"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.
