WHO YOU’RE MEANT TO BE
Bible: Romans 12:1-2, 9-18
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s
mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice (V.1).
Reading
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” Quoting those words of St. Catherine of Siena, the Bishop began his message to Prince William and Kate Middleton at their wedding in Westminster Abbey. Many watching on TV were deeply impacted as the bishop spoke of their choice “to be married in the sight of a generous God who so loved the world that He gave Himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ.” Then he told the couple to have a love that finds its strength beyond themselves.
From Romans 12, the bride’s brother read: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect” (VV.1-2 NRSV).
That royal wedding reminded everyone watching, single or married, of two great truths: (1) God’s great love for us shown in the sacrifice of Jesus and (2) God’s plan that we find our greatest happiness and growth in our relationship with Him. Aren’t those the keys to becoming the people God meant us to be?
To pray about . . .
Father, please help me to become more and more the person you want me to be. Thank You that Your Spirit is at work in me, transforming me every day
WE BECOME WHO GOD MEANT US TO BE BY GIVING OURSELVES COMPLETELY TO HIM.
