We have to remember that He is gentle, humble and most of all He cannot contradict Himself, saving us through dying for us on the cross and then coming hard on us when we make mistakes. I am sure He is very well aware of our weaknesses. He died for us while we are sinners.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Romans 8:1</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Never judge others for doing what they have done because we just don't know what kind of pressures they are under; how and what they are thinking at that moment. The evil one is in control of their hearts and minds that time. I mean who doesn't go through that? The Lord Himself is the only one who knows those things, we cannot! because we are limited.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have to turn to the Lord quickly when we fall to sin. He is truly our Savior the one who is gentle, meek and humble. Focus on that image to our King of kings He is not a common king that easily gets angry and full of pride that will send out unjust sentence. The enemy is the accuser the one who puts guilt in us that causes us to shy away from coming back to Christ. Guilt can give us heavy burden but the Lord said " I will give you rest ".... " For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." We have to believe in Him, that is our job.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">John 8: 28-29</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Even if we have accepted the Lord we still have the tendency of shying away from coming to the Lord for repentance. Because of the accusing voice that is giving us heavy feeling.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Revelation 12:10</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If we are not careful about the subtle maneuvering of the evil one in putting guilt in our hearts we might end up destroying ourselves which is the enemy's ultimate goal. Do not let that happen! fight a good fight of faith.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">John 10;10-11</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Lord Jesus Christ is truly the only one who can clean us up with gentleness.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">" But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have to seek His kingdom first because He is our priority not ourselves. Keep the main thing the main thing and the details will fall into place. Focus on God, I know it's too cliche but if we believe that the Lord heals and we do not believe in our realistic mind that He will not heal us of our bondage that is contradicting. We should live our lives believing that it is also possible to us because we are also His.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our beliefs about the Lord and how we live our lives should be in harmony. Revival is a great move of God in our life and there has to be transformation within us. Being better than we used to be rather than being better than others, without prejudice.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">One time I was praying and very softly the Lord impressed in me He said, "Look in your heart,.... how much faith do you see?" I was embarrassed to admit it was very very little almost nothing. Then I thought what about, how much love? how much hope? It is easy to say I have faith, I have love, I have hope but if we really examine our daily actions and reactions to others, it exposes us. As part of the body of Christ I think we will all benefit in challenging ourselves with this question in our private devotion time with the Lord. I was alarmed to see very little it's almost nothing.</span></div>

Hear now, O house of Israel! Is my way not right? Is it not your ways that are not right? "When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed he will die. "Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life. "Because he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. "But the house of Israel says "The way of the Lord is not right.' Are My ways not right, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are not right?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct," declares the Lord God. "Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you. "Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, O house of Israel? "For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies." declares the Lord God. "Therefore, repent and live."</span><br />

Kalimitan puro hingi ang aming idinadasal imbes na panalangin na pagsamba sa Inyo dahil sabi mo sa iyong salita kung uunahin namin kayo lahat ng kailangan namin ay ipagkakaloob mo dahil alam mo ang lahat ng aming pangangailangan. Maraming salamat sa kabaitan Ninyo sa amin sa pagbigay ng Iyong anak na si Hesus para iligtas kami sa lahat ng aming kasalanan at linisin kasing puti ng niyebe.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The last season I have gone through this year was filing my income tax for the past year. We all do it to comply from the requirement of the government with our personal income for tax purposes. If you are a renter in an apartment or a house you are complied to pay rent. If you are a home owner you are to comply in paying your mortgage. Most often we have so much things to comply to we also do it in our faith. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We think that if we pray a certain prayer at a certain time, reading the scriptures and going to Church on Sundays and giving our tithes are enough for us to say we have faith and love for God. We comply and we think that is all there is to it, you submit your total income for the past year, pay your rent or mortgage that's it. If we do all those that was mentioned above and we go on doing the same lifestyle in cursing others, murdering others with our words by lying, cheating, mocking, taking advantage of others given a chance, etc. All of the things you have done for religious purposes are nothing but just compliance.</b></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Is it really a legitimate excuse for me
