Words of Jesus
"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
John 16:12-15
Can you expect to go to heaven for nothing? Did not our Savior track the whole way to it with His tears and blood? And yet you start at every little pain.
— St Elizabeth Ann Seton
Abba, Father, Lord God, O how thankful I am to feel Your presence, while Your immediate conviction through the Spirit causes me to feel shameful and to ask, I feel that it is not for me to have answers or even want to know, but just keep doing. Overcoming shame, failure, regret and every part of me that gets in Your way the work You are doing through Jesus in the Spirit within me. How amazing I find it that I wake with these thoughts and then Your Word guides me into meditation which leads to letting go; letting go of asking, letting go of myself, for there is no benefit or time for dwelling in shame or regret for there is much to do and I must repent and move on feeling the Spirit as Jesus tells me in today's Gospel and meditating to the point of realization and execution that times of ignorance that You have overlooked has past for me. I must now practice doing not just seeking, feeling the Spirit to guide me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
