A quote from Catherine McAuley:
You should endeavor each day to do something more to attract God's love and friendship, than you did the day before.
God simply loves us, no matter where we are the the spiritual journey. God is ready and waiting for us to turn in God's direction. To endeavor to do something more each day to attract God's attention isn't so necessary. God's attention is already focused on you. What we need to do is to turn each day to be aware of God's attention. In practice, it may look like we are doing something to attract God's attention, but what we really are doing is tuning our hearts, minds and body toward God's realm. god is attracting our intention (attention)!
Blessings on you as you reflect upon this. I welcome questions, reflections, comments.

It can be diffucult to call to mind the Love God has for us in the distractions of our daily lives. There are times when we make mistakes, misspeak, or are inconsiderate even though we try to focus on Jesus. The superficial judgements that we make of ourselves (and others)can cause us to forget that we are Beloved Children of God. To stop and actively sense the presence of God's love is a simple act to show God how much we love in return.
