Blessing of Obedience

A few weeks ago I got home from work, feeling very tired and was trying to organise my birthday party. Going through my list of people to invite it brought back a lot of memories of old friends, people who had been former hookups or those I had crushes on. 

The same evening I was due to have a meeting with my spiritual director. 

With all the old memories and feelings coming to mind, I was struggling with a lot of temptation against purity. But Praise God I was able to force myself to go pray Vespers before leaving to see my spiritual director. As I was praying the Office, the reading for the day was about resisting the devil and he will flee from you, come close to God and He will draw bear to you. 

What Providence! Instantly my temptations went away and I had a very fruitful meeting with my spiritual director. It just shows you the blessings you receive when you remain obedient to God
