Nang mabalitaan ni Marta na dumarating si Jesus, sinalubong niya ito, ngunit si Maria nama’y naiwan sa bahay. Sinabi ni Marta, “Panginoon, kung kayo po ay narito, buhay pa sana ang kapatid ko.”

Juan 11:20–21

Ilang beses mo na ba naitanong ang, “Lord, bakit?” Maraming beses na rin siguro. Lalo na nung hindi ka natanggap sa dream job mo, bumagsak ka sa exam, na-diagnose ka ng malubhang sakit, at marami pang ibang malungkot na scenario.

Parang ganun din ang tanong ni Martha and Mary kay Jesus. “Lord, bakit ngayon ka lang? Sana buhay pa ang kapatid namin.” Pero hindi nila inakala na isang malaking miracle ang mangyayari. Kasama pala sa plano ni Jesus ang muling buhayin si Lazarus.

Madalas nagtatampo tayo when the Lord doesn’t respond to our prayers the way we want Him to. Feeling kasi natin deserve natin ang good things. Kaya lang baka ang good things na gusto natin ay magiging curse instead of a blessing. O kaya naman may ibang plano pala si Lord sa buhay natin.

Paano naman kung magkaroon tayo ng unexpected blessing? Na-promote ka sa work, pumasa ka sa licensure exam mo, at cancer-free ka na! Natatanong din ba natin na, “Lord, bakit ako na-bless? What did I do to deserve this?”

Sa totoo lang, mas nasanay tayo na i-question ang Lord why we didn’t get the good things we want, rather than thanking God and humbly asking Him the reason for our undeserved blessing.

Maganda rin na sanayin ang sarili to count our blessings daily kahit gaano man ito kaillit instead of focusing on things we do not have. Unti-unti, mas matututo tayong maging grateful even for the simple things in life. May problema man na dumating o mag-No si Lord sa prayer natin, magaan tanggapin ang Kanyang sagot.
