My morning prayer is always my choice to start each day aware that I am living in the presence of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT. It is first of all an Act of Faith. I know that I am one of the billions of souls who are or have ever lived who are known in the infinite possibilities of their beings by the "Ever-Greater".
It is simultaneously an Act of Hope for I "raise my heart and mind" to God by following the history of our Salvation recorded in the Scriptures knowing that IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT never lies and that the truth of His Word is guaranteed by the real-time events of the Incarnation.
Those times and these are bound together by the Love that is the "Good" our creator "saw" in his creation and revealed to Adam by giving him the freedom to choose to be with the Supreme Being in Eternal life or to place his trust solely in his own consciousness of being the Human whom God has chosen to do his will on the material earth as it is done in the realm of the Spirit.
I know that "good intentions" are not necessarily "good deeds". The above is the "best me" and I know that I have often knowingly rejected the Will of God and thus driven nails through the hands of Our Saviour.
Sometimes the scriptures have saddened me as it sometimes appears that our freedom of will is knowingly curtailed by God's Predestination. In the Old Testament God allows the Israelites to ethnically cleanse the Holy Land of seven nations to make room for his chosen ones. In today's Gospel passage St John records that in Jesus' own summary of the "Incarnation Event" he remarks
"I know whom I have chosen."
Dear Lord, This morning's prayers have to include a petition for the wisdom to come to an understanding of how prescience is not the same as predestination when it is an Act of God. You know that I am completely sincere in this question and that I truly want to believe in my personal freedom. How could it be that you are responsible for the failings of my life, my freely chosen sins.?
