Life is Short, Farewell Tino
I ended my day today with sadness in my heart. As me and my spiritual family gather in the church for our prayer meeting, a disturbing news was delivered to us. A former youth member had been stabbed and brought to the hospital. As we heared the news, we immidiately gathered and prayed. After the prayer meeting, his aunt, cousin and younger sister went to the hopital but unfortunatelly when they arrived there, he was already out of life.
Lemuel Relox, also known as Tino, is around 21 years old, at hindi ako makapaniwala sa mura niyang edad ay lilisanin niya ang mundong ito. A part of me is feeling guilt dahil ang daming oras ang nasayang. Kung sana nakausap namin siya at hinikayat na bumalik sa church, siguro iba ang nangyari ngayon. But what is done, is done. The only thing that we can do is to move on and learn the lessons and correct our mistakes in the future.
During the time na may sakit ang Lolo ko, lagi kong nasasabi sa sarili ko na ang lungkot ng buhay. Ipapanganak ka sa mundo, half of your life will be spent in school, after maka-graduate puro naman trabaho, tatanda, mamamatay. Kung sa ibang anggulo mo titignan, parang pointless ang mabuhay sa mundo. Naramdaman ko din na napaka bilis ng oras sa mundo. Sa isang iglap, wverything had changed. People get old, and the old ones becomes older, and the rest are long gone. Ngayong gabi, mas lalo kong nakita kung paanong sa isang iglap ay pwedeng matapos ang lahat.
Life is pointless. Yes. Lalo na kung hindi nating kasama ang Diyos sa buhay natin. The truth is, it is God who give meaning and purpose in our life. For sure, hindi naman tayo ginawa ng Diyos para mabuhay at pagkatapos ay mamatay lang. There is a reason why we are here, and the only way to find that reason is to know God and have an intimate relationship with Him. Pag alam na natin kung ano ang totoong purpose natin sa mundong ito, hindi na masasayang ang lahat ng pagpapagal, pagsusumikap, at pagpapakapagod natin. Because by then, we already know what are the things that matter. And that is to store treasures in Heaven.
P.S. My deepest condolences to Relox family. May the Lord our God give you strength and comfort in this time of mourning.
