It Could Be Random. Or It Could Be A Poem.

I thought I could say something more. Mind is like a river: wide, open and shallow. But oh, how I pray for a word that penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. God is still doing amazing things in my life. He is not yet done with me. With all of us actually. His grace is still sufficient and never runs out. To the point of us drowning in it; Forgiven the sins that nailed it. He still loves us and is able to do more to show His love for us. He's done the greatest ( John 3:16 ), is there anything else that could be the hardest? He is still accepting the ones who seek, And using the ones who are willing. Didn't He humble the exalting by choosing the meek? It has not been a mainstream craze nor in a trending phase But the life of Jesus never fails to touch even the lowliest of the human race. It will always be about love the very being of our God above. I am in awe. I thought I could say something more. But the river of thou...

The Story of the Nativity and The Relativity

Image
It was two months before I graduate from high school when I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.  College applications, entrance examinations, trendy clothes, hair colors, lovers and friends, and teenage angst were the things this college novice have in mind. Together with the incredulous plans I have in my life. As if those things seem to be easy putting into its rightful place. Things I have for my  self  in which probably what Jesus have seen when He came knocking at the door of my heart which I have humbly opened on the month of February, 2008.  image source:  http://celebritywonder.ugo.com/wp/Oscar_Isaac_in_The_Nativity_Story_Wallpaper_2_800.jpg    It could also be what Joseph have for his life when God knocked him off with a thought that his fiance was pregnant. He's got plans. To where the wedding will be held, who the guest will be; family, relatives, and a couple of friends maybe. To where they will raise t...

I Heard a New Song, I Saw a New Creation

"I come in to the room to make you a new creation. Behold, the old is gone.     It doesn't matter about yesterday. It doesn't matter about the past. He wants to break in today.   So, You can have Your way today. I don't even know what that looks like, God, but You can have Your way.  You can have Your way." -Catherine Mullins  How do you see yourself this beginning of the year?  Mine was all God. I want more of Him in my life and less of my desires. This time, no agendas of my own, that in all things, He will work His way through me. New challenges await us as we expect to see new things. Always works that way. And so we gotta be prepared. I remember the moment I opened my eyes for the very first time this year God reminded me of having greater challenges for a greater me. Much better than becoming no less than a spectator. We shall be partakers, we participate on God's plan for our lives.  I pray that this won't ju...

SAVED TILL THE END!

So I'm gonna be ending the year with the Lord! Yehey!!! At least, whatever may have happened to me this year what matters is that I still have gotten up and is still with the Lord. Ang mahalaga ay yung nilaban mo yung relasyon mo sa Diyos.  Because we cannot perfect our selves, God, in His amazing grace, is the One who perfects our flawed life. We're told to just persevere so the He could continue pouring out His righteousness on us. "Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the hard times! Kicked around in public, targets of every kind of abuse-some days it was you, other days your friends. If some friends went to prison, you stuck by them. If some enemies broke in and seized your goods, you let them go with a smile, knowing they couldn't touch your real treasure. Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you back. So don't throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It's still a sure thing! But you need to stic...

The Moment God Checked My Heart

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment . The one who fears is not made perfect in love."  1 John 4:18 If you really love Me, so be it. Go.. love people. No IF's no BUT's. As you do the ministry; do not fear, do not worry. After all, your loving is not meant to be a punishment. You didn't come to know Me to be punished. I got you out of there, remember? It was I who promised to give you life and have it to the full. You love people because I loved you first. And you have to remember that I also loved them despite who they are and what they do.

How He Loves Us. His Jealousy. Our Idolatry.

Who can measure what God does? Who can outgive Him? We can't but we sometimes make it seem like we could. There is jealousy in the love of God. That's why He he made certain of idolatry being abominable for Him. He offered His own Son for a bunch of selfish creatures just much more intelligent than the animals. He gave and took nothing in return. He just gave for God so loved the world.  And all that we could ever do is to get. Because we have to satisfy our needs. HOW WE LOVE HIM NOT We forget about Him, we forget about what He's done and go on doing what we've known and what we've already mastered. We would try be invulnerable of the Spirit and do our thing. When we settle for knowledge over wisdom. When we focus on welfare rather than salvation. For we, ourselves are no longer recepient of it. "They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns--broken cisterns that can hold no water." Jeremiah 2:13 What quench...

Hindi Lahat ng Galit sa Magnanakaw ay Kapatid ng Magnanakaw.

Noong mga nakaraang araw natutunan ko na mas masayang mag-bigay. At hindi maganda sa pakiramdam ang mawalan... lalo na ang manakawan. Hindi nangangahulugan na kung nasa atin ay sa atin talaga. Pwedeng pinapa-alagaan o pinapa-ingatan lang. At kung hindi natin magagawa ang mga bagay na yon, nagbubukas lang tayo ng pinto para sa magnanakaw, sa pumapatay at sa naninira. Wala sa mga bagay sa mundo na ito ang ating kasiyahan. At ang ating kasiyahan ay hindi naman din sa mga bagay. Natutunan ko din na malungkot ang buhay ng madamot. At hindi lahat ng madamot ay iyong hindi nagbibigay. Meron ding madamot na nagbibigay. Yung nagbibigay na akala nila ang laki ng nawala sa kanila. Dahil hindi rin naman ibig sabihin na kung nagbibigay ka ay nawawalan ka. Pagkakataon nga iyon para lumawak yung lalagyanan. Para kapag ikaw naman ang nabibiyayaan meron kang paglalagyan. Oo nga pala naalala ko, hindi lang naman uso ang pagbibigay tuwing Pasko.
