KARMA OUT - MIRACLE IN

I've been hearing the word "KARMA" being used in everyday situation. More often, that word pops out in our vocabulary whenever we feel oppressed or disadvantaged by someone. It is a concept that sprang from the cultures of Hindus and Buddhists, that is: " I do the good things I do with a somewhat personal motive - that others may return the goodness, or that life may reward my goodness even more." Aside from knowing today that such word is very UN-FILIPINO, I learned that it is also UN-CHRISTIAN.

One of the realities of life in this world is that there are times, that you'll notice that "LIFE IS NOT FAIR." It is because there will always be people who will take advantage of your innocence or kindness. Be that as it may, We Christians should follow the doctrine of doing "UNCONDITIONAL GOODNESS." I'm not suggesting that we should allow ourselves to be bullied or fooled by anyone. What I'm saying is that we should instead learn from it so that we can avoid such scenario the next time around and more importantly, that should not stop us from doing good things. And that my friend, is a MIRACLE in this modern times. Yes, you can do it. MIRACLES ARE REAL. If you want to see a Miracle, BE THE MIRACLE by doing Good Things to others - without expecting good things in return. Starting today, it's - "KARMA OUT; MIRACLE IN."

Let's make God smile today...

Reference: Book of Matthew 5: 46-48 NLT

"⁴⁶ If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. ⁴⁷ If you are kind only to your friends,^[t] how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. ⁴⁸ But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect."
