Delight in Him...

Proverbs 24:13     

My son, eat honey, for it is good yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;

know that wisdom is thus for your soul;if you find it, then there will be a future,

and your hope will not be cut off.

     God is so kind, merciful and loving!!! For many months our eldest son, Ramon waited for a new job. Well, it did not really come by at all because he did not apply for any, yet. He said he had some character fixing to be done. Chris and I knew about the circumstances of the previous job and the reasons why he decided to back out from his job. He did not really quit. He just felt he was not the right fit.

     Nothing bitter ever came out of Ramon's mouth. He was   gracious towards his previous employers and he even continued to meet with his previous co workers. He just needed to resolve something in his life stage that he was going through.

     We focused on helping him resolve this 'stage.' I was guilty of being anxious for him. But I remember he was not. He was in search! 

     God touched Ramon's heart and he focused on our Lord God. I don't really know how and when but 'Roni' did experience something really good and personal with our Lord God, that this time, his walk with the Lord is something really intimate, self propelled, not forced by us by the way. I saw genuine joy, his face had brightened up and we sensed a very very strong conviction to grow with the Jesus. In fact, Roni is even very concerned about his buddies. 

     Like a lid made out of lead lifted out of his comfort zone, Roni began to pursue seeking work, this time with a renewed sense of purpose and maturity. He said it was time to move. I understand what he meant by that. When you have the Lord God in your heart, in your life, you get to sense this 'go' signal to move towards the direction you desire. But it is still God's will that prevails. And God , in his love and mercy, blessed Roni with the desires of his heart. 

     He is so kind, full of love. And I am once again humbled, shameful of my anxieties,my lack of faith. What God taught Roni , I pray, will be forever stored in Roni's treasures of learnings to share and to attest to his friends. Not to boast of himself, but to boast of our Lord God's love. 

     Without God, we are really nothing! Let us continue to pray for our loved ones, for one another, for others...
