POWER OF GRACE
Of
this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me
in accord with the exercise of his power. – Ephesians 3:7
I am one of the most impatient people I know. Although to my
assessment, I have already completed 10,000 hours of waiting for other
people for meetings, dates and events, my patience runs thin when it
comes to myself. I get so frustrated whenever I fail to execute my
plans, lose discipline and start doubting my capabilities.
Much more when I sin.
Sometimes frustration gets the better of me that I am tempted to
question why God has called me to serve Him in the first place. That’s
why before, during and after carrying out every ministry task given to
me, I am always left amazed at how I was able to do it.
But then again, it’s not my work. It’s all God’s doing. His
grace can never be earned — He generously bestows it to strengthen His
children. Knowing every bit of myself, flaws and weaknesses included, I
have no right to boast of who I am. I can only testify that regardless
of how I see myself, God finds a way to maximize me as He wills.
I am only made worthy by God’s love, empowered by His grace. Maymay R. Salvosa (cmaysalvosa@yahoo.com)
Reflection:Open yourself to God’s grace. He will never give up on you.
Father, let Your grace and love overflow in me, such that everything I do may reflect You today, Amen.
St. Isaac Jogues and Companions, pray for us.
