God in my life ?

Come to me, all you who are weary and bent down with a burden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11.28

Today, let us ask ourselves the following questions : What is the place of God in my busy life ? Do I need him ? What can it bring me more than what I already have ?

One thing is certain : when we look around us at creation, the wonders of nature, the human being, the different seasons, the earth and the universe, all of this is beyond our understanding... Honestly, we are in awe of the work of the architect who is at the origin of all this.

However, the writings of the Bible were inspired to men by the same person : God himself ! From beginning to end, from the book of Genesis to that of Revelation, we recognize the divine author, notably through his message of love for human beings.

Through Jesus Christ, God invites people to come to him in intimacy, one-on-one with him. We can entrust our burdens to him or simply open our hearts to him. God fulfills our needs for peace, for forgiveness, for rest. He relieves us of our burdens of guilt. It answers our inner questions.

Through Jesus, God wishes us well and invites us to approach him...
