Lord, build us 

If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.” – 1 Corinthians 3:14

A civil engineer was working for a company. The owner of the company gave him a project on construction of a house before retirement. The engineer took it easy as he was going to retire soon and that was his last project. Instead of being diligent he was negligent. He failed to carry out his responsibilities with commitment regarding purchase of materials and supervision of works. Anyhow he completed the construction work and handed the house key to his boss. But the boss returned the key to the engineer saying that the newly built house was his gift to him for his wonderful service all the years. He was taken aback by his compliment. He regretted not having used good quality materials and not supervising the workers properly. He worried and exclaimed “If I have known that the house is going to be mine, how perfectly and beautifully I would have constructed it! 

In this world, we have been building our families and relationships. Now we are called to consider how we are constructing it. The strong foundation of our building is laid with love. We need to build up relationships and friendship and carry the responsibilities on shoulders and build the wall of hope in the work place. At times we are building it without any concern or interest and involvement. God will be grieved if we live as we like spending time on eating, drinking, making merry and dying unprepared. We must lead a meaningful life and finish our course. We are given only one life and it will soon pass away. Only what is done for Christ will last forever. Jesus Christ has left us an example. So, let us follow in the footsteps of Christ and reflect Him in our lives. 

According to God’s word written in 1 Corinthians 3:10-13 we can build on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay and straw and complete it. One day our work will be exposed and each one will receive his own reward according to his labor. Let us take heed how each one builds on it. Shall we decide today how we are going to build our family life?
