"Perceiving the disciples Peter and John
to be uneducated, unskilled
ordinary men,
the high priest, elders and scribes
were amazed and they recognized them
as the companions of Jesus."
Acts 4:13
Am I an ordinary person?
Other people may perceive me
to be ordinary, for sure!
But I have inside me an indescribable joy,
like a fountain,
and I do believe it is because I know
the giver of that fountain!
Like Peter and John,
Jesus is my companion!
And that is why you can't stop me
from sharing about God-
I want everyone to have that same joy,
that amazing peace that does not
depend on whether things around me are perfect!
"We celebrate the fact that we are so important to God
that He wants to be knitted to us
in an intimate, unbreakable bond."
from the (Word Among Us)
If we attach ourselves to Him,
as a branch attaches to the vine,
we will have that joy and peace
that He promises.
Just as Mary's YES
overturned centuries of sin,
our YES to God can unleash
a tidal wave of grace
in the lives of those around us.
(from the Word Among Us)
Let us say YES to God every day!
Like Mary, like Peter and John,
like Mother Teresa,
and countless saints,
we can make a difference in this world!
