As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another

A month ago, i wrote a blog about how blessed I am with a conversation at the VCF-Fort... And who would have thought that I would be in that situation again, but this time its about me, my flaws, my indifference, and this time in my hometown.. VCF-Galleria...

It was a wednesday afternoon, singers' training were cancelled but I still I was in Galleria that time, I accompanied my friends from metro east since they will be auditioning for the ortigas worship team. LIttle did I know, as always, God had a planned for me, God wants to give me a revelation and a wake-up call through James Sace (De ja vu??? hehehe... history repeating itself but this time, I was the main subject and not James).

James and I had talked that afternoon, it triggered when I started my usual "pang-aasar to James", then later that night, when I was about to go out the center, James called me and asked me if I could stay, and so I did... He said that he wants to have a talked about something, with no clue at all, I responded to his invitation. Tadaaaa!!! Bingo!!!! It wasn't about the worship team nor our small group bonding, but it's all about me... then, our so-called "the talk part deux" had started.

You know what, I was so blessed to have my brother (James) along with our brothers backing me up all the time. Just like what had happened to us that day, I have no idea that James was already offended by my so-called pang-aasar, and there he goes, showing me my flaws and giving me advices regarding that. I was quiet during that moment, I was thinking about my identity with my peers in the church, its a good thing though, that James always reminds me during the course of our conversation that, above all, it is our identity in Christ that matters. I don't need to change for them but rather guard my actions towards them.

James reminded me of this scripture:

"As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another"
Proverbs 27:17

It simply says, that we are all accountable with each other and we are here to support each other.

God is Great!!! Always!!!
