I have appeared to you to designate you as my servant and as a witness to what you have seen of me and what you will see of me. - from the Acts of the Apostles.
Today we celebrate the feast of Paul the Apostle. Paul persecuted the followers of the way during his time until he was thrown from his mount by the power of God and blinded. In the event he heard Jesus call to him and ask him to stop persecuting Jesus. Each of us is called to a dramatic change in our own lives to take care of God's people. Once we find Christ, our lives must change to caring about others rather than ourselves. We begin to understand and continue to understand that this is not a life about me, me, me as our society would want us to believe. True happiness is not in the material things or having the most success, but being content with ourselves and our life and reaching out to others to share this knowledge. And this knowledge lies in the love of Jesus Christ. So be like Paul today and everyday. Go out on your journeys into this world not with eyes on what you can attain for yourself, but on what you can do to let others see and feel God's love. And the side benefit, you will be attaining the best things for yourself. Eternally.
- Peace.
