Dear Lord it had never occurred to me to think about just how much we lost when sin came into the world. The peace and harmony our loving God intended for us. Between God our Father and us, man and woman, us and nature.
How sin blinds the intellect to see what isn’t and to shun the truth that is. How we use arithmetic to conclude that 1+1+1 equals 3 and others use the same equation to denounce the Holy Trinity instead of allowing our Loving Father who gave us arithmetic in the first place to guide us into a deeper truth and understanding.
Thank You Abba, Father for the most precious gift of Your Son Jesus Christ who restores what was lost.
Sweet Jesus by Your love, life, death and resurrection ; You draw all us sinners to yourself that we may live. Through the Holy Spirit let us always respond to Your call. Open our hearts and minds so that we may always see and hear Your Word and Your Will for us. Amen

Luke 10:21–24
Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said,
“I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
Turning to the disciples in private he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”
