Kung alam mo na ngang walang kwenta ang boyfriend, hindi na dapat pinagtutuunan ng panahon at pansin. Kasi kung talagang mahal ka, hindi ka sasaktan, hindi ka papaasahin, hindi ka bastang iiwan sa ere na wala man lang sinabing dahilan para sa paghihiwalay. Yung hindi ka na sisiputin para mag usap kayo sa huling sandali. Sorry for the term, pero, "ANG TANGA" lang. Oo, andun na tayo sa hindi magandang pakiramdam na ikaw yung iniwan, ikaw yung niloko, ikaw yung nasasaktan, ikaw yung parang kawawa. Pero still in the end katangahan talaga. Kaya ka nasasaktan kasi dahil dun sa term na yan. Ayaw nating masabihan pero yun ang ginagawa natin eh. Bakit ka mag uubos ng panahon sa pagkatanga? Sino ba namang tao, ang sobrang naging masaya kasi ang tanga nya? Sige sabihin mo sa akin, "ang sakit mo naman magsalita, wala ka naman sa sitwasyon ko." At sasabihin ko sayo, oo wala ako dyan sa sitwasyon mo dahil di ko naman boyfriend ang boyfriend mo, pero ang lakas ko sabihin sayo ito kasi minsan na rin akong nabaliw, nagpakatanga sa maling pag ibig. At isa pang OO, oo mali yang pag ibig mo sa tao na yan.
Babae ka. Alam mo dapat ang halaga mo. Ginawa si Eba kasi "KAILANGAN" sya ni Adan. Walang naisulat sa Bibliya na si Adan, humiling sa Lord para gawan sya ng isang Eba. Pero gumawa si Lord ng Eba kasi nga "KAILANGAN" So, kung hindi ka pinahahalagahan, sabihin ko sayo, kahit ikaw naman...
Minsan kang may sasabihin, pero sa pagtagal ng panahon bigla mo na lang itong lilimutin.
Paanong nagbago ang isip?
Paanong nag-iba yung paniniwala?
Paanong nababasag ang mga pinangako?
Paanong parang bula, bigla na lng nawala ang ano mang sinalita?
Bakit ang salitang "minsan" ay nananatiling "minsan?"
Yung "minsan" na akala natin ay walang katapusan.
Yun pala...
...
...
...
ang lahat ay tinatapos ng salitang "minsan."
Madalas kung ano ang uso yun ang gusto natin na meron tayo o maging tayo. Kung ano yung tunog sikat ay yun ang gusto nating mangyari sa sarili natin. Hindi naman masama ang magbago. Hindi rin mali ang maging "innovative." Kaya lang siguro nagiging masagwa ang mga salitang ito ay dahil pinipilit natin at hindi natin binibigyan ng tyansa na maging natural ang mga bagay na ito sa atin.
Katulad halimbawa ng pagkakaroon ng iphone6 o kahit anong latest na gadget. Hindi mali ang magkaroon nyan kung kaya mong bumili nyan.
Natural lang.
Hindi mali ang mangarap ka na maging artista kung meron ka talagang talento sa ganyan, natural lang.
Hindi masamang magsuot ng skinny jeans kung skinny ka, natural yan.
O ang magsuot ng salamin dahil malabo ang mata, natural lang.
Hindi ba't nagiging maganda at maayos ang lahat kapag natural lang?
Yung natural mong gagawin ang isang bagay dahil gusto mo. Yung natural kang kikilos at hindi na kailangan ng ekstra "effort." Yung hayahay ang buhay dahil nabubuhay ka ng natural.
Sadyang mahirap kasi ang isang bagay kapag pinilit. At kadalasan sa pinilit ay nasisira. Pumapangit. Nawawala sa orihinal na nilalaman at dahilan.
Katulad halimbawa sa isang relasyon na pinilit...
Pinilit ang isang relasyon kapag minadali ito.
Kapag hindi pinagplanuhan.
Kapag hindi pinag-isipan.
Kapag inuna ang tibok ng damdamin.
Kapag sa pisikal lang nagka-inlaban at hindi sa kalaliman ng tunay na katauhan.