to say I do not have to kneel down even when I know that I am capable
of kneeling down? Isn't it just right for me to kneel down to God
when I am praying as a gesture of humbling myself to my Creator,
Provider, Protector and my Salvation? It is very subtle but I see a
danger behind it if we are not kneeling down when we pray. God is
Sovereign and He deserves all honor, praise and worship. It should be
something that we are supposed to be doing automatically if our body
can do it. I think we should kneel down when we pray. I know all of
us are kneeling down when we are praying but how often? This is just
a reminder and a confirmation for us who kneels down every time we
pray.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I understand the reason why Peter said
in 1 Pet 5:5 GNT “In the same way you younger people must submit
yourselves to your elders. And all of you must put on the apron of
humility, to serve one another; for the Scripture says, <b>“ God
resists the proud, but shows favor to the humble.”</b> In other
translation it says <b>“God is opposed to the proud, but gives
grace to the humble.”</b> This is apparent in Isaiah 55:8-9 NASB
where it says, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your
ways My ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than
the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than
your thoughts”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have to humble ourselves to God
since basically we are His servants. God is not a genie we approach
to tell what we want and that’s it. God wants to have a
relationship with us on a personal level. The great thing in prayer
is that when we focus on God- praising, worshipping and honoring Him-
we don't even have to say our needs because God knows what we need.
In Matthew 6:8 “(So do not be like them;) for your Father knows
what you need before you ask Him”. In another part of the Bible it
says “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and
all this things shall be added unto you”. Isn't there a song about
that too?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also waiting for His response to our
prayer by taking a few minutes of quiet time, just let Him speak to
our heart about His response to our prayer is of great value. It's
training ourself how to listen to Him. I know we have a lot of things
to say to Him but He has a lot of things to say to us too. It’s
supposed to be a communication between us and Jesus Christ. Having a
relationship with the Lord in private is better than having
relationship with Him in public because if we commune with Him in
private He will tell us what to do in public. Just because you are
busy with church activities does not mean you are having a personal
relationship with the Lord. It’s a tough pill to swallow but it’s
the truth. Look at Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42. Martha was busy
serving Jesus and His disciples while Mary is focused only on Him and
Jesus said this is the one thats necessary.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jesus hated the legalism and doctrine
of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And because they've got it the
other way around they have made their relationship with God in the
eyes of public but when no one is looking, there’s hardly ever an
actual personal relationship. They wanted to be greeted in the market
places and they wanted to have their special honorable spots in
banquets and places because of what they wear and who they are. The
relationship that they have with the Lord is to please the public and
not the Lord Himself. You will notice it in parables and in the
teaching of the Lord Jesus how personal and secretive our
relationship with God should be. If it wasn't that important, He
would have never mentioned it to us in the Scripture, think about
that. Private personal relationship with the Lord doesn’t mean no
one should know who our God is, it doesn’t mean hiding your
identity in the Lord. It simply means do not boast in public, do not
be a shallow worshipper, and do not give the glory to yourself by
putting yourself in the spotlight. All glory belongs to God alone and
if we should boast, let’s boast of His goodness, always focusing on
Him, who He is and what He’s done for you and me.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In Luke 18; 9-14, “And He also told
this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were
righteous, and viewed others with contempt. “ Two men went up into
the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The
Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You
that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or
even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, I pay tithes of
all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing some distance
away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was
beating his breast, saying, ‘God be merciful to me, the sinner!’
