REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!

 

 

 

 

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

 

 

We live

In a cold cruel world

A world that often

Does not notice us

A world

That treats us with indifference

 

And when this world

Does notice us

Often

It is only to criticize us

Or reject us

 

Take heart

You are a Child of God

And so as a father or mother

Loves their own child

Our God, and our Father

Loves you the same way

 

“How great is the love

The Father has lavished on us

That we should be called

Children of God

And that is what we are”                                                            1 John 3:1

 

Take heart---and always remember

Who you are

You are a Child of God

 

“The reason the world

Does not know us

Is that it did not know him”                                                        1 John 3:1

 

The world teaches us

To build our lives on money and material things

This world teaches us

To build our lives on our lust and sexuality

This world teaches us

To build our lives

On the promises of science

 

If we do these things

We don’t have to worry

About the devil

We don’t have to worry

About the antichrist

Because if we do these things

He is already here

 

Our Lord knows that we are sinners

But he taught us

That we have the potential for greatness

 

He taught us

To believe in God

And to believe in him

Because he knew

That earth is not our final destination

That we are destined

To spend eternity with him

 

Remember who you are

You are/we are

Children of God

 

Just look at who he befriended

An adulterous woman

Who was about to be stoned

The prodigal son

Who turned his back on his father

Peter---who denied him 3 times

 

Remember who you are

You are a Child of God

 

We assume

The adulterous woman quit sinning

We know

The prodigal son

Returned home to his father

And we KNOW---Peter turned out to be the ROCK

 

“Upon you

I will build my church”

 

So if there was hope for them

There is HOPE for us

 

“We know that anyone

Born of God

Does not continue to sin

The one who was born of God

Keeps him safe

And the evil one cannot harm him

We know that we are children of God”                                                1 John 5:18

 

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

IN the Catholic Church-TODAY is the feast of ALL SAINTS DAY-Many of the most popular are (and many of MY FAVORITES too), are Saint Francis, Saint Anthony, and Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus, and of course, many others

 

BUT TODAY-we HONOR all the saints-and those saints that will forever REMAIN nameless-but have made a DIFFERENCE in the lives of others

 

HAPPY ALL SAINTS DAY to those of you who have made a DIFFERENCE in my life-you KNOW who you are-and what you have done to HELP ME in my life

 

I SALUTE YOU-and remember who you are

 

You are:  A CHILD OF GOD
