The Impossible Standard

"Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah."  Acts 3:19-20 My prayer is that we will once again be WITH Jesus and not just people who knows that there is a Jesus that we should worship. Been through a lot of binding sins and thoughts not pleasing to the Lord. Hindi naman ako nakapatay ng tao pero nakapatay ako ng sariling faith, hope at pag-ibig sa Diyos at sa mga tao. And that, God also sees and considers as sin. And unconfessed sins brings so much sickness to my body and spirit. Yung hormonal imbalance na ang lala sobra. Uncontrollable emotions, anxiety and what-have-you. It was so dark there inside my own self without the light of Jesus. But the past days have been amazing with God moving in my life step by step. I've no words to say in prayer but God is filling my lips with the right thing to ...

God And "Everything".

 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33 "Why are they not here yet? Why am I not having this and that yet? Whatever happened to the thing I have spent my schedule on for weeks of prayer and the times I have fasted?" It's given already, you are Christian, you serve God. You've already "perfected" the Christian faith (or at least 'cause you just feel like it). You seem to have followed the Thou Shall not' s .  But is that all there is? Is that all the reason of the blood shedding, cross endurin g of Jesus? Are these all the reason for the Passion of Christ? We want our family restored. We want excellent service. Extravagant praise and worship. We want extensive growth in our ministry. We want people to know Jesus. To be a believer of Christ. We all want the best. We want to be the best. All for the glory of God.  And it is not bad wanting those ...

I'm In Love... And Always Will Be... -Dido

Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble , not hard times , not hatred , not hunger , not homelessness , not bullying threats , not backstabbing , not even the worst sins ...   None of this faze us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing-- nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable --absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.  This is the The Message version of Romans 8:38-39. And this is a reminder of how firm God's love for me is.  I'm confident that those who have gone away from His loving arms would eventually get back to Him. Sooner or later. And I hope it's not a wee later than the second coming. I hope.  If God's mindset of His love over us is not hindered by any separation barriers, how much more sho...

A Five Peso Worth Of Love.

This is the chronology of a person's solicitation of someone else's love; or what you have known in Values Class, the Boy-Girl Relationship. Someone will get someone else's number. "Hi." (You can add history of how you've met, where you got the number, etc, and all the trying-to-connect-and-sound-familiar-with-the-girl-communication) Someone will start conversing via text messaging. "Unlitxt20" (You know that somebody's serious about this conversation) Then she answers... "Hello." (Trying so hard not to make it look easy ) Talk about interests, how you been the whole day, etc. " Ay, ako rin ..." (Of course, who doesn't want "compatibility") Impress me more. And impress me some more. As the conversation ends with goodnights and sweet dreams. Not till you're already in a point of virtual hugging and pa-tweetums  kiss. Then you'd meet, personally, on a daily basis, be it in the school...
