Moments

Whenever im alone, there are several things crossing my mind. What if people do this or that, or what if im not like this and im like that, or what if the earth is not round, or what if there’s no real God, what if there’s no spaces between every finger, what if I die today, what if I meet someone later, what if I choose to hate, what if people don’t know how to love..what if.. several what ifs and lots of questions that even Google cant answer.

Me too cant answer all those questions. And to end those silly things, I just close my eyes, breathe out, open my eyes again, look at the sky and finally my questions are all gone.. right then I realized that im blessed enough to have those questions than to have answers. Imagine my life if I can answer every question. Ironic..

Life here on earth cannot be measured of how many quizzes have we passed, how many recitations have we perfectly answered, how many interviews have we perfectly went through and how many promotions we got..life will not end there..life is not measured on how many digits we have in our bank accounts, and how much liability we need to settle. Life is really not like that. But when people drop their unsolicited advices, life becomes like that. And life becomes complicated, and becomes a never ending competition.

I am reminded of what Fr. Noel Nugid said during our 2013 MMC in Subic. FREE YOURSELF FROM COMPETITION. A simple statement, yet hard to achieve. Imagine this world without competition. Ironic again. Competition is everywhere. And the moment we welcome it, we are facing life, in practical ways. Yes, in practical ways, world ways, in material ways. A competition is a battle and a battle is hard to end. . and on earth, that’s the truth.

The moment of truth is the moment with God. God is true. God never boast that He made everything, He made you, He made me.. God never competes.. God never settle in practical ways, He made everything in His ways, and His only way is LOVE.

Maybe in life, one of the moments we need to remember is the moment with our Redeemer. We may sometimes ignore it, but it’s the best moment ever. He never asked what we have done and what we have failed to do. He never wanted anything from us, He just wants us. He needs us. He loves us. God is the only practical way that we can have. He must be our only reason why we live. He is God!

The only moment of truth is the only moment with God. Cherish those times that we are talking to Him. Remember those hours that He is embracing us in joy and in pain. How blessed we are to have him as  our Beloved!

Hope you enjoy moments with Him, like I do.

Btw, I wanna share with you our theme song each moment that we are together. He's the sweetest!
