Who are you and who does God want you to be? - Daily Bible Reflections June 24,2014

St. John the Baptist

 

CURRICULUM VITAE

 

All the neighbors were filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” (Luke 1:65-66)

 

       As I entered high school, my relatives and teachers continuously pressured me to get high grades or do extracurricular work because they said it will look good on my resume.

       Since then, making my resume look attractive has been a priority, especially every time I do a consulting project, attend a training or switch jobs.

       The big question is, does that piece of document define who I am and what I’m worth?

       This is what I believe: Even if you strip away everything — education, career accomplishment, wealth and power — only one thing should matter. That we know we are a child of God and, as His child, we are destined to do great things. JPaul Hernandez (jpaulmh@yahoo.com)

 

Reflection: Who are you and who does God want you to be?

 

Abba, I surrender my totality to You. May I be who You designed me to be. Amen.

 

St. John the Baptist, pray for us.
