“Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.” – Mother Teresa
There are times when we wonder where God could we found. Could we really love Him even if we do not see Him? Where could we possibly find Him?
We can look for Jesus in money and we won’t find Him there. We can look for Jesus in success and we won’t find Him there. We can look for Jesus in pleasure and we won’t find Him there.
But try to fix your gaze elsewhere. Look for Him among the humble and among the poor. Look for Him among those who are children at heart. Look for Him among those who are sick and helpless. Look for Him among those who are yearning to be loved.
Suddenly, you are not alone anymore. You are not trapped within yourself anymore. You realize that you can give something. Your life matters. Jesus waits for you, and you can finally touch His face.
Then the King will tell those on his right hand, “Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.” – Matthew 25:34-36, WEB
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
