REFLECTIONS from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark 10:17-27 (Monday 5.28.2018)
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.'"
He replied and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth."
Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to (the) poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."
At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!"
The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
It is easier for a camel to pass through (the) eye of (a) needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God."
✨✨✨ REFLECTIONS ✨✨✨
"God is the source of everything and in Him all things are Possible!"
In our life, we should reflect that everything we have in this world will be all left behind when times comes that we will have to close our eyes from this mundane reality. Believe it or not there is absolutely a place for those who obey the commandments of God, a place after our earthly pilgrimage, a Home for all of us as Children of God where eternity dwells, and that is called HEAVEN!
Heaven is the ultimate destiny of man's life however you need to work for your destiny. This world is our training ground for heaven and your choices in this life, the way you live your life will determine your Destiny. If you are living a sinful life then you must change because Heaven has no room for sin. Make a choice and put an end to everything that is keeping you away from God. Start living a life with dignity, respect and love for after all the reward in the end is much more than the worth you can imagine.
Ask yourself today:
How am I doing in this life?
What are the choices that I need to do to live a better life?
What are the things is keeping me away from God and How do I make Changes to them?
✨✨✨✨✨ 💝💝💝 ✨✨✨✨✨
DO GOOD NOT FOR THIS WORLD BUT FOR HEAVEN!
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
