In the second of the three part
series Impossible: 3 Things God Cannot
Do, Bro. Jon Escoto, Laguna Feast Builder started with saying that there
are things which are difficult to explain especially those that does not
change, because all things change.
Cellphone, computers, physical
appearance and even message of a song they all change according to Bro. Jon.
Though Bro. Jon emphasized that
there is one thing that does not change and that is the love of God.
“Hindi maaring magbago ang Diyos
because He is God and because of His love for us” Bro. Jon added.
“Minamahal tayo ng Diyos, di dahil
tayo ay kamahal-mahal; minamahal tayo ng Diyos sapagkat Siya’y mapagmahal” Bro.
Jon emphasized.
Bro. Jon even mentioned the
misconception that other people think whenever they commit sins, “Ang akala ng iba
kapag ikaw ay nagkakasala nagagalit ang Diyos sayo –nauubos ang pagmamahal ng Diyos.”
“You cannot do anything that can
make God love you less because He does not change” Bro. Jon added.
Bro. Jon, with reference to the
story of Hosea said “Itakwil, pagtaksilan at kalimutan ka man – ang pag-ibig ng
Diyos ay di magmamaliw.”
He also said that “God does not
change and there is nothing that you can do to make God change His mind about
you.”
Summing up everything that was
discussed about God cannot change, Bro. Jon explained that “Real love changes
people, and the unchanging love of God changes people.”
As a fitting way to end the talk,
Bro. Jon offered a prayer amidst all of the changes that are happening around:
"Sagitna ng pabagobago ng panahon
at mensahe, kahit sa kabila ng pabago-bago kong isip, palagi kang nandyan.
Baguhin mo ang aking isip at puso, ng Iyong di nagbabagong pag-ibig. Turuan Mo akong maging tulad Mo! Overwhelm me
with Your love, embrace me today and the warmth of Your love … ang magpapalambot ng aking puso. My heart will
be left with no choice but to love you with all my life."#
