I FORGOT

 

April 3^rd

 

“I Forgot”

 

 

The other night

I had a dream

The dream was about

My worst sin

 

In my dream

I was

Trying to talk to Jesus

 

I kept running

In to St. Peter

I kept

Running into

All the other Saints

 

Finally one day

St. Peter whispered into my ear

St. Peter said

Jesus said to tell you

“I forgot”

 

That’s our God

He knows all things

He forgave me

Without my even

Having to ask

 

That’s our God

The merciful God

That’s our God

The forgiving God

That’s our God

The loving God

 

That’s our God

Couldn’t we pass

That forgiveness on

To someone else

CARRYING OUR CROSSES

 

CARRYING OUR CROSSES

You have CROSSES in life=

I do too=And Jesus

Had his own

VERY HEAVY CROSSES

We all have to

CARRY them=to the BEST

Of our abilities=no matter

HOW HEAVY

That they are

“Whoever does not

Carry his OWN CROSS

And come after me

CANNOT be my disciple”                                                                                      Luke 14:27

Do you ever wonder

If you are on

JESUS' list

Of his disciples?

Are you carrying the CROSSES

To the best

Of your ability?

Maybe you are=and I am=

Some of Jesus'

DISCIPLES too

These crosses

Are darn heavy

We stay ACTIVE

On Jesus' approved disciples

List=by CARRYING our crosses

“Carrying his OWN CROSS-

He went out to

The place of the skull

(Which in Aramaic

Is called Golgotha)”                                                                                           John 19:17

“His purpose

Was to create

In himself

One new humanity

Out of the two=

Thus making peace

And in one body

To reconcile both of them to God

THROUGH THE CROSS

By which he

Put to death

Their hostility”                                                                                                          Ephesians 2:16

“And having disarmed

The powers-

And authorities 

He has made a public spectacle

Out of them

Triumphing over them

BY THE CROSS”                                                                                              Colossians 2:15

We all have

MANY CROSSES

Those people in the

Senior LIVING CENTER=

They have many crosses

They are JESUS' DISCIPLES too=

Those people carrying

CHRONIC ILLNESSES-

They have worries=anxieties=

And CROSSES

They are

APPROVED DISCIPLES TOO

We are TRYING

To CARRY our crosses

To the best of 

Our ability

Jesus carried a HEAVY

WOODEN CROSS=and internally

A much heavier one

He kept walking

ALL THE WAY to Calgary

And did not turn back

KEEP walking and carrying

Your cross=you are HIS DISCIPLE TOO

“What Jesus did here

In Cana of Galilee

Was the first

Of the signs

Through which

He revealed his glory

And his DISCIPLES

Believed in him”                                                                                                   John 2:11

KEEP carrying YOUR CROSS=if it

Is not heavy

It is NOT A CROSS

In Jesus' name

Ps        INSPIRED=by an article in LIVING FAITH MAGAZINE=by Fr. Dennis Gallagher, A.A.

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

 

 

 

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT

 

The Holy Spirit---the Spirit of God

Is also known as the counselor

 

It is the Word of God

Active and alive

In his believers

 

Isaiah 11 tells us,

“The spirit of the Lord

Will rest on him

The spirit of wisdom and understanding

The spirit of counsel and power

The spirit of knowledge

And of the fear of the Lord

And he will delight

In the fear of the Lord”                                             Isaiah 11:2

 

Christ himself

Was anointed with the spirit,

 

“Heaven opened up

And the Spirit descended upon him

In bodily form

And a voice said,

“You are my Son

Whom I love

With you I am well pleased”                                      Luke 3:22

 

Think about it

Who in the history of civilization

Spoke with more love

Than Jesus Christ

 

The Holy Spirit is simply

The Spirit of God

The Spirit of love

The Spirit of truth

 

Jesus tells us

He will never abandon us

He tells us

That even though

He is no longer with us

He will leave a Counselor with us

To help us make the right decisions

The decisions that God wants us to make

Because the Spirit

Lives in followers of God

 

The Holy Spirit

Teaches believers about God

And reveals God’s secret wisdom

To the believer

So that the believer’s faith

Will NOT REST

On the wisdom of faith

But on the POWER OF GOD

 

“No eye has seen

Nor ear has heard

No mind has conceived

What God has prepared

For those who love him”                                     1Corinthians 2:9

 

“The Spirit himself

Testifies with our spirit

That we are God’s children”                                        Romans 8:16

 

Let the SPIRIT OF GOD

Let the spirit of love

Let the spirit of life

 

LIVE IN YOU
