A FAITH DISCLOSED
Will we pick lemons from an apple tree?
TODAY we are the face of God in the midst of this
society. One day in the congregation a woman approached me with a complaint and
it was this: "I have never seen God." At that precise moment and
guided by the Spirit of Christ, I led this girl to the bathroom. There with
great respect and care, I placed him in front of the mirror. I started with a
simple question: can you see God now? He logically told me that no, that
whoever was watching would never come close to the concept we have of God. Ok,
I replied. Could you smile and look at yourself again, I replied. She did it.
Now you know that it is you and that you are smiling because you are observing
yourself in the mirror, but when you are not in front of a mirror, who assures
you that your smile causes the friendly effect that it should produce? Okay,
now you can spread your hands as if to give something to your reflection in the
mirror, I said. And she without question, she did. And I asked him: What face
are you making now? She replied that it was one of satisfaction. To which I
answered again: Are you sure that you always have that same face in front of
the people around you? And who assures you that you manage to convey the
feeling of well-being with your smile when you are blessing others? No one
answered myself. Well, in the same way, and even if we don't want to, the only
solution for our lives is to see God in each of the people around us. In the
same way, the only guarantee we have that we are doing the right thing to bless
others, and this will be through the power of the Holy Spirit acting in us and
for us. In this way, we will know that we are allowing him to work in us to
produce in others the necessary changes in each of their lives.
"TO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE IN ROME, BELOVED BY
GOD, CALLED TO BE SAINTS: GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU, FROM GOD OUR FATHER AND FROM
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST."
Romans 1. 7
All Christians are called to be holy and to manifest the power of God
through his Holy Spirit. But just like the sister that I had to teach him, we
are the ones who limit the power of God and we do not stop, nor can we see it
in ourselves, nor do we see it in others. One of the obstacles that we find
here is with the concept that we have about holiness. For some it is a goal to
discharge that is simply impossible to meet. Therefore, they abandon the Path
because they are not able to continue in that supposed holiness. For others it
is supposedly a goal already achieved that they want all human beings to follow.
But as far as I can understand, both concepts are wrong. Holiness can only be
had by God. Therefore, we can only live holiness when God lives it for us.
Another matter is being set apart for him.
"FIRST I THANK MY GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF YOU, THAT YOUR FAITH IS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD."
Romans 1. 8
But our faith can characterize us. Surely, on the subject of holiness,
which we have already lost a long time ago; I the first will leave much to be
desired in the others. But by our faith, by means of which if we approach to
live in such a way that God is the one who sanctifies us and we will become
holy. Our faith must be such that it is an example for all those who are
seeking God. They may not know us for our holiness, but nothing stops us from
being recognised for our faith and love for God and the extension of the
Kingdom of Christ.
God bless you.
