(John 3:31-36)

Talking about the great love of the Father for the Son, the Gospel of today attested to the fact that all things are in the hands of Christ given to Him by the Father. This is because He is above all. He comes from heaven and has the ability of attracting things of heaven to us on earth.

If God entrusts all things into the hands of Christ, we too must learn to commend everything concerning us into God's hands. 

We should not allow things of the earth, things that we should keep below to pull us down and away from God. Put your cares, worries, tears, fears, sorrows, joys, temptations, trials, difficulties, pains, betrayals etc into God's hands.  Leave your family, husband, wife, friends, tasks, responsibilities into the hands of God.  Believe that they are safe there. If you believe, nothing will distract you from following Christ the way to heaven and you will have eternal life.

May God give you the grace, faith, trust and confidence to leave everything in His hands, to do the best you can by His grace and leave the rest to Him.

LET US PRAY

You are from above Oh Lord, we are still below in so many ways. It is our holy wish to be taken up to where you are, but a lot of things keep pulling us away. Help us by your grace to leave all our cares into your hands believing that you will support us and grant us everlasting life in Christ Your Son who lives and reigns forever and ever Amen.

God bless your Thursday (Easter, Week 2)
