"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~my own reality

1:20 am local time. I look out the window and see a wide expanse of city lights. My heart and thoughts return back to Pampay. To the light bulb on a wire used to light out gathering point last Sunday night as we shared a meal with our brothers and sisters in Pampay. I long for simpler times, and wonder, once again, how to return to my own reality.
