Daily Bible Reflections - January 14,2013


A SMALL YES
 
“Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” – Mark 1:17
 
I heard this call way back in 1980 and with God’s grace, I said, “Yes, Lord.” In more than 30 years, I do testify that Jesus was able to “fish men” through me in various ways — in my counseling, my writings and reflections, and in the various ministries I embarked on, especially in my parish ministry as coordinator of the BEC (Basic Ecclesial Communities).
Our zone leaders here are simple folk and some have not even finished secondary education. But the Lord used their yes to serve as leaders in building BECs to “fish men” in the parish areas. There are those who were unchurched before but are now potential area leaders. Their weekly Bible sharing sessions give Jesus a chance to speak to them, direct them and mold them as Christians. Some of them have already whispered a yes to the Lord, too.
My life has taught me that our small yes to the Lord, faithfully lived, is all He needs to build His Church and fish men — the children whom He longs to be with forever. Our positive response consequently fishes other yeses for  the Lord, bringing in more and more fishers of men for the Kingdom. Cristy Galang (cristy_cc@yahoo.com)
 
Reflection: Listen to the Lord in prayer or through Scripture or in the silence of your heart. Whatever He tells you to do, say yes.
 
Lord, I want to follow You all the days of my life here on earth. I surrender my all, Lord, that You may be able to use me for Your greater glory. Amen.
 
Servant of God John the Gardener, pray for us.
