"Hindi kayo special."

(Buti pa ang siopao, special.)

We may not be special when we are just fulfilling our duties but did you know that we are special in God's eyes? Together with nature and the universe, we are all God's creation but we are His only creation made in His image and with whom God wants a relationship to last for eternity.

However, that special relationship was marred by our sinful nature that a holy God can't pretend doesn't exist. But because He loves us so much, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place. (Hindi tayo special kaya Niya tayo mahal; ispesyal tayo dahil mahal Niya tayo.) Accepting Him as our Lord and Savior is the only way to restore our special relationship with the Father.
