"What must I do?" Many times I find myself in the same situation as the prison guard of Paul and Silas asking the same question, "What must I do to be saved?"
How funny that the prisoners were Paul and Silas but it turned out that after the earthquake shook the prison, it was the guard who was the one really "imprisoned" - just like me in the many times I have been busy "guarding" and "keeping" things around me I believe keep order; there are times I find myself so imprisoned to my duties and responsibilities, fears and apprehensions, endless concerns and worries that I could no longer find myself, my family, my friends, and even God.
What must I do, Jesus?
Help me find my way back home to you, Jesus. Amen.
