Reflection on Today's Gospel (Mark 10:17-27)
|
|
Those who are liberal
towards God and towards their neighbor find that they cannot out-give God in
his generosity towards us. God blesses us with the precious treasures of his
kingdom – freedom from fear and the griping control of sin, selfishness and
pride which block his love and elegance in our lives; freedom from
loneliness, separation and rejection which keep his children from living
together in love, peace, and harmony; and freedom from hopelessness, despair,
and disillusionment which blind our vision of God's power to heal every hurt,
bind every wound, and remove every mark which ruin the image of God within
us. God offers us treasure which with cash cannot buy. He alone can truly
satisfy the deepest wish and desires of our heart. Are we willing to part with
no matter which might keep us from seeking true joy with Jesus?
