Steadfastness


If or when something manifests itself in our lives, which by worldly standards are not
supposed to be possible, it is very important to keep going.
Because although Divine Life starts to grow in us, The Evil One has not gone away.
Watch out for the Fear, often the number One.
Stay in control, do not  allow it to take you over.
You are safe now, God Himself is minding you.
Stay open, relaxed and alert, be always ready. Every moment is NOW.
Every time you feel the fear, see yourself on your death bed facing death in the face.
This is not being morbid, or wanting to die, it is simply reminding us of reality,
which helps us to put things in perspective now.
This is why we pray at the end of the "Hail Mary":
"pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death."
It is to remind us, so that we do not forget.

Look what happened to Peter. When Jesus walked on the water, Peter walked towards Him, also on the water, until he became afraid.

"25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Praise The Lord with song:
