"Look At Me"

As I was sitting in Holy Thursday Mass, I was overcome with many emotions. Everything was so beautiful yet I felt that I couldn't enjoy it, like something I had done was holding me back. I kept trying to figure out what was wrong so that I could make it better but I realized that I could not fix it on my own. I knelt down and prayed to Jesus asking Him to help me. As I was praying I heard Him say, "Look at me." I looked up and upon doing so, my eyes met up with Jesus who was hanging limp on the cross. He addressed me by name and said, "I love you this much. I love you, I love you, I love you." I felt a flood of love pouring out from His arms. At that moment I realized that His arms are always wide open for me. Nothing I do will ever cause Him to close His arms and push me away. When I look at the cross, Jesus' arms are nailed there, He isn't going anywhere. His unending love is there forever and the arms that conquered the world are never to big or far away to hold you and I.
