Spiritual exercises: Jesus is your teacher

Do you feel comfortable in calling Jesus your Master? Some prefer to call him "friend" or "shepherd". And these titles are true. But what about the Master? Ideally, we will all come to give ourselves to our Lord as Master of our lives. We must not only become servants, we must also become slaves. Slaves of Christ. If that is not a good thing, simply meditate on what kind of Master our Lord would be. He would be a Master who directs us with perfect commands of love. Since he is a God of perfect love, we should not be afraid to abandon ourselves in his hands in this holy and submissive way.

Reflect today on the joy of being totally handed over to Christ and of being completely under his direction. Reflect on every word you say and every action you do by living in obedience to His perfect plan. We should not only be completely free from any fear of such a Master, we should run to him and try to live in perfect obedience.

Prayer 

Lord, you are the Master of my life. You I submit my life in a holy bondage of love. In this holy bondage, I thank you for making me free to live and love as you wish. Thank you for commanding me in accordance with your most perfect will. Jesus I believe in you.

EXERCISE: START TODAY IN EVERYTHING YOU DO IN YOUR LIFE TO FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS AND LAWS OF JESUS. YOU COMMIT YOURSELF TO BE A TRUE STUDENT AND NOTHING WILL HAVE TO PUT YOU AGAINST THESE TEACHINGS BUT THEY WILL BE THE LIGHTHOUSE OF YOUR LIFE.
