For those unfamiliar with Latin, the name of this blog translates to "Father and Daughter." Since arriving to New London, CT early this January, my prayer seems to be centered around this theme. We most often hear that God is always at the door of our hearts, patiently waiting for us to let him in. But sometimes, that message gets lost up in my mind and takes awhile to travel down to my heart. Or perhaps, its just one of those days, "A dark night of the Soul" as St. John of the Cross would say. And so it becomes difficult to see through the fog that He really is there. My prayer in Adoration has been beautiful in these two weeks. God is always seeking for lost hearts and unceasingly pursues hearts waiting to be loved. Yet lately, I have never felt this more than knowing that he has been pursuing my heart like one who is my Father.
In the midst of all this your heart is saying: "I want to trust you completely, but I can't. I am so wounded what's the point?"
Your Father gently returns a reply and softly says: "You are my daughter. I want to be here for the little details in your life. I'm not just
here for the bigger things. Trust me with the everyday small things in
your life, and tomorrow it will grow into bigger things. Your efforts to love and listen, you're moments of impatience with others and with yourself, and even the moments you've forgotten Me, so I can remind you that I love you and am Always here.Your heart is
the same. Give me your heart little by little. Your wounds and pains,
one by one. Don't expect that you will give away you're whole heart now, and
that's all. Will you trust me first with the key to your heart? My daughter, I want to take care of you in the ways that your heart has always
desired to be loved. You deserve it because you are my daughter."Well Dad, I'm here......
Until next time, Ciao and may our Father's Love be upon you
Blessings :D