Ang relasyon na ganito, natatapos lang sa hiwalayan. Sa sakitan. Sa samaan ng loob. Pagkaubos ng pera. At pagkaubos ng ligaya.
Kadalasan sa mga piniit ay hindi lang pagdating sa pakikipagrelasyon nasisira, kundi pati sa kung sino ang kanyang totoong pagkatao. Dahil nadidiktahan ng "society." Dahil naaapektuhan ng "media." Hirap silang makita kung sino talaga sila. Hirap silang magdesisyon ano ba ang mga bagay na talagang gusto nilang maging para sa buhay nila. Madalas nakatingin sa ibang tao. Ngunit malimit makita na ang tao ay ginawang magkakaiba.
"Unique"
Walang katulad.
Naiiba.
Walang pangit.
Lahat maganda.
Lahat ay...
Natural.
Lahat ay nilikhang natural. Upang mabuhay ng natural. Mabuhay ng naayon sa orihinal na disenyo sa kanya ng Panginoon na lumikha.
Yung hindi mo pipillitin na maging ikaw yung hindi ikaw. Bagkus hayaan na lumabas sayo ang mga katangian na natural. Mga katangian na orihinal nang nasa iyo.
Wag mong pilitin, bagkus hayaan mong lumabas ang natural na ikaw. Gulo man ang isip mo sa kung sino ang natural na ikaw, ngunit ang Panginoon hindi kailanman malilito sa kung sino ang natural na ikaw.
Psalm 139 NIV
v.4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
v.13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
v.14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Dumarating ang mga panahon na halos parang ang dami mong naiisip, ang dami mong gustong gawin, ang dami mo gustong mangyari. Pero madalas, halos wala kang masimulan o kung meron man... eh wala kang matapos.
Bakit gumugulo ang isip? Bakit kung minsan parang walang direksyon? Bakit halos walang patunguhan? Para bang walang hanggan...
Isip ka ng isip...
Isip ka ng isip...
Isip ka ng isip...
Hanggang sa napagod ka na lang sa kaka-isip ng isip. Napagod ka. Huminto. At tuluyang wala ng nangyari. Saan na napunta ang naisip mo? Parang bula na pumutok at naglaho sa kawalan.
Nawalan ng saysay.
Nasayang.
Nasayang yung idea mo na sa orihinal ay may katuturan. Nasayang yung panahon na dapat may pinatunguhan yung nasimulan. Nasayang yung lakas na ginugol mo para sa bagay na naisip mo.
Natapos.
Natuldukan.
Ngunit...
Walang kinahinatnan.
May kung anong susulpot sa isip mo.
Isang tanong:
"anong dapat gawin?"
Isang bagay.
Sa isang bagay ituon muna ang pansin.
Isang bagay ang simulan. At ito ay tapusin.
Tayo ay meron lamang dalawang kamay, dalawang paa, dalawang mata, isang ilong, dalawang tenga, isang puso at isang isip, at nag-iisang buhay. Meron tayong dalawangpu't apat na oras sa isang araw. Tanggapin mo na hindi lahat ng maisip mo ay kayang tapusin sa loob ng isang araw. At kahit isang octopus na maraming galamay ay hnd magagawa lahat ng nais nito sa loob ng isang araw.
"one at a time" ika nga.
Hindi porket isang "multi-tasker" ay masasabi na ito ay magaling. Ayon sa isang artikulo: "human mind isn’t meant to multitask." Kung kaya't magtuon ka lamang muna sa isa. Simulan at tapusin.
Ngunit bukod sa pag-iisip, ay haluan mo ito ng panalangin upang tiyak na meron kang gabay mula sa Panginoon.
Proverbs 16:3 (NIV)
"3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans."
Sa ganitong paraan, paniguradong gagaan ang pag-iisip mo. Isip na may direksyon. Isip na may patutunguhan. Isip na may maganda at maayos na kahihinatnan.
"The love for money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs (1 Timothy 6:10 NIV).
For what is more important to us? Is it the riches of this world or to seek the Kingdom of the Lord? For what is more beneficial? to help the poor or accept a bribe?
