Wattsapp Group Protocols

I love Wattsapp groups! I believe this application has touched the lives of many, reunited departed friends, created efficiency in communication and a platform of sharing ideas and thoughts. Above all, despite watching from afar (another country) I see that it has impacted drastically our social habits..and pre-outings agreements :-)
I specially love this moment when someone just starts a chain of "happy birthday" messages. Once this message pops on my screen, I prepare my phone battery to receive the full day flooding chain of messages on that same wattsapp group congratulating that same person. It became part of the unwritten protocol of wattsapp! You CAN NOT NEGLECT and you Shall NOT forget reacting along with the group...I tell you, it will be questioned, wandered and analyzed. In that moment, There is an urge inside you pushing to type a may-be redundant by now "happy Birthday ya ... (And some smileys, hearties, huggies, w taratir)". You feel it's too much but you still do it...because you belong to that group, you cant just keep watching, you act and add your value in that virtual world. I am sure by now you have a smile on your face recalling one these moments!

Do you know that you and I belong to another bigger group..a wireless one too..a group connected all over the globe by faith, by one heart, under One God. St. Paul the apostle wrote a lot about the group we belong too and clearly reminded us of the following urge:

"Do not NEGLECT to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." (Hebrews 13:16)

ولكن لا تنسوا فِعلَ الخَيرِ والتَّوْزيعَ، لأنَّهُ بذَبائحَ مِثلِ هذِهِ يُسَرُّ اللهُ. (العِبرانيّينَ ١٣:١٦)

Yes, it is this same urge or call of "Do not neglect". We are simply called to react to it and bring it alive..we need to be worthy of that group. It is strange that we can feel the pressure of a wattsapp protocol, yet we can easily Forget or neglect our real life protocol. You and I are called for higher purposes. Do not neglect the urge to do good, to share His love and bring it to a world that, day after day, hungers more for God's presence...through YOU! Do not accept being passive in the REAL world we live in, start by your home, family, work, friends....show them "the sacrifices that are  pleasing to God".

Do not neglect to do good TODAY my friend!

Recruiting Talents

Recruiting services, interviews, head hunting, Linked-in, panels, tests, CVs..Those who have been applying for a job know quite well what I am talking about. But this time, I speak to the ones (the managers out there) who want to fill a vacancy (تعيين) in their teams and just can NOT find the good caliber, the good quality potential employees that you would be proud joining your team.
Every time I think about it, The whole concept of Head Hunting or recruitring services still amazes me..we pay professional companies (which i do respect a lot) to find out for us someone good enough to take the job. In markets like Egypt or even here in Spain (with an unemployment of 26%), you would expect loads of high potential workers are there knocking on the door to fill that vacant job, but no it is not the case, seems you can not find easily the serious high quality dedicated ones to help you drive the company further..you need to depend on such HR companies to find for you the right ones....because basically the market is FULL of workers but VERY FEW are equipped, dedicated and willing to walk the extra mile with you!

Don't worry,nothing new..Here is the comforting news..Even Jesus 2000 years ago said exactly the same (after a long day of "work" among the most needing)..

حينَئذٍ قالَ لتلاميذِهِ: «الحَصادُ كثيرٌ ولكن الفَعَلَةَ قَليلونَ. (مَتَّى 9:37 AVDDV)

Jesus said to his followers, “There is such a big harvest of people to bring in. But there are only a few workers to help harvest them. (Matthew 9:37 ERV)

It just made me wonder with the billions out there, How can this statement be still relevant..and yes, the above recruitment story confirmed it to me. Then got that moment of shock, realizing that I might be on that "poor quality" worker among the mass, or am I up to the Challenge taking a role and making a difference on the the field? I know that God created EACH one of us with great potential, yet we need to apply for the job and show our seriousness! Did you lately check your worth in the market..let me tell you..you are priceless, just head to the fields and Start!

Dear God, I thank you for opening our eyes that there is a big harvest..i thank you for choosing each of us with a call and purpose in life..amazing after such a day full of your works, you said this statement showing us we have to continue what you have started. I pray that our hearts and eyes are open to the work we have a head of us..and i wait for the day we celebrate achieving your work..all together! In Jesus name, Amen.

Note: just read the full chapter Matthew 9, i was Amazed by the amount of work needed out there!
