This is my Son, the Beloved, with Whom I am Well Pleased – Lectio Divina

January 12, 2014 By Jean Wise

This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 3: 17

www.healthyspirituality.org 

Lord help me remember my baptism.

Every morning when I arise, may I feel the mark of the cross on my heart, claiming me as your child

Remind me that every breath contains your Holy Spirit, filling me with life.

Prompt me to hear you as you guide my steps that I may follow only your path

Soften my heart so I recognize the things that break your heart.

Provide your life-giving water to my dried soul.

Fill me with courage to risk all for you and to give all to you.

Only through you, Lord, will I find the rest for my deep longing.

Remembering my baptism each day,

knowing who I belong to,

and experiencing your loving guidance,

I know someday I too will hear you call me “your Beloved, with whom I am will pleased.”

    How God must smile to see your passion, Jean! I love the line about every breath containing the Holy Spirit, filling us with life. Every moment, a fresh infilling! God bless you, Jean, as you continue to minister.

    Listen closely and you will hear it now – YOU are his beloved and HE is well pleased with you now. Just keep walking with Jesus and yes, one day you will see him face to face and again hear those words.
