Tabernacles of God

In a manner of speaking, a tabernacle is an experience of God’s presence. It is an experience of showing God’s presence. As Fr Joe Krafft asked us, why can’t we be tabernacles? We are created in the image and likeness of God. Thus, we bring God to life. We spread God’s love by bringing God to life and showing God’s presence among us. Others see God’s presence in us, in what we do, because we are tabernacles of God.

What keeps us from showing this? What keeps us from being tabernacles? What keeps our light from shining or better yet, the light of God shining through us, as tabernacles?

Chances are it is some type of fear. For me, it is fear that God won’t follow through and I will have to take care of matters on my own. Unfortunately, all I ever get through that is a method that fills me temporarily, leaving me in grief for the moment, and then wanting more later on. Why can’t I just turn to God and not be afraid like God has told me to time after time? Most of our fears go away when we face them and find out what they really are. Face your fear and turn it over to God! DO NOT BE AFRAID!
