“What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?"

“What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?"

I did not understand the gospel until I read the first reading. We should seek the Kingdom of God because it is there where we will be able to achieve the growth that we seek.

In my 24 years of life, I have always been seeking knowledge and power. I was grateful that when I was 15, I have already found it and commited myself to God. But through the years, I have grown complacent in my faith to God. And during those times that I was complacent, I have found myself drifting away from God. That place was scary and I don't want to go back to that state again. I am very grateful that the Lord never gave up on me.

Lord, I am very grateful that You have taken time to save me from myself, from the complacency that I have experienced. I really don't want to go back to that state wherein I feel like I don't know You anymore. I am sorry that I let this happen to me.

I know that You know my heart. I may not say the things I want to say, but I trust that You know my heart and my unspoken prayer. Please always guide me Lord and always remind me taht I cannot do it without You and that being away from You is a scary place.

Amen.
