Many times life is full of unseen war. I am not talking about political or ideological war among nations which is beyond my capacity to digest. But let my humble mind reflect on the war within human heart. Our beloved Lord once said that where our treasure lies, there also our heart. Pondering on this truthful words, I start to realize that the fierce war that we as humankind have to face is the war of attention. Shall we focus on Christ and his life giving commandments then our life will emanate joy and love. His grace and presence in our heart sanctifies us and makes us whole. Yet, if our attention is enslaved by earthly cares and we serve what doesn't really matter then we will be trapped with anxiety and all kind of sickness of the soul.
It is with such love and humility that our Lord Jesus Christ came to us, opening wide His arms to embrace us and to bring us back into His kingdom. And this moves me realize how life works: in Him, through Him and for Him. Since we are His! Outside of Him we can do nothing.
O dearest Lord who love mankind, teach my heart and my whole being to be watchful and ever expecting You! For You know that out of my brokenness it is very easy for Your servant to be effected and distracted with all things which are passing and vain; by the lust and pride, by desires and anger, by jealousy and despair. Forgive us O dearest Lord and bring us back under Your guide. Deliver us from temptation and grant us merciful and humble heart. Amen.
