Thursday Of The 4th Week Of Lent

In today’s Gospel (John 5:31-47), Jesus says, “But, you do not want to come to me to have life.”

How often have we, in our humanness, ignored Jesus and attempted to do all things on our own?  How many of us search for something which will fill an emptiness in our hearts? How many of us can sacrifice for the sake of others.

Wars are fought because people want something… land, control, whatever… Relationships are destroyed because of greedy desire and those who decide it’s ok to act on it.

People drop into the depths of despair and addiction, looking for something they don’t have, which could be spiritual, emotional, or tangible.But Jesus says, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.”  (Matthew 6:33, May we continue to count our blessings and follow in Christ’s footsteps. Amen