It is said, "Nothing in this world is permanent" and "nothing in this world you could bring afterlife" So why settle on things which perishes? God in His word said,
"do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19-20)
And yes, it will be better for anyone to live after the Kingdom of God than after what is popular in this world and in this generation.
As good works counts to nothing, our mighty efforts will never sustain us. It is only the Lord whom will sustain us. It is by the Might of God which sustains a person. It is by His mighty words that makes a person firm and not shaken. It is by the voice of the Lord, which makes a person who hears it stand strong. It is through obedience in His word and have it for a living that really sustains a person. As His words has shown it:
"I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. (Psalm 3:5). The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed. (Isaiah 50:4)
Rebellion should never have a place in your heart, not even as-small-as-a-mustard-seed space. No place for it to grow. The Lord said in His word, "Beware of turning to evil" No! A person cannot serve two masters at a time, for He will love the other more. "Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other." (Matt 6:24, Luke 16:13)
What now?
It is the word of the Lord which guides us. Now, be guided by reading and meditating this word of the Lord and gladly apply it in your life and surely you will be prosperous and successful (see Joshua 1:8).
The Lord is mighty and beyond compare! He despises no one but gives fairly what is just. He alone is the Almighty and powerful. He is a never changing God. What He proclaims will be fulfilled and will not return to Him void. At the command of his voice, He has produced light. He said, "Let there be light, and there is light. In His word, He has created the Earth. And by His hand, He has created mankind. He purposed to rain heavily and there was a great flood, and He also held rain not to pour on earth and there was drought.
He keeps His words and fulfill His promises. He said in His word, He will send a Savior for mankind and then there was Jesus who has been crucified, a sacrifice to cleanse our sins.
The Lord is so firm in His purpose! What He has promised to be fulfilled in your life, it will be! Believe in Him, He is GOD!
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." (1 Corinthians 1:19). The prayer of the wicked He will not hear, but gives full attention to the cry of the needy, the afflicted, the righteous ones.
The Lord will take good care of His flocks. He will take good care of those whose joy is to follow and obey His word, those who cling and believe in Him, those who finds humility and understanding upon the Lord. Oh! It is really a great blessing to live for the Lord and to be at His side at all times!
Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathaniel asked. "Come and see," said Philip.
-------------------------------------
Nazareth was an obscure town never mentioned in the OT. It had also become a place of barracks from Roman troops who brought their foreign gods with them, as well as their sins and oppression of the Jews. These factors made it seem improbable that Nazareth could be the hometown of the Messiah. (source: QUEST STUDY BIBLE)
"Can anything good come from there?"
As we received Jesus in our life, we are changing. The Spirit of the Lord changes us. Whenever we are sent to a place to preach the word of the Lord, the truth about God, some people will be skeptical about "Is there anything good in this person?" People may even check our background. Where we have come from, who we were before, what is our status, and question about all other things about us and have their basis there. Yes, it may seems that there is no good from us, but there is goodness from the Lord---who changes us into a person worth of anything which is good.
Wherever you have come from, or whatever is your past life and practices, whoever you were before, is irrelevant from who you are today and what you do for the Lord as you live in service in Him. There is goodness in us because we have the Spirit of the Lord dwelling inside of us. The Lord said in His word, "behold, I am making all things new." It is as if He is telling us, "Take heart, I can change all of my creation into something which is good, pleasing and perfect."
Is there anything good from where we have come from? Is there anything good from what family we have belonged? You may have come from a family which is cursed with poverty, or mental illness, or of being widowed, or of being a slave, or of murderers, or loneliness, or of broken family, or of sickness and diseases, and the like. If so, is it really, nothing good will come from there? Behold, God is a God and Mighty beyond compare! He has the power to break all curses we inherit from our ancestors. We came from a family line which is sinful in nature (from Adam and Eve), yet the Lord who cares for us and is so much loves us sent Jesus to break every curses that this world has. There is hope in Jesus! There is hope to become better and best of what we can become regardless of where we have come from. Regardless of our family line's background.
