Mark 3:13-14
Jesus went up
the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him. He appointed Twelve, whom he also named
Apostles, that they might be with him…
The phone rings. It is the boss… and so we readily take the
call, though sometimes, we are reluctant to do so.
The celphone rings.
It is the wife… and so we readily take the call, so there would be no
more discussions later when you failed to do so.
The Lord calls on you.
You turned a deaf ear. He called
again, but you are very busy. Then, He
called again, “nahh, maybe next time”.
But when you fell into a pit or suffered a big blow in
your life, you would like Him to respond as soon as possible… immediately… at
an instant! And when you feel He is not
responding, you would rebel against Him more.
My friend, He is calling on you today. In fact, He has been calling on You since You
were born. And what does he want? He simply wants you to live a life of total
commitment to His Word and the principles He stands for – love, life and
letting go.
All you have to do is drop everything and
respond that call. But be ready, for
that will not be a walk in the park.
For true discipleship is found where people
are hurting, where people are hungry, where people are oppressed, where people
are denied justice, where people are dying.
Answer His call, His Word is life. Talk to Him, He is offering His love. Follow Him, and be ready to let go of all the
hurts and sufferings.
Let us pray +
Almighty
Father, let me respond to your
call. I do know that it would be a very
difficult life, but I can always look at it with happiness in my heart. For serving you is the sweetest thing there
is. Amen +
Kindness and truth shall meet.
