Come, and You Will See
Wednesday, January 4 2023
Reflect, today, upon this gentle invitation that our Lord gave to these disciples. As you ponder these words, hear them spoken also to you. At first, spend time reflecting only upon the word “come.” Allow it to penetrate your soul. Allow it to become deeply personal. Know that it is a real and loving invitation from Jesus. After that, try to spend time pondering the words “and you will see.” What is it that God wants you to see? What personal revelation of faith does God want to bestow upon you? “Come, and you will see.” Allow these words to change your life, just as they changed the lives of these first disciples of our Lord.
Lord, You continuously invite me to come to You, to be with You and to sit with You in Your divine presence. Please help me to hear this gentle invitation of Your love. As I do, please open the eyes of my soul to see You, know You and love You more fully. And as I see You, give me grace and strength to follow You wherever You lead. Jesus, I trust in You.
Initially this morning I'm not feeling very good about the New Year. My eyes was in pain, there's a pus under the eyelid. My left eye to cheek are sensitive to touch. My earring was missing yesterday. It seems nothing seems has gone right since Christmas leading up to now. I was hoping that it will be better after Chinese New Year. But it seems so far yet so near. There is so much to prepare and yet, I don't know if I should prepare them. My work is stuck, I just couldn't grasp the idea of the whole system works. Although it sounded easy and my boss made it as easy to understand as possible yet, it is difficult to sit in the mind.
After reading the reflection. What do you want me to see? What do you want me to do? I'm so mentally and physically tired from all the hu-ha in life. Come, as I've come to read the daily bible everyday (as of till now).
Thinking back. Yes, come. I went to church on my birthday on the invitation to help out the ministry to prepare a pot luck for the friars. And I did see few priest and many other people there to celebrate my first birthday without my parents last year. What did God want me to see? I think that would be, I still have lots of people around me to give me love. What faith God bestow on me? It would be the blessings I receive from 6 priest on my birthday. Not many are able to get the blessing of a priest on their birthday, I received 6 on that day!
