Of Jeepney Drivers and God

i was riding in a jeep a while ago and realized something of 'eternal significance'. i don't know about you but i get kinda ticked off when the driver stops over just to get a single "possible" passenger. i feel like it's a waste of time because he ain't sure if that person will ride or not. but he stops just to make sure he doesn't leave anyone [who wants to ride in his jeep] behind.

now, some may argue that these drivers may be thinking more of the money they will earn from every passenger, but let's try to picture their intent in God's perspective.

i think god wants us to be like jeepney drivers.

i think He wants us to painstakingly stop over at every single soul. it's our duty as christians to let everyone experience the joy of riding in His jeep--the joy of knowing His message and the opportunity to have Him enter their lives. after all, it's the surest and best way to eternal life.

"Pay close attention to your life and your teaching. Persevere in these things, because if you do so, you will save both yourself and those who listen to you."
1 Timothy 4:16
