Is Yahweh creating in me the virtue of determination? A doggedness that won’t stop until it realizes what it works for? Is this determination to be partnered with bravery?
Is it love? A deeper love for Jesus, for my wife Veck, and my daughter Dana? A love for Union Church of Manila. A love for the lost?
Perhaps God is making Rico as he was meant to be: the actor, the author, who, by God’s Spirit, will no longer let the depression and the past sexual abuse he received from John Lustre rule over him anymore. Perhaps God is recreating Rico to be the one who takes his assignment, the great commission, seriously.
Dear Yahweh, my Creator GOD, please reveal to me what new thing you are creating in me. Am I to be an obedient son? A truly returned prodigal? A son with a Father. A warrior on this broken planet. A father to a daughter. A true and faithful husband to his wife. An unblocked artist.
What is it, Creator GOD?
(And the answer that came to me is) A redeemed heart. This is what the Creator GOD wants to create in me. I am God’s workmanship. I am God’s work of art. I belong to God’s body of work. I can trust the Creator GOD.
God, I want to be a prolific author and a respected actor. Please imbue me with love, courage, and determination. Please help me develop my memory, will, action, imagination, and faith. Amen.
