Ang Simula


Isa sa pinakamahirap gawin ay ang magsimula. Ang katumbas kasi ng pagsisimula ay ang pagpapatuloy hanggang makarating ka sa dulo. Halimbawa na lamang ngayon, matagal ko nang gusto na magsulat upang maibahagi ang aking mga karanasan at kaisipan. Naiisip ko kasi na ang bawat araw na ibinibigay sa ating ng Panginoon ay may dulot na aral. Kaya napakahalaga na maitala ang mga kaganapan na nangyayari sa ating buhay o sa ating paligid.

Bago magsimula ang isang tao, maaari na siya ay may plano o may ginagawang paghahanda. Hindi naman ito mali sapagkat sa pamamagitan nito nagkakaroon ng panahon ang tao na mag-isip patungkol sa kung paano siya magsisimula. Tinutulungan din nito ang tao na suriin ang mga bagay na dapat niyang isaalang-alang. Ang hindi maganda ay ang walang pag-usad, yung hanggang paghahanda at pagplaplano na lamang. Tandaan natin na ang panahaon ay lumilipas at ang oras ay hindi humihinto. Kaya hangga't maaari ay magkaroon nawa ng kahandaan sa sarili ang bawat isa at maglaan ng oras sa nais gawin upang siya ay makapagsimula.

Devotion The Greatest Commandment

  Matthew 22:34-40 NRSV The Greatest Commandment 34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, an expert in the law, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Is it enough to just know? Is it enough to just know the greatest commandment? What is the greatest commandment? We should know the greatest commandment. And we should obey it as the LORD commands. In our text today, the beginning verse started with the Pharisees and the experts of the law gathered together. One of them questioned Jesus about the commandment. This one, who is a law expert, tried to test J...

The father was very happy when he saw his younger son return. Because he was lost and now found. The father’s happiness is not limited to affirmation and forgiveness. The father even made a celebration and welcomed his son without condemnation. However, the reaction of t...
