"Those who love their father or mother more than me are not fit to be my disciples; those who love their son or daughter more than me are not fit to be my disciples. Those who do not take up their cross and follow in my steps are not fit to be my disciples. Those who try to gain their own life will lose it; but those who lose their life for my sake will gain it."
Matthew 10:37-39 GNBDK
Reflection:
We weren't born in this world by our will, God willed it and so it happened. As we grew in the world, the people around us and things we are attached to started getting important. But Jesus makes it very clear, although it may seem ironic that although he reiterated the commandment of honouring one's parents and loving one's neighbour. He affirms that God comes first in our lives. Who is it that is first in your life? Do you even realise that God has a plan and purpose exclusively for your life?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to open your heart to his will. May you find strength in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour who always put God first. And may his Holy Spirit always reassure of God's presence in your life. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
