Reflections

What music instrument would you be and why? Think... think... think...

Nasa Tuno ba ang buhay mo?

We are into different fields and interests. I may enjoy some things that you may hate doing. This only shows the diversity of humanity.

Sometimes we are entangled by mishaps brought by our stupid choices. Sometimes even with the presence of signs and warnings, our hard-headed selfish self tends to act as a superhero who courageously choose to side with the left. We want to be good but there are instances that we just cannot. It is beyond our control. Inside every human being, an evil lurks.

This can only be totally eradicated through repentance and by saying “Not our will but thy will be done.”

Everything is the result of our choices. Laziness breeds poverty. Stupidity breeds problems. Lust breeds uncontrolled population. Ignorance breeds deception. Dirtiness breeds diseases. Curse breeds curse. Behind these, are the men and women who are empowering and furthering the chain -a reason why the cycle continues even up to this modern-tech era.

Life is a music. Sometimes it is played fast, slow or mellow. But no matter how we try, it will come to an end. There is always a reason to enjoy it to the fullest.

We have been dancing in this game called life. But the question is, “Are we really listening to the beat?” Are our hands plucking the same strings as what is really written on the book called bible? Are we listening to the one above who is the Writer of the Song? Are our lives in line with His perfect will? If we die today, can we really answer positively if He asks us whether we have live our life to its purpose? Why does sometimes even if we are good, there are still times that we feel the emptiness? Why is sometimes we feel to long to live in place called “Home” were in fact we are living in our own hometown?

Break the chain. Stop the cycle. Shout for joy and sing for praises lift your voice unto the one above. Reflect. See yourself as a plain man and woman without honors, badges and positions attached, then ask yourself, “Nasa tuno ba ang buhay ko?”

Every time that I feel my life is turning upside down, I stop and reflect whether I am still on His perfect will. If yes, it gives me an assurance that I can endure dancing to the music no matter what it cost me even 24/7 non-stop.

Don’t mess with life. Let us make music, not noises!
