1 Timothy 6:12a
"Compete well for the faith."
You ever look at a crucifix with Jesus on it? This is what it means to compete well for the faith. He left nothing behind, He didn't hold anything back, He left all of His self behind. He gave when it didn't make sense in human terms.
Do each of us truly give like Jesus did? Jesus doesn't ask us too, He just wants us to see what He sees and do something. Staying within the comfort of ones self isn't giving. Hanging on to your own selfish desires isn't competing. Lay hold of eternal life by giving.
Dear Lord God, I thank You for looking down from Heaven and giving each of us what we need. I thank You for speaking Your words of truth to my heart. May I see what you see and respond as you would respond. Do not let my heart become hardened by situations in this world. May I focus on You when I am in need and allow You to comfort me. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
