LENT DAY 20

 These things, injustice, tyranny, violence, discord, are of the world.

When we look upon the world with our earthly eyes we may feel overwhelmed by the things we see and dismayed that bad things are flourishing.

We therefore need to grow in awareness of God's Holy Presence in us and around us so that we might feel safe and see the truth with our spiritual eyes. The truth is His promise and He never lets us down.

Bad things happen in the world but Jesus says I am not of the world (John 17:16) and neither are His followers. We have to live our lives on spiritual principles, we are guided by love when we focus on God and ask for His blessing.

We see truly then what is of the world and what is of heaven. We see new possibilities because we are blessed by Hope and Peace which keeps us safe and we are guided by God's Holy Light to see things more clearly.

Guided by Light, all things are possible.

All hope is revealed and Life is given to us in abundance, because we live in Christ and He lives in us. Praise God indeed.

 Let us pray then with all sincerity
 to see the world through our spiritual eyes 
 so that we do not get downcast and overwhelmed. 
 Rather, let us pray 
 that we see the Light and Mercy of God
 shining brightly in the world
 for all to see. Amen
