Five more days and I am going back to my home at Rizal. The excitement is relived every time that I was here in laguna and the boredom already attacked me. “I want to go home already”, it’s the same statement that is in my head after some days of stay here in laguna. I feel like I missed a lot of things, people, events and opportunities every time that I was here in laguna to render my services and act on my responsibility as an employee of the company. Although the advantage of being here is I have a lot of time to have a rest since I don’t have to travel a far and for an hour just to go home since my “hotel” where I stay is just around the corner of the resort but the thing is, “I am alone” (physically) and I have to fight the boredom. There’s a lot of things to be thankful, actually I was thankful that the LORD had given me this opportunity to have a rest whenever I was assigned here in laguna but when Saturday and Sunday comes, i felt sad every time I realized that it supposedly the time that I must spent in serving HIM and just because of my work I had missed a lot of time and privileges. It sounds like I was complaining but definitely not, I know the reality and truth that if ever I was here in laguna, it was never been meant to make me “alone” and to feel “lonely” but there is a purpose that the LORD had for me. One thing that I always pray is that The LORD always reveal to me the purpose of my stay here in laguna. Yes, it might be because of my duty as an employee that I was here but looking unto it in a deeper perspective only shows that HE has a purpose. So what is that purpose? After four days of thinking, late night sleep (actually very late that I was sleeping in about 3am up to 4am in the morning) and hours of staring at the ceiling of my room, the LORD make me realized one truth, “Whenever, Wherever and Whatever I am doing, It is an opportunity for me to serve HIM”. It’s all depend of what is inside my heart and who is inside in it?
The reality, the privilege to serve the LORD had never been lost, its only us who thinks we lost it. We lost the so-called “privilege to serve the LORD” whenever we think that what we are doing whether it is a work or study is a not a way of serving HIM. We only lost the opportunity to serve the LORD whenever our work takes out our desire, passion and love for the LORD. The only thing that we lost as much as I experience together with other working Christian Professionals whenever we work is the fellowship with the brethren. That fellowship that we missed is something that might be good specially when it bring us to have a heart who is longing to have a fellowship and a deep understanding that we need the presence of our brethren to keep the burning desire of continuing in walking on God’s path (Holiness and Righteousness). But, most important thing is our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, If we have a good, better and continuously growing relationship with our LORD and SAVIOR, we will never feel that we our alone. We might be alone “physically” as per humans perspective but in reality, as “Christian” and “servant of Christ”, He will always be with us and never leave us so that we will never be alone.
This is some of the things that the LORD had taught me as I spent time in meditating HIS Word and evaluating things. I was excited to go home, excited to be in the place where the LORD is, excited to experience the fellowship with the brethren and together we will be serving HIM. To YAHWEH be all the glory, honor, praise and worship.
