After playing badminton this afternoon, I watered the plants. While watering the plants, my friend asked me, “Why are you watering the plants?” I told her that the plants need water, especially during this dry season. Some plants cannot live anymore. But, since I watered it some days ago, little by little the sign of hope comes out. The leaf started to be green. It means that the plants are still alive. I cannot explain how it happens, but I believe that the Creator makes it live again.
Like those plants, we also need to be born again. Having the newborn from above like Jesus told Nicodemus. The change in our life must come from above. Jesus has shown us already, how He suffers, but in the end, receives the resurrection from the Father. We learn from Jesus to make the changing in our daily life. If we want to be born again, just learn from Him. We can evaluate our habits by comparing them with Jesus’ life. Using His way of life, we can interrogate in our daily life.
We can ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. With only our force, we cannot do it. The Holy Spirit can help us by opening our hearts to listen to Him. When we read the Gospel, we try to listen to the word that Jesus uses. Little by little, we can be aware of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Even many times, we don’t know how it works. Just becoming the plants that need the water. The change comes out without knowing it very well. Have a nice day.
