From Head to Heart!
Guest User
In the run-up to the feast of St Joseph the Worker, each day a parishioner is sharing how their faith has changed over this past year, something that they have discovered, something which has led them to go deeper. Today, Eleonora!
In the last year faith became more personal rather than something a bit in the air. I realised that God's love for me is so huge that he gave his only son for me… Wow, I never really thought about it before... As I was raised Catholic, I knew it but only as a ‘head’ knowledge, not a ‘heart’ knowledge. Not only has this knowledge begun to sink into my heart, but also the realisation of the tremendous love Jesus had for me that He willingly died on the cross, not for Himself, for me! Again, something my "head" knew but not my heart. This year a lot of "automatic", "it's a given" faith went straight into my heart; it is difficult to describe: some sort of awe, amazement and light-switch being switched on and allowing me to see in a different way... I started craving the Word of God, I have this thirst and hunger for the Bible, I want to know God, I want to have a relationship... I never before EVER read the bible and when I heard it, most of it came in one ear and out of the other. I am so grateful for God's patience and perseverance, He never gave up on me, I feel so blessed!
