Feeling Close

Of course everybody will say na may mga kaibigan sila when I ask kung meron. Kahit ako, I have friends. I treat them as family. Because that's what friendship is all about: BROTHERLY LOVE.

There are some who choose their friends according to their race, color, breed, etc. When someone from these enter our circle of friends, we say, "Feeling Close?" When someone we don't know approaches us we usually respond the same or sometimes, nagrereact tayo like, "Hala? Sino 'yun? Weird.."

Paano tayo mahahanap ng REAL FRIENDS natin, if us, through others, we judge people easily? What our problem is, choosy lang talaga tayo..

Si Adam, 'di hinayaan ni God na mag-isa. Kaya nga may Eve. God created man to be relational with each other. Not just intimate relationship, but BROTHERLY FRIENDSHIP. Being one starts with FRIENDSHIP, and friendship starts with RELATIONSHIP.

If someone speaks his opinion, encourage everyone. If someone opens up, listen. Build each other up, kahit 'di mo kilala, makipagkaibigan ka. That's why Jesus told us to be stewards and make disciples of all nations. How can we disciple or build relationships kung pipiliin lang natin mga taong kinakausap natin? :) 

I'm not saying na lahat kaibiganin natin, it's just that know the person first before judging. Let's be approachable, and can be approached by someone. :)

Feeling close pa, o hindi na?

Glory to God above everything else. May His peace, favor, grace and love empower us to build up everyone and start a nation with unity. Amen.
