The kingdom of heaven is at hand (12/03)

Gospel: Matthew 9:35-10:1, 5-8 

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay. ~ Matthew 10:8

How grateful we should be for our Lord God for He is really awesome and wonderful. He has endowed us with so many gifts and graces and blessings in life. These gifts and graces that God has given us will be our guiding tools to be used in partaking with His mission for the whole world - His greatest mission of bringing back all those that have lost their path and lead them to His way. Our God has always an invitation for all of us, an invitation to accept within ourselves the reality of Life. A life having armed with the spiritual tools, a life in service to others, a life mandated to work on a specific task , a life with full of sacrifices in fulfilling God’s mission and to be with Him in His kingdom on His perfect time.

Just as what Jesus have done when He chose to live with us, He showed to us the right way on how to live the Life He has given us. Because God has created us according to His image with mind, heart and soul and been embraced with so many gifts and graces. That is why He wants us to live the very essence of this LIFE and that is to give LIFE also to others so that the LIGHT of the world will shine on those who will follow His will and will receive the reward of eternal life. God is our teacher and preacher.  But the way He teaches us is not just merely thru His words but those words were demonstrated to us so that all mankind will understand clearly the message of God to all humanity.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a generous God. For God knows who are in great need. And He gives freely even before we ask. Jesus said to his disciples: Freely you have received, freely give (Matthew 10:8).  He is a compassionate God.  For His hand are always ready to offer to those who accept Him. He is a living God.  By accepting His generosity to us… by acknowledging the graces and blessings of God to us… we are then also accepting the task He has commissioned to us.

Oh God whatever Your will to us…may it be done unto us.
