AVAILABLE 24/7
“Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” – John 6:35
In a scene from the movie Major League, two
teammates are on a plane together: Eddie, a Christian, and Pedro, a
recent convert to the occult. It’s a rough flight due to a thunderstorm.
Loud thunder shakes the plane, and Pedro, fearing the worst, makes the
sign of the cross. Seeing this, Eddie utters, “Oh, now you come around!”
The scene was hilarious. But it also unwittingly portrayed a somber
reality. It’s not uncommon that there are people who only reach out to
God when they need to be saved from a bad situation; or when they are
totally helpless, begging for a miracle; or worse, on their last days.
The rest of their lives, they simply forget God.
For sure, our ever merciful God will minister to them as He pleases.
But these people are missing out on what it means to have a real life
relationship with God — one built on faith, hope and love. It’s a grace
available to them 24/7 and made possible only through Jesus.
Let’s pray and work that they get to know and receive Him before it’s too late. Erwin Roceles (erwin_roceles@yahoo.com)
Reflection: “Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning.” (Rick Warren)
Dear
Jesus, I’m forever grateful for all that You are to me. And most of
all, thank You for the gift of eternal life. I pray that others will get
to know and receive You — so that they, too, may be saved.
St. Adalbert of Prague, pray for us.
