Romans 11:29-36 / Luke 14:12-14
Human beings have a nature which is generally call the human nature.
When we think about our human nature, we will think about how our lives have been and what we have been doing.
Because human nature is generally understood as the general psychological characteristics, feelings, and behavioural traits of humankind.
So, we will come to see that at times we can be kind, gentle, compassionate and generous.
But at other times, we can be proud, conceited, selfish, stingy and other behaviours and actions that are embarrassing.
When God created us, He created us in love and with love.
Our human nature is to reflect the divine nature of God.
When sin came in and our human nature was wounded and hence our human nature became prone to sin.
Jesus came to save us and to restore our human nature with love so that we can reflect the divine nature of God.
As the 1st reading tells us: God never takes back His gifts or revokes His choice.
So, as much as our wounded human nature makes us inclined to be selfish and to do things with a vested or ulterior motive, God's healing love prompts us to be generous and to help the poor and needy.
Let us be open to the love of God which will heal our wounded human nature.
Then we will be truly human and reflect the goodness of God in our lives.
