Reflection: Father God, thank You for always welcoming me back in Your loving arms every time I lose my way - Daily Bible Reflections October 29,2015

A LOST SHEEP FOUND

HER WAY BACK HOME

 

… We are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered. – Romans 8:36

 

       When I went back to St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina Center during the Yuletide season, I saw countless lambs beside the statues of Jesus, Mary and the other saints. During my prayer time, when I practiced praying amidst nature, God impressed upon me that I was among those sheep who found their way back home.

     “Return to me, and I will return to you,” thus says the Lord in Zechariah 1:3. He also told me that my life won’t be a bed of roses when I start missionary work the following year. I had no fear whatsover because I knew that the Lord would be with me in this new mission He called me to do.

       I had been trying to avoid this call for the longest time because of my mother’s disapproval. For my family, missionary work means no money.

       Yes, I may not get paid monetarily for this mission, but God assures me that this is my pathway towards heaven. I hang on to His promise as always. Ems Sy Chan (havenofleeanne@yahoo.com)

 

Reflection: Father God, thank You for always welcoming me back in Your loving arms every time I lose my way.

 

Mama Mary, intercede for a sinner like me. May I follow Your example as the greatest disciple of Christ. Amen.
