Cycles of Faith
2nd Sunday of Lent
Psychology has taught us a great deal about family dynamics and how
we have come to be the person we find ourselves to be. We are
comprised of such a mixed bag of blessings and obstacles with their
graced moments and sinful ones. Think back on the journey of your
life and how the many different and varied choices that you made
influenced the direction your life. If you didn’t go on that first
date with your spouse, who would be beside you today? If you chose
to be in one place rather than another, what would have happened to
the course your life has taken? We are on such a wonderful,
exciting journey. What is most incredible and awesome is that we
are not alone! God is with us. He inspires, heals, opens doors, and
calls us every moment of our lives. The very life we have is due
only to Him. We can all sit down and list adjectives describing who
we are. One may find him or herself more artistic than another or
quicker with wit. We have unique gifts and talents and have the
great gift of free will, which we treasure. Our histories come with
more baggage for some and less hurdles for others, but we all have
to find our way through the path we are on. However, have you ever
given much thought to who you really are? That question has more
merit than may at first appear. We know ourselves as we live out
our earthly journey. But do we know our heavenly self? What we know
here is only one small part of who God has made us to be. The
disciples really thought they knew Jesus until they went up the
mountain. We also may think we know our true selves, too. We know
that in eter- nal life we shall not only see God, but become like
Him. Who will you be? What surprise do you think God has for
you?
