Matanda: "Patatawarin!"
Normal and natural scenario of Christmas season. People reject kids that sings Christmas carols. 'Yung iba ang dahilan, pangit ang boses, walang effort, etc. Ah, hello po? 'Di po ito contest. Hehe. Anyway..
In another perspective from God, "Patatawarin" is a good thing. Why? This word..this BIG word, is a good gift for children who ask for something this Christmas season. Why? It's not for them to go away ('di ko sinasabing gawin niyo para itaboy sila), but for them to be saved. How?
"Patatawarin...kayo ni God if you learn to confess your sins and accept Him as your Lord and Savior. He will make you feel secured. Make you feel encouraged and alive everyday." If our motives of patatawarin is like this, surely we will glorify our Savior.
Call to disciple and lead them to God for their salvation. That's the real 'patatawarin' means. Hindi rejection sa mga bata. Patatawarin, then explain and win souls. Children on their young age grasp things easily. They understand easy. God made this for them so that they may grasp fully the message of the gospel. At ages 4-15, they will listen, and ages 16 and above, they will apply them. :)
How good is it that little children get to know God at their young age and get to have an intimate relationship with our Creator? Real good and it brings in us uplifting spirit. But most of all, expect there are big, big, rejoicing in heaven on what we did for this children. As Jesus had said, "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." | Matthew 19:14
Patatawarin, is not a rejection, but a call for God's salvation. :) Real Christmas means Christ's death on the cross to free us from sins, and in Him through His resurrection, we can have eternal life.
Glory to our Lord above in all ends of the earth! May His compassionate and loving heart be like our hearts and never be filled with selfishness, anger, rage, irritation, etc. this Christmas season. Merry CHRISTmas! Amen! :)
