Tuesday for Week Eight for Ordinary Time
Listen for English
Peter begin tell Jesus, “We don leave everything follow You.” Mark 10:28
Christ dey call some people to leave plenty things behind and follow Am. For example, some people get calling to live for monastery, or to live inside cloister as religious sister. Dem truly leave everything for this world behind so dem fit seek and answer Christ invitation to follow Am for this way wey no hold anything back.
But God dey call all of us make we leave “everything” to follow Christ, each of us for our own special way. To leave everything mean say we go surrender our own will and the things wey we prefer for life completely, so we fit serve Christ according to His divine plan. This fit take different forms, but for the end, na always call to leave everything.
The good news be say “to leave everything behind” no mean any other thing pass to leave our own selfish ideas and the things wey we prefer for life. The news wey even better be say the life wey E don prepare for us better well-well pass anything wey we fit dream of or imagine. So, when we talk “No” to our own will and to doing things our own way, na “Yes” we really dey talk to doing things for God way wey perfect.
Why we no go want seek only His will every single day of our life? Why we no go want serve Am and follow His perfect plan. This fit mean to serve our families. To give dem even when we no feel like to do so. E fit mean to try find joy for small-small acts of service and love. For some people, e fit mean to leave all the normal things wey dem dey attached to for life behind, so dem fit seek His will for way wey no hold anything back. No matter the particular calling wey you get for life, to accept God will worth am.
Today, reflect on how ready you dey and how willing you dey to tell Christ “Yes,” no matter wetin He ask you to do. You dey willing to talk “Yes” even to wetin He never reveal to you? Talk “Yes” today to anything wey your future go bring, and God go bless you well-well.
Lord, no matter wetin You call me to do for life, my answer na “Yes.” I want do Your will with all my heart, without putting myself first. Help me make I live out that calling with generous heart and love. Jesus, na You I trust.
