The invited were not worthy ...
How many times have
I been invited to the feast, the Holy Eucharist? How many times Lord has sent
me His servants with an invitation? I always found some kind of excuses......?
It was usually something more important to do, I was tired, I had no time or
simply I did not want to accept the invitation... For the repeated invitations
I reacted with growing impatience, I explained to others and to myself, that
after all I am a free man, that I had time later at the older age, that God doesn’t
coerce me ... and so on, etc..
Do I realize Whom
I continually refuse? Constantly finding excuses do I really choose what is
better, what is more important, what is more valuable...? Do I realize that
eventually I will not be invited to the most important feast in eternity, or
maybe I will become regarded as unworthy and kicked out?
God does not get
tired repeating invitations, but when continually ignored, He will certainly not
force anyone. I decide whether to accept the invitation or reject and
ultimately I should not blame anyone when I don't find myself among the
feasting in the Kingdom of Heaven. I will be the only responsible for it, constantly
rejecting invitations- I will condemn myself for the "weeping and gnashing of teeth."
How long can I
ignore the invitation of God...?
God constantly
invites me.
Why do I constantly
underestimate him?
