Today's truth is speaking to me... As Simon was unexpectedly blessed by following Jeus' directives, so too will I be if I obey God's will. It seems unnatural at times to give up ourselves and submit to Jesus' ways, but He will help us if only we ask.
God is asking me to... come and follow. But first I must focus on coming, as that is the initial step. I cannot jump ahead to a far-off part of the following stage without first developing a relationship with God. For example, while I feel as though religious life is how God wants me to follow him, I am not called to enter an order within the next few weeks. I believe that right now, God wants me to follow Him by coming to Him in prayer, Scripture, and sacraments.
My challenge is to... Find security in Him. To repeatedly ask God to take away my dependence on what others think and what I perceive others to think of me. While decreasing my feelings of insecurity, I also challenge myself to look for true support through faith communities, such as our wonderful small group.
