Seek the Lord More Actively

Let us seek the Lord in a more active way, and let us not become accustomed to His presence

If there is one thing I do not like about people is the accommodation in which people stand in their comfort zone. These days, I experienced a situation in my work, which led me to reflect on this: where am I accommodated in my relationship with God? Where did I park because I thought I was ok?Where did I stop growing because I simply gave in to my own self-indulgence?

My brothers and sisters, just as in our professional life, we must always be refreshing ourselves in our spiritual life as well. We must always ask God for the grace of newness, to grow, to fight, not to accommodate ourselves. We need to take steps! Making a parallel with the human body, if we do not walk, our body becomes tired; In the same way, if we do not walk on the road with God, we are getting discouraged and tired.

Let us return today to seek the Lord more actively, and not to become used to His presence.God is always a novelty!

Your His brother,
