I will be an agent for Prudential Corporation. Yesterday I entered the company and looked around the boards which showed the people who had achieved their target.
I really admired those who worked really hard to change their life. They want to have a better life. As for me, I want an extraodinary life. I had been praying hard for my future at all times. God, have mercy. I am standing in a society without wings. I have no one to depend on except You, God.
Agent plays very importantly when he is meeting his clients. Agency is a relationship between an agent and a principal. Whatever he does on his business, he is representing the principal. The duties of an agent normally involve in a written contract. A contract contains terms and conditions about the agency and also on behalf of his principal. The principal will be responsible for all contracts which his agent has made.The agent needs to perform his works with care, skill and diligence. And an agent is supposed to bring good news to his clients about his products. Hence, if anything happens to the agent, the principal is in big trouble. However, the agents in Prudential Corporation are so confident that they definitely know they are trusting the right thing.
Therefore, the Prudential Corporation logo is...
"The Face You Can Trust"
It immediately strike me with a face of Jesus.
Jesus is the Son of God, yet He is also working as an agent between God and human. God is the "principal". Whatever Jesus does, God will be responsible. To bring the good news to the human, and save the lost... That's His work which God has sent Him to do. In order to gain access to God, Jesus is the agent (the way, the truth and the life). Now I understand being responsible as an agent for someone is extremely big. Furthermore, Jesus Christ paid His life, once for all, for the entire human races. How much can I feel that Jesus is in a big responsiblity of saving humanity?
Since Jesus had helped us to gain access to God, so we must be Jesus' agents to tell others about the relationship with God. To tell others about the Gospel so that they can be saved. This is an important agency.
Let's be agents for Jesus, so that He will bring good reports to Heavenly Father.
Start our agency now.
John 14:6
"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
"Jack..."
"What happened?"
She cried for minutes, and I waited patiently. She is a youth who used to share secret with me. And I become a "place" for her to release her sorrow.
"I felt that my life always face criticism. I am so sad."
"Tell me what exactly happened?" I asked.
"Even my parents discouraged me and always put me to shame in front of others."
"What did they say?"
Readers, I kinda agree with the point that some parents (whether in purpose or not) always put their own children to shame. They discouraged the children and destroy their own children's reputation. This is very dangerous. It will in fact make their children disrespect them and hate them even more. However, I do not understand one thing, "Why did some parents destroy their children's reputation? And when the children rebel against them, they will say 'My children are very rude to me and always go against me!'"
Parents need to be careful of their words and actions. Unnoticedly, the children will hate their parents for life. Before they complained about their children's rebellions, they must think why their children acted in that way. The parents must indeed be responsible in what they had said and done to their children. They must be a good model for their children. Sorry, no offence... Some parents are really ridiculous!
Some parents (especially the Chinese) normally put their children into shame when they were having conversation with others, by saying to others...
"My son is very stupid."
"Wow! Your daughter is beautiful. But my daughter is very ugly."
"Look at your son, he is brillant. But my son is stupid."
"She know nothing, very useless one."
"Ha ha ha... Sorry, my friend. My daughter's hair is very ugly, right?"
"My son is a lazy pig. Always sleep. He knows nothing."
...or saying this to children
"Why is your hair so ugly?
"Why are you so ugly?"
"So stupid! So useless!"
"Look at your cousin. Why are you so stupid?"
"Very stubborn child. Always quarrel with me!"
"I tell you shut up! I am your mother (father)."
"Stop talking to me. Whatever I say is correct."
...or saying this to others when they are in the wrong (to cover their shame).
"Sorry. I am late because of my stupid child."
"Sorry. My son bah! Very stupid! Always make mistakes!"
...or saying this to their children when they rebel.
"What have I done wrong to my children? Why are they so stubborn?"
"I have many useless children. None of you wanna help me."
"Now you grow up, you leave me alone. You do not love me anymore."
"In future, when you have children, you will understand how I feel."
"Why am I suffering so much? You all are really useless!"
"No one understands me. I am so stressed and tired. And you children keep on giving me problems."
I am not critizing about "parents". I hope the parents will understand their children. Even though parents play importantly in supporting the family, even though parents might be stressed in their own lives, even though parents might have sad moments, PLEASE DO NOT HURT CHILDREN'S FEELING. It is not worth it when you have your children hating you. In conclusion, children are NOT toys. They need to be cared and loved. They are HUMAN! They publicly shamed their own children, do they know that the reputation of their children will be destroyed entirely? Where is their praise and compliments?
I show compassion towards this miserable girl. I truly understand how she felt. Her heart has broken into thousand pieces. All I can do is to ask my Heavenly Father to heal her wounds. As a brother in Christ, I comforted her by saying...
"My friend, you are precious in God's eyes. God will not put you to shame. Jesus loves you."
Ephesians 6:4
"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
