Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send
receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me

Its midnight in India as I type this reflection, much has transpired in this week…. from work deadlines to almost being stressed by the country being at war with its neighbor country of Pakistan… and having elected a new Pope!!!!

I kind of had my anxiety keep me on the edge and prayers were last on my mind. It is very hard to focus when I am constantly distracted about the world , my future and even past errors!

Today when Jesus talks about receiving others and Him and the father Almighty I realised , it would take me alot of effort of to even realise a messenger was sent by the Lord in todays world …

I want to be more approachable and appreciative of the work people have done especially those with faith and address my prayer life alot more ..

Its time to reset.

Amen

P.S. todays reflection is more of a sleep deprived reminder to myself
