16th Jan., 2014: Inspirations from Today’s Gospel (Mk. 1:40-45)
The leper in the Gospel reading
believed he could be healed and so approached Jesus with faith. He may have
entertained some initial fears going to Jesus because the Law prohibits them
from appearing in public. But he was courageous to take the bold step of approaching
Christ and at the end of the day, his story never remained the same. He thought
within himself “I can be healed” and thought of Christ “He can heal me” and his
optimism brought him healing.
Today, you may be confronted with
several challenges. What is your disposition towards them? Are you always
optimistic? Do you explore every opportunity set before you or do you conclude “this
may not work out well”. Never be pessimistic in life. Let the Gospel reading inspire
you to be optimistic and always try to take the required bold step. It could be
going back to studies, it could be abandoning a relationship which is not beneficial to you, it
could be making a request for help, etc. It is better to fail than never to
attempt a solution. You might be lucky. May Jesus always give you the courage
to seek that which your heart desires and may you find it today. Good morning
and Happy Thursday.
