Mark 10:51-52
The blind man replied to him, "Master,
I want to see."
Jesus
told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you."
During brownouts, me and my playmates would
go out of the house and play one of our favorite games – hide and seek. In our place, there were a lot of places
where one can hide – inside a jeepney, behind or inside a trash can (yes, one
of us tried hiding inside it once, that is why in the next round, we were able
to identify his location by his smelly scent), garage, on top of trees, behind
the fences, and yes, inside a drum filled with water.
Everyone is quietly hiding until a scream
would fill the air, “Pung, taya!” (meaning “I have found you!”). Sometimes, I would got scared of the dark
that I would have myself seen by the seeker or say, “andito ako!” (“I am here”)
so I could finally get out of the dark.
It doesn’t matter if I would be the next seeker, for sometimes it is
better to be the hunter, than the hunted.
Through our lives, we have been constantly
seeking for God - in the hope that we might feel Him and find Him. But we do not have to go far and look in the
darkness. If we can only open our
hearts, we can hear Him saying, “I am here”, yes, in our hearts. For in Him we live and move and have our
being.
We are now the children of light, having
been saved through our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Seek His mercy and be obedient to His words, totally ignoring the calls
of darkness. And there should always
this longing in our hearts for Him. For wouldn't
be complete unless He is with us, loving Him and being glad to have found
Him. We are the children of Light
now. Let Him shine brightly in our
hearts so others may get out of the dark.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, we realize that everything
in the world is meaningless unless we obey Your will. We can gain money
and possession, but they don't satisfy our needs. In our death, those will all fall away and
mean nothing. So, we look up to the
heavens as You call upon us, exclaiming, “Here I am.” Amen +
The LORD has done great things for us; Oh, how happy we were!
