Have you ever been so happy that you cannot contain your joy? This is not the euphoric feeling we experience at parties or concerts, dancing the night away and singing at the top of our voices. This is the joy that comes from realizing that God keeps His promises, no matter how unworthy we may be.
Today's Gospel speaks of God’s plan and promise. Yes, God has a beautiful plan for each of us. If we trust Him and cooperate with His plan, we will witness it unfold before our eyes. This is His promise: salvation from enemies, redemption from danger, and freedom to serve Him.
Often, however, we fail to align our plans with God’s. We pray, yet we insist on our own ways. We take matters into our own hands. We say we trust God, but we live life on our terms and conditions. This is why, despite our efforts and achievements, there is still an emptiness in our hearts, and true joy remains elusive.
May we find true joy by aligning our plans with God’s. May we also have the patience to wait for the unfolding of His promise.
A Call to Action for Catholic Living: Trust in God's plan, align your life with His will, and embrace the true joy that comes from His unwavering promises.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
