REFLECTING ON OUR LIVES!
Are you a CHRISTIAN?
Have you BEEN BAPTIZED?=
IF the answer=
To these two questions
Are YES=you know
You are CALLED=
To be something MORE=
In this life=you are called to BE
A DISCIPLE of Jesus Christ
And it is TIME=to do some
REFLECTING ON YOUR LIFE!
“This is My BELOVED SON=
With whom=
I am WELL PLEASED”
Matthew 3:17
Jesus was 30 years old
WHEN he was baptized
By his cousin John=and then
He began=HIS PUBLIC MINISTRY
To all the people
We DON’T KNOW
What WORDS=John the Baptist used=
But we do know=what his HOLY FATHER said=
I was baptized too=
And I take my VOWS
Very seriously
Our God=Our Jesus
Wants us=to LIVE our faith
And wants us=to take some time
REFLECTING ON OUR FAITH!
Is our Father God
WELL PLEASED with you=and with me?
With our EFFORT=in this world?
Can he say=”WELL PLEASED”
Can he say=”WELL DONE?”
“God was PLEASED
Through the foolishness
Of what was preached=to save=
Those who believe”
1 Corinthians 1:21
“For God=WAS PLEASED
To have all his fullness=
Dwell on him” Colossians
1:19
OUR BAPTISMS are more
Than just a CERTIFICATE
We hang on the wall
And it means we BELONG
To God the Holy Father=and
His Son=Jesus Christ
It is NOT
Just a one-time celebration
It is=A TOTAL DEDICATION
Of our lives=to our God
And we=should be REFLECTING
On our lives often
I have DEDICATED MY LIFE
To the Lord=and I also have
DEATH BED PROMISES and vows
To our Holy Father God
Someday=I hope we all HEAR
These most BEAUTIFUL WORDS
From the Lord
“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=Your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21
I HOPE you and I
Both HEAR this from God=
And his Son Jesus=that he
IS WELL PLEASED with us
REFLECTING ON OUR LIVES!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever loving=ever
LIVING=Holy Father God!
