Gospel Reflections #582: Teach us Your Love, Oh God

Psalm 118:68:  "You are good, the One who makes all things good. Teach us your statutes."

God is unwavering from beginning to end and has the same feelings towards us.

We think and feel differently as our circumstances and circumstances change.

But when we get lost or fail, we fall down and struggle, and it is in this that we encounter God.

When we know through experience that God does not give up on us, no matter how much we disobey, ignore or run away from Him, that God has an abiding love for us, and that God forgives us to the utmost, we will want to draw closer to and follow such a God.

We want to draw near to and follow such a God. Or, more precisely, the moment we are touched by God's love and our hearts are moved, God works in us and creates the desire in our hearts to follow Him.

For us, too, painful experiences are the keys that open the doors to God one by one.
