Totally Yours

Totus Tuus.
Totally Yours.
This weekend retreat was truly and experience for me of how great it is to belong totally to God. He is so amazing!
Adoration led to a much needed conversation with God. As the Eucharist was exposed, a hundred voices worshiped our Lord with songs of praise. I really prayed the words and soon tears were streaming down my face. They were desperately needed tears. At last I talked to Him about all the worries and hurts that have been weighing me down. I gave Him my broken and bruised heart, truly contrite for what I did to get it in that state. He heard me and caught every tear. That was enough.
But I wanted more. I felt alone, though I knew my Best Friend was enough. God is so good, that He gave me what I wanted as well. A friend of mine turned from her own prayers to give me a hug. "You are beautiful," she whispered in my ear. My words changed to ones of thanksgiving and praise, but God was not done. A few minutes later a second friend came to my side and asked if she could pray for me. I was overwhelmed with God's love for me.
If this is what it means to be totally His, to trust Him with my concerns and future and be given more than I need, I'll do that. Totus Tuus.
