Dear Lord Jesus….
Through your human heart we can catch a glimpse of the divine love with which we are loved and with which you yourself love us, because you and your Father are one.
It is so hard for me to believe fully in the love that flows from your heart. I am so insecure, so fearful, so doubtful and so distrustful. While I say with my words that I believe in your full and unconditional love, I continue to look for affection, support, acceptance and praise among my fellow human beings, always expecting from them what only you can give…
O Lord, why is it that I am so eager to receive human praise and human support even when experience tells me how limited and conditional is the love that comes from a human heart.
Help me Lord to look to You!
Help me Lord to look to You!
In Jesus' Name
Amen
Reflection Question: Where are you looking for affirmation from people and how might you listen more deeply to God's divine love for you?