“ I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the
other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who
humbles himself will be exalted.” It's very clear how the Lord
points out in the parable how God resists the proud and gives grace
to the humble as we have read earlier. In essence it is practical and
logical for us to humble ourselves in the presence of the Lord when
we are praying.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also remember when Jesus taught about
how secretive our relationship with the Lord should be? In Matthew 6:
3-6 “But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know
what your right hand is doing, so that your giving will be in secret;
and your Father who see what is done in secret will reward you. When
you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to
stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that
they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward
in full. “But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close
your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father
who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clearly the parables and the teachings
of the Lord Jesus tells us to have a personal relationship with God
in a humble way. And that it is not about us anymore. It is not about
what we can do anymore but what Jesus had done for us. If we say and
believe that we are in the revelation time and we are, shouldn’t we
be kneeling down every day when we pray, humbling ourselves to the
Lord? Many unusual things are happening around that are really
shaking us. Isn't that how it was described in Revelation wherein it
says everything God can shake will be shaken? I really think that
kneeling down should be part of our household meetings and monthly
gatherings (bible studies). Let's have the boldness to kneel down
just like how we are progressing in being bold to share the Lord
Jesus Christ and His words to others. Holiness is not about behavior
it is about ownership of the Lord, because we can never ever achieve
to be Holy through our own good works but only through the blood of
Jesus Christ. He is our righteousness. If you would allow me to read
Luke 21: 5- 36 it's about the signs and warnings. Not to scare us
just to give us right perspective. Facts can be sometimes false but
our reality is the reality of His words.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In Job titles? Dream jobs?
To your talents? Desired position that you really want to acquire at
work? fame? how much LIKES you get when you post something on FB,
instagram, tweeter or what have you? Or How much money you make?
Possessions, Financial status? What people say about you? How cool
you are to your friends?
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before we were born, God has
appointed us already what our mission in our life is. He has placed
it in our hearts. In Jeremiah chapter1: verse 5 Here's what God said
to Jeremiah. <i>“ </i><i><u>Before I formed you in the womb I knew
you, and before you were born I consecrated you</u></i><i>; I have
appointed you a prophet to the nations</i>." He who has ears to hear,
let them hear. The question is, are you going to evade your soul's
purpose why you are here? just like how Jonah evaded God's
assignment for him to preach in the city of Nineveh for repentance? (
Jonah chapter 1)You all know the story, how he tried to go to the
opposite direction and got on to a ship heading to Tarshish instead
of Nineveh. And look at what God appointed for him, a sea creature
just for Jonah specifically, <b>by the way</b>, it was mentioned to
be a big fish, it's not mentioned that it's a whale according to the
scripture. My side comment to the big fish is: it was measured to his
body specs so that when he is swallowed by it he will not die but
just enough room for him to be humbled and enough size to transport
him to his destination that the Father Almighty had prepared for him.
In fact it made him prayed inside the belly of the big fish. Jonah
eventually humbled himself and told the people in the ship he is on,
to push him off to the sea so that they will not be continually hit
by the storm. The key words are: <b>he humbled himself</b>, Humility
comes first before obedience. As CS. Lewis said (author of Chronicles
of Narnia) <i><b>As long as you are proud you cannot know God </b></i>.
That is also why I think<b>
</b>God made Moses to climb up Mount Sinai before giving him the
tablets of the Ten Commandments. So that when Moses have come face to
face in the presence of the Almighty and All powerful God he has been
humbled by the mountains. When I was years younger, back in the
Philippines I had experience climbing mountains in a place called
Laguna and it is very humbling, in fact in the middle of our trek,
going up, we were all so tired carrying our backpacks with clothes in
it and camping gears and our food, that we would get lost and all of
us will argue and fight which is the right way, to get to the
waterfall which is our final destination. Because we would have to go
through a long trek to get to it, 2 hours or so may be 3, plus it's
elevated. As we go on a little further, less and less arguments
happen because we are all tired, so tired you have no energy to
argue. I guess that's when humility kicks in when you stop arguing. I
am also thinking, God could have given the tablets to Moses without
having to climb up to Mount Sinai.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I believe</b> that if we rest our
identity in Jesus Christ we can never go wrong. The stress of
consistently carrying our job titles, posessions, fame, talents,
dreams and personal aspirations IS very taxing on our health, and can
cause distraction in worshiping the Lord. Because the Pride and Ego attached to it will eat us up in the
end. <b>Here's a scary thought</b>; <i><u>what if you get all the
things in life that you want and you still end up NOT being happy,
what now?</u></i> When we were in kinder we say when I get to be in
grade 1...then we will be happy ... when we get to be grade 2, then
when we get to be in grade 3 and so forth … we will be
happy....when we get to be in high school we will be
happy...eventually halfway to our college years we say …..when we
get a job we will be happy...when we get a nice car we will be
happy.....when we get to have a gf of bf we will be happy.....when we
get married we will be happy...when we get a house we will be
happy....when we get a child we will be happy …..and then for some,
unfortunately, they will have to say....when I get divorced, I wll be
happy....There is no assurance of happiness that this world can give.
