Life Is Always Half Full & Half Empty

First Things First

Only one thing is important. Mary has chosen the better thing, and it will never be taken away from her. (Luke 10:42)

In the famous parable of the lost son (Luke 15:11-32), a young man rejects his father's teaching and authority. Demands his inheritance, and heads for a distant land where he squanders his financial and moral wealth. The loving father never gives up on this prodigal, and when his young son does come to his senses and ashamedly returns home, he welcomes him with open arms.

He honors him with a feast, and party, a special cloak, and a golden ring. The older brother, who was faithfully stood by his father's side this whole time, is enraged that the prodigal should receive such a welcome. The father sadly reminds this older son that you dont't have to work in a pig sty like his younger brother did to have a piggy attitude. Both sons learn about forgiveness and reconciliation from the love of their father.

In our passage, (blog: Having Mary in Matha's...) we discover that Martha much like the older brother, holds deep resentment toward a younger sibling. No, Mary is not IMMORAL and REBELLIOUS, but SHE certainly doesn't have Martha's SENSE of RESPONSIBILITY. She leaves the dishes and chores to her sister so that she can sit at Jesus' feet. WOULDN'T YOU FEEL A LITTLE RESENTFUL, TOO?

Jesus' answer to Martha's demand that HE tell MARY to get busy: "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things. Only one thing is important. MARY has chosen the better things, and it will never be taken away from her"

Is Jesus' point that we not care for our responsibilities? Of course not. But He does remind us that the heart of our faith, our reason for living, is to LOVE and WORSHIP GOD. Nothing else comes first.

When your loveones help or gives advices to friends especially male friend, it doesn't mean she/he is unfaithful or doing immoral acts that will makes us ashamed and feel doing revenge against YOUR will... and Gods' will.

NEVER USED OTHER PEOPLE TO GET SYMPHATY AND ALLOW THEM TO HURT YOUR LOVEONES ON YOUR BEHALF...YOU DONT HAVE TO SHOW THAT YOU'RE THE BEST AND HONEST PERSON ON EARTH. SURE...GOD KNOWS THAT YOU ARE.

Remember that nobody is perfect.

FAITH.....

If you truly and honestly trust, love, and care for your love ones...whatever happens FIRST THINGS FIRST ...hurting or revenge is not a solution for reconciliation. Besides this people you're using are just like a VIRUS designed to corrupt all the programs and hardworked files that made you suffered from hunger, restless, and sleepless nights just to PROTECT them and stored in Your HEART safely as your documents...FOREVER.

The saddest part, even how much you tried hard to retrieve those corrupted files and documents...will a super anti-virus 100% guaranteed to helps you restored those lovedwork documents? I HOPE THEY CAN.

Put this in mind...Just like human BRAIN and HEART...Once damaged there can no possible way to restore it.

PROMISES: God will provide your needs, give your heart's desires. Take on your burdens.And bring you delight in him.
