In both my hands, I hold five stones,
faith, hope, dream and peace but on one of my hands I hold Love and Love is
different. My son reminded me that love is the most important stone and I would
have to agree. This week’s gospel and readings, talk about rejection, believing
in the beauty and strength of the chief corner stone who is Jesus Christ and he is love. We
too are like the chief corner stone, not perfect but we are beautiful, strong
and sometimes, we hope and trust for someone to believe in us, to believe in
our very existence and to love us, like he loved us.
What does it mean to believe?
To believe we are accepting something
that is true, we have faith and walk and live our lives with confidence and
trust. Jesus says; “I am the way, the truth and the life.” I guess my question
is why should I believe him? Well, he is the way; the only way because he was
chosen by God, he was the only one to have come down from heaven and returned
there, he is the only sacrifice for sin, he alone fulfilled the laws of the
prophets, he is the only man to have conquered death and he is the only
mediator between God and man. Still, why is Jesus the truth? The truth is
simple, it’s our choice, it’s our attitude, and the truth is a way of being, a
journey, process, spirituality, and a relationship with God through Christ, who
is the way for us to see the world as God sees it. If we don’t love the truth,
if we resist it, we resist salvation and all the incredible blessings that flow
from God. Leaves me with one more question; why is Jesus life? I truly believe,
we come alive when we come to have faith in Christ, in something that is bigger
than any of us could ever imagine and I guess it’s true if we want to know God,
we must go through Jesus Christ first.
So, no matter how many times, they
stumble, walk all over you, and neglect you. Know this, our chief cornerstone,
who is precious, beyond and undeniably magnificent, we can too feel and
be this way, the truth and life for our families, friends and all those who
come and go from our life. “Christ alone, weak made strong in the
savior’s love through the storm, he is Lord of all.” Author Unknown
I do like that quote, for in our own
weakness we are made strong by our savior’s love, strength, courage, goodness
or is it by our faith, hopes and the peace we seek. Whichever it may be, Jesus
is the only way to the Father, it is up to us to follow, allowing him to lead
the way, it is up to us to trust and to have confidence in the word of God and
it’s up to us, to learn how to rely and respond more to his presence because
God is not past nor future, for he his present, present in this moment with us.
In one of my hands I hold five stones,
faith, hope, dream, peace and the greatest of all love. Do you believe me?
May God Bless Always
