March 1, 2018
There are times in our lives when we cannot avoid to think about what other people think about us. We are too busy thinking about how we look from them and how our actions affect them. But would it matter?
I was raised by the words of my parents that "we are all equal in the eyes of our Lord" but sometimes I can tell that I failed to carry out those words because of insecurities and rejections. There are times when I look so high about my self, pride and ego rise as feelings of assurance and superiosity collide. At the end of the day, when I try to recall my actions and feelings, I pause and realize that there are unnecessary actions that could have been avoided if I have only chosen to take everything slow and take into consideration the people around me. I was so focused on myself that I forget about feelings of other people, I forget about those that matter and the one who matters MOST.
Who is Jesus for us?
As we start this month towards the celebration of the Holy Week, let us take this opportunity to ponder and think deep in our hearts on who Jesus is for us. For a moment, let's stop what we are doing and answer quietly the question and follow it with a personal prayer. I have also shared the Verse of the Day for additional reading and reflection.
Verse of the Day
Ephesians 6:11 [CEV]
"Put on all the armor that God gives, so you can defend yourself against the devil's tricks."