"There is an exception from every rule," now be that exception from your family. Break the curse, make it stop from you and the generation which will come next to you will be free of those curses which is inherited because you have decided to be changed and become something good out of the place where it seems nothing good will come out.
Why was God, let Jesus come from Nazareth?
It is to let people know that the Lord is fair, and care greatly for his flocks. It is to let people see how the power of the Lord works. It is to let people know that Jesus can relate to us---human being, what we have experiencing here on earth.
"God chose the lowly things in this world and the despise things---and the things that are not---to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. (1 Corinthians 1:28-29)
John 1:46
"Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathaniel asked. "Come and see," said Philip.
John 1:50-51
Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that." 51 He then added, "Very truly I tell you, you will see 'heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on' the Son of Man."
Water is the most common used representation of the Holy Spirit. The water has been used to refreshened, to cleansed or purified. Water in the NT has been used for many signs and wonders of Jesus. (E.g turning water into wine, Peter's walking on the water, Jesus' rebukes the raging waters)
The Lord desires that we, as His servant to fill our jars with water. A pure water which will filled us up to the brim. Note, He said "to the brim." He does not simply say "be filled" but specifically "be filled to the brim." The Lord wants only what is best end excellent for our life. And we should not be contented with something which is average, which is only half-way of what the Lord fully wants for us, or for which is a mediocre way of mind setting. The Lord wants us to accomplish the fullness of whom we really are in the eyes of God, the way He sees us, the way He destined and purposed us.
The Lord wants us to be FULLY filled with water---to be fully filled with the Holy Spirit. To be cleansed, purified, and be renewed everyday. To soak ourselves into the water. To indulge ourselves with water---the best solvent of all impurities.
Though water is the most simple, having its substance of being tasteless, odorless and colorless, yet it is the best of all! Nothing we can compare to its uniqueness! Though the world may offer us many alternatives for water, no one can replace the real benefit of water which the Lord made and offered. Like how the world offered us so many alternatives on how to live our life, yet nothing can replace the benefit of a truthful living which the Lord has offered us and also has given us a guide for how we can attain it. This kind of living is the BEST rather than having alternatives. Because it is natural and most effective!
Though our jars contain only "water", the Lord, the Lord of all miracles and wonders can make the very best out of it. Though it may look simple in the eyes of men, yet by the powerful hands of the Lord, He can make this simple water in us to be a very special liquid which no one can resist that what it is, is yet the best they ever experienced having in their lives. What I mean is, though you live a simple life, yet you live soaking yourself in the presence of the Holy Spirit, you will have a great impact to the people around you, you will become a blessing to all of them, and they will never negate the truth that having the Lord involved in one's life is the BEST of all!
Now live as if you were a fountain producing water, refreshing every soul through the work of the word of the Lord in your life. Live as a jar of water, unlimited when it pours. Live as a life-producing water for every soul. Live, having a large portion of living water in your life. But attain to have this living water to be the full portion of you, a water in a jar which is filled to the brim!
John 2:7-11
7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled it to the brim.
8 Then he told them, "now draw some out and take it out to the master of the banquet."
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realized where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guest have had much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Water (MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY)
-major constituent (an essential part, compose) of all living matter
-when pure is odorless, tasteless
-poor conductor of electricity and a good solvent (can dissolve)
Nitong mga nakaraang araw, nabibilib ako sa mga may edad na dahil sa mga samu't saring bagay ang mga naranasan na nila. Nasabi kong "mahirap ang buhay at punong-puno ng mga 'challenges', pero pinili nilang malampasan lahat ng yun." Kung hindi ka magiging matibay, hindi mo talaga kakayanin.
Pero hindi ibig sabihin na kapag bata ka pa ay wala ka pang kakayahan na unawain kung ano ang buhay at kung paano mabuhay. Sa pag-oobserba, makakabuo ng isang konklusyon, na maaring ikakabuti or posible din naman na nakakasama.
