In everyday life we cannot be
separated from relationships. We meet people everywhere. We meet our husbands,
wives, children at home. We meet people on the bus. We meet other people at
work, in supermarkets or virtually by internet. We often make small talks or
show our concern for people we don't know.
Our reading today also wants to
go deeper into explaining that our interactions with other people are something
very valuable. Paul says in Verse 5,"... take advantage of the available
time" or make the most of every opportunity. We show our faith in our
interactions. It is God's time. We consider God's time as not just a
meaningless interaction.
How can we show in our daily lives that we are faithful followers of Christ? That knowledge of God is not only a recognition of some dogma but also a practice in reality of life? Paul advises us that in our daily lives we are fair and honest; pray and give thanks; pray for others; live full of wisdom and have words filled with love. Let us use the available time to be salt and light to others.
