Verse: Psalms 1:1-3 (English)

Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
² but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
³ That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.

What makes us a real winner is when we fail, we still continue to fight.

3 things na makapagsasabing ang taong ito ay magtatagumpay:

1. May paninindigan (v. 1a)

Daniel – ang paninindigan ni Daniel at ng kanyang mga kaibigan.

‘Manindigan sa tama

‘Matutong magsabi ng HINDI sa mga bagay na alam mong mali.

2. May kakaiba (v. 1b)

– Hindi sumasama sa sinumang tao na ang adhika’y pagtawanan lamang at hamak-hamakin ang Diyos na dakila.

– Hindi dapat katulad ng iba na patuloy sa paggawa ng kasalanan dahil sa pag-iisip na patatawarin at patatawarin sila ng Diyos. (Jn 1:9)

He is a just God. Ayaw Niyang maki-ayon tayo sa mga makamundong bagay. Dapat tayong maging against the flow ng mundo dahil nga kakaiba tayo. (2 Cor 5:17)

A. Mamuhay aayon sa kalooban ng Diyos.

 B. Mamuhay ng malinis at may kabanalan.

C. Mamuhay kasama ng Diyos.

Mamuhay taayo ng kasama ang Diyos ng tayo ay maging kakaiba.

3. May gabay. (v. 2)

– Yung iba, ginagawa ang mga makamundong bagay dahil nakikita nilang ginagawa din ito ng iba.

– Ngunit ang taong may GABAY ay alam kung ano ang MALI sa TAMA.

Gamitin ang kanyang salita bilang gabay. Sabi nga ni Rick Warren, ang Biblia ay ang Manual ng buhay ng isang tao.

Hindi lang basta basahin, kundi saliksikin natin. Ganoon ang gusto ng Panginoon. Pagbulay-bulayan nating ang kanyang salita na parang kumakain at dinudurog iyon para maabsorb ang nutrients.

Pag nakita ng ibang tao na kalugod-lugod ang ating buhay, magiging blessing ito sa kanila at makikilala nila ang Diyos na buhay na ating sinasamba.

Patuloy tayong mamuhay ng panalo sa piling ng ating Panginoon!

I Am But A Wanderer

I am but a wanderer

who lives earthly life to the fullest

not by means of achieving earthly wealth

but by being worthy for the borrowed life from the King.

 

I am but a wanderer

who is destined to rescue bewildered souls

used by the King as an instrument

‘coz it is my purpose to follow all His will.

 

I am but a wanderer

who is not ashamed of Him

I’ll shout His name with all my strength

behind those insulting smiles,

lurking in the shadows of Hell

 

I am but a wanderer

who shares the Word of God

and testifies His goodness

for both stubborn and righteous ones.

 

I am but a wanderer

an alien, a foreigner

and an informal settler of the Earth

because my True Home is Paradise.

My Home

My Lord, I need You
I neede You yesterday
to achieve my present.
I need You today
for my Stable Future,

A Stable Future
with You, literally on my side.
A Stable Future
without pain and sorrows.

The Real Place
where I am destined to settle
to live with eternal bliss
and unlimited heavenly riches.

Vulnerable

My Master, I am weak
My Father, I am sick
My Lord, I am distressed
My Maker, I am displeased

You made me strong
You made no wrong
You brought up the sun
And saved me through Your Son.

Just relax!

be honest

Be happy

Be powerful

A stone-hearted girl turns into a sheep

She has a low self-esteem. She has good grades, but she thinks her hard works are not enough, that she doesn’t deserve her title..She only got that title because they were only 16 in the class and the school has no other choice to have one, but ONLY her. She hates everyone. When she walks to school, she frowns her face without any reason. She always feel like everyone is cheating on her, judging her and interpreting her behavior with false thoughts. When she gets mad, she throws objects and breaks anything that she holds. She is a loner. She always has the dramatic posts on different social networking sites. She has few friends but she doesn’t trust anyone. She have been deceived by someone whom she treated like a sister. She is also taken for granted by her first love. She has been cyber-bullied by the another girlfriend of her first love. She runs to God only when she needed help. She only thanks God when blessings come to her shortly and after few minutes, she forgets Him again. She never reads the Bible.

She is now dead. The new one is born again because of the love of Jesus Christ the Savior. The new one is born again.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17,NIV)

She had accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior about a year ago. She is now active in the activities of their church. She belongs to drama team, she is served as one of the instruments used by God to win souls. She became one of the officers of the Young People of their church. She have gained best friends, she is reading Bible more often, she can do a customize prayer alone and she is in a relationship with God. She thinks that these changes in her life is the fruit of the unconditional love of God for her. She never decline to have the desire to be with God forever even though sometimes she becomes spiritually hungry. She also knows that there are more blessings that will come on her way only when she stand firmly in the Most Holy Name of JESUS CHRIST, the Savior.

Magical Trasnformation

I glorify Your Name to the highest

My King, my Creator, my Heavenly Father

You are my Everything

From mud, I became sand

From tomb, I rose and flew so high

In the dessert, I saw an oasis

I’ve had bread though wheat fields are dry,

From the gates of Hades,

You set me free

Through the precious blood

Of Your most Holy Son.

Through faith,

I can have wings

That will take me

To the ends of the earth.

I can walk on water

And watch the sea gulls

play under the sea

I can touch the sky

And snatch the moon and stars.

In Him, impossibility remains silent.
