Lent 9 - Honouring

 

Eagle Feathers - Canada

 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4: 13

Would I say that if  someone I view as important was with me now?  Would I act differently?  Would I act a part?  The challenge is to say no.  I am consistent, and my love remains the same.  When I am away from my wife I behave like a married man.  I speak with words that honour my wife. Everyone can see that I love my wife.  How much more important is it to be consistent before our Lord.  We know the Lord sees everything, but true love does not even consider this.  I am remined of the friar I met at Hillfield Friary.  He related to me how someone had commended the Friars saying "I like the way you never seem to talk about God." The Friary looked at him earnestly and said "of course not. We don't talk about you in your presence either, and God is with us now." 

PRAYER:  May I know your presence with me all the time.
