Testify

The readings today encourage us to testify for God. It does not matter what you background is or what you think you are capable of, God calls each and everyone of us to testify in our own little way.

In the First reading, we see Saint Paul’s conversion. A former persecutor of Christ’s followers, Saul was on the way to Damascus when God spoke to him, and he eventually was converted and testified for God. In the gospel, Jesus appeared to the eleven and told them proclaim the gospel.

I believe this shows that God does not discriminate. Does not matter if you’re a devout follower or not, God will still give you the opportunity to follow him and testify for him. It’s just up to us if we will heed his call. Saul could have chosen not to follow God’s voice and go on his way. The apostles could have chosen not to follow Jesus’ commands, since he was not with them anymore. We too could choose to follow him or ignore him.

It is never too late to follow Christ and to testify for him. You are never too bad or too unworthy to testify and follow Him. What matters is we are sensitive enough to His call, and we respond positively to what God wants us to do.

May we testify with our lives, in our own little way, how great God and his love for us is.
