Sa kakahalungkat ko ng mga lumang gamit para hanapin ang ilang papeles na kailangan sa akin bagong pakikipagsapalaran, nakita ko ang isang papel na nakatupi na nakaipit sa aking 2003 organizer. Nung binuklat ko siyempre yung papel, naglalaman pala ito ng excerpts sa libro ni Og Mandino na Greatest Miracle in the World. Ang mga salitang ito ang isa sa mga nakapagbuo ng desisyon ko na hanapin ang lugar ko o mas magandang sabihin na misyon ko dito sa mundo. Ang mga salitang nabasa ko sa librong na siyang nasulat ko sa kapirasong papel na yun ang nagbigay sa akin ng lakas ng loob at tiwala sa sarili na makakaya ko ang kahit anong bagay na naiisip ko dahil ako isa sa pinakamalaking himala ng mundo ng ginawa Nya.
Eye-opener talaga sa akin ang mga salitang ito nabasa ko sa libro ni Mandino. At gusto kong mabasa nyo ito para makita nyo rin ang liwanag na nakita ko sa mga salitang sinulat nya. Heto na…
Wheew! Enjoy. It is God's will na mabasa ko ito uli...to reflect back...
(Ang libro ay nasa salitang Ingles)
It is difficult for me to put into words…yet I am positive that certain pieces of music, certain works of art, certain books and plays were created not by the composer, artist, author or playwright but by God and those whom we acknowledged as the creators of these works were the only instruments employed by God to communicate with us.
For thousand of years this world witness countless parade of prophets pronouncing and explaining the will of God: Elijah, Amos, Moses, Ezekiel; Isaiah, Jeremiah, Samuel and all other marvelous messengers until Jesus and Paul. And then…no more! I cannot believe that. No matter how many of his prophets were ridiculed, chastised, tortured and even murdered, I cannot conceived that God finally gave up on us and turned his back on our needs causing some us to finally assume He must be dead since we hadn’t heard from him in so long time. Instead I truly believe that He has sent into every generation, special people, talented people, brilliant people… all bearing the same message in one form or another… that every human is capable of performing the greatest miracle in the world. And it is man’s grievous fault that he has not comprehended the message, blinded as he is by the trivia of each succeeding civilization.
…
Most humans in varying degrees are already dead. In one-way or another, they have lost their dreams, their ambitions, and their desire for better life. They have surrendered their fight for self-esteem and they have compromised their great potentials. They have settled for a life of mediocrity, day of despair and nights of tears. They are no more than living deaths confined to cemeteries of their choice. Yet they need not to remain on that state. They can be resurrected from their sorry condition. They can perform the greatest miracle in the world. They can each come back from dead…
…
Not richer but just happier life…
Most of us build prisons for ourselves and after we occupy them for a period of time, we became accustomed to their walls and accept the false premise that we are incarcerated for life. As soon as that belief takes hold of us, we abandon hope of ever doing more with our lives and of ever giving our dreams to be fulfilled. We became puppets and begin to suffer living deaths. It may be praiseworthy and noble to sacrifice your life to a cause or a business or a happiness of others, but if you are miserable and unfulfilled in that lifestyle and know it then to remain on it is hypocrisy, a lie and a rejection of the faith placed in you by your creator.
...
I am not playing God. I am not playing God. What will you learn, sooner or later, is that God very often plays man. God will do nothing without man and whenever He works a miracle it is always done through man.
….
You can actually become whatever you are thinking. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.
- Simon Potter
And from there…here I am. I am the greatest miracle in the world. =)
Amen! :D
