God needs us

Wednesday Feb. 5, 2014

Mark 6:1-6: today at St. Elizabeth the priest said that Jesus went to Nazareth with expectation and enthusiasm to see the people he knew. "He was not able to do any good deeds or Miracles among those in his native place."


This strikes me because it implicates my freedom to yes to Him, it implicates the necessity of our faith, for God to really be able to do any work among us. It some way it's almost like His presence and manifestation depends on our desire to recognize Him! He made man so great!
