“THE CHOSEN ONES”
by Anj Orense for Chris P. De Guzman
When God chooses someone, He equips them. He has a purpose in mind for the people He chose.
Pansinin nyo, yung Disciples, para silang mixed nuts. Different personalities, different backgrounds, one mission. Hindi lahat ng mga pinili ni Lord, mga dalubhasa o nag-aral ng preaching. Some were fishermen and tax collectors, pero ginamit sila ni Lord to preach the Good News.
Friend, what if pinili ka rin ni Lord for a mission? You might think “bakit ako, Lord?” You might look at all your flaws and insecurities. Baka mag-turo ka pa ng iba at sabihing “Mas magaling sya oh. Mas kaya nya mag public speaking. Mas nakakapag-konekta sya sa tao. Sya Lord, oh, extrovert yan. Wag ako, inverter ako eh!”
But as mentioned in the first reading, ang mga pinipili ni Lord ay yung mga seemingly hindi qualified para ipakita na in their weakness, God becomes their strength para magawa yung task nila.
Kung sa mata mo at sa mata ng mundo ay mahina, mangmang, o kulang ka, sa mata ng Diyos, kapili-pili ka. You are called for a purpose.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, You chose those who are seemingly weak and foolish to shame the strong and the wise. Ikaw yung naging kalakasan nila. Lord, kung tinatawag Niyo po kami for a mission or a purpose, please equip us. We see our flaws yet You see our purpose, so Lord, may we have the courage to answer Your calling. Amen.
REFLECT AND SHARE
If God chooses You to do something for Him, would you let your flaws hinder you from saying yes to Him?
