KEEP YOUR FOCUS

"And they will condemn him to death, and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified." - Matthew 20:18,19

I was on the way to Batangas to pick up my 12-year old son from his summer youth camp. The highway was almost empty because it was a Sunday and Manny Pacquiao also had a boxing match that morning. The skies were clear, the radio played good music and the scenery was peaceful. It was such a relaxing drive that I missed my toll exit. I had no choice but to make a U-turn. I lost time and money because I got too comfortable.

I changed my attitude as I re-entered the highway. This time, I was more alert so wouldn't miss the right exit. I arrived at the campsite only a few minutes late.

It's the same with our lives. Sometimes, we forget to focus and we get lost when life gets too comfortable. if you experience trials and life seems hard, simply be alert and focus on Jesus so you may reach your destination. Jesus also experienced difficulties. He was persecuted, mocked, scourged and crucified. Yet, He remained focus on His mission so that we may receive the gift of salvation. - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
