It's interesting how Jesus called His first disciples. They were just ordinary men, fishermen who had not caught any fish on that day. There was a reflection somewhere that mentioned this Gospel reading to highlight that we are also called to serve the Lord in our ordinary life. While the Gospel mentioned that His first disciples were fishermen, just like other ordinary people, it's quite intriguing that most of us have the mindset that "I must be A, B, C, .... Z to serve Lord. I'm nothing, I'm no one. In Singlish, 'Cannot lah Lord....How come you call me to do a great work??' "
Let's jump to the other reading, five loaves and two fish. This Gospel might be the most famous Gospel reading among Kindergarten kids. I still remember how to sing the Sunday School song about five loaves and two fish. Now that we think about it again, these five loaves and two fish are whatever we have with us now. It might be our little time, our little thought, our little energy, but somehow God is able to MULTIPLY them.
Here is the challenge for today.. Do you wanna give a little bit of you and let Lord use them and multiply them? No matter how small and how sometimes we feel unworthy to serve our Lord, he calls us every day. Perhaps for our situation, when we are stuck with our lecture readings? or when we just sit in the bus and look at the elderly? or when we have lunch with our friends? and suddenly 'Toeng," sometimes we feel there's something pop up in our mind, an inspiration, a calling to do little thing for God.
Have a nice Thursday :)
