Saturday (October 26): "Unless you repent - you will perish"

Scripture: Luke 13:1-9 

There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus? I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, `Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why  should it use up the ground?'  And he answered him, `Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure. And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'"

Reflection:

Dilí lamang kon pasaylo sanan pagbag’o natô sa atô mga kinabuhi an gusto ni God kondili an pagkasalbar natô sa kasay’anan.

Waya’y dakô o gamay na kasa’anan para kan God basta an kagustohan lamang Nija na masalbar kita.

Mahal kita karajaw ni God amo na gusto Nija ipadayag an Ija gugma pinaagi nan Ija pagpasaylo datô.

Amo na kinahanglan mosuod gajud kita kan God para kita Nija pasayloon.

"Lord Jesus, increase my hunger for you that I may grow in righteousness and holiness. May I not squander the grace of the present moment to say "yes" to you and to your will and plan for my life."
