Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 3, 31-36
The one who comes from above is above all.
The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things.
But the one who comes from heaven is above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard,
but no one accepts his testimony.
Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.
For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God.
He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God remains upon him.
Look up!
1. Your gaze. This is what this Easter leads us to, to become aware that you must resuscitate. Stop looking only at human, material, and earthly things. Look higher! I’m not referring to the mystical, but rather to what makes your life. See how great and wonderful it is to live; see how wonderful this life is; see how beautiful it is to have a family. Stop looking at problems and pains! The greatness of living is knowing that your life is beautiful because it’s life, not because of situations you go thorough or people around you.
2. Enjoy. Enjoy the little things. There’s nothing truly valuable that is achieved without effort. To enjoy life it’s necessary to accept limits, and that’s why it’s necessary to know yourself. Knowing yourself is the first step to being happy. Don’t be blind, and remember that when you look up, you have to have your feet firmly on the ground. There are aspects of each one of us that are in a blind spot. That’s why it’s good to accept the help someone gives you so you might see your true self, even if it bothers you.
3. Believe. Remember that God is with you and that He wants what’s best for you, He wants you to be happy. Don’t be afraid to look at your future; don’t be afraid to fail; don’t be afraid of God, because, through his Son, He reminds you that you will always be loved!
Remember that something good is on the way!
God bless you and be with you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
