NO IS NOT REJECTION

21ST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME



NO IS NOT REJECTION

Dearest child you asked someone for assistance, and favour
and you are rejected.  Some people who promised to help you
may avoid you, some may laugh at you others may judge you,
it could be outright rejection.

Don’t you know dearest child of God that whoever that says no to you
saw something great in you that you could not see.
Dearest child you do not know your worth,
for if you do,  you will be grateful to that man or woman
who rejects you by saying no to you.
Must you settle for second best?
Your Heavenly Father sees your worth,
That is the reason for your being rejected.

Dearest child, the favour you ask for from men;
is it what you really desire? Or you need a soft landing?
Your Father God, know you through and through.
Be patient, be calm, while waiting on Him.
It won’t be long.
For us human, while we wait, it seems very long.


Your Father is preparing you for the plan HE has for you.
Let HIM do HIS work as the Potter, while you are the clay.
Wait, be patient, be calm, hold on to him while HE mould you.

At HIS appointed time when HE would have completed HIS
design, his beautifying you, then you will be okay for acceptance.
Hold on to HIM. HE will not fail you, He is ever faithful, and true.
HIS YES is the final word.                                         by  HING

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter  'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading  Acts 6:1-7  They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide -   ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1  'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28  I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
