Did you ever encounter yung mga ganitong eksena...
When you come before God in prayer and ask Him,
'My Lord, I am your servant. What do you want me to do? What do you want to
tell me?'
And God responds through the scripture, through inspiration and even
through reflections of present events in life. He speaks His will clearly to be
sure it would be fully known to you.
And then, you choose a beautiful imaginary red hanky and blindfold your
eyes, then cover your ears with your hands.
Again, respond to God and exclaim...
‘But my Lord, I can't seem to see. I
can't seem to hear your voice. I don't understand what it is you want to tell
me? What you want me to do.'
And then because of His infinite patience, offered peace.... and revealed
His words again through the scriptures. This time, full of promises to make you
feel secure and loved so that you may be able to be strong child, full of
trust. Still....
'My Lord and my God. You seemed so silent. I want to seek you. Where will I
find you? I want to hear your voice. Please lead me.'
And God, in all His being a very understanding Father show himself to you.
In His image, His sacred heart through broken tiles in a common eating area. "I am here. I can be everywhere. I am with you always."
And
now, here you come to tell God.
'Lord, I literally see and find your image, which is extraordinary for me.
Should I take this seriously? Or am I just trying to convince myself that it is
you who showed this to me?'
And then I can imagine God covering His face and laughing at my own stubbornness.
Sometimes, God give clear answers to our prayers. But when we get answers
that make us uncomfortable, we would rather feel confused, blind and deaf than
to choose to peacefully accept and surrender to His Holy Will.
Jesus promised, "In me you will find peace. Do not be afraid, I will
be with you...forever.'
Well, Love is an unending journey to obedience...
Oh my Jesus, help us every day to fully trust and pray,
'Not my Will Lord. But Yours. Thy Will be done.'
