“Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.”— Luke 10:3
I realized something as I turned on the car’s ignition key. My parking ticket was missing!
I scoured my wallet. I searched inside the car. I went out of the car and looked underneath it. Nothing. I decided to retrace my steps to the mall. My head was bowed down as I looked intently on the floor with the hope of finding my lost parking ticket. But it was not my lucky day. I decided to go back to the parking lot as my search turned futile. I might as well pay the full penalty for losing the parking ticket.
As I was about to ride the car, a security guard approached me. “Sir, are you looking for something?” I noticed his smile as I shared my concern. Then he pointed to the car’s wiper where a parking ticket was securely fastened. I was both happy and surprised at the turn of events. The parking ticket was just there in front of me and I didn’t notice it!
God calls us to carry out His mission. Often, it doesn’t require us to go to far-flung places. So don’t look too far and end up frustrated. Our mission field may be right before our eyes. - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
Reflect: Prepare your evangelization list and start with your family and friends.
Lord, bless this list. May Your Holy Spirit encourage me to share about Your love to the people in my list. Amen.
St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us.
