'For I have found His favour
And my heart rejoice in Him.'
As we sang the hymn My Soul Magnifies The Lord and these lines came, I know that my heart sang them too. It truly was the Holy Spirit glorifying God in me and Mother Mary praising Him with me, as I had prayed. My own relationship with God came to mind.
Actually, this prayer had been answered even before I prayed it. How great is my God who knows what I need even before I ask Him! How great is He for using me to glorify Himself! :) During Offertory, I was given the realization that I am special, set apart, anointed and chosen. Despite the times I nurse a flu, I can still sing to His glory. How indulgent and loving He is towards me!
The times He revealed His love for me came flooding back to me. I am referring specifically to God the Father, my Daddy-o. He first did so by calling me to a silent retreat and revealing His constant indulgence towards me. I believe the Holy Spirit gave me this name to address Him with, since they are so close to each other. The proof is that I thought it was just a name I myself came up with but it really means Abba Father :) He then affirmed His love for me through these lines which He repeatedly
sang to me during my choir retreat.
'I have loved you with an everlasting love
I have called you and you are Mine.'
How humbled and grateful I am! My God loves Me! I am but a mere human being who does not deserve His love. He is so almighty and I am so small, so unworthy! He chose to overlook my flaws and sins, my impurity and dirt. How humbled I am!