The reality is when we get there it just vanishes away, that passion
of that new thing is just a mirage, isn't it. It doesn't satisfy.
Except the happiness and peace that the Lord Jesus Christ can and is
willing to give. He said in John chapter 14: verse 27 I give you
Peace <u><b>not as the world gives. </b></u>His
peace has eternal perspective and to think, this world is quickly
passing anyway.... Like Jonah we should be very
sensitive of our “big fish” so to speak, the one that will <u><b>take</b></u><u>
or </u><u><b>draw</b></u> us to our Savior.......i wonder, Who
amongst us in here will NOT be humbled inside the belly of a big fish
for three days?.... Our big fish could sometimes come in a person we
just met accidentally, who will help us change our perspective
positively, to some losing job, to some getting divorced, to some
death of a love one, to some freak accidents or illness or any
poignant situation that you can think of, that evokes sadness and
regrets can be the turning point of our life. Remember, you are the
one who will make that turn to the right path, because you will have
to decide, not the situation itself, situations will only appear to
be a suggestion to you, in re-aligning yourself to God. Why? Because
you have your own free will, your free will is whether you will
connect with God or not. Sometimes the “big fish” in our life is
so evident and obvious but we completely ignore it because of our
pride and ego or how we let our flesh dictates us to continue on
living our old ways. God knows how to create certain scenario in our
life that will catch our attention. So if we think we haven't
encountered our big fish yet, may be, just may be, we are not really
paying attention.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So I am suggesting</b> to
each and everyone of us including myself of course. To rest our
indentity with the Lord Jesus Christ. As His follower and servant. I
can assure you there's no false hope in Him. Just keep on exploring
the scriptures. The whole bible is a pretty good and solid evidence
that there is a loving God. And so, <b>I acknowledge the importance
of putting on </b>the full armour of God as it reads in Ephesians
chapter 6: verses 13-17 …..<i><b>13Therefore, take up the full
armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and
having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, having
girded your loins with truth, 15and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness and having shod your feet with the preparation of the
gospel of peace 16 in addition to all taking up the shield of faith
with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of
the evil one. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God.....</b></i><i> </i>So
in effect, putting on the full armor of God is an <b>illustrative
</b>way of talking, in
putting on Jesus Christ, Isn't it? He is our helmet of Salvation, He
have said I am the resurrection and the life to Martha the sister of
Lazarus whom he resurrected in John chapter11: verse 25. He said that
Resurrection and life is not an event it is a person, it is Him. He
is our breastplate of Righteousness according to Apostle Paul in
Romans chapter 3: verses 21-23 or in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse
21. That our faith in Him is our righteousness of God. He is the belt
of truth in John chapter14: verse 6. I am the way the truth and the
life. So each time we deny the truth , each time we lie, we injure
Jesus Christ because He is the Truth. He is our shoes of peace of the
gospel, He is the peace that surpasses understanding in Philippians
chatper 4: verse 7. He is our Sheild of faith, the author and
perfector of our faith in Hebrews chapter 12; verse 2. and Sword of
the word, the word who became flesh and dwelt among us in John
chapter1: verse14. So whenever we pray for the full armour of God,
we pray to put on Christ Himself. But wearing the full armour of God
is not enough if we are not battle ready. Ready to engage face to
face with our weaknesses, temptations and doubts.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It
is a decision, and it is not something that you should take it
lightly. You have to understand the minute you made that decision, it
is not going to be easy. Also, it does not mean we are not going to
falter. Fight a good fight of Faith as apostle Paul have said, it is
a struggle. Because we will be focusing more on the condition of our
spirit than of our physical body. Before, our priority is our flesh.
