BE PURPOSE FILLED FOR GOD CARES
Today’s Gospel passage is about the trust and tutoring of Jesus. With great trust in the seventy two, Jesus sends them ahead of him to all the towns and places he himself was to visit. To them he entrusts the mission of preaching about the Kingdom of God; and healing and curing of the sick. He does not send them just like that. He tutors them with instructions on their focus about the mission and provision for their livelihood. He gave them a purpose to their life and cared for their provisions as well.
We have a purpose in our life as Christians, to love all and to reflect Christ in all that we do and say. We strive for life sustenance, education, health, wealth and happiness. This is quite normal and natural. Do we strive to be become one like Christ in our loving, caring, speaking, listening, associating and accompanying? We are gifted with a Christian vocation with much love and trust that we be present where Christ himself wishes to be present. The Holy Spirit and the Holy Bible tutors constantly as to how to put on Christ. Do we adhere? Let us be determined and be focused on our Christian living and the caring God will shower His blessings upon even the minute and meticulous things as the Scripture says, “Seek first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Mt. 6: 33). May we be purpose filled for God cares.
