"75 PERCENT"

a personal reflection on Mark 4:1-20

May apat na pwedeng mangyari sa iyo. Tatlo doon ay hindi maganda. That's 3 out of 4 scenarios. There is a 75% chance that the devil & the world will beat you!

• SCENARIO 1 - "some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it" (Mark 4:4)
• SCENARIO 2 - "Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, & immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil; when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away." (Mark 4:5-6)
• SCENARIO 3 - "Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain" (Mark 4:7)
• SCENARIO 4 - few seeds are blessed "because they fell into good soil and brought forth grain" (Mark 4:8)

Isa lang ang maayos na scenario dyan. There is only one out of four or a 25% chance that you will land in good soil where you can experience "growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold & a hundredfold" (Mark 4:8)

So how is that considered the GOOD NEWS? It looks like you are more likely to fail than succeed. Paano yan naging magandang balita?

Una, yan ay MAGANDANG BALITA dahil sa lahat ng scenario ay kasama mo si Kristo. Ganyan ka nya kamahal. He will never leave you. Pangalawa, yan ay MAGANDANG BALITA dahil hindi tayo mga binhi o buto lang na andun lang kung saan iniwan. Tayo ay mga tao na pwedeng magdesisyon at kumilos.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE!

So whatever your situation is, do something to move to the good soil. Do not allow your bad situation to stop God's wonderful plan for your life!

Your chances may be small & risky. But if you're choosing Jesus then you are on the right path. You can do it as long as you're with Jesus. Read Philippians 4:13. Trust in God & #RiseUp from wherever you are!

Have a blessed Day! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
