Today our pastor talked about Obstacles in our relationship with Jesus. This was to coincide with the gospel reading of Zacchaeus.
I have obstacles. I'm working on them. What worries me is the obstacles within myself that I don't know about - that I am not aware of.
I want to be holy. I try. I'm really hard on myself, but still I fail.
Lord, help me become aware of the obstacles placed between you and me and help me to remove them - or better yet, please....you remove them because you can do it better. Then maybe I will become the person you want me to be. Like Zacchaeus I am climbing every tree I can see in order to see you better, and it pains me to think of the times you might have invited me down and I have not heard your voice.
