John 1: 29-34
In today’s reading,cited above, John proclaims with certainty that Jesus is the Lamb of God, the Chosen One. Without even knowing Him, John recognized the power of Jesus and placed all of his trust in Him.
I have found that such certainty in God is not always as easy as John makes it seem. Haven't some of you seen your own faith shaken at times, uncertain that God truly has a plan for you -- uncertain that that the struggles you face have a purpose? Yet I have found that these moments of confusion, of self-doubt, call me to deepen my relationship with God, to place even greater trust in the Lord.
As 2013 begins and we take time for self reflection, making resolutions to spend more time at the gym and less on our iPhones, we should also take the time to reflect on our own relationship with God and determine how we can develop as a person of even greater faith. Let us recognize all of the workings of God’s love in our lives.
