Just want to share this clip I found on a social network site:
Only Faith is Needed
I am Ben. In these days I began to work far away from my home with a minimum salary of P23, 000 a month, I work 12 hours a day with 6 days a week, and my only rest day is Sunday, our time for Watchtower Study and Public Talk. After one month, one Sunday I went to Kingdom Hall, and thinking about myself saying: “I must be happy, unlike the others; I am always regular in Kingdom Hall every Sunday.” After several minutes when the meeting starts, the chairman says: “Please stand up for us to praise with our kingdom song no. 40 “Keep On Seeking First the Kingdom” based on Matthew 6:33”
…
After the meeting, a man called John said to me these words: “I feel very refresh about the interesting bible inspirations and other modern experience of our brother and sisters, I hope you too.” Then I response saying: “Yes, hope that our public talk tonight would help me too.” And then he said: “See you tomorrow in field service bro.”Then again I say: “Yes…well…umm…maybe you can see me but my schedule is not tomorrow, I have to go to my work.” He now said: “Oh, so that’s it. I hope you will also find a good time for doing your needed works my friend. But I feel that you’re so busy now, so I suggest that if you will, make me your partner in Sunday, and after the field service, I want you to be with me in my RVs.” Then I say: “Sure, why not. I will go now, bye.” He turned: “Bye.”
…
When got home, when I am getting sleep in my bed, my eyes got closed then I hear a voice saying: “Hello, are you there? What are you doing Ben?” I say: “Who are you?” Then it answered: “We are so busy doing our task to preach the good news of the Kingdom by these flocks of witnesses.” Then I turned saying: “But what is it that I have to hear?” He said: “We, angels are busy, Jesus Christ our Lord is so busy, and our God, Jehovah is so busy, how about you, are you busy?” Then I say: “Yes” And then he says: “In what way?” After he asks me, I don’t know that it was now morning, my mother waked me up saying: “Son, you are dreaming again, you’re late in your work.” But I say: “Mom, even I got late on my work, it will not affect things, but now I feel I’m becoming more late and unpunctual in my task doing God’s will, I have no more reality, I will now pray for Jehovah’s blessings and then after this days, I will resign. Remember the bible text Matthew 6:33?” Then she says: “Ben, it is not practical for you to decide like that, it is not that easy.” But I turned saying: “Maybe yes and maybe not, mother. But Jehovah is not a human, Jehovah is the Almighty God. Only faith is needed, all things is possible, yes, I repeat it, only faith is needed.”
I am working shift so I understand how you feel, are you able to enjoy the time.
