Bo Sanchez

Going home from the Sagada mountains, we passed by Nueva Vizcaya. After 8 hours of travelling in our minivan, my boys were hungry. So we dropped by at a restaurant for lunch. That was when a funny thing happened: All the managers of the store recognized me.
That wasn’t all. One manager told me, “It’s our 10th Anniversary and we have this big raffle. Can you do the honor of picking the grand prize?” The Department of Trade and Industry representative was there, wearing a nice black coat, looking formal and all.
That was when I realized how ridiculous I looked.
I was wearing puruntong shorts.
I was in a crummy tee-shirt.
I wore muddy sandals.
I didn’t even bath that morning because Sagada was freezing.
And for 4 days, I didn’t shave.
Just to let you know, my moustache doesn’t look nice. No matter how I try, I can’t really have a moustache—I have Genghis Khan whiskers that are crooked and pointing to different directions.
But here was the thing: They didn’t see any of that!
All they saw was Bo Sanchez.
So there I was, standing beside the DTI guy in a black coat, surrounded by the managers, the staff, and a circle of people—all the while being photographed in my puruntong shorts.
My point?
In that restaurant, I had a glimpse of what you and I experience before God. When God looks at you, He doesn’t see your external weaknesses.
He doesn’t see your sins, your failures, and your mistakes.
He only sees who you really are deep within.
He sees your core.
He sees your greatness.
When you really think about this incredible greatness within you, how can you not be happy? How can you not laugh with God?
The reason we’re not happy is because we forget who we really are.
Dear friend, when you really think about it, there’s no reason for you not to be happy. And in His eyes, you’re awesome.
So choose to be extremely happy.
