These words from the Psalm express exactly what I felt,and how I feel now, after my priestly ordination on December 3rd. The Lord has done great things for me and as much as I try to repay him, I keep failing at it. He outdoes me every time. I want to be generous; He is more than I am. I want to give my life to him, He gives me His own life, a hundredfold over! I am a priest forever; His priest. There are no words to describe it. As I prepared myself for the most important moment in my life these words kept coming to my heart: “The best is yet to come”. That is Christian hope. Living life with the certainty that the Lord is preparing something even greater for me. This weekend has been filled to the brim with prayer, joy, and wonderful sentiments. Yet, we will see greater things than this. The Lord is at work in us, and we trust that the best is yet to come. Click to watch the livestream!
