Luke 19:41-44
As Jesus drew near Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If this day you only knew what makes for peace - but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for the repose of the soul of Eileen Westby.
Often times, when I have said the words in frustration, "Why, Lord, have You done this to me," it was my own decisions that brought me there.
As I read through today's reading, I had a very real sense of Jesus weeping over my own mistakes. If only I knew what it took for peace. If only I knew what true joy was. If only I knew that God's ways were for my good. If only ...
Thankfully, there is the great gift of reconciliation to where we can bring our bad decisions to The Lord.
Lord, I love Your commands more than the finest gold. Help me to set aside any desires I may have so that I may love Your commands more and more everyday.
Take care and God Bless.
