We draw all wisdom, strength and courage from our heavenly Father and are able to do many great things. Yet do we offer praise and thanks? Or do we lord it over others thinking we did it all on our own?
It is when we are humble and possess the heart of child who reaches out to hold the hand of our Father in heaven, that we are led to the depths of a wonderful relationship with Him. Jesus makes this possible for through Him we are washed clean, through Him we know much of our heavenly Father, for to know Him is to know the Father.
Let us never take this great and wonderful relationship for granted and strive to always grow in it. For we know that no matter what comes our way, our Lord and God will never abandon us. Glory be to God on High!

GOSPEL
Matthew 11:25–27
At that time Jesus exclaimed:
“I give praise to you, 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 the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
