Lotus Pond - Bismark
Where’s the party?

MANILA, Philippines?Have you ever felt offended because you were not invited to a party? A friend was confronted by people after she had failed to invite them to her wedding. She wanted to invite more friends to the special occasion, but she had to eventually revise the guest list due to financial ?considerations.?

Indeed, everyone wants to get invited to parties. But, there?s really no need to gripe if we?re unable to participate in some of those occasions. Fact is, we all have standing invitations to a never-ending festival of fun?and they come from the Supreme Friend Himself! He wants us in His Festival of Love and world of happiness.

Better option

In this temporal world, people become miserable due to intoxication with chemical substances?so they end up vomiting their guts out and suffering from splitting headaches. But, there?s a better option: The Supreme Friend goes out of His way to let us know that we?re welcome in His world! We don?t need to be a member of a specific group, and we don?t even have to be special to attend His party.

Some hosts limit the type of people they invite to their parties?they want guests who are fun, entertaining or influential, and others who measure up to their standards and qualifications.
Some people may think, ?I?m stupid, sinful, useless and full of bad habits!? But, the Supreme Host always has a ready answer: ?I still want you to come.? The Supreme Friend makes no exception: Whoever you are, you?re invited to His home!

It?s simply a matter of accepting or rejecting His invitation?because He can?t make that decision for us, out of respect for our individual will and freedom. The choice is ours!
