HAVE you EVER experienced STANDING UP FOR WHATEVER CAUSE?
Have you ever sacrificed your own experience, your own agony, even your own tears for the sake of making people realize that what they are doing is not in accordance to God’s will?
Have you ever conceded your own dignity to be subject to others’ ridicule just because you’re striving for justice to prevail?
It’s not so easy STANDING UP FOR WHATEVER IS RIGHT!
To God be the Glory….putting me in tears while I write for this because after pondering on the meaning on the Words of God to me today, I suddenly felt the joy of how He made use of me in a couple of eight months, for me to be able to partake in God’s mission.
It is so amazing how God intends to speak to us and tell us whether what we did was in accordance to His will or not – more so that it is so reassuring to find out through this Gospel for today that God would sometimes partner with us and use our distress for the sake correcting the mistakes of others who has just been so unfair in making their indecision prevail despite the effect of hurting “already agonized people”. It is never trouble-free; neither painless battling against powerful people – people who are in their high positions who are so hooked with their supremacy; people who are so just concerned with the fulfillment of their commands, yet are simply rude in getting things done without looking into the “heart” of those who will get “hurt” because they’ve been unmindful of doing things the humane way.
However, if and only if we would have the persistence like Jesus had, we would soon be an agent of positive change — for the torment that we may strive to overcome today may be the lesson that those authoritative people would have to learn to make them eventually treat people with dignity that is due to them — ALL BECAUSE we never stopped making them realize that they CAN STILL MAKE THEIR BODY A TEMPLE OF GOD BY STARTING TO CORRECT THE MISTAKES THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED.:)sunsetProfGail
