Good morning good people,
May the Lord give you peace and happiness in the Holy Spirit.
Are we the entrance and hindrance to growth?
It is 4th June 2024.
We reflect on 2 Peter 3:11-15, 17-18 and Mark 12:13-17.
New heaven and earth are possible where God becomes the centre and reason for our existence and living.
Patience and peace are possible for those who wait for the coming of the Lord and vow not to listen to false and fake teachers and preachers.
We are living in a world that promotes and propagates fake news and there are millions of people believe it.
We begin losing hope in our leaders and the institutions we treasured once seeing all that is unfolding in the world day by day.
We compromise our moral and spiritual lives over social lives. We begin to wonder whether we do things right or wrong and begin to justify our stand and actions.
Life must be an ever-growing shrub that heals the environment and nourishes the growth from within. In the first reading,
St. Peter as he concludes the epistle warns us not to be carried away by the unprincipled people but be willing to grow spiritually and challenge those people by standing for truth and love.
The Gospel invites us to be generous to God as we are always going out for people. At times we begin to take from the resources whether it is time, money or human resources that belong to God and offer our sustenance and survival.
We cannot and should not use that which belongs to God for the welfare of the state and the individuals. God is the sovereign, and none is equal to God. We must not engage ourselves in praising and worshipping a leader over God in our lives.
No human can replace the place of God and the honour God alone enjoys in our life.
May you have a good day. God bless you.
