Philippians 2:4
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Pagka na-disappoint tayo sa tao dahil na-late siya, kulang ang dinala nya, o hindi tama ang ginawa nya, consider the other person’s needs and concerns. Baka may iba siyang need na more compelling than ours kaya hindi tayo sinipot. Or consider other people’s difficulties. Baka hirap na hirap to meet the standard we want. Consider other people’s limitations.
Ang problema natin is we judge people according to our personal standard without respecting them and without giving consideration to their weaknesses and shortcomings. We have to consider other people’s interests as well. Gustung-gusto ko ng ganito, pero iba naman ang interest nya. Disappointed ako sa kanya dahil gustung-gusto kong manood ng basketball, samantalang gusto naman nya ay drama. May karapatan din siyang manood ng drama dahil may iba siyang interest.
Let’s face it, disappointment with other people comes from our selfishness. We like people to be our shadows. Gusto natin na pag gumalaw tayo ay gagalaw sila. Pag tumigil tayo ay titigil sila. Gusto nating gawin ang mga tao na tau-tauhan. Kung gusto mo ng pagkaasim-asim na sinigang, dapat ay gusto rin nya yon. Maraming asawa ang ganun.
“Bakit hindi mo kayang magluto nang katulad ng nanay ko?”
“Ah ganun? E di dun ka na sa nanay mo!”
Kasi ipipilit mo yung sayo, ba’t hindi mo i-respect yung taste ng ibang tao?
If you want disappointment to lose its power over you, then become less and less selfish.
If you are blessed through this ministry, you could now take your turn to be the blessing to many others.
With your helpful support, more people could be reached with the messages of delight, strength and hope.
