Like the Psalmist in the 42nd Psalm, we may struggle to feel the presence of God. We may feel that we are driven from God or that we have driven God from us. When Jesus met a man who undoubtedly felt that he had been driven from God and others, Jesus triumphed over that which had driven him away from God and others (Luke 8:26-39).
What drives us from God and others? It could be a painful addiction; a simple misunderstanding that became a complex misunderstanding; to such issues such as religion, language, economic standing, politics, nationality, and so forth. Christ shows us a better way than our learned patterns of destruction that drive us away from God and one another. Christ brings the joy of restoration and wholeness and enlists us in this divine endeavor of bringing healing and restoration to the world.
Let us pray to God, full of compassion and mercy: Father, you sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy. Through them we come to know the mystery of your life. Give us the grace to respond to your goodness through the Holy Spirit poured into our hearts. Inspire us to love our brothers and sisters, because you have loved us first in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

The Holy Spirit continually leads us in all truth (John 16:12-15). This is not necessarily truth in a scientific or mathematical sense; rather, it is truth as it relates to living a life of truth. It takes patience to gradually integrate the truth of God’s love into our lives. The Holy Spirit guides us as we are able and ready to receive such guidance and truth.
Although our circumstances and situations constantly change, the Holy Spirit leads us to base our life upon the truth of God’s love revealed in Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1-5). Through the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, we are drawn into closer communion with God the Father and with one another. May we be guided by the Holy Spirit to a deeper and closer walk with God in imitation of the truth of God’s love revealed in Jesus Christ.
