<b>29 January 2016<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, I need to stop. I’ve been wanting to do this. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am puzzled with people who can go through week after
week after week without having to question why they do what they do. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am now a Pastor. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Four years ago, I was just busy blogging about life,
marriage, and my relationship with God. Few years ago, I was busy surfing where
to take swimming lessons, available dance studios, and open table tennis gym. I
was busy making sure that I will get the best out of life: working, saving,
learning new things, traveling, and .. being a wife. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then, I was back in the ministry. My desire for something
bigger was awaken. The call of God that has captivated my past present and
future self has energized my rather ordinary life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since then year after year, God has led me to a place of
pure satisfaction. A place where I can say, life is wonderful by itself. I did
not need entertainment to fill my curious soul. Days were like movies never
been told. Most days were challenging, others are dramatic. There are some days
when God surprises you with His love and power. There are a lot of days of
learning. There are a few days you want to just quit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did not recognize how we, I and my husband were getting
old. We are just going through this journey day after day after day. There were
moments we are doing ministry but not being ministers. We were like hired
workers doing the things we do because we have no choice. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am paid to function as a full-time Pastor. But being a Pastor
is more than just a function. I need to constantly remind myself of why I am
here in the first place. I am called. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We, through our professions, are called by God. To fully
enjoy our work, to some extent, you have to embrace what you do so you can
become who God called you to be. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s easy to follow up. It’s easy to communicate, (most of
the time), it’s easy to shake hands and give your smile to everyone. It’s somehow
easy to write scripts or organize activities. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But it’s not easy to always love. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And this is what I want to thank my Pastors for. I realized
that to be a Pastor is to fully allow God to change you so you can be used for
the change of others. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This process is normally, not without pain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a pastor, you have to quickly learn how to surrender what
people call as rights.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You adjust fast. You forgive at once. You take care of
yourself well. You recuperate from pain in a day. You get up every Sunday
morning no matter what. You guard your heart at all cost. You will always have
to walk closely to God so you’d know when to dream big and to stay satisfied. You
will learn how to always tap on that positive side of you even if you don’t
feel like doing it. You have be both wise and nice, strong and sweet. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These things are not only <i>not easy</i>. They are pretty much impossible. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s what I thank God for. In the middle of these impossibilities,
I am still alive today. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Praise God for His unchanging grace. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s wonderful to see how privileged ministers are. They get
to see a miracle, every day.. up close and personal. They get to see God change
their very lives. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am ready to move forward again. <o:p></o:p></div>

There's no other way but forgiveness.<br />

Marriage may be many things but it cannot be without forgiveness. The best chocolate is never the sweetest. Sometimes some bitter and salty taste makes it just the perfect one. <br />
<br />
All deep relationships are rooted on a cycle of saying sorry, doing the same mistake, saying sorry again and hopefully learning from them.<br />
<br />
Today, God taught me how to deal with offense. It hurts like crazy but the Holy Spirit was with me, certainly. I asked, "Lord please help me take this matter in a mature way; this can no longer be hidden under my pillow of tears."<br />
<br />
God led me to communicate to my husband exactly how I felt about the issue and SUDDENLY, peace just surrounded me. Pain had lost its sting on me.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when things are unfair, several ideas come to mind on how to heal our hearts. Our antidote is composed of attack or escape and revenge or neglect.<br />
<br />
If I only learned earlier to let the Spirit represent me, I would have spared myself from unnecessary tears and self torture.nasheehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11872068906806153838noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995792166837176965.post-78075868152333117912012-11-20T11:25:00.001-08:002012-11-20T11:31:04.683-08:00Does doubting offend the Lord?<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In this day and age when an increasing number of young people
profess to have received a Word from the Lord, there is a need to verify. This
is not out of disbelief but out of high regard to the task.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has been said that the Lord qualifies the
unqualified. How do we close the gap between that and the quality assurance
prerequisites? Aspiring pastors have to allow God to lead them to a process of
preparation before stepping up to the position. The church cannot afford to
take risks on an unchanged leader. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Without hearing from the Lord, it makes all other
qualifications worthless. If one is certain and unshakable with the calling, it
is a good start. There is also a collection of job qualifications. Some of
these are innate but most are achieved through life training. Basically, everything
boils down to this: the certainty of the call from the perspective of God and
man, verified by qualifications. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Re-checking is not doubting the call but defending it from
doubts. It takes courage and wisdom to face the question without questioning if
it really was God who made the call. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I grew up at a time when being a
Christian is uncommon- sometimes a good thing but at times not. A lot
of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>unchurched people were not open to my
kind of spirituality. About 15 years ago, when you meet somebody who says he is
a Christian, you automatically feel comforted that you are not alone, that you
found a relative. These days, many profess to be a Christian, a born-again
Christian for that matter. It’s fashionable. It’s easy. Less rules more grace.
Less actions more faith.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the earlier church, the response to
this is monasticism. Because of the lax in standards (caused by massive pagans
being converted bringing them their beliefs and manner of worship into
Christianity), those who had been raised in a Christian family/setting felt the
need to do more, to sacrifice more, to pursue godliness all the more. </span></div>

