You are Mine

Chapter 15 Vocation Talk

You Are Mine by David Haas

I will come to you in the silence
I will lift you from all your fear
You will hear My voice
I claim you as My choice
Be still, and know I am near

I am hope for all who are hopeless
I am eyes for all who long to see
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light
Come and rest in Me

Chorus:
Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine

I am strength for all the despairing
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free
And all will know My name

Chorus:
Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine

I am the Word that leads all to freedom
I am the peace the world cannot give
I will call your name, embracing all your pain
Stand up, now, walk, and live

Chorus:
Do not be afraid, I am with you
I have called you each by name
Come and follow Me
I will bring you home
I love you and you are mine

Nakita kong habang kumakanta ako, matamang nakatitig sakin si Kuya Niel, ano na naman kaya ang nasa isip niya??

" In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit .. Amen .. Heavenly Father - we ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever .. Amen .. " paglead ko sa prayer

" Okay! Good Afternoon once again, nakalimutan ko palang ipakilala sa inyo si Brother Niel, isa siyang 4th Year Theologian .. Tinutulungan niya kami ngayon sa aming vocation talk .. "

" Good Afternoon Brother .. " bati naman nila

" Okay, since ngayon lang tayo nagkita .. I want you to introduce yourselves here in front .. Complete name, age, and the reason why you came here .. Okay let's start with you dear .. "

Nagsimula na silang mag-introduce ng mga sarili nila, 18 years old ang pinaka-youngest na nag-attend at 25 naman ang pinaka-matanda .. Mga 20 young ladies din ang dumalo sa aming vocation talk ..

" Okay .. Thank you everyone .. We will now proceed to our talk .. First talk is about the CALLER .. Siyempre, hindi naman natin maiintindihan ang calling natin kung hindi natin kilala kung sino ang tumatawag sa atin .. "

At ipinagpatuloy ko ang pag-introduce kay Hesus sa kanila .. Nakikinig naman sila sa mga sinasabi ko ..

" Siyempre, bago natin talakayin ang Tatlong Uri ng Bokasyon, let us define what is the meaning of Vocation first .. " pagsisimula ko sa pangalawang topic

" Okay .. Vocation came from the Latin word ' Vocare ' whicg means ' to call ' .. Sino nga ba ang tinatawag ng Diyos?? Ang mga mayaman?? Ang mga mahirap?? Ang mga mababait?? Yes dear?? " pagpapatuloy ko

" Ang mga makasalanan po Sister .. " sagot ng isa pang searcher

" Tama! Sabi nga ni Jesus, I didn't came for the righteous but instead I came for sinners .. And remember na ang tinawag niya upang maging tagasunod niya ay ang mga makasalanan .. Diba?? "

" Opo .. "

" Okay .. Next .. The three kinds of vocation ..
First is Married Life, Second is Single Blessedness and the third is Religious or Consecrated Life .. Married Life, ito yung?? "

" Buhay may asawa po Sister .. " sagot ng isang searcher

" Tama .. Buhay may asawa .. Married Life is also a vocation .. In married life, you can still serve God in your own unique ways and make sure that your Married Life will be Christ-centered .. Next one is, Single Blessedness .. What is Single Blessedness ?? "

" Yung hindi ka po nag-asawa at hindi ka din po nagmadre o nagpari .. " sagot nung isang youth

" Tama, in Single Blessedness, you serve God without committing yourself to marriage or religious life .. You also need to make Christ the center of your life .. Third is Religious Life .. Ano nga ba ang tinatawag na Religious Life o Consecrated Life?? "
