Sunday Gospel Reflections

/Gospel/ Reflection

A HARD LESSON

Well, this reflections should be on Sundays. But the event's in one's life can be so unpredictable. Here's what happened during the past weeks since my last Sunday Gospel Reflection, I have it summarized in a sentence: I was too focused on my goals. Yes, I admit it. I was distant from my religious obligations the past week even during the Holy Week. I was utterly Spiritually Absent. Though I had my fasting and kept a pious night. Though my evening prayers were nothing but telling God about my plans, plans and plans. I was so engulf into it that I even assured myself that God will answer them--even when I'm not doing my own obligations to Him. I was acting out like this way: "Grant my wish before I'll follow." Yap, I agree, it was pathetic.

But God is a great teacher, and when He teaches His lessons he make sure His pupil will never forget it. To make it short, He taught me one valuable lesson: you are NOTHING without me, by bringing my plans into the trash bin. Then I realized and remembered a Bible passage the goes like this, '...seek Him first and everything shall come after...' My plans fulfillment should be centered on Him and not on me, as all of our plans should. Once you become God's disciple, which comes by accepting Him, you should let Him lead you in everything that you do. This is what I have learned and so I passed in on to you; my own way of constantly reminding myself and my way of telling you to avoid doing the same thing. God Bless!
