Small Start

The WORD today (See http://usccb.org/bible/readings/031414.cfm) reminds me that it is better and easier to address the problem while it is still small.

In the gospel we see Jesus raising the standards on sin. This should remind us that even at the slightest hint of sin, or seed of sin, we should be ready and willing to address it. As they say prevention is better than cure. The seemingly small things - hatred, bitterness, anger, envy, lust, should be addressed already before it gets bigger and manifest into actions, into actual sins.

May we pray for a sensitive heart and be ready and willing to address these feelings and concerns before they manifest into actions, behavior and sins.

What feelings are weighing me down? What are the causes of it? What am I doing about it? Am i willing to confess and be right with God and ask him to help me be free from these?

Father God,

Thank you for today. Thank you for another day to live. Thank you for another weekend coming up. Lord, help me recognize and address sins even before they start and manifest. Amen.

Blessed day!

In Christ,