Ang sabi noon nung kabataan ko, "huwag makinig or sumagot sa usapan ng mga matatanda." Pang matatanda lang daw iyon, at hindi mauunawan ng musmos kong kaisipan. Pero nung nadadagdagan na ang edad ko, nalaman ko na kaya sinasabi yun ng mga matatanda ay gusto lang nila itago ang mga bagay na yun sa mga bata (kung ano man pinag-uusapan nila nung araw na iyon). Naisip ko, bakit sinasabi ng mga mas nakatatanda sa akin na bawal ang magsinungaling pero bakit ang iba, ultimong magulang nagagawang magsinungaling sa kanilang anak? Sinasabi nila, "huwag mag-boyfriend or mag-girlfriend, bata pa kayo." Pero bakit ang ilang mas nakakatanda, nakapag-asawa ng maaga? Kapag hindi na bata pwede ng mag-boyfriend or mag-girlfriend? Bakit ang ilan pwede kahit may asawa at mga anak na? (teka, bakit nga ba nauso ang boyfriend/girlfriend?). Anyway, hindi ko sinasabing mali ang mga payo ng matatanda, kung tutuusin ayos ang makinig sa kanila dahil naranasan na nila ang mga bagay-bagay dito sa mundo. Naranasan na nilang magkamali at ayaw nilang maranasan din natin ang mga pagkakamaling iyon. Pero, kailangan pa bang danasin talaga ang isang bagay para matutunan?
Tulad halimbawa sa eskwelahan, hindi lahat ng natututunan natin doon ay nararanasan, at hindi lahat ng nararanasan ay matututunan natin doon. Halimbawa ang Math at Science, natututunan natin sa eskwelahan at nararanasan sa araw-araw nating buhay pero ang History, natututunan natin, pero hindi naranasan nating mga nasa bagong henerasyon. Ang ma-inlove, hindi natin yun natututunan sa eskwelahan pero nararanasan. Ang pag-ahon sa sakit ng mga namatayan hindi din natututunan sa eskwelahan. Ang pagiging matatag sa buhay hindi natututunan sa eskwelahan, pero pwede nating matutunan.
Sinasabing, "bata ka pa marami ka pang kakaining bigas." Totoo, pero may divine gift ang Lord para sa lahat---yun ang "WISDOM" at "UNDERSTANDING"
Tulad ng sa pag-ibig, sinasabing "age doesn't matter" ganito rin sa buhay "age doesn't matter." Hindi porket bata ka ay wala ka ng alam. Hindi porket mas bata ka ay hindi ka magaling. Hindi porket bata ka pa ay wala ka ng karapatan para magbigay ng "advice" or ang magsalita tungkol sa kung ano ang katotohanan. Blessed ka kung matututo ka habang bata ka pa, dahil di mo kailangang danasin para mo matutunan or para ma-prove mo ang katotohanan. (Though ang ibang bagay, kailangan mo din talagang danasin para matutunan).
Gusto mo maging wais habang bata ka pa? Gusto maging magaling habang bata ka pa? Simple lang ang payo ko, pero kahit bata pa ako, sana sundin mo din ito. Magpasakop ka sa Panginoon, ito ang sikreto ng pagiging tunay na wais. Mabuhay ka sa salita ng Diyos, ito ang magdudulot sayo upang gumaling. At magkaroon ka ng relasyon (at hindi relihiyon) sa Panginoon.
Magiging matalino at magaling ka hindi dahil sa edad na meron ka, kundi dahil sa Spirit ni Lord na nagbibigay ng "understanding". Bata, matanda, may ngipin o wala, lahat ay pwedeng magkaroon ng "divine wisdom." Lumapit ka sa Panginoon at bibigyan ka nya ng pang.unawa at talino (James 1:5). Sundin at mabuhay ka sa mga salita ng Panginoon at tiyak babaguhin ka nito. At magkaroon ka ng maayos na relasyon sa Panginoon at Siya mismo ang magbibigay ng "wisdom" at "understanding" sa iyo (kahit bata ka man sa edad mo).
Job 32:7-9
7 I thought, 'Age should speak;
advanced year should teach wisdom.'
