To Infinity And Beyond!
Our faith is a continuous growing plant that needs constant care and guidance. This Sunday’s gospel reflects our growth as we continue on in life. We are servants of the Lord, and to be a good servant is to obey.
In today’s society, it is hard to keep track of your spiritual growth. To believe that there is a pre-ordained plan for you is hard, but people nowadays have an even harder time in accepting the harsh realities of it. True enough, some of the most successful people in pop culture today have been a testament to this fate. They went to all the wrongs before they fully made it big. God made you go through all the downs first for you to fully appreciate the gift he’s going to give you at the end. I remember watching Kung Fu Panda a few years back, and Oogway told Po something that really struck me. “You are too concerned about what was and what will be, There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the ‘present’.” Like an obedient servant, you have to fully trust your master. He might give me a gift that I never thought I would get, but He will give it to me because He knows that I deserve it. I just have faith in Him to infinity and beyond.
It’s hard to admit, but to keep my faith strong isn’t a smooth bike ride. I have to keep my fire burning continuously. Spiritual growth takes a lot of time, but come to think of it... I have so much time in a day; I think I could spend fifteen minutes talking to Him. If I have times of trouble and weakness, I just have to believe that He has a plan for me. That plan involves that time of weakness.
In short, I have to believe. I have to believe and trust Him. It will not be easy, why? God gave us the gift of freedom. Some people misinterpret that as a reason to not have faith in Him. He is the way, the truth, and the life. When everything fades away, He’s the only one we could turn to. Thus, faith is a gigantic factor in our spiritual growth. I’ll keep my faith alive as long as I shall live. My spirit will grow forever in his infinite love.
