Feast of St. Luke, Evangelist
RELATIONSHIP EXPERT
But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the proclamation might be completed... – 2 Timothy 4:17
My
toes curled as I read the description before my name. “Relationship
expert.” Yikes! Was he referring to me? Bo Sanchez had asked me if I
could join him as he launched his OneTrueLoveClub.com. It’s a website
that provides support and lots of resources for the single person in
search of his or her lifetime partner. Since the success of my first
book, Confessions
of an Impatient Bride, I knew that the Lord had called me to minister
to single women. So I readily accepted Bo’s invitation.
But I had to contest Bo’s write-up about me in the website. “Me? A relationship expert? I’m the one who gets into snags with my closest friends, remember?” I wrote him in an email.
Bo simply replied, “The best of us learn the most from our mistakes.” Ay. There he goes again with his simple, cut-to-the-chase wisdom.
When I think about it, that’s how God is with us. We’re not yet the
expert that we’re described to be, but in His eyes, He already sees the
finished product. As He pours out His grace upon us and as we respond,
we are transformed from glory to glory into the very image of His Son. Rissa Singson-Kawpeng (justbreatherissa@gmail.com)
Reflection: God
has a great plan for your life, a destiny to fulfill...Nothing will be
able to keep you from becoming all that God created you to be. (Joel
Osteen)
Jesus, teach me to cooperate with Your grace that I may grow into the person You’ve called me to be. Amen.
St. Luke, evangelist, pray for us.
