WELCOMING HIM=IN OUR FAITH

 

WELCOMING GOD=IN OUR FAITH

 

It is great=if

You are a good person=

It is GREAT=if you are

DOING good things

 

It MAKES a difference

But I do not=THINK that that alone

Is enough

To enter the KINGDOM OF GOD

 

DEEDS are not enough

We must have FAITH

In our God=

And faith in Jesus too

WELCOMING GOD=IN OUR FAITH

 

“WE have done=

What we were obliged to do”                                                                                                    Luke 17:10

 

Trust NOT in your own goodness

Trust in

THE GOODNESS of God

 

The SCRIPTURES today

Tell us not to=trust

In our own merits=or

How many compliments we receive

 

Jesus tells us today

That we should say=to ourselves

“We are unprofitable servants”

Just doing=what we should be doing

WELCOMING GOD=IN OUR FAITH

 

“Know therefore=that the Lord

Your God is God

 

He is the FAITHFUL GOD=

Keeping his covenant of love

To a thousand generations

 

Of those who love him-

And keep his commandments”                                                                                            Deuteronomy 7:9

 

“Love the Lord-

ALL HIS FAITHFUL PEOPLE

 

The Lord preserves those

Who are true to him=

But the proud=he pays back

In full”                                                                                                                                         Psalm 31:23

 

What God OFFERS US

Is greater than anything

We could EVER FIND=by ourselves

Or on our own

 

God offers us

A SHARE of his

DIVINE NATURE of love

 

He offers us=A CHANCE

To be a part=of HIS INFINITE LOVE

WELCOMING GOD=IN OUR FAITH!

 

“His master replied’=

‘Well done=good and FAITHFUL SERVANT=

You have been FAITHFUL

With a few things

 

I will put you in charge

Of many things=come and share

In your master’s happiness’”                                                                                                         Matthew 25:21

 

We should trust NOT

In ourselves=or

Our own limited goodness

 

We must trust IN GOD

And prove faithful to him

WELCOMING GOD=IN OUR FAITH!

 

We must FOCUS on

The pure gift of God=and

WELCOME HIM=IN OUR FAITH!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER LOVING and FAITHFUL Holy Father God!
