I went to California for a wedding, rather, the wedding of two of my dearest of friends. While there, I had a conversation with the bride's aunt about God's love for us. What she said was so simple, so true, and so obvious that it should not have been profound if I had realized it myself. But I didn't. She said, "God wants us to love Him for who He is." That's it. So simple, yet so profound. It's no wonder we have such a difficult time understanding God when we don't take the time to get to know Him.
So how can we get to know Him to love Him? Well, as a devout Catholic, there are two concrete ways. One is reading the Word, the other is receiving the Eucharist. Both need to be supplemented with prayer. This is what I have been thinking and praying about over the last couple of days and I will continue to meditate on it for some time.
Don't let me forget to tell you about sinning against the Holy Spirit in my next blog. I pray God's blessing on all of you and that hopefully, God is using me to reach you. My heart burns for yours.
