Do you doubt the Love of God?  The truth is that God is relentless in His pursuit of you.  Though much of our holiness depends upon us, most of it depends upon God.  While here on Earth, God never ceases to pursue you and to seek your conversion.  He sends His Mercy to you constantly in every way imaginable.  The problem is that if your heart is “deaf and blind” it will not perceive the tireless ways that God pursues you.  But even in your deafness and blindness, God speaks and pursues and seeks and attempts everything possible so as to win you for Himself.  In the end, if a soul remains obstinate and closed, God can do little more.  He only needs a very small opening in order to begin His good work in you but if there is not even a small opening, then even God’s active pursuit will not change your life.  Open your heart to Him.  Even if you are in the depths of despair, allow Him to come to you with one drop of His perfect Mercy.  Never close the door completely and if you have, do not hold it shut.  He will find a way if you let Him (See Diary #1486).

Hopefully you daily seek to open your heart wide to the Mercy of God.  But if you find that you have been bound by the chains of sin, realize that your greatest advocate is our merciful Lord.  He can do wonders for those who are trapped and imprisoned by sin, or have become deaf and blind to His grace.  Reflect upon how open you are to His Mercy today and resolve to let Him come to you so as to begin pouring His Mercy into your weary soul.

Lord, when I feel trapped or confused in life I know that You will pursue me with Your unlimited passion and Mercy.  Your relentless love gives me hope when I am tempted to despair.  Help me to open myself to You and to allow You to do Your perfect work of Mercy on my life.  I thank You, dear Lord, with profound gratitude.  Jesus, I trust in You.
