God will truly be with us if we are truly who we are!
God loves us and wants us to be real! If we are present in the here and now, God will strengthen us in every situation We encounter!
Our Gospel Portion today is St. Luke 14: 25-33 and we will meditate on,
“Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27
Honestly, it always matters!
Our lives are full of struggles, and Jesus desires to walk with us through them. This is the great gift of being a disciple of Jesus. But if we can not be honest about our reality, we block Jesus from supporting us in carrying our cross.
We endure unnecessary suffering. Jesus wants to bring us healing! We are not alone! Jesus is the friend who will never forsake us!
May we embrace the cross, accept ourselves as who we are, and trust that Jesus will help us carry it and bring us peace. He promised to be with us, and He keeps His promises!
