The "shoes-off" experiences which I am about to share with you came about when I pressed myself close to the bosom of God, and listened to the whispers of His heart in the people whom I had met in the events in the Basic Ecclesial Communities, in the parish, in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur, around Malaysia and the world.

These personal "shoes-off" responses to God have been rendered with profound reverence. I am learning day by day that the same reverence due to God is the respect that must be paid to God's people. Respect calls for an attitude of accepting the people at their level of maturity and growth. The God who loves us always comes down to our level. This is true of the events in Exodus and the Incarnation.

Hence, I too have to respect people at whatever level of growth and gradually motivate them toward greater progress and maturity. I am aware that I am only an instrument chosen and sent by God, like Moses, to minister to His people. I did not become their parish priest in order to ask them to live up to my expectations.

I am here to listen to God in and through their aspirations and to help them to draw closer to God. Once they experience the liberating power of God's love, God himself will motivate them toward the fulfillment of His mission.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
