Today’s reading is about the disciples, after the death of Christ, have become fearful and became scared in spreading the good news and they have gathered in one place to avoid being persecuted for their faith.
Nowadays, Christians have forgotten to follow Christ bravely. They’d go with the flow, pretend they didn’t know, or act cool even though they are going against their Christian faith just so they will not be laughed at. I am guilty of that.
Being a Christian does not mean to be popular or to please everyone. It means to stand for the truth, for the good news, and be the custodian of the truth that Jesus wants us to impart to others.
The challenge for me this year, is to be a blazing light that represents the true meaning of Christianity. Not a judgmental witness, but a welcoming witness who shows Christ through actions and conviction.
I am on my next set of adventure since my birthday is coming up, I am determined to live my life to the fullest at this stage. Because I feel that if I become too lazy, I will not be able to meet the person I am supposed to be, the person God planned me to become. I have decided to fit the shirt that God made for me, and I want every part of me to respond to God’s call. It will never be easy--- but it will all be worth it. Loneliness will play a big role in accompanying me while I trek my journey, but I will always remember that after everything is through, I want to meet God who smiles proudly at me and say “Well done my good and faithful servant!”--- yeah for me, that is the coolest.
Right now, it’s a little lonely--- but it’s lonelier to belong in a crowd where people do not really understand the calling of God. I want to trek my difficult and lonely road--- because at the end of it all--- it will all be worth the sorrow.
I thank God for all the miracles that came my way, and I thank God for the Dreams HE has for me.
