Monthly Reflection by George Calleja - January 2014 - 'The desire for God'
The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created
by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God
will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for.....(source: the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Chapter
1.I.27).
This is the continuous search that people
throughout their life do....the search for God....the desire to know Him.
Through Jesus, the Son of God, we are able to get closer to God....to have this
personal relationship with Him.
But where can we find God? Where is God in
today’s world? How can we fulfil our desire for God?
We can meet Jesus in every moment of our
lives. Jesus can be met in the poor person, the prisoner, the beggar, in any of
our neighbour. In every person Jesus draws us closer to God, because in that
person there is Jesus, and if we love that person we are loving Jesus, and by
loving Jesus....He draws us closer to God.
So rejoice, because in every person you
meet, you have the opportunity to meet Jesus, that in turn will draw you closer
to God.
Your desire for God, depends a lot by
loving your neighbour!
