Thoughts to Ponder ~ The more we stand in His light, the more we become aware of out own darkness. ~ Pride keeps us from the embrace we most desire, A humble, supple heart receives the mercy it seeks. ~ If we allow our sins to be taken to the cross, His blood will wash us clean of every stain. ~ If I center my thoughts on the world and all its blasphemy, I chose to miss the graces of days lost. ~ If we seek forgiveness from the shepherd who is good, He will be merciful and open the narrow gate. ~ Do not doubt the Lord, He is your salvation, the only source of redemption from your iniquities. ~ Do not seek fulfillment in this life. Instead, seek grace and be merciful, always poor in spirit.