learn from the monks. We don’t need to be surrounded by brick walls but let us
put strong boundaries from unholy lifestyles. We are not required to live in
patterns or monotony but let us discipline ourselves to seek God in everything.

grace. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grace abounds in need. If we are
not doing anything, we don’t need much of it. But if we actively pursue the
things of God, the more that we need this grace… and the more that we are given. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The only thing that separates us from the blessings that God
has already given is disbelief. Faith is the currency of heaven. It’s hard to believe
that everything has already been provided but this is the truth. This is the
reason why we are asked to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aWScfQSbRc&feature=bf_next&list=PLFD9FB41D5FB2742E">pray</a> with thanksgiving instead of always pleading. We
praise God for He has already given all we could ever need. The supply came
before the need. </div>

Although I have already prayed, I am threatened. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am afraid of the debts we have incurred
because of wrong decisions in the past. I am discouraged of the fact that
despite of us adjusting our lifestyle, this mountain of debt seems to stay. I
am disappointed of myself not being able to take control. I can’t wait to see
God take us out from here. This is me. This is what I feel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, I now choose to look to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter
of my faith. I choose not to embrace the consequences when I can tap to the
grace of my Father. I say grace because we don’t deserve to be pardoned because
we chose to overspend. Yet, I hold on to my God instead of being solely responsible.
I used to believe that I have to pay for every mistake I have done instead of
surrendering to God who can actually lift the burden from my shoulders. We
repented, we learned our lesson, we ask for grace and believe for it. My
confidence is in God. The goodness of God just overwhelms me. He’s like
supppppeeeer good. This is the essence of Jesus being our Savior.</div>

