THE WISE FRIEND

Wise personages exist everywhere. Choose the right moment to get it. Wise thought will come out easily.
I ask the question to my friend, a volunteer from Australia, during our trip long 72 km three days ago. “Why you don’t come back to your country in this difficult time because of the covid-19 pandemic?” I ask this because her friend came back to Australia two months ago. They supposed to stay as a volunteer in Thailand for two years. My friend replied that she needs to stay here because this is part of her mission. For me, her decision not only right but also very smart. She chooses to be a volunteer until the end of her mission.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God, have faith also in me.” The trouble can come from any side of life. No one knows when it can be a danger for life. Only those who have a strong belief can counter the trouble. When they stand on their belief, they will feel comfortable. They can encounter trouble.
Our belief has any kind of trouble. If we have strong faith in Jesus, we can combat it. If not, we will be in trouble for an unpredictable period. Let us pray for those who face the difficult moments, may the Lord bless them, give them a strong faith. The follower of Jesus must be a strong believer.
