Essentials

 On this day that we honor mothers, those people that we consider indispensable and that we cannot imagine life without, I would like to write a little about the INDISPENSABLE people.

I grew up, and I think we generally grew up with the idea that everyone is replaceable. We grew up with that “business” mentality that no one is indispensable and that there is always someone better.

Phrases like: “We are all necessary, but no one is indispensable”, “You don't need the one who left, you need the one who will come”, “when one door closes, ten open”

I have seen companies let people go and even throw them away on whims, and because of the belief that there is always someone better, and surely “tomorrow we will hire someone a hundred times better than him/her, let him/her go!”

I always remember a teacher in technology; He had a passion, a way of teaching! so excellent that I had never seen, even though I had years of dealing with professors and they simply kicked him out of the institution because apparently the coordinator of the specialty didn't like him. I have never seen someone with such excellent pedagogy again. And the institution has never again had a professor with such human quality and pedagogy as that professor.

Obviously this also happens when it comes to church, in December when I went to my hometown and saw the church, I saw the praise team and I just suffered!!! The shepherds belittled those of us who were more faithful and dedicated by those who were better professionally and those who were better professionally left everything in ruins and then fled and the worst thing is that the shepherds do not realize or do not want to realize the horror they committed by belittling to those who were not better but who had a heart that perhaps the “professionals” will never have.

I watched with the “worshippers” who had to stay, a news narrator and an Instagram model, surrounded by dry bones and stagnant water, and I just cried in my seat and told myself, “How beautiful Sion has turned out!” How the group of praises that was my zeal has turned out!

But this happens by not valuing and focusing on what God himself told Samuel not to pay attention to, and as I said, the most horrible thing is not recognizing it and maintaining pride. How sad that pastors are the ones who preach the most against pride and the truth is that I have not found as much pride as in pastors, only that most of the time it is pride disguised or disguised and even disguised as humility.

Returning to the topic, the truth is that I myself let people go from my life because for some crazy reason I believed I could find someone better because "there is always someone better"

I didn't value others enough or I didn't dedicate enough time to them "because I had important things to do" and it turns out that later they left with God and that's when I began to realize that there really are special people! There are indispensable people! There are unique people who do things and behave in such special ways that we will never find others like them.

Sometimes we do not value these people out of pride, other times out of ignorance, but the truth is that after they are gone we realize what they were worth. When it is impossible to return them.

For years I felt a lot of guilt for letting people go because I believed there would be time later and I didn't give them the time they deserved and then they left and the guilt began to hit so hard that only God could calm it.

My request is that we evaluate what we have around us and be very critical of ourselves because the truth is that if there are unique, irreplaceable people with characteristics that we will never find again in life, the best thing we can do is appreciate them with care. our life and with our time and that if it is their turn to leave, that our conscience has nothing to accuse us of.

Obviously none of this means that I'm going to idolize people.

We should not idolize or endure blows and blows “because he is a good man, he does everything possible to bring food to the house. I put up with all the blows he gives me because he is an excellent father and provider, a man like him I will never find!” (Yes, surely after I beat you to death you won't find a man like that in the grave) It's good that I clarify that. I am not referring to putting up with bad things from some people because they have very good things. I am referring to those excellent people who add, those friends who, although they are like sandpaper, are what you need to make the furniture of your heart look excellent.

Be careful my loves so as not to let the ferraris go and we are left with twingos and sometimes even without twingos.
