It's a new year and a new liturgical season, so it's a great time to ponder the big questions: where am I going and what am I doing here? This past Sunday's gospel (John 1:35- 42) touched on these questions when John, Andrew and Peter began to follow Jesus. In other Gospels Jesus calls the disciples, "Come, follow me," but in John's Gospel these three disciples just started to follow Jesus as though they were compelled to be with Him. Their hearts and souls recognized Jesus as God and Savior.
"I'm going with Jesus and I'm doing God's work." WGooouldn't it be wonderful to be able to give these answers simply and boldly? Since most of us are not privileged to be able to directly converse with God, the best we can do is read the Bible, pray for guidance, and consult trusted advisors. If we diligently do these things and listen for God's "still, small voice" in our hearts and souls, then it will be a good year indeed.
