Loving God Has A Cost

Loving God Has A Cost

If we have a desire to love God as He wants to be loved and thereby merit His fruitful love in return, we must pay the price that this demands.  If we are to love God the way He wants us too we begin by sacrificing our time.  It takes time to pray.  It takes time to do some spiritual reading.  It takes time to visit the sick or shut-ins at home or in the hospital.  It takes time to help some elderly person with shopping or tidying up their home.  It takes time to simply give the gift of yourself to someone in need of companionship.  

God knows how important ‘time’ is to us; and it pleases Him when we are willing to give our ‘time’ to sacrifice our convenience.  Our sacrifice is rewarded with an experience of His presence, a sense of His intimacy, and a joy in our heart that we are doing something good.  And best of all, when we give freely of our ‘time’ God gives us an abundance of it.

It’s OK to begin small … start with a short visit to the Adoration Chapel to pray.  Every few days try to repeat this practice and soon you will be amazed at how much ‘time’ you have to get things done.
