The WORD today (See http://usccb.org/bible/readings/090914.cfm) reminds me that God’s power and love are enough for everyone.
A few months back, there was a problem with the issuance of NBI clearance. They had a problem with their system, and it affected the number of clearance they were able to release for the day. Aside from the long lines due to slow processing, people also came in really early because they knew that there was a cut off and not all that need the clearance would be accommodated.
This is not the case with God. He has more than enough for everyone.
And he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground.
A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people
from all Judea and Jerusalem
and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon
came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured.
Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him
because power came forth from him and healed them all

In the gospel, we see that his power is enough for everyone. No matter how many come to him, it won’t run out. There is no quota or limitation of God’s power. God healed them all.
God’s love is also enough for everyone. No matter how simple or serious your concern may be, his love is for you. in the gospel, the people had different concerns – those with diseases and even those tormented by demons. God cured them all.
May we always remember how different God is. He is out of this world. His love and power is enough for everyone no matter how many come to him for healing and help, he will help all. And his love is power is effective – no matter how serious or simple your concern is.
Father God,
Thank you for today. Thank you for another day to live. Thank you for another chance to love and serve you. Lord, thank you for another reminder of how loving and powerful you are. may I always come to you, knowing that your power is limitless and your love is unlimited. Amen.
Blessed day!
In Christ,
