In my life, I encounter so many people walking with Jesus from their hearts. And I'm talking about the people in this world who can really make a difference. These are the kind of people that serve & love our dearest God from their hearts. And when you get a chance to witness them serving in Ministry, you really do see the real person of Jesus in them. And if you get a chance to hear their sharings, you are just so sure that there is something so special about them. And you know that these are the kind of people that God has set out to achieve Greatness in this world because of our Lord Jesus! You know that it is solely because of Jesus that these people are set apart from everyone else to be great in this world. But nevertheless, these people go through the same kind of struggles as each and every one of us. They are surely not spared of the pains of walking with God!
But the question I think many of us might ask, "Does that mean we are not meant to be great in this world just ike them?" But I think we are always called to be great and God always gives us that opportunity to embrace that calling, but I guess as all of us still do belong to this world for now, we don't live up to that Calling of being great. But the 'Special Ones' answer & embraces that opportunity to be Great in this world.
An example would be how John the Baptist is set apart because he chose to make way for Jesus to take his role as the Saviour of the world. I could only imagine the amount of work John the Baptist had done before Jesus came in. But John the Baptist knew that his calling for Greatness had came to a close when Jesus came into the Picture!
But although I meet so many people of God who have that ability to be great, there are so few people that actually make it to the end. And as I was reflecting on this, I realised how sad God would be. He provides for all of us to be Great, but in the end so few of us make it to complete our Journey towards Greatness with God in this world. And the 2 names that come to my mind on the people that lasted through their Journey towards Greatness with God in this world is our Late Pope John Paul II as well as Blessed Mother Theresa. And it would probably make you a canonised Saint if you actually last that Journey to Greatness with God in this world!
May we look to them and our Lord Jesus to be Great in this world! Then others will know that We are Great because of Jesus! Jesus always makes us look Good!
Praise God!
