Our relationship with God is revealed by Amos. Our Father has been completely aware of us since the moment of our creation. He has created us with the loving heart of a parent and observed all that we have done as we grow towards maturity. He is aware of the turning away from him that happened in pre- Christian Palestine and revealed the necessity for right religion through the words of his prophets. 

The Son, Jesus, is much more than a prophet. He tells the 12 to rely entirely on the providence of God to provide for their needs as they preach from town to town. What is the "peace" that they offer to each house if it can return to them? 

They preach that everyone has to return to the worship for which they were created. They preach that Father, Son and Holy Spirit is near. The Kingdom is not some other creation distant from our daily lives. The being of this world is in the being of God. God himself reveals that humanity is created to ultimately know the Glory of God and that we have a complete freedom of being to accept or not, to believe or deny, to know Eternity or to refuse the gift of life.

Everyday I try to live in accordance with God's plan and know that each pasing day in human time is shortening my chance to bear witness to the Lord of all. I have to do much more than just say "Lord, Lord!"

Dear Lord help Faith to teach me your ways. Let each second that I breath be passed in your presence. Let the sinful attractons of all the evils that are happening now be crushed by the heel of your Mother who in the Glory of your Pure presence can plead for forgiveness and the mercy you have won for us.
