How would you feel if you knew that you have that effect on someone or let’s say, you helped change her/him into a better person? Maybe you’ll be overwhelmed or proud. As for me, I’m just happy.
For the past 5 years, I’ve been thinking about my purpose and how I can be God’s instrument. And now I see that truly things work together for good. There were times that I feel like I’m a failure as a Christian but God didn’t let me feel that way. This year, we were destined to live with a group of teenagers who lost their way to the world. They were really enjoying themselves in worldly matters and taking their lives for granted. At first, we tried to let them go their way and continue to live the good life. And then, something happened. We became friends. Scary isn’t it? We might have been influenced by their ways, but no, we weren’t.
Lately, they realized that they have to change for their future and slowly I was seeing that change in them. They’re now serious with their studies, they take advices from us, they listen if I warn them to not do that because it might cause some problems in their life. And what struck me is when one of them told me these words:
“You know what, we see that you’re really good children and you’re successful. Not like us, we waste time and money and we’re a failure to our parents. We wanted to change that, we wanted to be like you. You and your sisters are our eye openers.”
Whew! I hadn’t expected that. I pondered upon her words and I realized that God put us in the right place. Somehow, we have guided some lost souls. And I’m so happy that I found my purpose. I’m not really worthless after all. I’m special.
