TRUTH TO PROCLAIM (05-19-11)

John 13:19
From now on I am telling you before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe that I AM.
--------------------------------------------------------------

There are now a lot of talent search shows, started by the famed American Idol. There are dance, cooking and modeling talent reality shows. And, it is really great watching talented individuals giving all their best. However, before these great winners became what they are now, they underwent grueling interviews, auditions, hours of practice, ridicules, excitement, joy and frustrations.

Most would say that they are great fans of their idols. You can even see them imitating well-known singers and performers. They imitate them because they believe they are the greatest. They imitate them because they believe in what they do. They imitate them because they want to be them – or even better.

Jesus is our greatest idol. And we are His greatest fans. And we believe in Him not only because we read about Him. We idolize Him not just because we heard about Him. We are His greatest fans because we believe in everything that He stands for – love and peace!

As His greatest fans, it is only proper that we show this love to everyone. We should spend hours of reading His Words, accept being ridiculed, be excited in teaching others, share our joys and happiness and give back to Him our frustrations and disappointments, totally believing and trusting Him that everything will be alright.

And He continue to call us to give that “sight” to others so they may also receive His promise of love, peace and salvation. We can even be better, and He knows that and He believes we can. We are His chosen people. And by knowing that we should live our lives like His shall be our greatest source of joy and faith.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, I believe that You can do all things and I trust that in all things there is meaning and purpose. Amen +

For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
