MAY mga nagsasabing “Pera ang nagpapaikot sa mundo.” Medyo totoo iyan. Kailangan ng pera para makabili ng pagkain at damit, at makapagbayad ng renta o makabili ng bahay. “Talagang napakahalaga ng papel ng pera sa lipunan,” ang isinulat ng isang editor sa pananalapi. “Kung mawawala ang pera bilang pambayad, magkakaroon ng kaguluhan at giyera sa loob lang ng isang buwan.”

Siyempre pa, may mga limitasyon ang pera. Sinabi ng makatang taga-Norway na si Arne Garborg na kung may pera ka, “makabibili ka ng pagkain, pero hindi ng gana; gamot, pero hindi ng kalusugan; malambot na higaan, pero hindi ng tulog; kaalaman, pero hindi ng karunungan; kaningningan, pero hindi ng kagandahan; kasikatan, pero hindi ng pagmamahal; katuwaan, pero hindi ng kagalakan; kakilala, pero hindi ng kaibigan; lingkod, pero hindi ng katapatan.”

Kapag balanse ang pananaw ng isang tao sa pera—na itinuturing itong kasangkapan lang para maabót ang kaniyang tunguhin—magiging kontento na siya. Nagbababala ang Bibliya na “ang pag-ibig sa salapi ay ugat ng lahat ng uri ng nakapipinsalang mga bagay, at sa pag-abot sa pag-ibig na ito ang ilan ay . . . napagsasaksak ng maraming kirot ang kanilang sarili.”—1 Timoteo 6:10.

There is hope: indeed.
Lord Jesus, give us the grace to hear Your voice,
And the strength to continue working for Your kingdom in this time of pandemic. Do not allow us to be indifferent to those who today suffer the loss of a loved one, or who suffer from the absence of work. But give us the courage to accompany and side with those who suffer violence or injustice. Amen.

No matter what, there will always be somebody who will try their hardest to take all that happiness that shines in and out of you; people will hate you even for being good.

3 POWERFUL PRINCIPLES FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Not many people can say that on the day they were saved, someone explained the steps to spiritual growth. Unfortunately, some believers never hear how to develop in their relationship with the Lord. Since none of us matures as a Christian without taking action, Peter instructs believers, “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2Pe 3:18).

1. First, we are responsible for renewing our minds. Though God saves us and gives us a new spirit, it is our duty to control our thoughts and focus our minds on what honors him, so that our minds can be transformed. Therefore, we must meditate on the Word, considering what it means and applying the truth we discover to our lives.

2. Second, we must be ready to admit our failures and assume responsibility for them. When we deny our sins, we delay our spiritual growth. But when we confess our transgressions, the opposite happens – we mature because we admit our dependence upon God. John tells us, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1Jn 1:9).

3. The third step naturally follows the second – after confession should come repentance. This is more than acknowledging wrongdoing or promising to try harder. Repentance means we commit to making an about-face and heading in the opposite direction from our sin. Paul taught, “Repent and turn to God and demonstrate [your] repentance by [your] deeds” (Ac 26:20). Instead of behavior that is unbecoming to a believer, the fruit of the Spirit produced in us – “Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control” (Gal 5:22-23).

God’s ultimate goal is for all believers to become more Christ-like. That happens only when, through faith, we obey his commands and implement his principles.
