Pay it Forward

Matthew 7:7 says, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." 


Today I truly felt God in all the things that I have done. I have been a full time missionary since May of last year. I never thought I'd be here but then God has sent me in this position. Later did I understand the verse I quoted. I thought I would have to fulfill my own portion of responsibility to be able to get all the things I need. But then God reminds me that He works in mysterious ways. There are times when I feel so hopeful yet so hopeless but then this situations I find miracles. 


Somehow the difficulties is somewhat becoming a blessing. The unforgivable and the unlovable become an avenue to cultivate ones heart and become more humble. Thus I say that if I look in my own humanistic viewpoint everything seems illogical. But then if I let God do the work and just really fulfill my portion of responsibility He gives everything to me. It is up to me then how I'd put it in good use. 


Today, I was thinking about going to Mindanao particularly back to Zamboanga where I have to mobilize for the big event in March. However, I still have problems in getting money. Last night, my cousin gave a possibility for me to go back to Zambo for free but then the date might be apt. Today, I had to almost beg for money from people to sponsor my airfare to Zamboanga but surprisingly instead of doing that my sponsor just gave it to me easily. I felt tremendous blessing poured out on me. I am very much grateful about this. 


I want to Pay the things Forward to the people who needs it the most. At this point, I want to serve the people I meet, the people that needed the help the most and the people I will soon meet. Although it is quite ambitious and altruistically inclined thoughts. I think it is better rather than living for just my own satisfaction. 


Somehow, I couldn't understand why I am doing this or why I am thinking this way. But I felt there is hope for a good world if I start making one today. I wanted to this for my future child/children, my future generation. It is never too late. There is no impossible task when we just think its possible. Long journeys comes with one single step. 

As Jordin Spark's song says, "One Step At A Time". I know that in whatever way, I can make a difference and I can make a change. 

Hope we can all together do this too.
