I wonder if you have ever been in a situation as a parent and you have given your child an assignment or a task.

And with that assignment of the task, you have given him or her all the equipping and all the tools, all the motivations, all the encouragement that you thought they needed in order to accomplish this task or the assignment.

And within a short period of time, you discovered they haven't even begun, let alone finish the assignment.

I wonder in another situation, if you were an employer, God, an employee, you're a colleague,

and you have said to the colleague and assigned him a task or her,

and he said, here, all the things you need in order to help you accomplish the task,

to accomplish the assignment.

All the tools, all the motivations, all the encouragement, all the things they need it,

only to discover that they haven't even begun to take that assignment seriously, let alone accomplishing it.

I wonder what your reaction would be.

I wonder how you feel deep down, whether you verbalize it or not, how you feel deep down.

Now, we can speculate on the reasons that they may give.

Some probably would say, well, I couldn't do that simply because I got so busy I didn't get to it.

Another excuse of somebody would say, well, look, you know, I thought it wasn't all that important,

so I just pushed it aside. I didn't think it was really worth all the effort and the energy

that it is required for that assignment to be accomplished.

Or somebody might say, well, you know, I just felt it was too much for me to do.

Somebody may say, you know, I know you've given me all these tools, you've given me all these equipment,

that gave me all the things I needed, but I still felt

very inadequate. I couldn't do it. And then you feel a sense of deep disappointment in your

heart. But I want to ask you how you would even feel. If you did not ask for that task or assignment to be done once, but you asked twice, three times,

four times. You kept on asking. You kept on asking. And the same thing happens over and over again.
