Dummy Verse TRUTH
I love travel and when I got selected to join a reputed Travel company and my role would be to sells holidays it was like a dream come true. I was a very enthusiastic worker and looked ahead each day to get to work . I must admit that I was very naive, no experience in travel and lacked all the necessary skills to be a counter sales person.
Once a senior retired official from the defence background signed up with us for a custom made tour spanning across Greece , Egypt and a couple of other countries. The visa filling can be a tough one when you have multiple countries in the itinerary . Though we had an ops team that supported the post sale processes I kind of stepped in to call up the client to tell him about a few next steps . I told him we were behind in the visa processing as the forms had not been signed as yet . And my solution to him was - “ Sir if you can’t come down to the office no worries , we will forge your signatures on the document , me and my team mates are very good at it " ! The rest is everybody’s guess . I got a solid piece of his mind . However let me be honest , at that time I did not realise why he was so mad at me . It was the general practice to do so and clients themselves would ask the ops team to do the forging[ to save them the hassle of coming over] . So I thought it was kind of a done thing[ warned you that i was naive 🤣🤣] and a norm to do so.
When this news reached my seniors ears they were both amused and mad with me . I should have been mindful they said specially with people from a defence background . At least they were the few people who apparently had some moral values !!!
I realised that the industry had not changed one bit . But I was so grateful to God for changing me . Making me more wiser and discerning .
Apart from trying to achieve things through shortcuts and easy options , I realised that in my walk with Christ not only the big things mattered but also the small things matter . Sometimes we brush off few things and say - oh its just one dummy letter , does not make any difference . Just a small lie that’s ok , just a small bitching , just being a little judgemental its fine - after all its just something so small and insignificant !!!
I personally don’t think that its fine after all ! If we have Christ like qualities then we will not do anything that in the very essence is a wrong thing .
Like in Romans 12:2 it says
And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].
Just like people who stand out to be good because of their belief system , I think our calling is even higher . We need to be watchful of what we do or say . Because the fruits comes from the roots and all our behaviour steams from what is in our heart .
Is our heart right with CHRIST ??
Jesus came for people like you and me . He came for sinners so that they may see the light and also receive His love and His saving grace. For we have a God who not only is Holy,loving,compassionate but also a forgiving GOD .
JUST TAKE IT ALL TO HIM , HE IS WAITING
PSALMS 103 : 8-12
The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us
BE BLESSED
