“Are you the one who is to come or should we look for another?” This question underlies some of our daily actions. When we choose to be worried or discouraged, we imply that the Lord Jesus has not won our battles. We act in doubt, fear and unbelief. Today we have a beautiful opportunity to re-decide our actions and thoughts. If we are Christians, let us strive to give the rightful place to Jesus in our lives. As Isaiah says in the first reading, the Lord alone forms everything. All our thoughts and feelings are known to him. Yet in our weakness sometimes we try to pretend in God’s presence. We try to use lengthy scripture quotations as if to teach God. We are children of God, and therefore let us be simple and honest before him. Let us try to become authentic disciples this Season of Advent. As we prepare for the second coming of Jesus, let us remember that each new day is a potential day of the Lord’s second coming. Are we ready? Or will we keep postponing? Let us hope that we will not be too late

Prayer: Abba Father, I eagerly wait for the Second Coming of your Son. Amen.
