Daily Devotional Based on the Spiritual Classic He And I
Anniversary of my Firs Communion, as I was looking at some magnificent roses. That’s for you, that you may love Me more. I was thinking of a variety of roses that fold their petals over their hearts when the sun sets, and He said to me after Communion: “Fold yourself on Me. (June 10, 1938).
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst. (John 6:35).
17 Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. (James 1:17).
3 For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3).
O Lord what a lovely message today – the celebration of the Anniversary of a First Communion! For many that was in childhood. I am a convert and I was 54! Happiest day of my life! We all have anniversaries- of our marriages, birth of our children, birthdays themselves! And You celebrate all of these anniversaries with us- it is right there in all of creation which speaks silently to us of Your Everlasting Love! When we ponder these gifts in Creation, we can send back our I love You’s for all of it for ourselves and all generations past, present, and future! Lord, not all anniversaries may be happy at least at first- this year I will celebrate the 50th anniversary of my marriage to my husband who went home to You last year! He bought me roses every anniversary! And like those roses any of us in grief and sorrow can fold ourselves on You knowing that our lives are hidden in You for all Eternity! Fiat!
