Tuesday September 29th: God delights in us!

St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael

“How do you know me?”

John 1:47-51

I saw you! … How often do we find ourselves hiding from the Lord? Yes, we hide in our disobedience, sin, addiction, vices. We let the darkness cover us and yet God our Father sees us and he grieves for us to return home to Him.

Today we are reminded of God’s deep and everlasting love for us. He took nine months to form and fashion each one of us. Each one unique and cannot compare with the other, what a delight God takes in creating us.

And when we come into being, He gifts us with our own bodyguard; our Guardian Angel to guide and guard us in all our ways.

As we reflect on our lives, let us see God’s greatness and appreciate our lives as gifts. Gifts given are to be cherished and opened with excitement and anticipation.

Father God, open our eyes that we may see, what great love you have lavished on us. Amen.
