I don’t know what is happening to me this past few days. Lost? Confused? Dispirit? Stunned? I don’t know! I’m longing for something, but I don’t know what is it. I can’t focus. I easily get angry. I’m always worried. I’m afraid! I want to go to somewhere, far from here, I want to be alone just for once. Ugh! I think my brain will burst and fall into pieces. I can’t hardly breathe. It feels like as if somebody was gripping my throat. The feeling is awful, unexplainable.

Jesus beckoned to me but I neglect him, instead I go to the other way. I admire human approval rather than the approval of God. Harsh but true. Wake up Vincent, wake up!

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Deuteronomy 31:8

I know that I still learn things the hard way. The Father sent a Holy Spirit who’s always there to reminded us in all the things that we do and never leave us (John 14:15), but in times of trial I mistrust him. Why? I don’t know. I don’t want this kind of feeling anymore. Apathetic me. I am ashamed of myself. So sorry Lord. I know you have a great purpose in my life. I will never leave you this time, I will continue walking with you Lord even it hurts on my part. Everything’s will be alright. All I need is faith and trust my life according to your will.

Be Firm to say No!

As I turned on the television a while ago, I changed the channel and it turns out to channel 11, News TV. The show that time is “The 700 Club Asia.” I came to the house at past 11pm, I’m nervous knowing that my mom will be mad at me again. And then, Booom! She did not talk nor yell at me. Is it a good or a bad sign? Coming back to the t.v. program I was tuned in. I was shocked when the Host/Pastor pray for the viewers who are being depressed that time (which is me). I joined the prayer and I was a glad that God made a way to tell me that don’t be depress. I know this is only a test. And in time, God will made a way to pick-up the broken trust I put to their minds.

 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

-Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)

Napakaganda ng verse na ito. It only says that, we must come to the Lord. Us who are tired, burdened, depressed. He will take away all the negative feelings that we kept inside. He will give us rest. Kung tayo man ay nabibigatan. Nandiyan Siya at handang tumulong upang buhatin ang ating mga pasan-pasan.

    As a christian, servant and a child of God I struggle a lot after I encounter Him. Diyan ka itetest. Malalaman mo kung hanggang saan yung conviction mo. Can you stand on what you believe in? Sabi nga ng cell leader ko, “Hahanapin ni Satan kung saan ang weakness mo. At iyon ang itatarget niya, titirahin niya, to bring you down, to keep you fall into sin.”  I almost fall into sin again, but I say NO! I say NO to the evil spirit who always there to tempt me. After you receive Christ in your life, you must live the way just like the way Jesus Christ lived. Kumbaga nabubuhay ka, nakilala ka hindi sa pangalan mo. Nakikilala ka as a Christ-like person. Alam ko hindi lang ito ang pagdadaan ko. Habang mas tumatagal at lumalalim ang relationship natin kay God, mas hihirap ang mga struggles na pagdadaanan natin. Basta ako. I believe! I believe na makakaya ko ‘to. Syempre sa tulong niya. Just relax, self-control, read the bible, pray, and trust to the Lord. Makakaya natin/ko ito.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Just always remember that verse. God has a plan for us. Hindi niya tayo ginigipit, bagkus this will help us to prosper more, to grow more, and to Love Him moreeee. Amen. 🙂
