Today, the word is "serve" from Matthew 20:28...
"... even as the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Life is a mystery itself, yet, this mystery is definitely a joyful one. Sometimes there are ups, sometimes downs. However, life is never stagnant. I recall telling a worthy friend that I enjoy routine, and am rigid when it comes to routine. When I am trained to speak to one person daily, I get frustrated when the routine changes. Yet, this friend told me that there is nothing that will not change. I do agree with him, but defiantly, I rebuked him then. Yes, I know that "change is the only constant in life", as quoted from Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher. Nobody invites change in his life, but indeed, change is inevitable, just like all the changes which I am going through right now.
For the past 1.5 years, I told the people whom I know that these two years (since 2011) I want to "be still" and receive from God. Oddly enough, I feel like instead of receiving, I suck life out of the people around me sometimes. It was devastating whenever I go through my "moments" that someone in my life will lose their energy source. Right now, it is time for me to "talk" to God, and start looking at Him and learn to "serve" Him fully.
Today there was mass in campus, though not many turned up (as usual), but it was encouraging to see new faces, and yes, the presence of a lecturer of UoL was definitely encouraging! The word "serve" rang loudly in my ears as Fr. John proclaimed the Good News. Yes, while receiving, I am called to serve too, and to walk the talk which Jesus taught us through His life on earth.
Looking at the God who loves me to bits, talking to Him of all my fears and worries in life, and now, considering the mission of serving Him fully. Where will all these lead me to? What about yourselves out there? Have you considered looking deeply into yourselves to meet Him in your fears and worries? Have you tried telling Him the pain which you feel inside? For once, tell Him. May He who created you be the light unto your path tonight.
God bless.
