His Word Today: Gifted

Good morning everyone,

Have you had the experience of someone who recognizes a talent of yours, or perhaps someone recognizes something that is a hidden gift of yours? Sometimes we're not even aware of the ways in which we have been gifted, or the talents that we possess until someone else points out these blessings for us.

This is the case in the gospel passage that is proposed for today's thought and prayer.  People in the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida and even Capharnaüm were unaware of the great gift that was given to them:  Jesus Christ, the son of God was passing through their midst and they were not paying any attention to him (cf Lk 10:13, 15).

Our God is constantly trying to communicate with us. Sometimes these attempts take place during the ordinary circumstances of daily life. Sometimes they are to be found in surprising situations where we would least expect to find Him. Be on the lookout today, listen carefully today.  And if you should encounter a precious moment or an experience of God, stop for just a moment and say thank you.

Have a great day.
