Follow me... Do as I say!
>> Tuesday, December 16, 2008
It was one of the many Retreats I've attended, and we had this activity where I was blindfolded. Then my, assigned partner took me around, told me what to do and pulled me all around the room.
When it was my turn to blindfold my partner, I became naughty. I took him outside, on rough roads, rocky paths, muddy streets and humpy floors! All the while, my partner was telling me that he didn't trust me. So I tried to explain and consoled him, telling him not to worry even if the roads were bad - because I'll never allow him to get hurt. We ended the activity with so much lightness in our feeling.
When I joined the Catholic groups, it was as though I was blindfolded too. My friends teased me. My problems are still there and worries and frustrations kept flowing in my life. It was pretty dark and I could barely see what was in store for me.
But it was God were telling me, "I'm holding you, don't be afraid, have no worries. Just follow Me. Do as I say. Everything is dark for you now, but you'll have to trust me - you'll see light forever for I will never allow you to get hurt.
Let me listen when You're asking me to follow oh Lord and grant me the courage to follow You in the darkness!
