Gospel Reflections #405: We are Never Alone

Psalm 69:9 “For the zeal for your house has devoured me, and the vileness of those who vilify you has come upon me."

People who are faithful and true to God may appear to the world to be overworked or struggling more than necessary. That is because we are walking a path similar to that of Jesus.

But it is not a path we have no choice but to walk, but a path of joy as we experience being with God.

God's unconditional love and His passion to save everyone move us.

We are led by the Holy Spirit to choose to leave our safe haven and climb a steep mountain with Jesus.

Our suffering is transformed into peace and hope through Jesus' healing and compassion, and our criticisms are transformed into prayers that strengthen our relationship with God.

God never treats us like soldiers. He is our friend, knows our weaknesses and limitations, and will always help us and give us rest.

God can turn our trials and persecutions for our good because of His presence.

Therefore, we are not to fight on our own, but to take our weaknesses to God, ask Him to hide us, and open up the space for Him to work.

We are witnesses to what God has done for us, and we are not here to face trials and persecution on our own.

We are to return thanks and praise to God by recognizing and witnessing to Him who is at work in us.

And God is working without rest so that we can realize it.
