BFF

Today I feel loved!
For a long time I have wondered what this saying during mass really meant;
'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'

When I was younger I simply learnt it by heart. In recent years I have wordered if the saying was referring to only Jesus or to anyone who comes saying that they are sent by God.

In a version of the Bible it said that unless one confesses 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord' he /she will not enter heaven.

I asked few days ago during mass. Lord explain to me what this prayer means.
Today as I lay in bed listening to prayer songs I felt I should stop listening and read the Bible. So I acknowledged that thought and told God .. "So you wish yo tell me something? What is it God? " I opened the Bible and just continued from where the daily verse started. As I read further down the chapter was the following:
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that   kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have   gathered   your children together   as a hen gathers her brood   under her wings, and   you were not willing!  See, your house is left to you desolate.  For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Then I understood that it was talking about anyone who went in God's name must be called blessed, for example, the prophets.

It was in recent times that God sent me to someone to deliver His message but they did not take it. I realised that God considers everyone prescious and he needs people to convey his message to others. He asks "Whom shall I send?"  I reply "Here I am Lord! " #wadupsongreference

God cleared my doubt and also gave me a practical lesson on what it means. I am glad to know that I am blessed when I spread God's word :)

I feel loved and I feel heard. God is looking over me and responding to me. People sometimes take a long time to reply to your messages, right? But not God. The conversations never end as a prayer always has a response when I keep myself open to what God has to say. God you are my best friend. Let's rock. #thumbsup

P.S: I have never told anyone openly that they are my best friend. This is the first time ;)
