About Me

just shooting questions to the universe and hoping that when the right time comes I will receive some answers, or if not, I will be given something to enrich my life.

Just as I am

The Gospel yesterday is interesting. It is about the Saducees asking Jesus about the resurrection of the dead by proposing to Him the story of a woman who was given in marriage to seven men. At the resurrection of the dead, whose wife will she be?
I once read an interesting comment about this. The writer said that in heaven we will no longer be known by our related-ness to others. Our connection with people will remain, but our identity will not depend on them.
In this life our importance is great influenced by who we know, who we are related to. But the only "related-ness" that really matters is our being children of God.
The less concerned we are about feeling important by virtue of the people we know and who know us, the simpler life will be, the happier we are.
