Jesus, help me to remember who my neighbor is by putting
him in my path. Then teach me how to
introduce him to You through my actions.
Amen.
Like Jonah (Jonah 1:1:2:1-2, 11) we all have been commissioned
by God for a specific purpose, and sadly, too often we go to great lengths to
avoid doing what God asks of us.
Many of us would have been better off if we too had been
swallowed by a whale and brought quickly to our senses within a matter of three
days. But instead, we toss around like a sinking ship and nearly take down
everyone else around us.
There is no place to hide from the Lord. We can try, but in the
end we all will experience the darkness of the belly of the whale. The question
is - what kind of shore will we be eventually spat up upon?
O Lord, we pray, let it be the shore of heaven.
“The difference between what we do and what we are capable of
doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.” (Mohandas Gandhi)
