Do I Know You?

Consider this case ...

Johnny is a worker in this huge company.
It is hard to describe his job apart from the word "Just a simple office worker"
Documenting stuffs, getting tasks from the higher management, getting yelled at, let alone getting punishment for something he should not get.

However, Johnny is a good fellow.
He does not a blackened heart.
He knows that each task makes him learn.
He knows that each yell makes him get new understandings.
He knows that one should behave positively against all odds.
That is him.

He also knows that he is just a simple worker.
However, he wants to do an extraordinary things.

"How?", You may ask.

Simply by encouraging fellow colleagues, the other office workers to strive for the best.
Less complains and more actions.
And not be grumbly but be cheerful.

He is a great friend to hang out with actually.
When you are down, you can just chat with him, and you will be recharged just like the black cat battery, Eveready.

Now, the company faces a crisis.
Each worker is called to have a private discussion (Actually decision about his fate in the company) by the managing director.


People can just see the decision for someone who has finished discussion just by analyzing his expression.
Some are smiling, joyful, singing, jumping around like a little froggy.

while ...

The others are in rage.
Hitting the walls, banging head, and so on.

No one understands the decision.
Most of the workers that they think should survive in the company, suddenly are fired.
It is beyond their understanding.
Why?

Now, it is time for our good friend, Johnny to enter the room.

There are some chairs, but to focus this story, I wont need to describe the content of the room in detail.

The managing director (MD) calls his name.

MD: "Are you Johnny?"
J: "Yes"
MD: "Tell us the reason why I should keep you here?"

And Johnny then start explaining the situation of the company, the drawback and the positive sides as well. All in detail. Additionally, he also mentions that some workers are in need to be encouraged at all times.

And here's the verdict.

MD: "Sadly Johnny. I dont know you. There are many people who claim they should stay in this company. But.. it is just I dont know you."

Surprised, Johnny then tries to mention all the good deeds he has done in the company.

But it has been decided.

And there he goes.. fired.



Friends.. Sorry for being harsh here.

I know, we, as human beings, are just taking good life for granted.

But that is the truth that I cannot denied.

We as humans are able to do good deeds.

But good deeds will not save you.

They will not bring you to the eternity of happiness in afterlife.

There are many other ways that people have tried to accomplish to enter heaven.

Being rich, being generous, becoming famous, doing tons of ministries.

But you know what ?

They are all are NOTHING for God if one does it without relationship to God.

If one has done lots of good things in his life but without God in him, thus he shall prepare for the surprise.

Yes, surprise.. just like the followings.

“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’

But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

(Matthew 25:11,12, emphasis mine)

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." (Matthew 7:21 [NKJV], emphasis mine)

So, what are you going to do now?

Your life, your decision.

Kind regard,