Now, it is our spirit. Before, we ignore and deny our spirit to
satisfy our body. Now, we ignore our flesh a little bit more. It's a
big jump! but it's worth it because the payoff will make it
worthwhile. In John chapter 6: verse 63 Jesus said: <i>It is
the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that
I have spoken to you are spirit and are life</i>.....
So, it is not about us anymore, it is all about Jesus Christ. Even
the content of our conversations, the topics we discuss with our
friends and the way we evaluate it, you will be amazed how it will
slowly change and more so, even the content of our jokes will begin
to change too. It has to! because our awareness will be different. As
it was said by the Apostle Paul in Romans 8: verses 6-8 <i><b>for
the mindset on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is
life and peace, because the mindset on the flesh is hostile toward
God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not
even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And
so to sum it all up. What is the greatest pursuit in life? It is
Knowing God. What is the greatest achievement in life? It is Serving
God. If we still cannot figure out our purpose in life like I do, I
think a good starting point will be serving God. I am not saying do
not pursue your dreams, I am just suggesting not to forget your true
identity, or maybe we can weave ambition with meaning together.
Because the scariest thing that could happen to us as Christians is
when we get to see face to face Jeus Christ himself and He will tell
us... you are a phony! I do not know you!...isn't that scary?...So
therefore having said all the characteristics of the full armor of
God as putting on Jesus Christ. If we really are an obedient follower
of the Lord Jesus and truly understand it, we will never become a
burden to ourselves (in the form of addiction), we are not going to
be a burden to our family and to others. For when we know the Truth,
the Truth will always set us free.

<span style="font-size: large;">Dear Heavenly Father, We
thank you for continually loving us inspite of our sinful ways.
Forgive us from all of our sins. Create in us the heart and mind that
you have planned for us even before we were all born. Help us in not
allowing ourselves to mis-manage our time, the Enemy may not make us
commit a sin when we are strong with the Holy Spirit but he will
atleast convince us to waste our time. Instead may we serve you...
nameless, faceless and selfless. Help us in building a life that will
last forever according to You through your Son Jesus Christ. Remain
to be our Protector, Provider and Counselor through the Holy Spirit.
In this we pray, submit and proclaim in the mighty name of your son
Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha Mashiach), the Alpha and the Omega (Aleph V
tav), the I am that I am (Ehyeh asher Ehyeh), the Good Shepherd
(Haro'eh Ha Tov), Jesus of Nazareth (Yeshua Ha Notzri). Amen</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ama namin na gumawa ng lahat, muli akong lumalapit sa inyo at nagpapakumbaba upang sumasampalataya at magpasalamat sa kung anong meron ako sa buhay ko sa mga oras na ito. Patawarin ninyo po kami sa aming pagkakasala. Patatagin Ninyo po sana ang kalooban ko na manatiling kumapit lamang sa inyong anak na si Hesu Kristo ang aming tagapagligtas. Sya lamang ang tamang daan patungo sa inyo wala ng iba. Sa kanya lang po namin makikita ang tunay na kahulugan ng aming buhay sa pamamagitan ng kanyang katotohanan. Bale-wala ang lahat ng meron kami kung hindi rin kami kakapit at aasa sa Kanya. Dahil po sa katapusan ng lahat, si Hesus lamang ang mahalaga. Kaya po itinataas ko sa inyo ang mga kapatid ko at ang kani-kanilang pamilya na hipuin mo ang kanilang puso at isipan upang magkaroon sila ng pagka-uhaw sa presensya ninyo. Unti-unting ilapit nila ang mga sarili nila sa inyo kasama ang kanilang pamilya para magkaroon sila ng tunay na kapayapaan at ilaw sa kanilang buhay, na sa inyo lamang matatagpuan. Sapagkat ang kapayapaan na naidudulot ng kamunduhan ay hindi nagtatagal at kayang kayang bawiin ng mundo sa amin. Samantalang ang kapayapaan na nanggagaling sa inyo na hindi maipaliwanag ng isip ay babantayan maigi ang aming mga puso at isipan sa ngalan ni Hesus. Maraming salamat sa buhay na ibinigay ninyo na syang nagtatalaga ng oras at panahon para ayusin ang aming buhay. Ikaw po Hesus ang huling hantungan ng aming desisyon na aming Diyos at tagapagligtas sa tulong at pag-gabay ng Santo Espirito sa araw-araw, mahal po namin kayo. Amen </span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">I just want to share something to you about my recent thoughts about a small topic I have encountered during a conversation. In understanding the difference between our weakness and our wickedness. A lot of times I myself is guilty of misusing or at the very least get confused in figuring out these two different things. It will be very helpful in the long run if we will catch it as early as possible if we are aiming to become better than we use to be. Hoping that you and I will learn something after pondering together this simple yet important topic for me.