If I don’t have faith, I am not a Christian. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: small;">And so it is Friday and it's the 13<sup>th</sup> day of the first month of this year. Suddenly, I am inspired to write. I feel like suppressing these disturbing ideas (acting like raging hormones) that I can't keep inside this rather tiny skull.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> Identity crisis has its way of stopping my rhythm. I thought I have moved past this problematic adolescence stage. As I plan to write further, I paused and ask myself if I can really define what identity crisis is. Perhaps I am misusing the term. I am pertaining to the constant dilemma of thinking about self. There has always been a longing to look inward and investigate on this personality God gave me. I don't know how much of me was a result of my doing and how much of me is really God given.</span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> Months before December until the first week of this year, I was everywhere: from family reunions to friends' get together, and to parties that caused me tiring happiness. Now that I finally got the chance to stop, I stumbled. I am not actually walking straight on the exact path God wanted me to walk on but I stumbled while I was on the opposite side of the so called narrow road. Talk about double trouble.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> I was thinking whether it is better to run without a purpose or to just lie flat on the right ground but closer to the Lord. Would it be be more acceptable to stay "less" sinless in a place where God didn't call you to stay <i>than</i> struggling but moving closer to the Lord? Has sin really has the capacity to even push us towards the holiness of God? Isn't it sin that caused our separation to the Lord? Can sin really magnetize us to the grace of the Lord?</span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> I failed to sustain the “good” performance I had the previous months. Just like any self professed Christian, guilt was only recognized after the act. Perhaps guilt had already been there before and during the temptation but the call for self gratification was way louder. I slept on the issue. I chose not to say sorry because I felt I wasn't really sorry to the Lord. I was telling myself that God would feel worse if I apologize for the thing that I so freely did a minute before. I heard so many voices. I couldn't identify which one is mine, the Lord's or the enemy's. I knew what's gonna happen after every <i>fall. </i> I will stay away from whatever is holy. I'll run away from God as I look at my nakedness. I'll run away as far as I could so I will live a life bearing the consequences of my sin but not being guilty about it, as if paying for it my way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> It consumes me to stay in the presence of the Lord while bearing this guilt. It kills me. The fear of looking on my “disappointed” God makes me crazy.</span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> Then after sleeping, I rose up and shrugged it off. On my mind, the debate continued. Should I just live again as if nothing happened? Wouldn’t it be like fooling God? Or should I repent my heart out, feeling sorry all day for what happened? Would God forgive me faster when I will not let myself be affected of what happened? </span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="Standard" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;"> "You know my heart today Lord. I hate myself for not hating too much what I did. Help me to be genuinely sorry to the point of deciding not to do it again. Help me hate evil the way You hate it. Pardon my case and (I know this would sound like using You but please) be my Savior one more time. I don't know how many times I will pray like this but today please cause me to hate hurting You. I know You died once and for all but let me hate sin this way. I think I have to endure seeing You put to cross again. Now as I write I start feeling bad. It's like you paid for my nonsense temporal happiness by your blood, your precious life. Who am I to do this to You, my Lord? I cannot undo Your wounds but the best form of gratitude may be not to live this life as if You did not die for me. Let me live my remaining days forever thankful for your death by making the most of time to share in your suffering but not trying to outdo what You already did.</span></div>

Like any other a-little-above-minimum-wage earner, I am feeling the necessity to look for greener pasture or the temptation to let the couch serve me for maybe a month.<br />
I am at the point of working without a point. I eat what I earn. That's good but ain't good enough. Living for a year on a survival mode is like wasting time and energy. The company is not paying for my lost time, it is simply paying me for doing my job. For this reason, I want to look for a job that will both pay my labor and my time, meaning, one that can make me survive and really earn to save.<br />
I am always the type of a worker who never shuts my mouth. I hate it. I always blab about how I feel and what I want to be changed. I kept on spreading updates regardless whether my friends want to hear or not. Anyway, I 've been trying to convince myself that I have to resign for the reasons previously stated. I do this convincing thing through declaration, hoping that I would hear my own words and that these words would sink in.<br />
I am afraid to let go. I am afraid to waste my time during transition. I know, during that period, I would count the losses I have and regret of supposed profits If I stayed.<br />
I need to find a higher reason to quit, or should I say, I have to have a higher reason before even considering quitting. If God would not want me to do a thing, then I'll be still. However, if I am certain, that my uncertainty is enough to make me stop, then, it's time.<br />
In my timeline, a lot of resources have already been kept and not yet invested. In my timeline, I need to pursue my career before having a baby. In my timeline, I have to earn more than before, because I am still young and I have to save more for my future.<br />
God holds the Time. He is The Alpha and The Omega. He thinks about my life more than I think about it. This life is not my problem, what I need to do is seek Him and ask Him, what I've gotta do, for this very moment, He'll take care of my tomorrow.<br />

