I may sit in my chair by the window and assume for hours. “Why did God make me? What’s my objective on this life? Do I do know, love and serve God as I ought? What are my major obligations in life? Do I fulfil these obligations? What else ought to I be doing with my life? If I died tonight, what would I consider my life? What would God consider my life? What’s going to my loss of life seem like? What’s going to my judgement seem like? What motivates me to ask these questions? How may I make my enterprise higher? Do I care about materials items an excessive amount of or not sufficient? What’s my retirement plan? Do I need to begin one other enterprise? How may I make the world a greater place? What does God need of me? Ought to I cease asking so many questions and simply be content material? However what does that phrase even imply? We will’t be completely content material on this life as a result of this isn’t our true house. We weren’t made for this world, and but we reside in it, so how can we be happy? However on the identical time it’s God’s Will that we reside on this world, so how may we be unhappy if we’re fulfilling God’s Will? In what does happiness consist?”
I may (and do) go on. Typically these ideas produce a superb end result and draw me nearer to God, however typically they depart me stressed and uneasy. There are such a lot of solutions that I don’t have.
The opposite day I had a brand new thought – maybe I merely depart all of this to God and focus all my energies on loving Him and making reparation to Him. Perhaps I take into consideration myself an excessive amount of and must spend extra time fascinated with God. If my coronary heart is troubled, His Coronary heart has suffered infinitely extra. If my poor wretched and depressing coronary heart longs for consolation and comfort, how far more should His Coronary heart want the identical factor. Maybe I ought to resolve to make comforting the Sacred Coronary heart my whole mission. If He needs me to do any new factor with my life, He should make it recognized to me.
I resolve to not take into consideration myself a lot, and to spend extra time comforting and consoling the Sacred Coronary heart of Jesus – that Coronary heart which has beloved a lot and is so little beloved in return. All for Thee, Most Sacred Coronary heart of Jesus.
