A father gave his son an important notebook and told him to read it. The son took the book, placed it on the table and did not read it. A few months later the father died. The son carried on with his life. He struggled in his life and now he has come to a stage where he too is old and sickly. It was at this moment that he remembered the notebook given to him by his father. He took the notebook and began to read. Much to his surprise, his father has left him details of his will. He regretted not reading it earlier when the father passed it to him.
Likewise, my dear friends in Christ, God the Father has left us a will, which was written in the Bible and in the Traditions of the Church. Only when we read them, then will we know the Father’s will for us, which is Eternal Life. But what is Eternal life? It is to be with God forever and ever. St Paul tells us today in 2 Thessalonians, that God chose you as first fruits to be saved by the sanctifying Spirit and faith in the Truth……St Paul went on to say, It is through the GOOD NEWS that God called you to share in the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
So my dear friends don’t wait until you are “old and sickly” before you respond to His will, for you will end up regretting. Start reading the NOTEBOOK now. God Bless you.
