The importance of opening up ones heart and soul to another is a tremendous gift to both people.  To share the truth, to know deep down ones emotions and expressing those emotions in a healthy manner is a gift.  The giver and the receiver are blessed by the experience.  Although feelings change and grow, we can always count on Jesus to be our constant. 

Jesus is not - flippy floppy, Jesus is rock solid.  Jesus is perfect and we are a small part of his perfect plans.  When we know Jesus, we are rooted in his love.  And when rooted in his love, we are in line with what is healthy for us and our soul.  Jesus is perhaps the absolute best medicine this world could ever have.  But when we are physically unhealthy, we go to a doctor.  When we  are spiritually unhealthy and sin, we go and show our face to the priest for confession. 

When we are healthy we go on living our lives in accordance with Gods will.  His blessings uphold us both now and then, and for the rest of our journey.  Why do we need a relationship with Jesus?  We need to make sure we are accountable for the way we live.  So we check in with Jesus, through prayer, through meditation, through the mass, and in receiving Holy Communion in the state of grace, (without stain of mortal sin).

We try to make an annual retreat weekend every year in honor of our Lord and our Blessed and Holy Mother Mary.  It is important to strive for spiritual perfection.  

The Lords blessings and miracles are happening to us on a daily basis.  When we choose to be faithful, God in turn makes our lives fruitful in nature.  One cannot take the credit for the miracles happening on a daily basis when we know each miracle is God's greatest gift to us.  The fact that I can write this podcast is God working through me, I could never write without God being an important part of my daily life.   For this very podcast would not exist!

I am full of gratitude toward God and his special mission set before me during my lifetime.  His plans are definitely much better than our own.  O sweet Surrender, thank you for showing me your face.  Thank you for allowing me to participate in Gods most perfect plans.  There is no better life for me than to show Gods love through service and gratitude, it is there my heart is warmed by the fire which is Christ!