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">According to dictionary.com the definition of weakness is : the state or quality of being weak; lack of strength, firmness, vigor, or the like. Wickedness is : evil or morally bad in principle or practice. I am sure there are a lot more suitable definitions out there that you can find better but let's just take this ones for now. Later on we are not going to take them by how the dictionary defined these words but we are going to compare their individual context in daily application. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The importance of distinguishing our weakness and our wickedness is needed for us to have clarity in treading our daily journey. Not only we will open up ourselves we will also have clearer and easier way to identify the things we need to adjust in ourselves. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In weakness we can easily say " I cannot do anything about it" because it is my nature. We sugarcoat it by saying that's how I am created. There is truth to that. Like for example if you have weak eyesight, speech impediment, learning disability etc. But in spite of having those weaknesses we still want to have some development for us to go about our daily lives. I have seen a lot of people achieved great things despite their disabilities. I am sure you did too.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Wickedness on the other hand is the part of our life that we can say "I can do something about it" because there is an accountability. If we happen to be authentic in using our soul as the umpire for our actions. Soul hinges ourselves whether we align our behavior in spiritual manner or body/fleshly/selfish inclined.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">My struggle sometimes is that I tend to misuse in categorizing my wickedness versus my weakness. Looking back at the examples above if your eyesight is weak but you always have the eyes to see the bad/wrong in others then that's being judgmental and that is your wickedness not weakness. If you are weak in speech or have speech impediment but you always have the time to speak slanders, lies, insults, hateful words to others. That's not weakness that is your wickedness. Same thing with learning disability if that is your weak spot, but always have the time and ability to scam, manipulate, taking advantage of others. That is your wickedness not weakness. It's a clear cut. Being wrong has a solution, educate yourself to do what is right so that you will avoid what is wrong. Being bad however has no excuse. You can re-train your mind from doing your wrong habits. That's why it takes years and years to remove bad habits because it is intentional. Weakness is different from wickedness. Seeing things this way personally for me is helpful for our self and others. I believe that we influence others by our actions not by our words. As the old saying goes "action speaks louder than words". Maybe making a list of our weakness and wickedness won't be a bad idea to be more precise for our self improvement.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">So then if you think that you are having the same mistakes as I am. It is something that we should all think about and be aware of. If you never had a problem like these in your life ever, then this article is not for you and I apologize for dragging you down to finish this thought that does not really concern you at all. Just keep in mind that judging others is only effective if you include yourself because everyone is guilty.</span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Contentment is the most neglected and/or the most difficult thing to accomplish. Not everybody can have it, but everyone has access. Some rich and famous people do not have it. It does not depend on how much you have, who you are with or what surrounds you. Even if you have achieved so many things in life in the construct of our society in the form of a trophy, medal, a big check, etc. It is still one thing that is so hard to grasp and take a hold of. It can be seen only in how you arranged your mind because there's a lot of different things and elements in our life that is moving around. Often when we get there, when we are suppose to be contented, we are distracted by other things that are happening. We miss to acknowledge it. Contentment is not the final destination but it surely is a place that is healthy for us to stop by every now and then. