I have a daily struggle with commitment to God. I don't actively ignore Him, but human nature has left us with a tendency to forget about Him. Busy, busy, busy we are with our lives. Our own thoughts. Our own daily agendas. We forget to speak to The One who even gives us the day to live in.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Come Holy Spirit, come.

"The person who is trustworthy in very small matters
is also trustworthy in great ones;
and the person who is dishonest in very small matters
is also dishonest in great ones."

Luke 16: 10 - 11

I have a daily struggle with commitment to God. I don't actively ignore Him, but human nature has left us with a tendency to forget about Him. Busy, busy, busy we are with our lives. Our own thoughts. Our own daily agendas. We forget to speak to The One who even gives us the day to live in.

I am not trustworthy with the Lord in small matters. Or rather, I need to become trustworthy to God more than I have been. Entrusting myself to Him on the daily. A daily, "Yes, God. Here I am for You today. Whatever You have in store for me, help me to receive it with open arms. Thank you for the gift of my life. Help me to grow today. Help me to love today. To love You and to love others. The purpose of my life."
Something of that nature. I want to be better at that - looking at God and forgetting myself.

Life has no meaning apart from God. We can pretend it does. People "creating their own meaning," forging their own way towards a goal that ends when they hit the grave. What about Eternal Life. What if we lived in the Light of Eternity? If every day we live united with Jesus - the Light of Eternity.

I want to go to Heaven! To be with the Lord, who I as of right now I need to grow closer to today.

I want to be a Saint! I want to walk on the incredible journey God has for me. Though many days it be quiet work and simple encounters with others. I pray to live daily with intention. I pray to not live with my final breaths being the only moment I ask for God's mercy and give Him a glance. Many in this life do that.

Today, I want to make a promise of daily intention with Jesus. What does that mean, though? I want to pray and not wander in this life. Life is meant to be lived, and He who died for us said, "I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly."

Promises are dangerous. Promises are statements that you intend to keep forever. To be honest, I know I will mess up trying to upkeep my promise of having daily intention with Jesus. And that is scary to me because a promise is supposed to be a promise right? A forever statement?

Well, I believe that there are human promises, and there is the Divine Promise. I promise with all of my strength as a human being to love Jesus, and I will fail. But, the Divine Promise is eternal forgiveness when I accidentally break mine.

Should I make a promise that I technically cannot keep consistently because I'm human? I dare to say "yes" because true promises are made out of love and commitment. And even in the movies where a lover breaks a promise, the most beautiful moment of the movie is their lover taking them back?

Despite my human nature, I make this promise of daily intentionality to God because I need to. The only way to show someone you love them is to make a commitment, and a commitment is to love every day. That's why God has always made promises to us! Thanks be to Him that He always keeps them.

Kind reader, thank you for being inside of my head today. May this adventure inside of my head bring Jesus closer into your heart.

With hugs,

Angelica
