"SoMedaY"

     "What's rational teaches us that we have nothing to wait but further
destitution, betrayal, suppression and slavery. What's rational teaches us not
to waste our time hoping for the promised relief that will never come and will not
happen. What's rational teaches us to have faith in ourselves, be unified, in one
accord and purpose to find the wickedness that is pervading in our society."

      From the hero who was a victim of injustice, which was supposed to be the

first president of the Philippines but murdered because of envy and hungry for power,

Andres Bonifacio.

      He said that because he wanted to open the minds of the people, the meaning

of it against perversion and incorrectness. And at his hope that is gradually losing to

alter what he's noticed back then. Maybe the Christ that he heard at that time is not

tantamount as what we have heard today that gives peace, salvation, and hope to

those who will come to Him. In conclusion, he said, "be unified..-to find the wickedness

that is pervading." He said that because there's nothing to do in such wickedness but

to change it and implement righteousness. Why?

      If a man is experiencing suffering because of the profanity and repression in the
hands of others, that will thrust him in having an uprise to conquer, and change it to
what's just, that God has set to happen in His time.

      A typical individual would say, "So what? I wasn't there, and it's more than a
century ago." Don't you know that that thing is the reason why you're tasting such
freedom right now? That their revolt and revolution they've done was proffered to their
Creator, to the God that they don't truly known because it was perverted when it was
presented to them? That our heroes are hoping that evil will end someday and they will
experience the propriety that they're aspiring for? To live with dignity, equality, respec-
ting one's rights and most of all, for the glory of God who controls all things.

     We have savored so much the result of their fight that led to our liberty to this
day, that has been deprived to them when they are still alive. Did they receive such
reward because they offered their lives? Like as Christ that He gave His life so that we
could receive the gift of eternal life which He has provided. If we will scrutinize, Jesus
Christ is not only a God who saves. He's also a hero who fought against all kinds of
evil that's permeating in this world. It happen and He became victorious when He was
nailed to the cross, died, and lived again. He sacrificed His life for the order and the
common good of all.

     "So what's the point?", the intelligent reader will ask as they continue reading. What
was the reason why He offered His life? Aside from saving us from our sins? It is stated
from the Bible that Jesus Christ, "will judge the poor fairly and defend the rights of the 
helpless, He will rule His people with justice and integrity*, God has put his Spirit upon
Him, and He will bring justice to the nations." All of that has been transpired when He
walked here on earth. And our heroes made it an example in following it, of what Jesus
has made.

      What does the author what to point out?

      There are two things he want to emphasize.

      To be God-fearing, other terms, theocratic, and to be patriotic.

      Going back, in the time that our heroes are living, they were patriotic, offered them-
selves to fought against poverty, opression, slavery, inequality. But they don't know how
to call to the true God.

      And we, at this time, knowing the true God., who made the heavens and the earth,
who is powerful and displays His love for us (does others truly know Him?). But the sense
of patriotism has been set aside because others became selfish and boastful. It hurts but
it's true. Always. And others, which is quite very saddening, neither of the two things that
has been stated is part of their minds (are you one of them?). Others are abusing the things
that are the result of the freedom that they've got because of a moribund way of their lives,
which our heroes didn't thought of when they were still alive. They live simply like Christ.

      How does this two can be united?

      Actually, those two are intertwined, but it's either others are not doing the former,
the latter or the worst, both of the two. Why? We have been accustomed to the perception
that we must first think of ourselves. Reckoning the fact that you can't give what you don't
have. That means you have to acquire. Right?

      But when it becomes immoderate, becomes bad. And many of us are doing this in
our generation. Gone was the fact that we are living on hard times but that is we're pulling
ourselves down. We see the greatness and the power of God, and His character. Jesus
Christ, His deity, we comprehend it and what His very true plans and acts in this world is
we, sometimes, aiming for. God Has shown us what is good, and what does He requires,
to do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with Him.*

      How does it is undone?

      Perhaps others are focusing at themselves, busy, or the sad fact, ignorant of what's
happening in their surroundings. They don't know what they don't know. Or maybe they
are oblivious at the fact that justice and compassion also a part of God's character that
should be in the traits of His followers, doesn't it?

      Remember, Jesus is always knocking at the door of your heart waitinjg for you to
open and accept Him in your life. This are for those who people who doesn't know Him
yet.

      Why did the writer include that? 

      It's because when Christ governs your life, by changing the inner attitudes of your
heart and mind can change the outer facets of your lives.

      And for those who know Him, we should affirm our faith, that He's real. Moreover,
let's contemplate the things that are happening in our circle, especially in our country
at how Jesus will perceive it and what could He possibly do.

     And when we comprehend it with such apprehension and lucidity, we could say that
we, are not now living for ourselves. We're also living for others. Because it is no longer
us who lives but it is Christ who lives in us.*

     And in what way can we evince this in following Him? Aside from going to church,
give your tithe, meditate His word and walk in His ways?

    That is, by thinking and reaching others. That we consider the welfare of others, who
are in dire need we could help at at any cost in the things that an individual is incapable
of. Whether it is wisdom, knowledge, strength, prayers, whatever.(in pecuniary terms,
it depends).

    Yes, we have different books we are writing, different stories that everyone's doing,
but it should not hinder us in reaching others.

     In the end, what's important is not what you have reached in this life. What weighs
most is what have you done. Like our heroes. Our God will be more pleased if those who
are experiencing poverty are diminishing, peasants receive their lots, adhering human
rights, justice served to those who deserve, giving quality education, peace, righteous
governance that fears God, people who are praying.

     And this is defined in one single word.

     RATIONALISM.

     That is not set aside. That the paradoxical sense of what "Andy" has been said
earlier will be rectified. That everyone of us may partake to let the will of God happen
here, through us who knows Him very well. If you love the country where you were born
you'll be the one who will initiate it, not forgetting the people around you. Because what
you have done to the least of my brethren, you do it unto me, as Jesus stated.

     As "Andy" adds, "true faith in God is defined by loving the country that where you
were born, because this is the real essence of loving others."

    Whether you are rich or poor, stop being hypocrite, don't be ignorant.

    You are also also not exempted as being a believer, you'll just stay spiritual, and enjoy
the goodness of the Lord. Well, it's good to appreciate it, but remember, we are still on
earth. Let yourself be a blessing to others also. Let us demonstrate the will of God to
manifest here on earth as it is in heaven.

    And you. Yes. The one who reads this very, very, lengthy writing. (haha). Make this in
your mind to be a patriotic person who knows God that executes righteousness that He
has given. The fight that our heroes from did from the start is not yet finished. There's
nothing at risk if you do it.

    Because until now, the system is still perverted.

    Hoping you've understand this, better to be a reflection in the coming heroes day
and holy week. Actually,this thing is not only for that season, it's for life.

    If not, open your eyes.
