"Pupunta ako ng church, magsisimba ako." the wife said.

"Hindi!" the husband said.

"Pupunta ako!" the wife said again.

"Hindi nga pwede!" the husband replied.

"Pupunta nga ako sabi e!" the wife replied with conviction.

The husband immediately get a gun and pointed it in his wife's head.

"Pupunta ka o babarilin kita?!" the man threatened his wife.

Then...

"PAG IPINUTOK MO YAN, sigurado ako na sa langit ang punta ko. PERO KAPAG HINDI MO IPINUTOK YAN? Church pa din ang dako ko. Tahanan pa din ng Diyos ang tatahakin ko." the woman stated.

And at that very moment, everything changed.

Her husband's life changed.

And as of now? The wife doesn't go to church every sunday alone anymore. She is with her husband. Serving God together.

-The End.

(Based on true story.)

That story is what our pastor shared and discussed in his homily yesterday. It is based on a true story. I was indeed amazed. Eventhough it was just short, I was stunned on how the story ended.

This story simply proves and tells us that:

Love can change you and even the people around you.

If you love someone, you want nothing but the best for them. You wish good things for them too.

Just like how the wife loves her husband. That eventhough he threatened her, she still tried her best to change and let him meet God. Simply because she loves her husband and she wants nothing but the best for him.

Just like how the wife loves God too. She is persistent enough to be with God. To spend her everyday with God.

Love is indeed powerful that it can move mountains. It can really make something happen. It is magical which can make things posible.

Faith is as powerful as love.

If you have faith, especially faith to our almighty God, you will never be afraid to face everything. You will be brave enough to surpass another obstacle that life may throw at you. You will be indestructible.

Just like how amazing the faith of the wife is. Her faith is unbelievably marvelous. She knows that God will never leave her. She simply knows where she's belong. That even how bad her husband is, she believes that God can change him. She believes that God can really make a change.

You can be the reason to change the lives of your love ones.

This is actually the main point of the story. You can be the reason to change the lives of your love ones. With love and faith to God and to your love ones, you can actually make a change. You can change them. And of course, for the better.

Just like how the wife being the reason for her husband to change. It was magical. She became the reason why her husband's life changed. Why he became a better person. And most specially, why he met God.

Thoughts:

I am not perfect. Of course no one's perfect. Eventhough I am attending church every sunday, I still commit mistakes. I am a sinner.

But you know what's good? I admitted that I am a sinner. I am always asking forgiveness to God. And most of all, I accepted Him as my own savior.

I am glad that God used someone to change my life. And I am forever grateful that I met Him. That He saved a wretch like me. That I became a sinner saved by His amazing grace.

Realization:

Anyone can be a reason to change someone's life. Anyone can be a reason to change the lives of their love ones. May it be a man or a woman. An average or prominent person. A child or adult. Anyone. It is just a matter of love and faith.
