BELOVED

John 3:21
But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.
-------------------------------------------

By the time you are reading this, I am again in an airplane, maybe sleeping, maybe watching a movie, back to the Philippines. I want to join my wife in her moment of sorrow. I should have been with her from the start, but the “call of duty” prevented me to do so. We all know that Mama has joined our Creator, living in a place as what Jesus has promised. No doubt there are many truths which an unconverted man does know. He may know the truths of mathematics and arithmetic - he may know many of the common everyday truths; but still it cannot be said that an unconverted man knows the truth, for Christ is the truth.

Jesus is the light of the world. No matter how tough the times are, no matter what indignities we must suffer in this life, someday the indignities will end and Jesus’ triumph will be revealed. He is calling each one of us to live our lives in total obedience to God. Let our lives be a living example for others so they, themselves, may experience the joy and happiness of being with God through us. When we come and believe in Him, and keep coming and keep believing in Him, we grow into an intimate relationship with God. Let His light shine through our lives. He is the truth, believe in Him

Let us pray +

Lord Jesus, our Way, our Truth and our Life, we respond to your holy will and reach the heavenly glory to which you call us and to carry out our daily tasks in love and fidelity to our Christian vocation. We promise and commit ourselves to seek only and always the spread of your kingdom of love and peace. We trust that you will give us the spirit, grace and knowledge as means for doing good so others may see what we are doing is clearly done in and for the glory of God.

Amen +

“For the whole world, Jesus is the a bright light
Believe in Him, follow Him, He is the light of life.”

I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall be ever in my mouth.
