Give thanks to God for all things; thank and be grateful to the Lord. God is merciful, just, and good; His grace has no end. What we think is bad always works for good, for all paths will lead to the Lord. For all truth will be revealed, and God, in His infinite justice, will trace the path for all.
Lord, I have no way to thank You. I have no way to equal the good You have done in my life. No matter how much I work for Your name, for Your mission, I will not come close to the impact You have brought into me. What You have done in my life has inestimable value. Your love for me changed everything.
There is nothing wrong with you. Life is not a quest, nor a race, nor something to be conquered; life is much more than these things. Life is feeling, it is emotion, it is love. We seek in others the love that is within ourselves. We live reflecting on what would be right or wrong, but we forget to surrender, to truly live freely, to do what is authentic and natural within us.
We do not need to reflect so much, to plan, to think; living is not for that, life is not for that. Life is meant to be lived, and you will live when you allow yourself to live, without chains, without expectations, without fears, without the need to overthink—simply living the next step in the most natural way possible.
Naturalness is normal, emotion is normal. There is nothing wrong with allowing yourself to release expectations and simply be in the present. You will find contentment in being happy in this present moment, without thoughts that judge it, without the rush to change it, without judging it as good or bad—just observing it as it is: a moment. Living this way, everything becomes lighter, and with gratitude, life becomes eternally joyful. Love is infinite, and so are you. Follow love, follow what brings love into your heart, follow what inspires you, live love, feel love, perceive love, never cease to nourish yourself with love. In love there is the most sublime contentment. Live, allow yourself, free yourself, feel, love.
The great harvest is approaching; the weeds will be gathered and thrown into the fire. The time is for repentance, the time is for inner reflection, the time is to cast oneself upon the only Lord and Savior that this world knows.
I place everything in Your hands, Lord. I entrust to You the destiny of my life. I surrender to Your will. Make of my life whatever You desire. I am under Your control. I surrender and place in You my trust in the providence of all that I do not control. Wash my heart of fear, wash my heart of dread; grant me peace and joy.
Lord, be with me every day; I need Your love. Stay with me, my God; I can no longer endure the harshness of this world. I want only You. Stay always by my side, Lord. I want Your embrace, I want Your affection, I want Your love. Nothing matters more than Your love, Jesus.
Humility is born from the recognition that there is nothing you can have, nothing you can be, that will change the fact that you, in essence, are just a soul—and that the other, in essence, is also just a soul.
If the world does not value you because you do not have money, a prestigious job, a socially accepted standard of beauty, or a position of influence, know also that those who have money, a prestigious job, a socially accepted standard of beauty, and a position of influence do not possess value either. Because, in truth and in truth itself, value is not in these things. Value has never been on the outside. I tell you that none of this truly matters, and none of it contains your true worth. Therefore, do not become vain nor diminish yourself because of the position the world assigns to you.
If you judge by the world’s judgment, you may despise, for example, a food delivery worker, but you do not know the level of peace he has; you do not know how brightly his soul shines; you do not know how much love he carries in his heart; you do not know how much gratitude is within him. And you, with money, beauty, and prestige, judging him—filled with bitterness, filled with hatred, filled with pride, filled with prejudice—while he performs a service that directly benefits you. Let us stop being ungrateful; let us stop living in illusion; let us stop forgetting that we have a soul. We must forget that we have money, forget that we have a standard of beauty, forget that we have social prestige when we speak with another human being. Because, in truth, the reality is that they are just two eternal souls interacting for a moment in time, and what will endure is the love that this interaction brought into the heart of each one involved.
Have humility, for Christ—who is the Christ—humbled Himself and never became vain; when they called Him good, He acknowledged that only the Father is good. Be humble in heart, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Do not allow the values of this world to enter your heart; the Lord said, “My Kingdom is not of this world.” Stop basing your life on what the world considers correct and important, because this world is still very far from living in the true Kingdom of God. You should not care about the opinions of others; you should not become vain because of the praise the world gives you regarding your exterior, your possessions, your status, your social position, or your body and your beauty, nor should you diminish yourself because of criticism or the absence of what this world judges to be important and necessary.
Do not think that your value lies in your body, in your beauty, in how much money you have, in how well-known you are, because all of that is external, all of it passes, all of it is illusion, all of it deceives you, diverting your eyes from what is truly important and true.
Do not forget that you possess a soul, do not forget that you possess a heart, do not forget that you possess a divine light within you, do not forget your essence.
If you continue to give more value to the exterior than to the interior, you will remain in the same cycles of births and rebirths, without a true purpose, entertained in a game of masks and illusions.
