GREATEST LOVE

 

I don’t know why I'm feeling this way

I can't comprehend.. I can't understand

Too many questions… to many why's

Still answers  cannot be found…

 

I'm afraid…so scared…so confused…

To know all the truth…

Maybe because I'm not yet ready 

To realized that it's not really meant  to be…

 

You open so many things for me..

You showed me the world  I way I didn’t see

You fill my life with gladness

You bring sunshine into it…

 

Love always find its way ….

In a situation you never think of…

I know time will come we have to be  apart…

But remember, you will always be the greatest love I ever have…

my heavenly master who loves me....

For the past week, I have been fighting  off  different kind of viruses and bacteria my body had accumulated.  Change weather really doesn’t suits me.  I have sniffles, hard cough, slight to medium head ache and  a slight fever at night.  This virus really stricken me a lot. I spent  a long week vacation at home  nursing myself.   Not been able to attend  church activities  and meetings just to avoid spreading virus.  Yet I still  managed  to go to work.   Even though how embarrassing my cough is. I don’t have any choice but to let it out.  Yes I know I was supposed to stay at home  and  take rest, I should think of my health first before anything or anyone .  But sometimes I can't help but to think the other way around.  We often times  think  of others sake first  before our own.  And sometimes  it hurts us if those people doesn't appreciate our effort, especially our bosses, our earthly master.    Even if you give all your best to them, still they wanting more from you.  Your best is not the best  for them.  In the end of the day still your productivity and the  outcome of your work still matters.  You have to do everything and anything  to satisfy them.  To prove them that you are worthy of your position and  salary they are paying you.  We may have this kind of earthy master in our life now but still am glad that  my heavenly master is far more different  from them.  He cares for me  a lot.  He loves me.  He is concern about me.   He even treat me as a friend  and not as a filthy and  low servant.  And  what is more special is that I am His son co -heir  of His kingdom.   He is my king and  I am His princess.  He loves me so much even to the point of letting His  son died on the cross to redeemed me from the slavery of sin.   What more can I ask for?   I have found  a great treasure,  far more valuable than gold and silver.  

We may get tired and  oftentimes  get discouraged on the way our earthly master treated  us.  Sometime  we  like to give up, packed our things and  go back home.  Sometimes  we utter  bad words behind their  back.  We  want  to curse them and  desire bad things for them.  But what  stopping us from doing those things  is the excitement and  joy it brings  knowing our heaven master loves us. There  is ONE  powerful being that  can change simple things into something  extra ordinary.

Don’t lose heart…everything will be  fine. 

strength in hard times

We all have our times in the sun, on the summit and at our best. During those times  we are at bliss.  We dance and laugh as there were no tomorrow.  But we have also our hard times.  Times in the valley, days in the wilderness, when our best laid plans  fall apart,  when someone  we love leave us or when our trusted friend betrayed us.  Life invites us in an entirely different direction.  To the untrained  eyes, these are "bad times", but to the warrior these are life's richest times of growth, opportunity and possibility.  This is the time where your faith will be tested.  The time where we don’t know whom to hold on but to God alone. The time when even the slightest ray of sun is like a wild fire to us. 

 I had a little conversation with my aunt today because   my mother informed me 2 weeks ago  that my cousin will have  to undergo operation because someone hit him in the eyes and which  might cause him to loss  his vision.  Work and personal things consumed me so much that I hadn't  the time to asked her or even send her comforting  message that everything will be alright,  just only now  at this very moment,  when I don’t know out of nowhere someone whispered  me to grab my phone and hit a  message for her.

I know how she feels, we are in the same situation, we are far from our family, far from those people who will truly understand what we're going  through.  It's hard to see your love one suffering from something that they don’t deserve.  It's hard to live each day knowing that you cannot do anything  to lessen their pain but to pray for them and begging God to open the gates  of heaven and  send miracle for them.  

Kneeling to pray is the only thing that keeps us strong.  Kneeling will allow us  to stand again and keep on holding the faith that someday everything will be fine again,  because   every difficulty of our life whether big or small , is something God  will use to produce more strength, faith and perseverance in us if we will let Him.  Kneeling to God assures us that we are not alone in this battle, we may be weak but we will come out again stronger and braver  than before. All our pain has a purpose and  definitely for our own good.

 Tomorrow will be a brand new day again.

