Wednesday in the Fourth Week of Easter
John 12: 44-50

Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day, because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me."

Dawg's thought:

Today's prayer intention is for those in your family who are away from the Church, that they may come to believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ.

I used to have this thought that God would immediately take away all the things that hinder me from being faithful and charitable. Instead, I find that I am still wandering around in the dark, but at least I can see the light. I still stumble in the dark.

Yet, it is those times of stumbling that I realize how much I want to be with The Light. I realize just how much I was made to live in The Light.

As I stumble in my journey, it is good to remember His words: "I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world." How often do I fear the wrath of God when I have turned from Him? How often do I think that it would be better for me to stay away because I fear that He may not forgive me.

He does, and because of that, I know that I am free to give all my sin over to Him.

There may not be a magic moment in this life when I will lose the ability to sin, but I do know this: there are many moments in my life when I can be freed from my sin. I praise God for the gift of reconcilliation, through which I am made free. Take care and God Bless.
