Where Is He?

The WORD today (see http://usccb.org/bible/readings/010514.cfm) reminds me that we should not stop looking for Christ.

The magi did not have it easy. They had a hard time looking for Jesus. However, they did not give up. Nowadays, it may not always be easy to look for Jesus. Busyness clouds our vision. Worldly pleasures distract us. Crime and injustice makes us doubt or question. Poverty brings us down. However, in the midst of all of these, we know that Jesus is always there. Like the baby in the manger, even if seemingly out of sight, he is just waiting for us to really make an effort to find him. And when we do, like the magi, we will be asked not to stay with him, but return home, sharing him to the people along the way.

Father God,

Thank you for today. Thank you for reminding and inspiring me to be persistent in looking for you. May I never stop looking for you. And as I find you, may I always have the desire to share you to others. Amen.

Blessed day!

In Christ,
