"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." Philippians 3:7-8 ESV
Kung hindi ang Diyos, ang salita at gawa niya, ang ibinibida mo sa iba, malamang yun ay dahil hindi mo pa nakita kung gaano kaganda, kung gaano kabanal, kung gaano kadakila ang Diyos. Pero kung nakita mo yun, hindi ka na pipilitan pa, ikaw na mismo ang kusang magsasabi sa iba na, “Tingnan mo ang Diyos namin! Behold our God!”
Itong time of suffering during this pandemic ay ginagamit ng Diyos to spread the gospel to all nations, to awaken sinners to the glory of God, and to call them to repentance and faith in Jesus. Let us join God in what he is doing among the nations.

Exodus 19:5-6, “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
Anuman ang kalagayan mo ngayon, anuman ang problemang kinakaharap mo, anuman ang mga excuses na palagi mong sinasabi, don’t delay obedience in bringing this gospel wider into the world. We already have the gospel. That gospel alone is enough for the needs of the world.
