Romans 12
"Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God-what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect."
Life in God's service is the title of St. Paul's letter to the Romans chapter 12. This verses always reminds me of my duty as a Christian. Ever since I was young, I've been so active listening to every preaches in our community, in our church, and luckily I spent my 4 years of high school inside a Catholic school and spent almost my college years serving God and preaching and inviting those young people to serve God in their own personal way. That made my year and my life. But when I started to look for work and became very busy with it, things get good with work but not with God, still I thanked him for giving me such a wonderful and loving boyfriend whom I know loves me very much and I thanked him for giving me such a very loving and supportive family. A family that drives to work harder for the very good reason of surviving. I thought my father was a cancer survivor, but after a year of kemo, he still gave in just last July 3, he died. I know I've done everything for my family and for myself, I've turn to God in every way, but I know my faith is never the same as before, I haven't confess for a long time now, haven't opened the bible until now and I think things will pretty work great that way. Of course then, I was very wrong, because of the death of my father whom we love very much, I am now working to the hardest for my family with the help of my able-to-work siblings, things are going great with me living here in the place which I never dreamed of living and working before (Makati City).
I know there's something and that something is very well, then my mind started to think. I saw my bible that was not opened for the longest time and I turned it to Romans 12, the chapter that reminded me of my duties as a Catholic Christian, I know very well that someday I'll get married and will have children and I want my children to have a genuine faith, that's why I will start right now, start again with me-so that I could share it with my family, my boyfriend and his family and with my officemates. Sometimes it's tough being angry with God and I don't have any good reason to be acting that way, that's why I want to change it right now, not tomorrow, not in the future but right now.
"God is kind and merciful, slow to anger but rich in compassion."
