If Only Their Hearts Could Be Turned To You


                 “Dear Lord, God of all creation in heaven and earth, Oh dear Lord, I love You, I praise You, I honor You. Lord I am so sorry for the many misguided people in today’s world who turn away from You, who disrespect You, who mock You, who ignore You, who feel absolutely nothing for You. If only they knew and truly understood Your great and awesome love for all of us. If only they could realize that Your great love for us is so intense and so immense, so unfathomable to us and yet, so natural for You, like breathing for us. If only they knew Your love was the answer to every flash of sadness they have ever felt, every moment of anxiety, every bit of fear, every spark of anger, every thick drop of despair that has ever touched their souls. Your love is the antidote, the healing balm to turn all of these things into the brilliant shine of joy, endless peace, complete safety, a glowing fire of love and a vast ocean of hope.
                “If only their hearts could be turned to You instead of just to themselves. Instead of living to please themselves, they could look deeper into their souls, open the doors to their hearts and invite You in. Then they could turn their purpose for living from themselves to living for You. Then they could know the joy of thanking You, giving You praise, loving and honoring You who are perfect and who knows us best of all; You, who wants nothing more than to love us and to be loved in return. If they just knew how to love YOU, then their lives would be so much more meaningful and they would find that great love that we all seek.
                “Oh dear Lord, may my love for You transcend all things and make amends for those who are lost. May my love for You shine brightly and illuminate a path to Your Sacred Heart for all to follow.”
