LOOKING FOR THE LORD!

 

LOOKING FOR THE LORD!

Today we celebrate

The EPIPHANY of the Lord

The word-Epiphany-

Means “appearance” or “manifestation”

What could be BETTER

Than to go LOOKING

For something=and finding it=UNLESS

It is=the FINDING

OF THE LORD?

LOOKING FOR THE LORD=and finding him

Living right INSIDE-

All of our own hearts

“They were overjoyed

At SEEING the star........” Matthew 2:10

The reading today

FOLLOWS the journey

Of the Magi

To encounter

The CHRIST CHILD=

They were to

LOOK for the presence

Of the STAR

As the sign of

WHERE to go

And how to find him

The star

LEADING us to love=the star

Leading us to the Lord

IF it were only that easy

In this world

To have a star

Leading us TO THE LORD

Oh but it is=

We have the bible=

We have the CHURCHES=

We have our prayers

And our hearts

We just have

To pay attention=and OPEN

All of them up

LOOKING FOR THE LORD!=

Looking for the star

In today's world

“Those who LOOK to him

Are radiant=their faces are never

Covered with shame” Psalm 34:5

“Let your eyes

LOOK straight ahead=

Fix your gaze directly before you” Proverbs 4:25

“At the same time=

If anyone says to you

'LOOK here is the Messiah!'=or

'LOOK-there he is!'=

Do not believe it” Mark 13:21

We are STILL LOOKING

For the Lord today=

We are still looking

Like the MAGI=

To find the presence

Of the Lord

We experience a DEEPER KNOWING

That there is

A greater presence=

A more meaningful connection

In life

We know that there is

SOMETHING MORE

And that something more=

Is to be on a JOURNEY

To find God=

Just like the Magi were

“Again it will be like

A man=going on a JOURNEY

Who called his servants

And entrusted wealth to them” Matthew 25:14

So FOLLOW the light=

Follow the star

That leads you to

The FULL LOVE OF GOD

Follow=the STAR OF LOVE=just

LOOKING FOR THE LORD!

In Jesus' name=and in the name of our FOREVER GUIDING FATHER!
