What Matters Most

FACT: 50 years after you die, no one will remember you.

So why obsess with that person that left that nasty comment on your
post?
Why be agitated by that officemate that gossips about you?
Why even give time thinking about whether people like you or not?
Why even give energy to your hurt feeling because someone didn't
thank you for your help?
In the end, only two great things matter (according to Jesus):
Love God.
Love your neighbor.
That's it.
Everything else will vanish.
So, have a love-filled Feast!
May your dreams come true,

Personal Reflection and Group Sharing:
1. Who are the hungry people you need to feed in your community?
2. What talent do you have that you’ll offer to God so it makes a
difference in your community, in your city, and in the world?
It’s All I’ve Got
I had insecurities.
Even in serving God.
One day, He assigned me to do a challenging mission. I said, “Lord,
I’m not very talented. Other people are better at doing this work. Why me?”
In my mind, He said, “Oh, they’re too busy. Besides, you’re available.
I know you’ll say yes.”
Me: “But these are the only talents you gave. So, I have nothing else
to offer.”
Lord: “That’s okay. In your weakness, I’ll be your strength.”
Me: “Okay. If you say so.”
Yup. That’s how simple my conversation with Him was.
Friend, just give what you have to Jesus. He will take care of the rest.
Be joyful always,
Edward Marcel
