So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Luke 7:6-7 NIV
Reflection:
We can often feel entitled to the grace of God, but on our own we can do nothing to merit it, for grace is a gift from God. Infact most times we ourselves end up blocking this grace by giving into our ego and pride. The common thread between the Centurion, the publican and the theif on the right side of the cross, was their humility and the acknowledgement of the need for a saviour. And in doing they received God's grace in abundance. Are we then willing to receive God's grace?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father removes all obstacles from your life as you humbly acknowledge his son Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. In doing so may you experience the richness of his grace in the abundance of your life. And may his Holy Spirit guide you along the way. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
