Luke 11:23
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”
----------------------------------------------
The recent Mexico project in which I was involved is a big one compared to whatever I have handled before. It involves refurbishing 110 thousand square feet of office and manufacturing space, moving around 500 pieces of equipment and mobilizing hundreds of people in fourteen months.
Therefore, even at the start, teamwork is the key. We should work together, plan together and execute together. There will be disagreements, but in the end, a team consensus will prevail.
Whoever disagrees can leave the team and do something else.
And in our spiritual journey, the same is expected from us by Jesus. We should always be with Him and not against Him. Whoever disagrees can leave the team and be with someone else (and that someone else can only be Satan himself).
When you share yourself in relationship with Jesus, when you talk to him often and call out to Him in faith, He will reward you by giving you more of Himself. Being with Him takes courage, and it takes time. Held back by our fears, we can move beyond them only through the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
Gradually you will sense that Jesus is there, listening to your prayers, answering through Scripture and promptings in your heart. And you will surely feel in your heart that something wonderful is happening.
Let us pray +
God, our Father, You redeemed us and made us Your children in Christ. Through Him You have saved us from death and given us Your Divine life of grace. By becoming more like Jesus on earth, may I come to share His glory in Heaven. Give me the peace of Your kingdom, which this world does not give. Amen +
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
