Dancing with God Day 6.

Closing the Family Feud.

It started long ago, even before I was born. People kept feeding it over and over and over until I came along and tapped into my Grandma’s faith.

On her death bed, in front of my Mother, she said that I was her dream daughter. Not the nicest thing to say in front of my Mother but I realize why she said that. Grandma loved my faith. She would always appreciate my stories of how God was piecing it all together. She loves my passion for the rosary, too.

Speaking of piecing it altogether. There was a Our Lady of Guadalupe puzzle in my Grandma’s room when she died. A literal one and a spiritual one. Grandma also died on the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, 12-12. My first novena was for the Right to Life. Our Lady of Guadalupe and all of the Spanish saints came to play. Saint Philip Neri to name one. 🙂

This Family Feud goes back to the very beginning of time. The one who breaks it all is the one who sees, the holy see. The one who truly believes with a pure heart, they break it all into a new puzzle.

The puzzle becomes the Living Word of God. I Act and God delivers. That is who and how it works, God’s Mercy, Grace, Favor and Faithfulness. Those who carry Religion without heart do not receive this. They receive illusions and trickery. Those that carry oil from the Heart of Jesus receive not only the call but the Gift of Him.

This is what it means to walk in the Way, the Truth and the Life. Christ.

So, let’s continue.

“John 3:22-36

John the Baptist Exalts Christ
22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized. 23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. 24 For John had not yet been thrown into prison.

25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!”

27 John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. 33 He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true. 34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.””

in Jesus’ name. Amen.
