(A Daily Reflection on Divine Mercy)
Do you doubt the Love of God? The truth is that God is relentless in His
pursuit of you. Though much of our
holiness depends upon us, most of it depends upon God. While here on Earth, God never ceases to
pursue you and to seek your conversion.
He sends His Mercy to you constantly in every way imaginable. The problem is that if your heart is “deaf
and blind” it will not perceive the tireless ways that God pursues you. But even in your deafness and blindness, God
speaks and pursues and seeks and attempts everything possible so as to win you
for Himself. In the end, if a soul
remains obstinate and closed, God can do little more. He only needs a very small opening in order
to begin His good work in you but if there is not even a small opening, then
even God’s active pursuit will not change your life. Open your heart to Him. Even if you are in the depths of despair,
allow Him to come to you with one drop of His perfect Mercy. Never close the door completely and if you
have, do not hold it shut. He will find
a way if you let Him (See Diary #1486).
Hopefully you daily seek to open your heart wide to the
Mercy of God. But if you find that you
have been bound by the chains of sin, realize that your greatest advocate is
our merciful Lord. He can do wonders for
those who are trapped and imprisoned by sin, or have become deaf and blind to
His grace. Reflect upon how open you are
to His Mercy today and resolve to let Him come to you so as to begin pouring
His Mercy into your weary soul.
Lord, when I feel trapped
or confused in life I know that You will pursue me with Your unlimited passion
and Mercy. Your relentless love gives me
hope when I am tempted to despair. Help me
to open myself to You and to allow You to do Your perfect work of Mercy on my
life. I thank You, dear Lord, with
profound gratitude. Jesus, I trust in
You.
