Acts 5:17-26 / John 3:16-21
In the midst of the increasing spread of the pandemic, there is one thing that might be decreasing.
What might be decreasing is our faith in God, as we wonder what God is doing as the whole world cringes in worry and anxiety over the spread of the virus, and the difficulties that are arising.
It is not just the individual's faith, but the faith of the Church and even the faith of world and those who believe in God.
As much as the pandemic is a stark reality and no one is immune to it, it would be a very dark world if we are going to be obsessed by it.
It is in these dark times that we need to believe in something good and something brighter.
We turn to the gospel and we read that God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not be lost but may have eternal life.
As we prepare to be confined to our homes until the 1st June (as it was announced yesterday), let us keep believing that God loves the world, that He loves each of us, and that this is the time to hold on to our faith in God's love for us.
Let us not keep looking at the dark side of things but know that the light of God's love is shining on us and even brighter than before, only if we want to look at the light.
Yes, God's light is shining brightly to tell us that He loves us. Let us believe and hold on to our faith in God.
