Trust in the Lord and Others
Anyone who fears God and does what is pleasing to God is accepted in the sight of God. We are fortunate that we are Christians in India. God loves us so he gave us human vocation and then Christian vocation. So, we are indebted to him. It does not matter to which nationality one belongs but the blessed are who belongs to Jesus. Jesus is the Saviour of the world. Peter was sent by God to Cornelius to speak of Jesus. Cornelius was a Roman centurion of the Italian cohort stationed in Caesarea. He and his household believe in Jesus and receive the Spirit of God.
Today we keep the
solemnity of St Thomas the Apostle of India. He was known as doubting Thomas. We
do mistrust people. Mistrust is the way to trust or grow in trust. St Thomas
did not believe in the risen Jesus but when Jesus showed him his wounds, he
believed and came out with a great saying ‘My Lord and my God’. We need to learn to
trust people. Growing in faith and living healthy would mean trusting oneself and
others. Give up the doubt about others and oneself and trust in God.
Do I trust in God and
others?
St Thomas Ap. Of India
