Keep Looking

The WORD today (See http://usccb.org/bible/readings/092613.cfm) reminds me to keep looking for Christ.

Yesterday, I was reminded to not force some things in life. Today, on the other hand, i was reminded to consistently look for Jesus.

In the gospel, people were talking about Jesus. Some say he is john the Baptist. Some say he is Elijah. This got Herod curious so he came looking for Jesus. He had John beheaded, so he wanted to know who is this Jesus they are talking about. No matter what reasons he has for looking for Jesus, what we should imitate is the act of looking for Jesus.

We know why we should look for Jesus. He should be our healer, redeemer, savior, Messiah. He is the God in our lives. He gives us direction and teaches us how to live our lives. That is why we should constantly look for Him. It is not a one time act or decision to look for him. Everyday, in every small and big decision, we should always look for Jesus.  We should never tire of looking for him, of searching for him in our lives.

“And he kept trying to see him”. May we be inspired and keep on looking for Jesus as we live our lives.

Father God,

Thank you for today. Thank you for another opportunity to live a life pleasing to you. Lord, I pray that you give me a heart that would never tire of looking for you. Everyday, in every little or big decision, may I always look for you, and i have faith that as i do, i will always find you. Amen.

Blessed day!

In Christ,
