Part 1
Hello, Life in a Minute time again, welcome everyone. This is Emily to give you a dose of inspiration.
Kaya mo bang i-sacrifice ang sarili mong anak to save others? Hindi realistic kung iisipin no, pero listen to this. Kinuwento ng isang matanda, may mag-ama raw na nagmangka kasama yung kaibigan ng anak nya. Inabutan sila ng malakas na bagyo, halos lumubog sila. Hawak nung ama yung rescue line, pero isa lang ang pwede nyang pagbigyan nito para ma-save. Kanino niya kaya ibibigay, sa anak nya or sa kaibigan nito. Mahirap na decision, it would really take faith and courage to do it.
Well, tingnan natin ang ending ng story later, so please keep it right here.
Part 2
Hi, ako pa rin si Emily, with Life in a Minute, welcome back sa continuation natin ngayon.
Ending na ng story natin kanina. Isa lang ang pwedeng iligtas nung father, diba. Tiwala siya na pagnamatay yung anak nya, sa langit ang punta nito, kaya mas pinili nyang iligtas yung friend ng anak nya. As in hopeful yung father na posible ring maging Christian ito, kasi hindi nya rin ito matiis at makitang mamatay na walang relationship kay Jesus. You know, hindi nga siya nagkamali, naging pastor at talagang naglingkod sa Dios itong kaibigan ng anak nya. Pero hindi naging madali yung decision nung father, at ito yung totoong sacrifice.
Okay, medyo malalim ba ang message natin. Sige, I’ll be back for more, so please stay tuned.
Part 3
Hello, I’m back, Emily. Thanks dahil nandyan pa rin kayo for Life in a Minute.
Hindi raw tunay ang pag-ibig kung walang sacrifice. Kung talagang mahal mo ang isang tao, ready kang gawin lahat para sa kanya. Ang Dios natin friend, ganyan din. Imagine yung hirap ng kalooban nya when He gave away Jesus, kaisa-isang anak, para maligtas tayo. Sana maging seryoso tayo dito at pahalagahan natin ito. Ayaw ng Dios na mapahamak tayo kaya kahit Anak, willing Nyang i-sacrifice, all because of love. Sana kahit papano, nasusuklian naman atin yung pag-ibig nya no.
Well, this has been Emily, your friend here on Life in a Minute. Listen again next time.
