Bad fish

Lord, continue to mold me into the person that You want me to be so I may be in Your presence forevermore.

Job 38:1,12;40:3-5 Psalm 139:1-3,7-8, 9-10,13-14 Luke 10:13-16 (or Matthew 13:48)

This scene is very vivid to me. Years ago, my class group had to go to the Navotas Fishport for the feasibility project we were doing. We witnessed how fish were loaded into many big banyera (tub) and were sorted according to kind, quality and size. This was done so the fish can be priced accordingly. The bad ones were then thrown into a separate container and deposited into the trash bin.

I still remember the awful stench coming from the bin that contained the bad fish. People stayed away from it because, aside from the foul smell, a lot of flies swarmed around it.

I dread to think that come Judgment Day, I will be among those that the angels will discard and throw into the burning furnace.
