Akala natin ok na. Akala natin masasalo na tayo. Akala natin….

Di po ito advertisement ng insurance company o anu pa man. Akala. Alam nyu ba na madami nagkakamali dahil sa word na “akala”? Wag nyu na ipatranslate sa english, bka magiba tayo bigla ng topic.

I encountered my first downfall since nung nagencounter ako. Hindi naman downfall na gumawa ako ng bagay na masama. Pero downfall sa invitations and winning ng souls…Akala ko kasi ok na, hindi pa pla.. ^^.,

I had invited several persons sa isang Church sa Manila. I was so excited kasi they all agreed para pumunta. Pero that day, nobody showed up. Di ko alam, hindi naman ako late (Maxado), hindi naman ako mukang taong grasa (weh?) at higit sa lahat pogi naman ako.. Jowk lang. Masama pala magsinungaling.. ^^,.

Den naalala ko ung story ng Parable of the Great Banquet. Luke 14:12-24. Ung story is about a Lord that invited many friends to a banquet. Everybody commited and everybody said yes but at the actual event, puro excuses. Akala ni Lord pupunta sila. So the Lord invited the other people, the weak, the lame, the blind, the poor and other kinds of people para sila ung maging bisita nya..

There has been so many depictions sa story na to. Parable kasi, anu magagwa natin? Hehe.. Pero ako, i think, in my own point of view, this is a way of God telling us that if we invite people for a great celebration, (like birthdays, debut, anniversary, specially sunday service), let us not expect too much from them kasi bka in the end sabihin nang natin “akala ko kasi” sabay kamot ng ulo. Para sakin, pinakita ni God ung madalas mangyari sa mga ganitong okasyon. So what should we do? Ewan ko, invite nyo ko, ubusin ko pagkain dyan.

Kidding aside, what should we really do? Kelangan ba tayong umiyak sa sulok ng bahay natin o maghapong sisihin ang sarili natin sa salamin dahil sa nangyari -( “Ikaw kasi , kala mo ang ganda ganda mo dami mo ininvite na boys kulay champorado ka naman!!”)( “huhuhu,, bakit ganito, wala bang himala?”), etc, etc ,etc…

Alam nyu dapat gawin? Do what God did in that parable. Diba naginvite padin xa ng ibang tao? Mostly di pa nya kilala and mostly kakaiba pa para sa lipunan. But still he did not hesitate. Deretso padin xa nang deretso. Kasi sayang nga naman ung food, mapapanis. E baka wala pa silang ref nun. ^^, Stone age pa ata.

Seriously, PEOPLE, do what God has done in this parable. Kanina nanglumo ako na gusto ko iuntog ung ulo ko sa bintana ng bus habang pauwi ako ng cavite. Pero hindi ko gnawa, baka magmuka ako sira ulo. Nanghinayang ako kasi I inivited people pero di nakarating ung iba and ung iba medyo di pa ready ung heart nila. But INSPITE of those things, I have been reminded uli kanina, na continue surging forward. Forget the past and move on. Haha.. kala mo nabasted uli no? Invite lng..

Just now kachat ko ung classmate ko nung high school na si Ms. Danica Puro (clap clap clap).. I told her my encouter kay God by the Doulos Church and she was amazed and blessed, lalo na sa problem nya naun. To nica, Do not worry (Mat 6:25-34). Papasa ka dyan!!..

regarding sa title.. bakit ganun… un nlng sabihin nyu naun.. kasi dapat title pla nito “akala”. ^^,.
