LOVING AND SERVING ONE GOD

It has been seventeen years since we joined the Brotherhood.
Looking back to those seventeen years made us more thankful to the Lord; for giving us the chance to serve HIM through this community, for allowing us to grow stronger and experience His love and mercy.

Our service as Outreach now Chapter-in-Training (CIT) Head of BCBP Bulacan has exposed us to different characteristics, personalities and situations. At first we were scared because we know that are not worthy for the service and we also thought that we are not equipped to lead the Outreach. In Mark 3:17 though, Jesus said “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” This passage served as an inspiration for us to keep going…

Nobody is perfect. That’s what we always say, in order for us to forgive whoever (directly or indirectly) caused us trouble or pain. This I have to master. I cannot count the times I was hurt by the negative actions or words we receive from our brothers or sisters. There are times that I really want to give up our service. But Bro. Noel has this piece to tell me: You don’t have to dwell on the pain somebody has caused you. Search what good it has to offer you.. Focus to whom we devote our services to. Offer to HIM your sacrifices and pain.

We don’t have to pretend or act as if we know everything. It is always comforting to accept our weaknesses, for if we acknowledge our weaknesses, we also learn to accept and understand the weaknesses of our brothers and sisters – That’s what we believe and put into practice. I believe God has given us specific talents, and HE has joined us together in this community for one specific purpose: to give HIM glory. And we will not be able to deliver if we have negative feelings with one another.

Our basic commitment is to love and serve one another, as Manolet Siojo, former BCBP President, has said. We are not supposed to be alone. We have to support one another, to give and receive affirmation, acknowledgement, love and concern from each other. But sometimes we are defeated, for some reasons, to carry on this commitment. Disagreements and conflicts are inevitable. How we respond to these situations are wonderful works of our Lord to us!

God really loves us and care for us, that He has prepared for us an eternal kingdom of bliss. To be worthy of His kingdom, we should be willing to sacrifice earthly fulfillment if it conflicts with the needs of others. Sometimes we are tempted to think it is unfair of God to insist that we give up our happiness for the sake of the good of others. But we must always consider that the invitation to lay down our lives for others (John 15:13) contains the promise of our own personal fulfillment through divine love.

We cannot give what we do not have. For us to be able to give love, we have to experience it first.

..It is said that the highest reward of service is not what you get out of it, but what you have become because of it.

Thank you Lord for letting us grow in your love!
