GENEROUS GOD!

The Parable we have today for our reflection is a glimpse of the goodness and generosity of God. God’s doing and man’s thinking are totally unequal and are so much at odds, that man is even prepared for an assault. Generosity lies less in giving much than in giving at the right moment. God’s sending of his Son was nothing but his giving everything, and at the right time. The man Jesus, spoke and acted in such a way that people who looked at what he did and listened to what he said, discovered who God really was. In other words, Jesus did not simply talk about God or point to him; he made God present and he made God real. Without him, God would have been, at best, only the object of our hope and longing. But because of him, God is present today with us in person.

Jesus wants nothing for himself, but everything he has and he does is for others. Everyone is for him, the object of God’s love and the recipient of God’s generosity; even the misfits. Today, we have to ask ourselves if we have be open to this generous love and generous God.

Prayer: Help me Lord, to recognize your generosity so that I may be generous. Amen.
