Still Chosen
May mga bagay na itinatabi natin… at may mga bagay na tuluyan nating itinatapon. Yung mga dating mahalaga pero ngayon hindi na natin kailangan.
A few years ago, I had a dream where I was in a room with some children. May biglang dumating sa bintana—parang crane na may basket sa dulo—at para bang may gustong kumuha sa mga bata mula sa loob. A few days later, I saw a very familiar tractor with a similar basket, pero instead of people, basura pala ang laman nito.
Napaisip ako doon.
At that time, I was reading stories about children who grow up without parents, some living in orphanages, others abandoned because their families couldn’t care for them anymore. And it made me think not just about them, but about how people sometimes see children today—as extra burden, extra expense, extra stress.
So, why am I sharing this? Because in reality, all of us were once like those abandoned children in some way. But God adopted us into His family. Ang magandang ginawa ni Jesus noong namatay Siya sa cross ay ginawa Niya tayong bahagi ng pamilya ng Diyos. Sa Kanya, we are not abandoned or rejected—not trash or a burden, but loved and accepted.
Gaya ng sinasabi sa Hosea 2:23, yung mga dating “not mine” ay tinatawag na ngayon na “mine.” That kind of love changes everything.
Try saying this: “Kahit sa paningin ng mundo parang wala tayong silbi o parang basura lang, sa mata ng Diyos, mahalaga tayo at tinatawag Niyang Kanya.”
Tandaan mo, isa kang miracle!
