“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6).
The realities of heaven are only desired by those who have been born from above. For them, holiness becomes a pleasure, sincere worship is a joy, and the things of God are food for the soul. This is the true sign of spiritual life: finding contentment not in what the world offers, but in everything that comes from the Lord.
And this life is only possible when we receive the Spirit of obedience, who leads us to keep the splendid commandments of the Most High. It is not a burden, but a choice of love and reverence. Those who seek the Lord in this way come to value each divine command as a treasure that strengthens the heart and prepares it for eternity.
So, examine yourself: where is your delight? If it is in faithfulness to the Lord, you are on the path of life. The Father reveals His plans and grants eternal blessings to those who walk according to His holy Law, leading them to the Son to find forgiveness and salvation. Adapted from J.C. Philpot. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Holy Father, I acknowledge that only those who are born from above can enjoy Your presence as the greatest pleasure in life. Give me a heart turned toward what is eternal.
Beloved Lord, guide me to faithfully obey Your splendid commandments. May my mind be occupied with the things of heaven and may my soul find joy in walking in Your will.
Oh, dear God, I thank You because You teach me to desire what is holy and eternal. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is a delight to my soul. Your commandments are like honey that sweetens my path. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
