SIRACH 18:13b-14
The compassion of the Lord is for every living thing.
He rebukes and trains and teaches them,
and turns them back, as a shepherd his flock.
He has compassion on those who accept his discipline
and who are eager for his precepts.
---- mine,
As long as today lasts, you can turn away from your self-centeredness, self-interest, and concupiscence. All you have, all you can count on, all that is in your control is the present moment yet you squander your todays with frivolity, you give Me the bare minimum, you barely acknowledge by the way you live your life, that I AM your God, your Lord, your King. How much longer do you think you have? How much longer do you think I will be patient with you? Is it not time for you to give your Lord what is due to Me? Now is the day, the hour, and the moment, this is all you have. Stop, listen, and obey. Only the meek, the humble, the little ones, can truly comprehend what it means to be loved and be beloved of God. Unless you become like a little child you cannot enter My Kingdom.
