"Today spend less time trying to right the wrongs that you see and look for the good things present in your life. Lord, help me to avoid unnecessarily criticizing those things with which I disagree and increase my awareness of Your love in the world.
"If you have been treated unjustly by others or simply by life, avoid compounding the difficulty and forgive the persons involved. Lord, help me abandon the habit of reliving my hurts and humiliations and allowing them to control my emotional well-being.

"We have but one life in which to know God. Lord, You never hide from me. It is I who gets distracted. Thank you for life's little thorns that remind me where you are.
"In your darkest moments, look up! Lord, You are my light. You give me the courage and the wisdom that I need to make my dreams my reality.

"Give your mind to Christ that He may guide you with His wisdom. Lord, as I am ready, teach me Your ways so that I may teach others.
"When your faith is strong, your troubles become smaller. Lord, my day is filled with blessings because I believe in You. Praise be Your holy name.

"Take time to talk to God. Talk to Him as Jesus did and trust Him.

"You are a child of God. You are a radiant human being. Live today with the confidence that God's love for you is beyond any love that we know and allow nothing to bind or limit you. Lord, thank you for loving me so much.
"Today be kind and loving and expect nothing in return. When you lift your consciousness above the darkness, you will understand that the life of Christ is the only enduring life. Lord, teach me to see You in my neighbor.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father. —Colossians 1:1
I love a good letter. The epistles are especially appealing because of their holy salutations. Note how often believers bless one another, pray for one another, and wish one another God’s grace and every goodness. God’s grace and blessing are infinitely abundant. How often do we call on them throughout our day on behalf of one another? Today, let’s make a greater effort to call on the blessing of God Almighty for all people we encounter

Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” —Luke 5:11
At my brother’s ordination reception, the organizers had filled mason jars with water, put a fish in each one, and attached a note saying Be fishers of men. The gifts were meant for the children to take home, to stir their imaginations and spirits toward the possibility of vocations, but what a good reminder for all. We are not after health, wealth, or success, though these things can be great helps to us. We are all fishers of people. In our private, unique ways, let’s go fishing today.

He Is Before All Things, And In Him All Things Hold Together. —Colossians 1:17
God Knows—Before The Plane Goes Down, The Disease Hits, The Economy Tumbles, Or Your Child Grows Ill. God’s Gaze Rests On You Before The Betrayal Or The Sin, Before Love Dies Or Grows Stale, Before Your Loneliness Or Selfishness, Before Whatever Season Of Suffering Or Strife May Befall You. See God’s Hands, Strong And Eternal And Able, Holding You Up, Holding Together You And Yours—And The Very World Around You.

God has now reconciled you in the fleshly Body of Christ through his death, to present you holy, without blemish, and irreproachable before him, provided that you persevere in the faith, firmly grounded, stable, and not shifting from the hope of the Gospel. —Colossians 1:22–23
Fixum est cor meum. My heart is steadfast, O Lord, my heart is set.
Jesus, my heart can be fickle and shifting. Help me to grow more steady. Keep me firmly grounded in you, my heart set upon you. YW Tina !! =)

Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? —Luke 14:28
Jesus desires for us to love through to completion, because that is the way he loves: completely, fully, to the end, to eternity.

Only in God be at rest, my soul, for from him comes my hope. —Psalm 62:5
Human optimism and divine hope are quite different; the first looks to the earth and humanity and says, “We will work hard to make things better.” The second looks to heaven and God and says, “In Christ, all things are possible.” Where is the source of the power to change? Is it rooted in human optimism or divine hope? The great mystery and delight of the Christian life is that we cocreate. Jesus invites us to cooperate with his grace, and this fills the heart with hope.

Jesus departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. When day came, he called his disciples to himself and from them he chose Twelve. —Luke 6:12
Prayer precedes every great work of Jesus. And it precedes the great works of the Church as well. As I watched my brother prepare for the priesthood, six years and then some, I became aware that it was not just my brother who was deciding to become a priest, but a body of men, the Church, those charged with his preparation, who agreed that he was called. They prayed and prepared, and when the day came, they called.

His greatness is unsearchable. —Psalm 145:3
Lord, we look for you everywhere: in the miracles and mysteries of life, death, and suffering; in the eyes of the poor and those impoverished in spirit; in the kindness of strangers and the courage of the heroic; in daybreak and in sunset; in the beauties of heaven and earth; in the darkness of human sin and human frailty and human hearts. We seek you. We search for you and find you, but never fully and never enough. And so we seek you still. YW Tina !! =)
