2nd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Here I Am Lord

God calls us in many different ways and at many different times in our lives.

He calls us through prayer, through our neighbor and through strangers.

He calls us not only when we are on our knees in church, but when we are doing the dishes, driving the car or even sleeping.

And when God calls how many of us say “Here I am!” ?

How many of us say “What do you want?”

And how many just do not answer?

I believe that God calls only those who will answer.

God is no fool, and while all time and ages belong to Him, He does not like to waste time anymore than we do.

God knows who will do the work.

He knows who will make the sacrifices.

He knows who will lay down their lives.

And these are the ones He calls.

If we do not hear God’s voice,

Is it because God is not calling us

Or because God knows that if He did call us, we wouldn’t answer

So why bother?

When was the last time we said to the Lord,

“Here I am Lord.”

Whatever You want;

Whenever You want;

However You want.

No Questions;

No Conditions;

No Hesitation.

If you want to surprise the Lord just say,

“Here I am Lord, I come to do Your Will,”

Because He doesn’t really hear that too often!!

God Bless
