A reflection from http://thejesuswalk.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/is-your-heart-ready-to-receive-him/ (adapted)
A man prayed to God and just wanted to ask a few things.
Man: God?
God: Yes?
Man: How long is a million years to you?
God: A minute.
Man: God?
God: Yes?
Man: How much is a million dollars to you?
God: A penny.
Man: God, can I have a penny then?
God: Sure. In a minute.
Our time and His time are different. Our comprehension does not keep up with His Way because He is so great. We never know what He has in store for us, or how it will all work out.
The Gospels speak about the Way, or making the Way for Jesus. We need to be eager for His coming. In the Advent season, we are to prepare ourselves, called to holiness, devotion (it can be any prayer or action of charity), and eager to be closer to God. In everything, we need to be conscious of what we do and put heart into it, lifting it up to God.
Are you ready?
