(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
Imagine if you found a source of unlimited natural resources
by creating a machine that transforms only a small amount of oxygen into an
unlimited amount of energy. All you had
to do is turn on the machine you created and the energy is generated
endlessly. That would be quite an
invention. But something like this does
exist on a spiritual level. The “oxygen”
it runs on is our misery and sin. And
the “generator” is the Heart of Jesus.
The “energy” it produces is God’s endless Mercy. If we could only understand this then our
world would be flooded with this supernatural resource to an infinite
degree. We must realize that God
transforms our misery in life when we offer it to Him. In fact, this is His burning desire. His Heart longs to transform your misery into
His Mercy so that your own life will be filled to abundance and so that,
through you, the world will be filled to abundance. Give to God your misery and sin and let Him
endlessly transform it (See Diary #1273).
What do you think about your own misery and sin? Do you hide it, cover it up, ignore it and
pretend it doesn’t exist? Do you go
through life presenting the illusion of a sin-free and misery-free life? Some do this and others go to the opposite
extreme, wallowing in self-pity and manifesting their misery for all to see as
if their misery were a badge of honor.
Neither approach is helpful. The
only helpful approach is to surrender your sin and all misery to the Heart of
Jesus. You can do this. You simply need to make the choice to do
so. Do it today. Begin to make this act of total surrender and
you will discover the miraculous power in the Heart of Jesus to transform
everything into Mercy.
Oh Heart of Jesus, I run to
You with my misery and pain and I surrender my sin to You, dear Lord. Please transform it into Your Mercy, enabling
this gift to become a source of endless grace.
Jesus, I trust in You.
