Once a man came to Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what good thing must I do to receive eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.” When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was very rich.
Matthew 19:16, 21-22 GNBDK
Reflection:
There is a good old saying, 'Everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die'. And if we take a closer look at our lives, we'd find ourselves stuck in the adage. The call to the abundance of Eternal life is an invitation by Jesus and He will never force his will or love on you, the choice is yours, perhaps that is why, the rich man walked away. Are you then all for Jesus or you're going to walk away?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives grace to open your heart to the invitation from Jesus. May you surrender wholeheartedly to him who is source of Eternal life. And may his Holy Spirit keep you rooted in the word of God. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
