Wednesday of week 29 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Romans 6:12-18
“you should make every part of your body into a weapon fighting on the side of God”. This explains the reason for having the grace of God. The grace of God helps us to make everything in us to be an instrument of God’s plan. What we have, our talents, our capacities, everything must be instruments of God’s plan. We must not let our selfishness use our talents or our capacities. When we let that happen in us, our talents and capacities will become an unholy weapon inside us fighting against us. Whereas, when we become instrument of God’s grace, we let ourselves living in the life of Jesus Christ. We will be freed from the slavery of our selfishness, and we become servants of the love of God. So, let us make sure that all we have, and what we are, are at the service of God’s grace. Let’s reflect: Am I willfully trying to make everything in me, an instrument of God’s grace?