After a period of coldness, suddenly, this empty vessel reminds me of my nothingness. I wonder how God feels whenever we try to fill this heart with anything but Him. I bet He feels pity looking on me trying to pursue things that won’t really satisfy. More than being jealous I think He feels hurting to see this painful sadness eating me up. He doesn’t want to push me to love Him, He simply knows that only He can make me happy, He wanted to reach out because that would make me fulfilled. God was never selfish. It’s hard to accept these truths. Even while writing this, my mind tells me how self centered the previous sentences were. But that is how God loves, always toward to the object of His affection. I can’t understand. He stays there, quiet and waiting, while I run away exposing myself to every sort of shame. Lately, God is speaking to my heart not in words I am so familiar of, but in His silence. It wakes my humanity from long slumber. I miss the Lord. I miss my God. <br />

Stormy marriage occupied and clouded my thoughts. I am being taught about forgiveness lately and it was the most difficult lecture I have heard so far. I mean I am not just hearing about it, I had to learn it through the bruises in my heart. God has made people's marriage really imperfect so we could only look up to Him and say,"Oh I almost forgot, this marriage isn't about us, but about You displaying Your love, Your mercy, Your grace". The moment you forgot about God (in all human relationships) is the moment you actually lose those people you thought you are related with.<br />

There is no human relationship that will truly flourish without the Lord. Nothing. Love binds relationships, God is love, without God, you have nothing to do with each other. You'll just hurt yourselves till you bleed to death. <br />
<br />
However, God is not the magic formula so we could get along with each other. God is not only The Source of love, but He is the reason why we love. By that I mean, we need to learn how to consciously love the other person simply because we love Who made that person.<br />

After I posted our photos when we were kids, I missed her terribly that I woke up one day and decided to see her at all cost. Our budget may not be enough that time for treating her in a good resto but we had a good time. My husband was so facinated by how we exchange stories of the past and the present. I don't know but whenever we reunite, sharing makes us feel at home in an instant. We don't even care how animated we look like. We freely show our emotions like nobody else is around. </div>

When the night was over, we were crying as we said our goodbyes. She reminded me, "<em>Dati magkatabi lang tayo matulog no?</em>" Tears started to roll down on my cheeks and they became unstoppable. We both live in the Metro but our distance is exaggerated by lack of chance to meet. I regret that we didn't really grew up together. I was so independent that I don't know if I have influenced my sister to any degree. Our irregular family set up has caused us to stand strong whether alone or not. There wasn't a choice. My heart's prayer is for her to settle down with somebody who God really wants for her. I pray that they would build a family that we never had. I bet God has also a gift for her, somebody whom God will use to let her feel how lovely girl she truly is.</div>

God tested my kindness. I was extremely hungry by the time I arrived work. I bought a
slice of rice cake for my brunch. At the pantry, everybody was doing
their personal stuff before the class, I sat on the corner. I took
out my fork and said, “kain”. I know that you know this simply
means, “I'm gonna have my meal now, excuse me.”

I am very sensitive when it comes to my
utensils. My husband and I seldom eat on the same plate and he seldom
takes whatever I am eating. I like the way he respects me. My
officemates are not like my husband.

I asked one of them, <i>“Gusto
mo? May tinidor ka?” (Wanna try? Do you have fork?). </i><span style="font-style: normal;">Then
she grabbed MY fork and tried once, then again, and again, and
again. She even asked others to try. I went out of the room
pretending that I don't mind. When I came back, one of them told me
that she was sorry that MY fork fell on the floor. </span>

don't know but somehow I felt disrespected. Suddenly I remembered I
had offended one of my officemates few months ago. She was having her
lunch and I interrupted her. I said, “You told me before that you
don't usually eat here at the pantry? But you're here.” I said it
in a nice tone. It was actually my way of saying “hi”. But she
exploded. She began to say a lot of words I wish to forget. Our 'used
to be good' relationship was never the same again after that day.
After some time, she confessed that she was just in a bad mood and my
comment appeared to be a wrong timing. Lesson learned, never
interrupt a person while he/she is eating because hunger drives
everyone crazy, literally.</span></div>

