It’s not all about feelings

17 03 2009

We continue today with the parable of the seeds. The next type of people that are described are those who rely only feelings not on faith. When we are on a retreat and experience the love of God, it is right for us to get enthusiastic about it. However our relationship with God does not stop there. It need to be taken care of and cultivated otherwise it can wither away.

Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture…Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away. Luke 8:6, 13

How are we to be rooted? Remememebr these important things
Regular communication with the Lord in Prayer - Look up Matt 6:6
Regular reading of the Word of God -Look up Ps 119:105
Regular reception of the Eucharist -Look up John 6:35
Regular fellowship with other who are taking their relationship with God seriously - 1 Thess 5:11
