Turning back to God

The morning readings were very fruitful and full of God's love and passion for us - his creatures. The first that touched me is from Tobit 13:

"When you turn back to him with all your heart, to do what is right before him, then he will turn back to you, and no longer hide his face from you."

I think too many today do not see or feel God's presence in their lives. Their lives are too full of the material world and what others think.

Another reading was from Psalm 33:

"They are happy, whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as his own from the heavens the Lord looks forth, he sees all the children of men."

When God's presence is real in our lives we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. You know when you meet someone who has these gifts. There is much patience and understanding in them and it all comes from God. God is love and he is real. He's calling each one of us to come back to him.

God bless all!!
