THE REALITY
THE REALITY
Today’s Reading: Ephesians 3:14-19 Version NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+3%3A14-19&version=NIV

They married! Now they are living in the same house; now they show each other as they really are. Before marriage, they were careful on how they dressed, well combed hair, face makeup; everything was said and done with courtesy, attention and affection. Love and romance flowed everywhere!

Now they are married, however, not always well dressed, or well groomed. Now they do not always show a smile on their lips, they show their ailments, signs of ageing, love and romance disappear as if by magic.

The reality of marriage places us face to face with the loved one, as he or she is not as we had thought it was. This is where love is tested. We need true love, able to defeat our selfishness and make us think about the person we have on our side. True love is the one we receive from Jesus Christ. He showed us his love, giving his own life for us. With the love of Christ in our hearts we can defeat personal interests and begin to consider the interests of the other person, desiring their welfare, and happiness. That’s the reality.

What is Your Interest
Reading Today: Matthew 5:13-16
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:13-16

Wars, robberies, murders and other crimes are the cruel and inhuman side of people. Think about it, humans, being inhuman! However, there is another side to the coin. One of the mysteries of man is his desire to be interested in his fellow man and take care of him.

There are people sending help to other people in need in other parts of the world. They want, thereby to alleviating hunger, cure diseases, help those in their time of need and often in catastrophic circumstances.

Jesus told His disciples that they were the salt of the earth and light of the world. This brings a special responsibility over Christians; to take care of others. The gift of caring for others comes from God and reflects his will.

Jesus transmits the power of the energy that transforms a selfish humanity with no regard for others and cruel, in people who are genuinely interested in his fellow man, interest that leads to action.

The true disciple of Christ lives to serve. This is natural in life, where selfishness was defeated by the grace and love of Christ.

What is your interest?
