OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST

Me at JCLAM (Jesus Christ Lord of the Ages MInistries, a Foursquare Church) in Marikina City

When we begin to truly understand ourselves, there we will find the enlightenment.. And for me, my identity could only be found in Jesus Christ.. If we want to know who we really are, then we have to go back to our Creator.. Hehehe since we are His creations.. He knows each one of us..

Cling to what is good and hate evil.. Im not saying this because Im perfect but because I have heard it, read it.. and hopefully, live with it.. We are riding in a journey going to some destination only we and God know.. Right? Enjoy your youth for some years ahead, it will pass away.. The beauty of your youthhood will soon fade...

AM I STILL WORTHY?

AM I STILL WORTHY?

At A Foursquare Church in Camarin, Novaliches

January 24, 2007 Wednesday 2:00 A.M.

After I finished reviewing my lessons in preparation for my exam on Thursday, I immediately feel the motivation to study the Bible. Or perhaps the urgency or need to refresh my mind with God's principles. I admit that I wasn't an "avid reader" of the Bible recently and my life is somewhat in messy condition. In short, I am losing the sense of direction in life. But I believe that all things happen for a purpose.


For the past few months, I've been questioning myself if I am still worthy before the presence of God. As a Christian, I stick to the promise of Jesus that if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). But at the same time, having a human mind leaves me to doubt His promise.


The Word of God gives an explicit answer to my question. As I opened my Bible, I saw Pslam 15 which cathches my attention. King David, the book's author, asked the Lord Himself: "Lord, who may dwell in Your sanctuary? Who may live on Your holy hill?" Look at the succeeding verses. This leads me to asked myself: Do I walk a blameless life? Do my deeds reighteous before His sight? Do I speak the truth from my heart and does not slander on my own tongue? Am I a good fellwoman? Do I hate the evil ways of vile men or do I participate with them? Am I giving due respect to my fellow Christians? Do I keep my oaths even if it hurts? Do I lend my money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent? When I search for myself in light of these things, I found myslef very weak and helpless. How shameful I am! With these standards, I am too far from God's holy hill. No sinful person can stand before the holy presence of God!


God reminded me that outside His presence, I will not find true peace, security, happiness, and contentment. It is only by the complete surrendering to Jesus that God will find favor upon my poor soul. I ask forgiveness from the Father for all my iniquities. May He give me the strength to overcome the things of the past and totally forsake what is left behind that hinders my relationship with Him. Lord, search my heart.


The chapter ends with this statement: "He who does these things will never be shaken." What an awesome description of a person who walks righteously before the eys of the Lord and before his fellowmen! Mountains and trials may come his way, but surely God will keep him safe and secure.

ISOLATION OR NOT?

ISOLATION OR NOT?

We can't understand ourselves in isolation;
we must relate ourselves to the totality of things.
It is only in this setting of total relationship
that the true significance and meaning
of your own life can be found.

PRINCIPLES IN LOVING
--The King's Rebel--

PRINCIPLES IN LOVING

1. Love should always be mutual, i.e., give-and-take relationship. Wag magpakamartir. If you feel that your partner doesn't love you the way you love him/her, you better check your relationship immediately. There must be something wrong.


2. Don't give too much--too much of your love. Reserve energy for yourself so that in the end you will not be hurt. Remember: too much of everything is dangerous.

BAD TRIP DAYS

BAD TRIP DAYS

Subic Beach

First Bad Trip Day:

January 16, Tuesday night--I lost my Starbucks planner somewhere in UP Diliman.. I had just claimed it in Starbucks SM Fairview with Marc Sunday evening that week.. Too bad for me.. I had put on its hard-bound covers Dragon Ball Z stickers (my favorite anime).. Hope someone will return it to me, hehehe.. I have my contact numbers and my dorm address there.. Kung hindi man ito isuli sa akin ng nakapulot, well, ayos NA DIN LANG sa akin, hehehe.. wala naman akong magagawa.. Sana lang hindi mangati ang pwet ng nakakuha nito.. Wehehehehe...

Second Bad Trip Day:

January 17, Wednesday night--The most bad trip day of all.. I have two assignments to be submitted the following day in my SPSS subject.. I planned to make them at a friend's house because I have already installed the software in his computer.. I thought I had the data I need saved on the computer but too good for me, hehehe, that when I went there, I found out that the data was not saved in the PC.. Grrr!! What I did was I did not attend my lecture class from 1-3pm.. I rushed to the computer lab to make my assignments and hey, I did it! Hahahaha.. But i'm a bit sad because my output is wala lang... Hehehehe.. You know... :-)

How I wish I have my own computer..... (Sabay ganun..)

THE NEW YEAR

THE NEW YEAR

The New Year begins. For many people, it means new resolutions. What had been done in the past would mean a shadow that needs to be forgotten. It entails new beginnings. People look for new horizons ahead that would somehow lead them to do things for their own good. This sounds good, right? At least people will have direction in life. There's a hope they're looking forward to.

Well, this is not the end of everything. And no one knows when will be the end, except the Father in heaven.. Let's continue living as what is pleasing to His sight (hopefully).
