Ang pagbibigay sa Panginoon ay pagkilala na Siya ang nagmamay-ari ng lahat ng bagay at Siya ang pinagmumulan ng lahat ng pagpapala. Ngayong linggo, pinapaalala ni Ptr. Joseph Ouano na ang ating pagbibigay sa Diyos ay tanda ng ating katapatan at pagtitiwala sa Kanya.
Don’t let the trappings and trinkets of the world fool you into an inflated sense of self. Everything we have comes from the Lord. He has the power to make the strongest small and to bring the proud down. Let us not forget that, apart from Him, we have nothing.
There are things in our lives that are not pleasing to the Lord, but He does not abandon us. Instead, He chooses us and tears us down so He can rebuild us into suitable instruments for His work. May we have the humility to welcome His purpose and live according to His will.
The covenant between God and man is embodied by the Laws, which are also a manifestation of God’s nature. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that Christians are “little Christs” and it is our responsibility to manifest Christ. Let us return to God lest we be messengers without a message or Christians without Christ.
