It's just a matter of time

TIME is something we humans cannot fully grasp. Some of us think that time is always running out. Others think that time is something that is free. Busy people think that time is gold. Time is something as abstract as space. It has been existing but we don’t know when and how it began. We also don’t know if it will end and how will it end.
We are never exact. Even around the world, time always vary. Time zones are different. There is no exact or absolute time for humans. There is always approximation. There is always imperfection when man tries to fully grasp time.
But how is time related to our humanity. Time is something we cannot grasp and that is why we people are the one adjusting to it. In order to make it on time to work, we wake up early. In order to make time for our loved ones, we take our leave from our hustle and bustle of routine at work.
Because of the perfection of time and our imperfection as humans, God is calling us this Sunday to learn how to trust in Him. The gap between time and our humanity is always big but God is always there to be the bridge in this gap. God knows the right time for everything.
With His trust we are also called to be trustworthy servants of God. In the Gospel, Jesus told his disciples of a parable of a servant who waits and anticipates for the return of his master from a wedding. Jesus said that blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival.
We are the servants of God and we are all called to be hopeful to the return of Jesus Christ, our Savior. He entrusted us with His Church and guided us with his Holy Spirit. As we prepare for the coming of the Lord, let us all strive to become trustworthy servants of the Lord by continuing to love one another, living the values that Jesus taught us, and becoming faithful to the Lord.
In this we pray, A Prayer for being Trustworthy
Father, we don’t want to proclaim our own loyalty, but we give glory to You, when others testify of our loyalty, our trustworthiness, our dependability. Your Scripture teaches us to be people who are honest and dependable, who do to others as we would have them do to us. Living among such people makes day to day living so much more enjoyable, relationships more trustworthy, and dealings with those who do business a more fair and pleasant experience. You “detest lying lips but delight in people who are trustworthy”. We want to bring delight to You today and always, and we can do so by being people who are trustworthy. Through Christ Jesus we pray. Amen.
Have a blessed week ahead, Artlets!