<span style="font-style: normal;">Anyway,
getting back to my story, what was left for me was a small slice of
my rice cake and my fork with strangers' saliva. Since it's already
time to go to our respective stations, no one was left at the pantry.
Alone, I said to my self, attitude check? - failed.</span></div>

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman</h5>
<b><sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23655">21</sup> Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23656">22</sup>
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord,
Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and
suffering terribly.” </b><b> <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23657">23</sup> Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” </b><br />
<b> <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23658">24</sup> He answered, <span class="woj">“I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”</span></b> <br />
<b> <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23659">25</sup> The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. </b><br />
<b> <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23660">26</sup> He replied, <span class="woj">“It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”</span></b> <br />
<b> <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23661">27</sup> “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” </b><br />
<b> <sup class="versenum" id="en-NIV-23662">28</sup> Then Jesus said to her, <span class="woj">“Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.”</span> And her daughter was healed at that moment. </b><br />

These verses were not meaningful to me as they are now. I can hear the desperation on the mother's voice. I can almost hear her crying her heart out while nobody cared. She was utterly neglected, ignored. Her background could have disqualified her from being near the Miracle-worker. Even the people around Jesus just noticed her because they she started to get into their hair. You see, all the disciples could do was to be humans, go by the rules and treat people as to what they deserve. But Jesus is Lord. He went beyond our human tendency to discriminate, He loves mercy.<br />
<br />
In the text, Jesus did not say anything at first. Like those days when we were at our lowest and our cries were beyond control, yet no single word form the Lord was heard? After reading it, I can feel the heart of the Lord. He was so into helping the mother but He stretched out her faith at its best. If Jesus just gave away what He was being asked to do, then the mother will get the miracle but not get the whole point of it. When God doesn't say a word that doesn't mean He doesn't have a message. It's beyond words, feel His heartbeat, there you'd find the truth. It beats you. He has your prayers in his heart.<br />
<br />
I perceive this event as one of the most powerful evangelism known. Jesus showed what the Law was offering. To make things worse on the sight of many, He even gave an illustration on her position in life. People around may always give us a picture of ourselves lower than we actually are. We may see our feet standing on a wrong ground, miles away from heaven, far from righteousness but hey!. He so longs to save us- both the children and the dogs. </div>

Welcome Thursday. I closed my eyes and
asked God to bless my day. I started to log in... Suddenly, I thought
about sending simple messages to my officemates first. I sent a
simple “hello, have a blessed day.” One by one, they replied. I
knew they felt important that they are remembered. I felt good just
the same. Some of them were having a not so good day. They said I
was able to cheer them up. Then I realized, I knew God is happy
looking at me, saying, “That's exactly what you should be doing in
your office”. </div>

I tend to spend my spare time surfing the Internet at my heart's
content. I skim from News to fashion to blogs to travel.. almost
every single thing. I check reviews on skin products, best
restaurants in the city and the latest updates in Hollywood. More
than just information overload, I experience tiredness beyond words. I
was wondering why I feel down tired while in fact I'm just there
sitting down endlessly moving my mouse. There must be something
wrong. I feed my self with trash. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to be
informed but it's terrible to know everything without putting them
to right use, without reflecting after. </div>

The Word of the Lord really changes
everything. I listened to one preaching yesterday and it was about
the love of God that compels us to love others . He said, it ought to
be automatic like a reflex to help those who are in need. We are
supposed to be moved by the love He so freely gave to us. He added
that if we are not living this way, there must be something wrong. If
we really had encountered the love of God, we can't help but share it
to others.He was not pertaining to the ABC of salvation. He was just saying that we need to actually love the person and not persuade him to be part of a religion. </div>

is reading this today. Maybe you will read this months after or years
after I write this. God is just telling us to give our best in
whatever we do at work but never forget the purpose from which we
should move and have our being. We cannot deny the love of God in our
lives. You can attest to that. Only you know how much He has done for
you. Let's pray that we all have a heart of flesh that could easily
respond to His call, whenever, wherever.</div>
