"I, the Lord, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go," we read in today's first reading, Isaiah 48: 17-19. God is always at work teaching us the way to go and what is good for us to grow into the man/woman God intends us to become! And what is His intention, you might ask! God has called you and me to become the best person we are capable of becoming. Think of the person in your life that you most admire? What is it about this person? His/her capacity to bring joy into another person's life? His/her capacity to do what is right even in the most trying of times? His or her ability to weather whatever storm he or she might be going through? Is it the person's sense of humor, his/her humility, generosity, willingness to go the extra mile, faith, trust? Whatever it is, a person who wins your admiration or mine, I believe, is someone who allows God to teach him/her what is for his/her good and who follows God's lead!
What do you think sustains a person whom you admire? What might another admire in you?
