Drawn into salvation
Thursday, 3rd week in Easter
Acts 8: 26-40; Jn 6: 44-51
No one can come to me except those whom the Father draws, declares Jesus. The Ethiopian court official was drawn to salvation by the Lord, without him asking for it. But there was a search in his heart that yielded its fruit. A sincere search for God takes us to God; we are drawn to God by the very yearning in our hearts. Like the deer that yearns for running streams my soul longs for you my Lord, prays the psalmist. All that is required is a sincerity of heart that does not give into pride or self justification but remains sensitive to every promptings from within and without. At times an experience within or a simple event around us can provide the spark that can lead to a total consumption by the fire called the love of God. And when that happens, we are drawn into salvation, even before we realise it to the full.
