Word for the day

Totoo sa sinasabi
Alisin ang alinlangan
Pangako, walang iwanan
Alaala lagi
Taos sa puso

Ito ang natutunan ko ngayong umagang ito - ang salitang tapat
.

In today's gospel, Matthew tells a story of a father who asked his sons to work in the vineyard. One said no, but changed his mind and eventually went. The second said yes but didn't even go to the vineyard. Jesus said that the first did the will of his father. But if we are going to think about it, both of them brought sama ng loob to their father.

As I reflect on it, I am reminded that there are two kinds of people who roam the face of the earth. One, those are good who eventually turned bad. And two, those who are bad who eventually turned good.

In the dichotomy of good and bad, of what is moral and immoral, people may have had different definitions. The term could be relative. But one thing is for sure - the innate goodness that a person possesses.

We are all good. For God is good, all the time.
