+ Our take-away thought from today’s readings is this: from
the first reading: it is never too late, we are never too old, we are never too
weak or tired out from life to do the next thing on God’s agenda for us. Since
he has the master-plan – it would behoove us like Abram and Sarai, to do what we
feel moved and inspired to do, with a force behind it that is “unearthly” – for
it truly is “divine in its origins, purpose and wherewithal.”
The gospel passage, tells us,
that once we arrive at our destinations we ought not assess too harshly the
environs in which we find ourselves in: we ought not judge the heart and
motivation of others, until we find our place in the new “digs” – after all, we
were sent to make a difference, not to blame our new neighbors for not already
have the benefit of our God-given new ideas and recommendations.
God thus dealt with us – Jesus
came as one of us – to gradually and o so patiently manifest the full reality
of our potential – and suggest ways and means to accomplish the task: his love is everlasting, and his resources
are infinite: so, we need not fear anything, we need plan only on how to
manifest his love pouring through us – for others. We must live for others and
not for ourselves any longer!
The
word of God is living an effective, able to discern reflections and thoughts of
the heart.
