His Word Today: Patience

Good morning everyone,

Our God is so good!  There is so much that our Father wants to share with us, but he is also ultimately aware of our own limitations.  Knowing that they could not understand the fullness of his desire to live in them (and in us), Jesus told his disciples: I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now (Jn 16:12).

Human beings need time in order to process all that we learn, and sometimes the amount of time we require can truly be drawn out ... in order for us to truly understand and appreciate the wisdom of the lessons.  How wonderful it is to think that no matter how much we have learned about God, about his desire to enhance the relationship that we have with Him, there is always more to encounter, more to learn, more to appreciate, yet that is precisely the secret to true love: there is always a further depth to discover.

Let our prayer today be to ask for the grace to always set out into the deeper water, to be curious about what else our loving God has to share with us.

Have a great day.
