Fair with God

The WORD today (see http://usccb.org/bible/readings/012814.cfm) reminds me that with God, things are fair.

They say that life is unfair. Some people are really lucky and blessed that they are born in a good and wealthy family, that they don’t have to work to survive. However, some are born in poor families, where they need to work all their lives just to makes ends meet. Unfair, right? To think that choosing the family is not for ours to decide.

However, with God, that’s not the case. We all have equal opportunities to be part of God’s family, to be God’s children.

In the gospel, we see that family ties does not matter that much to God. Spiritual ties are not born with, they are relationships that are made. And Jesus tells us how – “whoever does the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother.” We all have equal opportunities to have that relationship with Jesus. We all know how to be God’s children. There is not limit to his family, we just need to do our part.

May we always take comfort that no matter how unfair this life may treat us, in the spiritual life, we are all equal – and all of us have the opportunity to be God’s children.

Father God,

Thank you for today. thank you for reminding me how to be your child. Thank you for being fair, for being generous, for being loving. Lord, I pray that I may choose to do your will every day, in the little and big decisions that I make. Amen.

Blessed day!

In Christ,
