January 2, 2019 Catholic Daily Reflection : Topic - The Way Has Been Prepared…Are You Ready?

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

[John] said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.” John 1:23

John the Baptist is alive!  Yes, he is alive in Heaven receiving his eternal reward.  But he’s also alive in another way.  He’s alive in his ongoing proclamation, calling us to repentance and calling us to prepare the way for the Lord in our lives.
His message is just as relevant for us today as it was some 2,000 years ago.  At the time he walked the Earth, he preached so as to prepare the immediate way for Christ.  He prepared the way for the Messiah to physically enter into our world and present us with the gift of eternal salvation.  But St. John continues to prepare the way for the Lord, if we are willing to listen.
We learn from John that the first step to a life of holiness is to “make straight the way of the Lord.”  How do we do this?  How do we make straight the way of the Lord?  We do it by humbly admitting those sins which get in the way of Jesus coming to us and transforming our lives.
Reflect, today, upon the year that is past as well as the year to come.  What is it that you need to let go of from the past and what is it that you need to focus on for the coming year.  Make a clear resolution to identify any obstacle to the coming of Christ into your heart and let yourself discover the new life that awaits you this coming year.
Lord, You came into this world out of perfect love for me.  You came to save me from all sin and You came to deliver me from all evil.  Help me to see that which has kept me from You this past year and to surrender it to You.  Help me also to have hope and vision for all that awaits and to all which You are calling me.  May I heed the words of the Baptist and make the road ahead straight so that I can follow Your perfect will.  Jesus, I trust in You.
