Day 33 Of Lent: Suffering For a Just Cause(Jeremiah. 20:10-13/John 10:31-42)

The story of Jeremiah and Jesus in the first reading and gospel reading of this morning respectively, shows that when one is on the right track trying to do God's will that the person can pass through some moments of adversity. The Christian life is one that has a lot of crucibles that we must pass through before we reach our goal.

We have been waiting for this day as we practiced our lenten observances and today Joy has taken over the atmosphere because He who was killed and buried has risen as He said He will do. we see that by the power of the resurrection the apostles became witnesses to the events about the life of Christ. They proclaimed His name to all those who were listening to them. This is simply our responsibility as we rejoice and give praise to God for letting His only begotten ...

Seeking The Lord With All My Heart (JEREMIAH 29:11-14)

The lord's declaration to me this day is that He has a plan for me, a plan to prosper me and not to harm me, a plan to give me hope and a future. This is the reason I have to seek the Lord with all my heart. God is Spirit and it is only those who seek Him with all their heart that will find Him. He listens and answers when we call upon Him and pray to Him, because we seek Him with all our heart. I seek the Lord, because He is the true source of my happiness and joy. I seek the Lord, because He thinks and works for my good at all times. I seek the Lord, because my future is guaranteed and secured with Him. I seek the Lord, because my help comes from Him and He gives me victory over my troubles and enemies. I seek the Lord, because He is Truth and does not lie and He keeps His words always. I seek the Lord, because He is good and He heals all my infirmity both spiritual and physical. The reasons why I seek the Lord is many and uncountable and if you are sincere to yours...
