SUBMITTING OURSELVES TO GOD

When Jesus defined God’s family He said “Anyone who does the will of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother,” (MK 3:35).

Are we part of our family? Jesus affirmed those who submitted to the will of God are His family. Those who submit to the will of God are accepted into the family of God, the Church. God’s family cares for one another in tough times and stays together and celebrates together as a Body of Christ. What a great privilege to be part of God’s family.

Most of us talk a lot about finding God’s will in their lives. God is still speaking, but the most prominent way God speaks to us today is through His Word. As we immerse ourselves daily in God’s Word, He will use it to speak to us.

As we get into God’s Word, we get to know God so intimately that He can guide us with His Holy Spirit. Life’s greatest family is the Church. Are we involved in the Church where you can say, “We are family?” Life’s greatest objective is to do God’s Will. We won’t know God’s will unless we are willing to submit ourselves to Him.

Mother Mary, make my heart only for Jesus.
