a lost sheep

Jesus teaches about Asking, Seeking, Knocking.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. for everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

"which one of you, if your son ask for bread, will give him a stone? or if he asks for fish, will give him a snake? if you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! so in everything, do to others what would have them do to you, for this sums up the Laws and the Prophets".

--- Matthew 7:7 - 12. (NIV)

thank the Father for all creation, the gift of life.
thank the Father for making us complete with abled hands, limbs and intellect.
let these gifts not go to waste, while we fight adversity in daily life.

every living moment is one we live in God's time. none of us know when we will be called home.
thus live your days with meaningfully, glorify our Lord's name!
put your talents to good use for betterment of humanity.
then you can account to the returning Lord on Judgement's Day.

may the Lord open up your heart to greater riches of life.
open up your hands and receive, sing praises of the Lord Jesus.
a lost sheep of the flock you are. pray fervently and read the Bible.
pray as you would, but be pro-active in seeking. take the initiative to reach out to the Lord.
do not think of those trips in church seeking as a waste of time, for you won't gain if you don't try.

as for Catholicism, it comes both in the form of scriptures and traditions.
join us in the RCIA journey this October, i encourage you to.
it'll give you a deeper understanding of what Catholicsm is about.
it's only when you learn more then you can evaluate better.

i pray that the Holy Spirit fills your spirits and guide you to make wise decisions,
giving you both the physical and spiritual strength to overcome the trials of life.
the sign of peace i give to you. Amen!
