Gospel

I do all this for the sake of the gospel, so that I may share in it - 1 Corinthians 9:23

Our life is a mission and so our daily activities are about carrying out the mission entrusted to us by God. Of course, this life is temporary. When we were young, time passed so quickly. Before we realized, it's time for us to take responsibility for our own lives and gradually, we become the primary key responsible for the lives of those closest to us, such as our parents, siblings and so on. 

Amidst the busyness of this world, we sometimes get lost in our daily activities, sometimes we don’t even realize that we are on His mission. Sometimes our missions challenged by unexpected calamities. These events serves to mature our faith and trust, as happened to the prophet Job. Do we realize that everything we do and undertake is an effort to fulfill God's will?

All the good deeds, started from the actions and teachings of Jesus as proclaimed in the Gospel.  Jesus' mission is so that everyone can return to the Father in a holy state so that we can join the inhabitants of the kingdom of heaven someday.  In fact, what God wants is our proving of the teachings of the Gospel, not just memorizing it verses but the most important thing is to reflect and implement, to put in action, these words in our daily lives.  May God bless our intentions.
