Finding God in Our Lives - My Encounter at the Women's Retreat


God gives us the full capacity to see and experience His goodness in our lives every day.  Faith can be shaken but not taken. We need to have courage to live the life God has willed for us. 

In life we encounter the ups and downs of everyday life situations? 

When we encounter the loss, the fear, the uncertainty and the despair we need to ask ourselves 2 questions:

  1. What is the worst that can happen?
  2. What is the best that can happen? 
Don't act quickly, take time, find the courage. We need to look outside of our own suffering and find strength in others. Take action to shape the future and have trust in God. Focus on what we can control. Trust on our own goodness it comes from God. Love unconditionally and continue to be a role model. God's command is to Love!

We need to ask Jesus "what do you want of me" and then be brave. You have the gift of yourself! The gift to love one another as yourself. The gift of learning to love unconditionally is our peace. (Pope Francis wants us to become Missionary Disciples).

If you have done all that you can do, God will do the rest. Remember God is in charge.  

How has God prepared us? Every person we meet, every experience is our preparation for what is ahead. Look into the interior of our souls and find Jesus. Our souls will find rest in the peace and tranquility of Our Lord Jesus. How can we be like the Good Samaritan?
