(two-minute read)
I was contemplating earlier while listening to the "texto" from our minister - about entering in the Holy City...
(in relation to at least for those who have landed a job or looking for a job)
It dawned on me that as we strive to choose and crave to enter our dream company to work with, that as we look or hop from one job to another to find that perfect place of work. Ain't it true that we go through series of interviews? ... We go through series of tests, and even background checks?
There are also times we are sent home from all we thought it's going to be already the job offer, but at the end of the day, we ended up receiving - "we'll keep you posted through call or text on the result of your final interview".
We dread and get anxious as we are nearing final interviews, whether we make or break it. We also get to experience difficulties, sacrifices, we sweat for it, physically, emotionally & mentally - before achieving that goal - to land to that dream job or classified to belong on that chosen company.
As i ponder on these thoughts earlier, it came like a rushing of waterfalls down to my head that entering in the Holy Kingdom of God (applicable for those who believe in faith) is just as difficult as it should, or it is really difficult to accomplish - it's NO EASY task, that is! Because the reward, simply put, is the eternal life - beyond words to compare, beyond imagination to fathom.
Therefore, it is but right to persevere when you have already given the chance to study the truth. It is only right to strive, and deny thyself as needed just so you can prioritize in seeking the truth. Come what may... may it be even hunger, pain or strife, even death - for it will all be worth it, in the end -when you found peace in Him.
