Reflection of the Sunday Readings, October 3, 2010 - 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time

How many times do we want to give up when things are hard? Too many times. Being a Christian is definitely not easy these days. But God has never failed us. We have to recognize that in our lives. "God will not give you anything that you cannot handle, He know that you are strong enough to get through it" The second reading, St. Paul reminds us that God did not give us a "spirit of cowardice". We won't have a day off from being a Christian and there are days that going be hard. Remember that as a Christian is it our duty to serve one another. Not to gain praise or reward from someone. And we don't serve because we promised God we would do so. We serve because of the promise that God gave to us. It's not what you are doing, it is who you are doing it for.
