Have you ever asked a question?
"Why are some people heartless?"
I was talking to a maid and she was telling me that she was
working for her "Amo" or employer for 36 long years.
And she received of course, below below below the minimum wage, all
those years.
And then, she became weaker and she got sick.
And so, her "Amo", her employer told her, "You have to go home."
"You have to go now."
"You know, because you cannot work for me anymore."
And so, you know how much retirement pay quote/unquote they gave
this woman, after working for them for 36 years?
2,000 pesos!
And you know, when she was telling me that story and she was
crying, and she was saying, you know, "Brother Bo, I served this family.
Their children became my children.
But you know..."
And so there, thanks be to God there's Anawim or ministry for the
abandoned elderly, and we do take care.
And there are a number in Anawim right now, you know.
We started that 23 years ago, there are a number of maids and Labanderas
and you know.
Different all sorts of people, who served their
employers, but then they would just let go, just like that.
Because legally, it's not required to give a retirement pay to
somebody like that.
I think now, there are laws already but at that time, there was none.
But friend, I just want to ask this question: Why are there heartless people?
I'm thinking of another guy, a businessman, who told me a horrible story.
He said that he has a business partner, and they've been a business partners
for eight years.
And they were very very close and they would
eat together.
And he became the Ninong, the Godfather of his own kid.
But one day, because of a legal loophole, he comes in
and takes over the entire company.
He steals the company from this
businessperson, this businessman.
And just pulls the rug out of that guy, and and he was...
This business person was in debt by millions, because of what this
business partner did.
And this business person asked me, this businessman
asked me, "Brother Bo, how can people be so heartless?
He was my friend for a number of years, how could he steal
this from me? you know."
And I said, "I don't know your story.
I don't know the background, but you know what I did?
I went to the Bible and I discovered why
people can be heartless?
I'm going to show it to you."
Hi, my name is Bo Sanchez.
And welcome to Fulltank, your place of inspiration.
I pray that you will be blessed, as we share the Gospel
for the day.
I do this from Monday to Friday, and our Gospel is Matthew 6:19 -
And it's this story...
In this reading, Jesus says, "Where your treasure
is, there your heart will also be."
There are people right now, walking around
without their hearts inside their chest, why?
Because their heart is in the bank account, in the bank vault.
Their heart is there in their mansion.
Their heart is inside their cars.
Their heart is inside their jewelry box.
Their heart is in their closet, with their designer clothes.
"Because where your treasure is..."
Jesus said, "... there your heart will also be."
And the reason why, maybe this business partner, the partner of this business man,
why he was able to steal, the whole business from this other guy, you know.
In a very heartless way, because his heart
was not there, anymore in his body.
His heart was with his money.
And maybe this employer that, you know.
Just let go of this maid that served the
family for 36 years, and gave this woman just 2000 pesos and go now.
"Go, go.
Shoo, shoo!" you know.
The reason why it was heartless was because their heart
was on things and on money, and not on persons.
And this is my message I want to share it with you today.
It's very very simple.
Are you ready?
"Put people before things" That's it!
That's my simple message.
Put people before things.
Put relationships before things.
Put love before things and before money.
Don't be a heartless person.
Don't walk around, planet earth without your heart.
I pray that right now, God will give you the opportunity to
love people and to bless people and to care for people.
In the Mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray that you will always
put people before things.
Put love and relationships before things, in all your decisions.
In Jesus' name.
Amen and amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
God bless you.
Have a fantastic week.
Have a fantastic weekend.
And always put people before things.
