THE WORD: “HAVE faith in GOD…You must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.” (Mark 11: 22-23)
(Words of enlightenment)
FAITH is the language of GOD. Have faith in Him and He’ll come to understand what you’re up to in praying to Him. For without faith, it’s impossible to please GOD.
A Euphoria broke out practically in the entire country where its minority group – mostly identified as the Muslims in the South, through its belligerent separatist leaders that now at the bosom of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front(MILF) that eventually got what it has been wishing for—the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity that it recently forged and entered into a covenant with the GPH (Government of the Philippines) following a series of peace negotiations brokered by a neighbor ASEAN country – Malaysia.
BUT, the niggling question remains lingering in the minds of so many here in Mindanao: “Will there be truly a genuine peace to reign in Southern Philippines? Is there any guarantee that with the Signing of the peace accord, peace and tranquility will now reign in Mindanao?
JUST after their historic signing last April, volumes of firefights erupted almost in cadence, apparently to mock its leaders. The rash of kidnappings believed perpetrated by the Abu Sayyaf bandits resurfaced, bombings resonated anew in its suburbs, and a lot of other atrocities blamed on other disgruntled groups, including the left-leaning factions of the CPP/NPA based in Mindanao.
AND, most of its detractors are even having their dreary prediction that the situation in Mindanao might even get worse for the inking of the GPH-MILF peace agreement would mean its own polarization and its own divergences for history will tell us that our own cultural and traditional diversities and adversities vis-à-vis our religious and denominational differences, are enough manifestations that we can’t be at peace with each other at all, no matter what.
Oh, God! I hope and I pray we won’t’ see its worst at all! (jayfeliciano2@yahoo.com)
