(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
No one can see your heart except you and God. God is aware of every detail of your interior
life to a perfect degree; you see the details of your interior life to an
imperfect degree. Nonetheless, it is
important to become increasingly aware of the reality of your inner life. See your soul as a hidden and secret world in
which the Mercy of God resides. Allow
the inner chambers of your heart to become consumed with the love of God. This holy and pure love of God must direct
all things within you. And although
others will not see that which takes place within you, they will see the good
fruits that come forth from your life and these good fruits will become an
exterior witness to the Mercy of God alive within you. Though the inner life is hidden, it must
become manifest so that the secret workings of God will produce Mercy in a
visible and radiant way (See Diary #1363).
Are you aware of the powerful work of God within your
soul? Are you attentive to His merciful
hand, leading you and guiding you within this secret sanctuary of your interior
life? Fix your interior gaze upon the
pure love of God and allow this hidden place to bring forth an abundance of
good fruit. As the good fruit of your
life is produced, allow it to be made manifest for the world to see and to be
inspired and changed by the Mercy of God coming forth from you. Ponder today this direct connection between
your interior and exterior and allow your heart to shine forth.
Lord, I love You with a
burning love. Please continually purify
my heart so that Your grace may become active and alive within my soul. As You
work Your miracles of grace in my life, bring forth the good fruit of Mercy in
my exterior actions so that Your works will become a public testimony to the
pure love that is alive in my heart.
Jesus, I trust in You.