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You cannot stay there because our aspirations has no ending. By the time you get the very thing you have been longing for, for a long time, you have another thing that you like to have. Sometimes halfway from getting your goal, you birth another goal. Life is not a snapshot its a continuous flowing movie that goes up and down. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Acknowledge it when you get it, by means of appreciation for you to enjoy in the most truest way. Y</span><span style="font-size: large;">ou cannot grab and hold contentment in your hands to keep because life is a journey. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are not authentic in appreciation you are coming from a discontented mindset and you will never have peace. That's the very thing why you are wanting to have contentment in your personal walk, to have peace. Fabricating contentment is fighting against it. I guess the truest way to be content is through the nature of being thankful. It's not something that can be seen or touch but something that can be felt.</span><br />

They must be envious of what we have at the present time because of the comfort of the Technology that we are experiencing. They will probably be surprised how comfortable to travel in different ways, how easy to cook, wash clothes, clean the house, etc. Yet I have a feeling that they will be even more surprised to find out how stressful our life still in spite of all the help we get from the benefits of technological advancement in our time. (Although there has to be some parts of the world that people are still living in a very simple life as described from the start, with no access to present time technology.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are times I envy people who have simple lives for having a simplistic frame of mind and they get to feel more and taste life more. Nowadays it's even a struggle for us to get a quiet time in these very loud and so many things to be busy about world, sometimes we even feel guilty for having to do nothing in laying low. Our mind runs hundred miles per second, very busy of wanting to do more, more achievements, higher salary rates, more collections, more clothes, more everything. But you know, at the end of the day what could have made our day complete are the simplest of things; harmonious conversations,
laughter, personal connections, breeze of the air, the beauty of nature, quiet moments, enjoying our meals, etc. We underestimate the importance of the simple things that we can share (which is for me the true basis of happiness) and we overestimate the significance of material things that we keep for ourselves.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am not saying having less means we will sin less. I get that we are all sinners and we are all captives of sin. I am just saying that with the help of Technology in our life these days it should have been a lot easier to find time to quiet our mind. It is surprising for me how we are still so burdened of so many things in this time of supposed to be more relaxed. Could it be that we are stressed out too much because of our greed to have more and more? Is it really going to make us happy? Maybe, just maybe, having less means peace.</span><br />

Father Thank you again for this great morning that you are presenting
to me today which is peaceful and wonderful morning. I often forget to
appreciate small things in my life but to others it's big. I
have come to realize that there are no small things because we owe
everything to you. Compared to all the people who are suffering right now in
the Philippines our country men, we have so much to be thankful for and
so many reasons to be faithful to you. As we come to you humbling
ourselves as sinners that confesses our sins on a daily basis. We ask
for your forgiveness. forgive us from being so weak and selfish Lord.
There must be a message behind this great devastation we have seen that
is so obvious which is about the issue of transforming our hearts not
only locally but wo<span class="text_exposed_show">rldwide not only
within our self but together with our family. Help us to pay really good
attention to it and take you seriously this time. Send us the Holy
Spirit to guide us and that we may have the fruits of the Holy Spirit
which are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. We lift up to you all who
were severely affected, the ones who have lost their loved ones, those
who have lost their faith in you because of this strengthen them Lord,
may the survivors rebuild their lives and family in the confidence of
your Love and Honor. We ask all of these in the name of Jesus Christ our
solid reality, King of kings, Light of the world, our sure Foundation,
our Healing and Wholeness, our Savior and our Salvation, we trust in
you. Amen</span></span></span></span></span></span></h5>
