God Above Typhoon Maring




Dalawa lang alam kong totoo sa panahon ngayon ng bagyo:

UNA:
LOVE does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the Truth wins out. LOVE never gives up, never loses FAITH, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
(1 Corinthians 13:6-7)

Yan yung LOVE ni God for all of us. Don't ever think na God doesn't care kasi binabaha tayo at maraming nawawalang ari-arian sa atin. Personally, masaya akong nakikita yung mga tao na nagpe-pray ulit at hindi nahihiyang magsabing kailangan nila si God dahil sa nangyayari sa atin ngayon. Kahit saan namang sitwasyon, si God ang kailangan natin. Mapa-bagyo, mapa-ulan man at kahit sa tag-araw!  

PANGALAWA:
You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
God our Savior,
the Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,
who formed the mountains by Your power,
having armed Yourself with strength,
who stilled the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves,
and the turmoil of the nations.
The whole earth is filled with awe at Your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
You call forth songs of joy.
(Psalm 65:5-8)

Ang Diyos na lumikha ng mundo at sanlibutan ay ang parehong Buhay na Diyos na may kontrol sa buhay natin ngayon at sa lahat ng nangyayari. Siya na gumawa ng mga bundok at pinwesto yun sa iba't ibang lokasyon ay ang parehong Diyos na alam ang takbo ng mga tumatamang bagyo sa atin.

With wisdom He created the world and set everything and everyone in place,
With same wisdom, He will deliver us from the typhoon Maring and hanging Habagat.

Kaya ayun, magtiwala kay LORD at hindi lang sa ganitong pagkakataon tumawag sa Kanya. Sabi nga Niya,


You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.
(Jeremiah 29:13)

God is in control! He loves us more than words. He cares for us. And He wants to reveal Himself to us. :) He is worthy of our lives and praises!

Hard Days




I would have titled this one as "A Hard Day" but I realized all my todays are becoming harder and harder than my yesterdays. It's progressing everyday. My seconds to complain are getting fewer. But I'm receiving more minutes to trust a lot more better. Oh how I love to complain but I just can't. I'm getting thinner but my faith is getting bigger! I could have just cried all day long for these hardships I'm going through. I'm working overtime from Monday to Friday. I'm earning less than what I deserve. My income does not match my job title as a Writer. I know I'm doing my job well with that ridiculous absolute excellence I am committing everyday. So where could I find justice here? Or should I say fairness and human interest? I told you I can complain but this is just the truth about my life that I'm sharing.

I can complain. Oh yes I can but I prefer to trust not my troubles, not even myself but the One who is worthy of my excellence. I can't imagine how would my everyday be if the LORD is not helping me. Really. I could have gone crazy. I could have sabbotage my scripts and producers. I could have said all the curses anyone could imagine. I could have been anyone's mortal enemy. I could have blamed God for these sufferings. I could have jumped off from a hundred-storey building and died. I could but I just can't.

17 Thanks to Him who keeps on holding me together. 28 Thanks to Him who keeps on making all things work together for my good. 13 Thanks to Him who does not stop giving me supernatural strength and patience. 3 Thanks to Him who is enabling me to consider other's interests above mine. 10 Thanks to Him who's always cheering me up. 10 Thanks to Him who is letting me experience the fullness of life. 18 Thanks to Him who is preparing me for a greater influence. Thanks to Him who is using me for His Name's sake. Thanks to Him who is molding me into someone I never imagined I could be. Thanks to Him who is sending me on the edges for His glory. 13 Thanks to Him who is letting me share in the sufferings of Christ so I could also one day share in His joy. 3 Thanks to Him whose love never runs out on me. 5 Thanks to Him who is not leaving me.  8 Thanks to Him who is not forsaking me. 19 Thanks to Him who is giving me all I need. 9 Thanks to Him whose grace is sufficient in my weakness. 6 Thanks to Him whose love and goodness surely follow me all the days of my life. 14 15  16 Thanks to Him who is making me faultless and blameless. 3 4 Thanks to Him who is teaching me endurance and perseverance. Thanks to Him whose joy is my strength. Thanks to Him whom I have given all my hope. Thanks to Him who is my Everything. Thanks to Him who is worthy of all my praise. Thanks to Him whom I love forever and ever. Thanks to my Father. Thanks to my Lord, Savior and Redeemer. Thanks to my God whose Name is Jesus Christ. 

Thanks to Him who loves me anyway... and loves you the same!
