When we are alone and pray, many thoughts
come to our minds. We also realize that we are surrounded by people. Their needs
and problems accompany us while we are with God.
Jesus Christ knows how to find a balance
between talking with the Father and his disciples. However, for us, it is very
difficult to divide time for spiritual and earthly matters. For that
reason, when we are to pray, we think about our tasks and problems. And when we
are going to work, we are not able to focus properly.
Jesus wants us to ask ourselves and answer
some important questions. The most important – who Jesus Christ is for you.
Probably, you’ve already heard many answers. Probably, you’ve already answered
using your mind. But the answer should arise from your heart. You are to respond
with love.
Jesus always tries to ask if you love
him with your whole heart and mind. And he is waiting for your answer. Because it is the question about your love towards the Son of God, you cannot find the
answer in books or in other places.
Talking with God is something personal and
consequently, it is not easy to share with others. Nonetheless, we should try to
express our love with human words. We don’t need to tell everyone about our spiritual
experience, but we are invited to encourage one another.
We are to love Jesus Christ who died on
the cross for our salvation. Thus, we will be able to overcome all the
difficulties, struggles, and problems that we encounter. O Lord Jesus, the Son
of God, help us understand and love God forever and ever. Amen.
