BROKEN BY JESUS
Luke 8: 4-15
Going around the slum area in Bangkok, I find the beautiful thing to reflect. One day, we visited one family. The Father sleeps on the floor, based on a simple mattress. He doesn't want to change his clothes. Really, he is angry when we change it. My friend told me that he did not want to change the bed. Before, he slept on the trash. I can say that this attitude is like a rock that so difficult to break, to destruct.
Sometimes, facing the Word of God, our heart is like a rock, a stone. I myself feel it many times. I listen to it but I don’t want enter more deeply in the close relationship with the Word, with Jesus our Lord. So, this Word of God is like one or one things that pass by in my daily life. Today's Gospel reminds me, reminds us that only God can change our heart. He can break our rocky-heart and gives us new open-heart that ready to receive the Word of God.
Today, I pray so that we can let God breaks our rocky-heart and then we receive His Word. Receiving it means we walk with Him in our daily life.
