Being on the Road is as Important as Arriving God travels with any one on his way towards destiny. I may dare to call this destiny as our ultimate goal. Have you herd of people who have not an ultimate goal. Every one possesses it whether they admit it or not! There are people in the world, who have lost even their hope in God, desperate and despondent…! They live a life without dreams, or may be their dreams are without life! Many persons compared life to a journey. Even Jesus visualizes his life as a journey towards his Father. Otherwise, he means to say that his life itself is the way to the Father. Jesus says “I am the life”. I think, to understand better what is life, Jesus must help us.
Let me share with you, one of my reflection one of this topic. “Life as sharing”. Did I discourage you, who have made many an almsgiving. Friends, the noble notion of sharing I have in mind is not a one way giving, but the magic of two way gaining. “Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you”. If sharing was a sad thing, God would have been the greatest sad person in the world. Because our human brain cannot conceive how much God share with us. ’He spared His own Son to save the world’. Jesus spares His own life for the salvation of the world. The wonder of sharing is, you gain thousand times more than you give. “It is a crazy arithmetic”. This magic formed a thousands of saints for the Church, and a thousand genuine hearts to the world. St. Augustine said, “Nemo dat quod non habeth”. You cannot give today, you cannot spare your thinking of a total giving! Why? Because there is a need to fill us with sharable stuffs before we start giving. Jesus said “I am meek and humble of heart, those you who are thirsty come and drink”. Friends we cannot fill something which is already full, but we need to empty first, look at what Jesus says “the wise man sells all what he has to purchase a land hidden with a treasure”. Here shall we begin our lives ones again, here do we start our journey, looking at and fixing our eyes to the mountain. Let us not waver, because being on the road is as important as arriving. |
