Let the dice fall where they will!

Let the dice fall where they will! There seems to be an element of chance in what is read to us today. It seems as though God scatters the seed and then sits back to see what happens. However, it is not as willful as it sounds. God is prepared for the seed to grow at its own rate and to produce the fruit that is intended. There is also an anticipation that great things can happen.

In our lives we can witness that often it is in the simplest act of kindness and generosity that God can be present. There is also a divine initiative which wishes to generate life changing results not just for the person who receives the gift but in the way they can share that gift with others. God calls us to be open to how we are present to his life and love and how we allow ourselves to be open to share that with others.
