True Leadership


On the Sunday, 21 October reflection, Archbishop William God talked about True Leadership.

Quoted from what He said

" True leadership is when a leader puts the people above himself and sacrifice his life for others.
He makes himself available to the people.
For this reason, a leader is a selfless servant. 
He is always the last to be served because he cannot rest until the rest have had their needs.
A leader must suffer with the people and always be on the ground, moving among their people, working with them, living amongst them and sharing their joy and woes.

Leaders are called to make personal sacrifices for their people.
They choose to suffer for their sake so that the greater number of people would suffer less.
But through their sacrifices and sufferings, a price for the salvation of the people, they will find peace and contentment. "

 This powerful statements can be applied to the family life. Father as a leader of the family could also apply this characteristic of a selfless servant. When I change the word Leader => Father, people => family, it becomes like this

" True fatherhood is when a father puts the family above himself and sacrifice his life for others.
He makes himself available to the family.
For this reason, a father is a selfless servant.
He is always the last to be served because he cannot rest until the rest have had their needs.
A father must suffer with the family and always be on the ground, moving among their family, working with them, living amongst them and sharing their joy and woes.

Father is called to make personal sacrifices for their family.
They choose to suffer for their sake so that the family would suffer less.
But through his sacrifices and sufferings, a price for the salvation of the family, he will find peace and contentment.

It's really beautiful and a privilege to be a father. Thus it fulfils what the bible said 
" Husband, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it."
Eph 5 : 25

For the highlight
"Sacrifice his life" can be a very broad meaning, but in practical words, the meaning can be prioritising the resources for the family sake ( time, money, energy etc)

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving.

It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
