Reflection #8

Another reporter another contributor I have discovered. Now we are going to talk about Martin of tours

and St. Ambrose of Milan. These two men might be in different place and life but they have one thing in

common and to the other contributor. But before that we should remember some of their

autobiography. Martin one of his remarkable deeds was when he cut the half of his clothed and give it

to the beggar and His mother was converted through him. Ambrose on the other hand was very

distinguished young gentle man, and what made him unique was that he was baptized and ordain in the

same day. He also introduced new Eastern melodies by composing new hymns.

I observed how talented and intellectual they are, some are writer, composer and preacher. They are

very educated and we could say influential people too. I like to quote what Martin says "I have served

you as a soldier; allow me henceforth to serve Christ". It was simple yet very astonishing statement,

someday I want to make a remarkable statement for Christ too. It is just like what teacher Ethel say that

"enough of me, its time for you", its seems like they are surrendering their whole life for Jesus. I want to

do the same thing, I want to serve Him fully because I already consumed more than half of my time for

worldly thing. Now it is enough, it is time for Christ.

Its time to start the true fight and as I go out I hope my perspective in life will increase into more

matured thinker. Not as intellectual as they are but enough to glorify God. I cannot do the same thing

but it is by God's grace that I will be able to do extraordinary as the Lord works in me.
