9
Seek the LORD while he may be found,
call him while he is near.
Let the scoundrel forsake his way,
and the wicked his thoughts;
let him turn to the LORD for mercy;
to our God, who is generous in forgiving.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD.
As high as the heavens are above the earth,
so high are my ways above your ways
and my thoughts above your thoughts.
Such a beautiful scripture....so rich and so deep with meaning.
Let hi turn to the Lord for mercy; to our God, who is generous in forgiving.
for my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways above your ways and my
thoughts above your thoughts.
I will never understand how God can possibly know each and everyone of us so intimately or how He can continuously have so much mercy on me and you. But just knowing that He does is so comforting to me.
Responsorial Psalm 145:2-3, 8-9, 17-18
R/ The Lord is near to all who call upon him.
The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The LORD is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works.
Philippians 1:20C-24, 27A
Sometimes I feel like Paul, I just want to be in Heaven. I want to be in God's presence. But I know that God has me here for a reason. So I must conduct myself worthy of Christ. I want to be transparent in all I do. Honest and a person of integrity. So that when it is my time to join God in heaven, He will be saying "Good and Faithful Servant, Welcome Home!"
Gospel Matt 20:1-16A
This Gospel reminds me not to compare myself to other people. What God decides to give each of us for our faithful deeds is up to Him. The bottom line is that I just want to be with God in Heaven...
if there are layers of Heaven, I don't care which layer I am in. If there is a legion of angels and I am in the back of the legion - I will be fine with that. As long as I can sing my praises! God is generous beyond measure. His ways are above my ways. I trust Him.
Have a blessed week!
