We’re not lions
The lions roar declaring power. According
to fables, they reign in the jungle and none of the rest of the animals is far
superior to them. But this is half-truth for there are animals that fare well
in their clan and are ready to declare a fight against their peers.
In
the jungle those who dare to fight in order to survive are the ones that
continue to live. God must have been wise enough to create this occurrence that
they being an example of survival becomes an eye-opener to us. But sometimes
people are frail enough that they can’t accept that God must have a purpose why
a lot in the world suffer.
To
the victims of tsunami recently, to them that is already the end of their
world. To us we may have been spared, that we may continue fighting a good
fight of faith and continue to be emotionally and spiritually strong having
good courage. None of us may be spared from being tested. Each has his turn to
be in the bottom of the wheel of life.
If
there are those who seem to be exempted from suffering it is because they may
be under God’s care or are those who do enjoy materially and may be losing the
chance to be filled spiritually. But all of us have our own fight to declare.
Some realize that this fight is the fight not much of survival but the fight to
perfection and salvation.
In
the spiritual world, none is better than to be absorbed in the desire to be
filled with the Holy Ghost that we may be like unto Christ. Here in God’s
kingdom, those who become near to God are spiritually marked with his name, the
name above all. When we are possessed with the Holy Ghost, we are marked as
God’s people.
As
the world continue to rejoice, you may be enduring your turn to cry, but to
think of where will God take you, that notion is enough reason for you to
smile. God says, ‘Do not fear my child.’ If there is a reason for us to fear
that is we should fear the wrath of God. In this present time, God is giving us
all the chances to come closer to him.
In
the work of God, we are not lions or tigers to be clothed with the beast’s
clothing that we may devour others to untruth. We’re not even those who oppress
others because of our power. We may be blessed that we may share our blessings.
We may be of good heart that we may think of others’ need than of our own.
We’re
not in the battlefield that we become enemies of others. Though the lash of the
tongues of others may be occurring sometimes, we are only tested of our
patience that we may escape many days of sorrow. We are born that we may look
also to the welfare of others. We exist that we may be agent for their
salvation.
We
do not spearhead the occurrence of misunderstanding. We exist that we may be
ambassadors of peace. We are not like those who declare competition. We are
here that we may help one another. Let us be good to others while at the same
time fair to self.
We are not like
lions superior but do devour than love and create peace.
