God Is Waiting For All His Children

God Is Waiting For All His Children When do we bring little children or our grown children to The Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Have we limited their relationship with The Holy Trinity to a blessing at birth, baptism in the church, for healing at the height of an illness and for mercy at death? Have we instructed and raised them to show reverence on their knees and seek peace and prayer each morning, night and many times throughout the busy days? Do we take them or do they on their own attend God’s earthly house, the church, in remembrance, reconciliation and do they partake in Holy Communion with Jesus which connects us to God? Do they know to genuflect before the Holy Eucharist and the depth and miracle of Jesus’ Cross? Are they familiar with the place that God holds for them in Heaven? Have we taught our children that God is everywhere and that we must nurture the place in our spirit that connects us to Him? Do they realize that God is love and that the love we show to others is pleasing to Him? Do they realize that God created the earth and all living things that dwell on it and that our lives are gifts to be cherished? Do they know that they should reject all evil for evil is not a part of God’s plan for our lives? Do they realize that our bodies are temples and they should be cared for by healthy food, exercise, righteous behavior, prayerful thoughts, rest, and purity of mind and spirit? Do they know what it means to remain wholesome, unblemished, and without disfigurement? Are they aware that we must continually work to heal and make ourselves strong in the physical, psychological, and spiritual realms? We are all a work in progress and each day we have precious opportunities to improve our past selves. Let us walk toward God, The Son and the Holy Spirit with trust, innocence, and gaiety and with delight to be disciples of Jesus. As we focus on the awe and wonder of God, let us prepare our eyes to witness and trust a faith-filled life, our hearts to discover divinity in its core, and our soul to pursue its most rewarding holy quest. What we do matters. If we make The Holy Trinity an intricate part of our lives and believe with all our heart, mind, body and soul that anything is possible with God, so will our children. It is human nature to become distracted and in times of despair allow our Savior Jesus Christ to drift from our minds. However, deep daily practicing faith will bring hope and a living and saving Christ back to the center of our hearts. Let’s use our God given gifts, time and breathe on His children. “For it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.”
