Well we are into Lent! How are you doing so far? I am not doing as well as I expected.

You see, I sometimes have high expectations of myself and God for that matter. I feel that if I am doing my part things should go smoothly. Like the feeling you get when you are deep in prayer.

I really like that deep, abiding, peaceful feeling and would really like all my days to feel like that. Holy!!

I should rejoice, when my days don’t go as planned, but I am human and still don’t understand the concept that temptations/trials are good for me. They teach me patient endurance, trust, obedience and love.

Love. Today’s reading is something I struggle with, remembering that I am deeply loved by God!!! Do you struggle with this too?

It’s not that I take it for granted, I just don’t even think about it. It’s not even on my radar!!! Buts its true none the less, for me and for you.

God loves you! God loves me! God loves each and every one of us because He created us. He created us exactly the way He wanted with our strengths and weaknesses in the proportion that He thought best to accomplish our unique role in the history of salvation and the continuation of bringing others to Christ.

He loves me even though I don’t think about Him loving me. This is the reflection of today’s reading.

Why don’t we think about how much God loves us?

Perhaps if I thought about this Divine Truth and lived in this knowledge, I would spend more days in deep, abiding peace.
