WHAT DO YOU SEE, HEAR AND SPEAK?

Many people have started saying, "Thank God is Friday." What is really special about Friday? Are foods given free in the restaurant? Are treatment given free in the hospital? Do people make calls free with their network provider? Whatever it is, thank God is Friday. 😂

Well, that's not what I want to talk about today. Have you tried to watch your favourite program on television and the audio is not functional? How did you feel when you only saw the people moving without hearing what they were saying? 😂 😂 😂

Okay! That was exactly the situation of the deaf man in the gospel of Mark 7, 31-37. In fact, but not for the benevolence and good will of his friends and relations, he would have missed Jesus. Our neighbours are important. Treat them well 👍🏻

Sadly though, when he was brought before Jesus, he didn't understand exactly what was happening until Jesus put His fingers into his ears and touched his tongue with spittle.

It dawned on him at that moment that Jesus was healing him of his deafness and his speech impediment. Now, the fundamental question is: what is he going to hear from then on, and what is he going to speak? Incredible! 😳😳😳

Fortunately enough, you and I reading this reflection now, can see, hear, and speak. But then, another important question crop up: What do we see, what do we hear, and what do we speak? Must we look at everything? Must we listen to everything? Must we say everything? Think, my dear friend(s) 🙈🙉🙊.

Many people would argue that it didn't start today, because in Genesis 3,1-8, instead of Eve to listen to the commandments of God, she was listening to antics of the devil. What a world! 😡

My dear friend(s), I prayed for you today, may God help you to see only the good, hear only the pleasant news, and speak only the truth and good news. May God close the eyes of those who are looking for you to harm you. May He close the ears of those who are waiting to hear bad news against you. May He also seal the mouth of those spreading false information about you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have resumed my pineapple juice therapy 😁😁😁😜. Make sure you eat well before you leave your house. I love you 😘😘😘

Good morning!
