Action, Man

The WORD today (See http://usccb.org/bible/readings/110313.cfm) reminds me that we should be moved into action as we experience God.

God wants us to act. Experiencing him is not enough. Knowing him is not enough. In Scripture it says that faith without works is dead. Indeed, hindi pwedeng puro realizations lang. We should act.

In the gospel we see how God wants us to act. How he values us acting. Repenting. He visited Zacchaeus, and his visit was a fruitful one. Zacchaeus did not only know God and learned about Him. He had realizations, but it did not stop there. It moved him into action, and Jesus appreciated it and confirmed that "salvation has come to this house"

They say love is not love till you give it away. And same with God, knowing him is not real until it moves us to action - to repentance and to good works.

May we be challenged and inspired.

Father God,

Thank you for today. Thank you for another day to live. Thank you for another Sunday! Lord, I thank you for Zacchaeus who is an inspiration. Thank you for not being quick to judge. I pray that experiencing you ib my life move me into action - to repent and to do good. Amen.

Blessed Sunday!

In Christ,
