What do I attach myself to?

We live in a time where we want to keep our options open, we don’t want to tie ourselves down through commitment. It seems that the big ideas in our culture, namely personal happiness, independence, multiple experiences and comfort, leads to life in full.

Jesus invites us to let our ideas of life go, and He promises us a wonderful life. If you grow to love Him, His ideas and what His life was about, you will decide to commit. Love is commitment. We think we want comfort and ease, but something in our being longs for someone and something greater, something better than ourselves which requires total sacrifice and commitment.

The psychiatrist and father of contemplative therapy, Gerald may, says, “All my life I have longed to say yes, to give myself completely, to some Ultimate Someone or Something.”

Reflection

You are invited to come into contact with the longing inside of you to surrender and commit, by speaking to God about it.

Grace

Lord, I ask for the grace to awaken to my life-work.
