On this day following the indescribable gift, let us meditate upon God's amazing grace, the Son's sacrificial obedience, and the high cost of this great salvation. This great love should motivate us to consecrate ourselves with great joy and without hesitation to the Father. Let us follow the path of the Son who was obedient to death, even death on the cross. Reflect upon the two quotes and the verse from God's Word.
"Knowing God without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. Knowing our own wretchedness without knowing God makes for despair. Knowing Jesus Christ strikes the balance because He shows us both God and our own wretchedness (Blaise Pascal)."
"What God asks is a will which will no longer be divided between him and any creature, a will pliant in his hands,which neither desires anything nor refuses anything, which wants without reservation everything which he wants, and which never, under any pretext, wants anything which he does not want (Fenelon)."
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for our sake He became poor that we through His poverty might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9)."
