Daily Reflection with Fr. Tomas Del Valle-Reyes
Dear Friends: Praying is not easy. Our daily routine calls for our full attention. And the world around us puts little value on prayer; our lives are full of material things but at the same time are getting emptier in God’s value.
For this reason, I will post a daily reflection and as you visit this site may the Holy Spirit within you come to your aid and guide you gently to the God who loves you.
"...I am with YOU always…AM WITH YOU ALWAYS..." Matthew 28:20
Little one,
When you wakened this morning, I thought perhaps
you'd talk to Me and involve Me in your day,
but you were preoccupied finding something to wear for work.
When you'd time to spare, I thought we'd have a few moments together, but you got on the phone and started talking to somebody else.
I noticed that before you ate lunch at work, you looked around
and seemed embarrassed to talk to Me.
Maybe that's why you didn't bow your head and give thanks,
even though some of your friends did.
Later at home, I waited while you watched television, ate
dinner, and did paperwork.
At bedtime I guess you were just too tired, because you dropped into bed and fell fast asleep.
Do you know I'm always here for you?
I love you so much that I wait every day for a prayer,
a thought, or just a chance to speak with you.
The problem as I see it is - it's hard to have a one-sided conversation. Signed, Your Friend, Jesus'. ..." Matthew 28:20
When did you last talk with the Lord?
Or take time to listen to Him?
There's never a time when He's not speaking; no room so dark, no lounge so crowded, or no office so busy that He's not there.
Never mistake your insensitivity for His absence.
Among life's fleeting promises of pleasure is this timeless assurance, '...I am with you always...' (Matt 28:20 NIV).
Make time for Him today!

Ultimately, there's nothing that can fill the emptiness of the human heart - but God.
There's no solution to war, prejudice, and injustice - but God.
There's no satisfaction for the cravings of the flesh - but God.
There's no healing for the brokenhearted, lonely and desperate - but God.
There's no turning point for human depravity - but God.
There's no deliverance from addiction and heartache - but God.
The 'But God' factor breaks every generational curse that reaches you through Adam's sin.
One Greek translation of the word ‘spirit’ is 'air'.
When you were 'dead in trespasses and sins (' (Ephesians 2:1),
God breathed divine air into you.
Paul says, “and you, (He made alive, when you were dead by your trespasses and sins' (Ephesians 2:1 Amp).
The truth is you never really lived until you met the Lord!
The 'But God' factor turns tragedy into triumph. It's the turning point in your story.
Hell would be partying today, 'but God' chose to lavish His mercy and grace on you.
Listen: '...though He was rich, yet for your sake
He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich' (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Rich in wisdom, Rich in achievements, Rich in relationships and Rich in 'all things'.
Despite satan’s efforts to destroy, diminish, defame and discourage you, God never once took His hand off your life.
He brought you to an understanding of Jesus as your Savior and Lord; now He's raising you up to fulfill His purposes.
No matter how bad things may look today, rise up and declare 'But God!'
