Here is one more for the road and we must take it and accept it.
It is God’s pleasure to be loving,
it is his nature,
it’s who he is,
it’s his character, no one can take it away from him.
That’s the way he is,
he’s angry today,
we’ve come to weep,
we come to humiliate ourselves,
we come to beg and the next day
everything is clean,
everything is beautiful,
everything is forgotten.
Wow, what a God!
Having him in our lives is a joker,
a prize list,
a solution,
an insurance policy.
So, my brother, my sister, we who think that we are already condemned and that the Lord cannot forgive us,
we who think that we can do as we like and then come and offer chapels to the Lord wanting to corrupt him, we who think that we can do evil and come with our offerings to God’s altar, we think that a sacrifice buys God’s forgiveness,
we want to tell ourselves that this is not what the Lord expects of us.
He’s calling us to a little tenderness,
a little love,
a little gentleness for the person at our side, who is far from perfect.
He advises us to show a little compassion in our relationships,
He recommends a different way of looking at the world,
He tells us to be less sharp and more compassionate.
Jesus gives us a mission,
He proposes that we go and learn to have our hearts in our hands,
to understand others, even in their weaknesses.
Today, as Christians, let us ask ourselves what it is about our behaviour that pleases the Lord?
Let us know today that it is not great spiritual feats that please the Lord, but the simple fact of forgiving others.
That is why the Lord has given us this passage to end our month.
Matthew, 9:13 – Go and learn what it means: I delight in mercy, not in sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
Praise the Lord who delights in being merciful.
If we are righteous and perfect, we are not useful in the hands of the Lord,
He seeks out those who need him in their imperfections and shortcomings.
He is ready to receive them no matter what their faults.
So it is important for us to go and learn the depths of mercy.
May the glory return to the Lord.
Good day to you all
Good day to you all
