“No Reserve”, “No Retreat”, “No Regrets”
Christian missionary William Borden's initial response to God's call was: “No Reserve”. He went on to act out his commitment:“No Retreat”. The day before he died, William inscribed “No Regrets” on his bible. He served God with apostolic passion; he led a life with “no reserve”, “no retreat”, and “no regrets”.
Human beings are indeed blessed. Despite the fallibility of our physical being, we are endowed with the faculty of thought and emotions. Thus, we can harness independent thinking; we can connect with God and build a relationship with Him.
“No Reserve”, “No Retreat”, “No Regrets” -- this is more than a powerful and touching testimony. It tells me how simply and plainly we can lead a pious spiritual life, responsible family and communal life, and meaningful professional life. Past years of unrelenting pursuit of worldly matters for their worldly pleasure have left me thirsting for God's help to take stock of my life. The day 12 Sep 05, followed by 15 Sep 05, was a watershed.
不保留; 不后退; 不后悔. Here on, I navigate with “No Reserve”, “No Retreat”, “No Regrets”. Thank you, gracious Lord.
