2 Kings 5 : 1-15 / Luke 4 : 24-30
When it comes to choosing a name for baptism, or for a religious purpose, the primary source to look into would be the Bible.
There we will come across the names of biblical heroes or persons of faith.
Yet, there are biblical characters whose names are not mentioned.
In today's 1st reading, the little Israelite girl who was captured and became a slave was a nameless person.
But how was it that Naaman believed in her?
Naaman and his wife must have seen or sensed something in that little Israelite slave girl that prompted them to believe in her words.
They probably saw that even though freedom was taken away from her, she still kept her faith and trusted in God.
It was her little actions of faith that impressed Naaman and his wife.
Most of us are not big shots or big names in society or in church.
Yet, like the little nameless Israelite slave girl, our actions of faith count, not only before God but also before others.
In fact, our actions of faith speak louder that our words.
It is through our simple and loving actions of faith that will lead others to believe in God.
