Do we know God’s will for our lives? In today’s first reading, although, we are reminded that we are made in the image of God, we see a glimpse of our true reactions towards Jesus. We were shown how cruel and negative we are to wards Jesus and how people ridiculed him for calling himself the Son of God. What is our true nature, our true intentions and our attitudes towards God? In the Gospel reading, we can sense the crowd’s uncertainty regarding the true identity of Jesus. There is confusion among the crowd about who Jesus really is. We also maybe confused about who Jesus really is based on what we think we know about him. We know where Jesus was born and where he lived but we fail to see his divine purpose and mission. In the same way, we may be unable to see God’s purpose for our lives and this maybe because we lack the relationship with Jesus. Let us ask God to open our eyes to see his greater plan for us as his sons and daughters.

PRAYER: Abba Father, give us wisdom and vision to have a deeper journey in seeking your purpose and will in our lives. Amen.
