Called To Give

When Jesus sent his apostles on their first mission, he commanded them to be lavish in giving of their time and gifts of healing.  "Cure everyone" summarizes his injunction  (cf. Mt 10: 7) as he reminded them:  "Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give." (Mt 10: 8),  We probably have considered what we might do if we had the gift of healing...Cure all....But few, if any of us are so blessed, but we do have our loving hearts and TIME that we can share willingly and joyfully. Our selfish streak might hold us back as we wonder when the demands for our presence will ever stop.  But reflecting on these words of Jesus, we will be able to take the leap into that unknown area of service, and find that he provides everything we need.