8 But it is the Spirit in a person,
the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
The Lord Almighty speaks to us in any way or manner that we could hear Him or give our attention to Him. For the Lord has great love for us, in which he keeps us from falling away from Him, turned us from wrongdoings, keep us from perishing and preserve from going into the waterless pit. He speaks to us everyday. Those who have ears says the Lord, let them hear. But then receive understanding from the Lord.
He caused a man to fall into a deep sleep and gives him a dream, a message or a warning which comes directly from the mouth of God. So that he, like a sheep of a good Shepherd will not go astray in this life. He also gives vision to man. As the Bible says it, "without vision, the people perish."
Without the word of the Lord, we will not be healed nor will be changed. Without receiving the tune of the voice of the Lord, we will never escape from falling into the waterless pit nor from destruction of the sword of the Lord. Without the Holy Spirit in our life, we can never experience to see visions from the Lord. Without the intervention of the Lord, we can never had warnings in our dreams.
The Lord doesn't want to keep the truth from us. As much as He loves us, He wants us to be truth-knowing. The Lord wants us to be wise at all times, at all circumstances of life and the life itself. Let us have the heart to seek understanding from the Lord, to seek all of the truth from the Lord, to seek vision from Him and desire to see His mind and have it.
The Love of the Lord for us is so great! Understand and perceive this!
Now, do not resist the voice of the Lord. Know the Lord and perceive His messages and delight in his warnings. And always be thankful for what the Lord has done for us.
Job 33:14-18
14 For God does speak---now one way, now another---
A Spirit-lead person will not be burdened by the words he will preach. He does not need to find eloquent words to make his preaching powerful and effective but it is the Lord Almighty whom will preach directly through him. The word of the Lord said, "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit," do not resist the Holy Spirit's conviction (paraphrased). Do not withheld your tongue from speaking the word of the Lord. Let it out, to accomplish its purpose. Do not keep the message of the Lord within you when it has to be spread out and be heard by the people.
Speak when the Spirit speaks, rebuke when the Spirit rebukes, give word of blessings when the Spirit blesses someone, prophesy when the Spirit leads you to, be full of words from the Lord. It is the Spirit of the Lord that keeps us alive. It is the same Spirit who compels us to be full of words to preach.
Never would you stop speaking for the truth, and for what is just and for what is right. Stand firm in the precepts of the Lord, and surely you will never be shaken nor be moved. Outburst, break free and encourage the flocks of sheep of the Lord to return home.
Show no partiality like Jesus who teach the word of God strongly in accordance of the truth. No partiality, no favouritism, no bias. Become objective when you judge. Have integrity and judge fairly.
The word of the Lord never had flatter anyone. It is a rebuke in the wicked's point of view but, good, perfect and pleasing in the righteous' point of view.
As for you and for me, know that word of the Lord is never for flattery, but it should remain to be at its design and purpose---to be a life, a breath of God to those whom would have heard and will hear.
An Arab chief tells a story of a spy who was captured and then sentenced to death by a general in the Persian army.
This general had the strange custom of giving condemned criminals a choice between the firing squad and the big, black door.
As the moment for execution drew near, the spy was brought to the Persian general, who asked the question, "What will it be: the firing squad or the big, black door?"
The spy hesitated for a long time. It was a difficult decision. He chose the firing squad.
Moments later shots rang out confirming his execution. The general turned to his aide and said, "They always prefer the known way to the unknown. It is characteristic of people to be afraid of the undefined. Yet, we gave him a choice."
The aide said, "What lies beyond the big door?"
"Freedom," replied the general. "I've known only a few brave enough to take it."
In life, you always have a choice to do the right thing over the wrong thing.
You can choose to do things that will help you grow spiritually or you don't. You can choose to read your Bible or watch television instead. You can choose to memorize God's Word or read a celebrity magazine.
Ultimately, every decision will lead you to a consequence.
So be smart in making decision and be serious in growing your faith.
We sometimes build anxious cares but that was really unnecessary. Again, problems will always be present but remember that God's mercy is GREATER. Whenever we stumble or falter, we will always be surrounded by God's grace. His Mercy remains and He never fails. Also, I have never seen any account or story that the Lord, the Creator failed in his words.