But the Lord  stood with me and gave me strength .   2 Timothy 4:17

A TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Sometimes  we think that if  knew someone for  a very long time or we've been with that person throughout our lives , we  knew everything about him.  That we are able to understand and  accept  whatever flaws and  characters we have. That even though we  are hard  to deal with because  of our  different  personality, they will still accept and love  us .  But  sometimes  it's not  that enough. You cannot measure by the time of years the level and depth of friendship you have. Even though you have build your dreams together and even promise that you will be friends for life,  still it's not a guarantee that friendship will last.  There are friends  that who  will be there for you, only  when you are happy,  when you have something  to give,  when you do things that pleases them.  But still will leave you instantly, in a snap of a finger,  when you just need from them is just  a little understanding.

  I have seen  different kind of friendships and  some of them I'd witness  how it was falling apart  with no reason at all.  Just because  they don’t want to understand each other,  because they don’t want to sacrifice just  a piece of their pride for their friends.   Their ego eats them little by little and they are too blind to  see the  suffering  their friend is going through because of them.  They think nothing but themselves,  their comfort, their wants and  their  demands.  They don't care if someone is crying every night because  of them.  They don’t care if someone is losing so much of himself because of them.  They don’t care if someone is losing a family because of them because they are his family.  They don’t care at all as long as they are happy.

You will distinguished a true friend  in every season of your life. Someone who will be there for you when you are happy,  who will celebrate with you in all your achievements and victories in life but most specially who will be there for you when your world is falling apart.  He will be your cheer leader, your companion and  your greatest fan, someone who will still believe in  you when nobody does.   He will understand  you and everything  that  you're going through and will never judge nor  condemn you for all the mistakes that you have done.  He will be the saddest  if you are sad.  The one who will  shield you from any  arrows  of life.  The one who will give all his strength  in order for you to stand up again and  move on. Someone who will assure you that the world is still beautiful and  there are many so wonderful things waiting  for you to see.   

Life is full of battles, full of heartaches , full of misery  but what  it makes so  beautiful are      those people still  who love and accept  us in spite of our imperfection, of our flaws, of our shortcoming.  Those people who  truly   knew us and believe in us.   And in the end of the day you have nothing but thanksgiving to the  Creator   for creating  them and putting them into your life as a reminder  that  though there are some who  choose to leave  you but they are still  plenty who choose to stay and continue the journey with you.  Indeed ,  you are still blessed.     

 There is no greatest love  a person can give for his friend than to lay down his life for them (John 15:13).

si juan di makuntento….

minsan sa isang kanto, isang kuwentuhan aking naringgan…

si juan ang  bida  ng umpukan…

sa lahat ng bagay siya'y alang kasiyahan…

di matapos tapos kanyang simtimyento…

akala mo pasan nya ang buong mundo…

sa araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos…

puro hinaing at puna sa kapwa ang kanyang wika…

mababang suweldo, kulang na benepisyo…

masungit na amo, tambak na trabaho…

tila ba siya'y walang kasiyahan…

sa lahat ng bigay ng Maykapal…

pana'y puwing  ng iba ang kanyang nakikita…

tila siya'y alang muta na dapat mapuna…

 minsan nakakalungkot isipin…

may mga taong kagaya ni Juan…

puna at dumi ng iba  ang palaging pinupuntirya…

lahat tayo'y di perpekto…

lahat tayo'y nagkakamali…

lahat may kahinaan…

pero sa halip na sarili ang ayusin at  baguhin…

kapalpakan ng paligid ang inuuna pa nya…

 naalala ko tuloy ang sabi ng aking ama…

kung sa bahay at patakaran ko'y di ka masaya…

sa halip na magreklamo at mamuna ka…

malaya ka, pumili ng sarili mong tadhana…

sana'y wag tayong matulad ke Juan…

maging mapagpasalamat….

sa anumang meron ka…

bawat tayo'y mahalaga sa mata ng ating Ama…

kaya't iwasan mamuna ng iba…

lagi nating tandaan…

mundo'y hindi natin tahanan…
tayo'y manlalakbay lamang…

darating ang oras atin itong iiwan…

 sa mga bilang na sandali ng ating buhay…

gawing pagpapala ang iyong buhay…

dahil sa yong paglisan…

hindi naman kung anung meron ka  ang matatandaan…

kundi kung sino at ano ka nung ikaw ay nabubuhay…

 

panalanging ko sa lahat ng makakabasa nito…

magpasalamat at makuntento…

sa biyayang bigay sa yo…

ang buhay ay tiyak at maiikli…

wag  itong sayangin…

sa walang kwentang reklamo't simtimyento…
