Today's Gospel Verses
Matthew 5:13-16
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
“You are the light of the world.A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Today's Reflection
To be at the right place and at the right time is not just a nice-sounding phrase.
Because to be at the right place and at the right time, a person will be able to see the meaning and purpose of his life.
For us, being at the right place and at the right time is not about being lucky or by chance.
We believe that God has an appointed time in His plan, and that is why we say that things happen in God's time.
So while we wait for God's appointed time for us in His plan, we need to be like salt that is kept in good condition and like a lamp that is ready to be lit at any time.
When good salt is put into food, the taste is enhanced and the food is delicious.
When a lamp is in operational-ready condition, then when it is needed, its light will shine in the darkness.
So for us, when we are who we are at where we belong, then the time has come for God to use us as His instrument in carrying out His plan.
Meanwhile let us live good lives and be alert for God's appointed time to come for us.
GOD BLESS YOU
Good morning. Have a nice day.
