Two Reassuring Rainbows
“ I set my bows in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” – Genesis 9:13
It
was an important Sunday in 1999, the day before my momentous Career
Minister’s exam at the Department of Foreign Affairs. If I pass it, then
I will only be one step away from getting a promotion as Chief of
Mission. This rank will qualify me to be an ambassador not only for God
but also for the country.
While
walking around to rest my mind, I looked up to the skies and saw two
colourful rainbows. I smiled at God’s reminder of His promise for me not
to worry. I will pass and have a full life as His ambassador after I go
through the dark valleys in my life.
He reassured me that after Good Friday comes Easter Sunday — always. I passed in 2000.
I am now blessed to be an ambassador for God and Philippine Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates since 2009.

REFLECTION:
Do I still doubt God’s love and faithfulness? Look at the rainbow and be reassured.
Lord, let me not forget Your forgiving love to us whenever I see bows in the clouds.
St. Porphyry of Gaza, pray for us.
