post #123
Today’s sermon was very interesting. The bible reading was taken from Mark 12: 28-34. It was about the greatest commandment. The first is that you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
And the pastor started the sermon. He talked about love. How much we love God and other people. Is our love conditional or unconditional one? Do we search God only when we need Him in trouble times or when we want something? And talking about our love to God, if we really love Him, will we give our best for Him? It’s not that hard to find examples of this. Simple things, do we attend the mass on time without being late? Give our best time for God. How about the way we dress when we attend the mass?
I think the whole point of giving my best for God is intention. With a good and pure intention, simple things we do, we’ll do it our best.
It made me think about myself. When I was sick and had my bed rest, I always spent some amount of time to read bible. What was my intention reading bible at that time? Did I do that just because I had nothing else to do? I don’t think so. Well…now I try to make this a habit. I want to spend some time to listen to God’s words. I’m not sure if I’ve given my best for God, but I’m trying to do so, each passing day. It’s easier said than done, that’s why we always need some reminder and that’s what I hope this blog will be. A reminder for us to give our best for God.
So if I may ask you, have you given your best for God?
God bless.
