I am grateful because.
Who am I,
that the eyes that see our sin,
Would look on me with love,
And watch me rise again?

“Free yourself from hatred. Forgive and let go.” -
Na-offend ka ba? (Sana basahin mo!)
Your friend broke his promise? Sorry, but before you take action, sagutin mo muna ito: Pano kaya nagreact si God nun na-break mo yung promise mo sakanya?
Nagsinungaling siya saiyo ng bongga? Masakit maloko. Pero bago ka sumabog sa galit, isipin mo: Pano kaya nagreact si God nung nagsinungaling ka sakanya?
Neglected? Forgotten? Left behind? OUCH. Rejection hurts. Pero before mo sila bawian at di magreply sa texts nila, let’s be honest.. Have you ever neglected God? Naging attentive ka ba sa kung anong gusto niya mangyari sa buhay mo? None of us have.
The key to forgiving others is to quit focusing on what they did to you and start focusing on what God did for you.
Pero unfair, Beth! May kailangan magbayad sa mga kasalanan nila sakin! Masakit yun ano!!
Tama, masakit nga. May kailangan magbayad, at nabayaran na Niya ng lubos.
Beth, di mo gets. Itong taong ito na nanakit sakin, hindi niya deserve yung forgiveness! Di mo kilala yung taong yun! Hindi niya deserve yung awa! hindi niya deserve ang forgiveness!
Hindi niya nga deserve. Pero ikaw ba deserving?
Besides ano pa ang other choice mo? Galit din? The alternative is not appealing. Look what happens when we refuse to forgive, “The master was very angry and put the servant in prison to be punished until he could pay back everything that he owed” (Matthew 18:34)
Unforgiving servants always end up in prison. Prisons of anger, guilt, and depression. Hindi kailangan na si Lord pa ang gumawa ng prison natin kasi tayo mismo ang gumagawa ng prisons natin! “Some men stay healthy till the day they die…others have no happiness at all; they live and die with bitter hearts” (Job 21:23-25 TEV)
Hatred will sour your outlook in life and break your back. Masyadong mabigat yang dinadala mong galit. Your knees will buckle under the strain, and your heart will break beneath the weight. The wisest choice-the only choice-is for you to drop the anger. Kaya mong magpatawad kasi may isang Diyos na unang nagpatawad ng mas malaki mong kasalanan.
At dahil umabot ka sa dulo ng post ko, THANK YOU! Tunay kitang follower. <3

“They say Christianity is for the weak people. But it takes great courage to repent before a Holy God and tell Him the truth about yourself—That you’ve lied, you’ve hurt people, you’ve cheated; you’ve been greedy, dishonest, unfaithful, and self-centered. Apparently, it’s for people who’s willing to face the pain and embarrassment of declaring the obvious state they are in.” — Bill Hybels, paraphrased, (Who you are when nobody’s looking) -
We don’t need to hate backstabbers.
They are just people like us, who are deprived of love, joy, peace.. and a Saviour. They just really need Christ to show them that whatever pain they’ve had doesn’t have to be passed on to others. Jesus can heal their pain.
So.. Instead of hating, I am pledging to love them, support them, and pray for them. Most importantly, introduce Jesus to them.

There is forgiveness in God’s presence.

Lord, please heal this broken heart.

Surely, God won’t forgive me again for the same thing I just confessed to Him last week!
I often hear this sentence from many people. But the most common of it all is:
“Matagal na akong hindi nakapagsimba, nagtatampo na saakin si Lord”
But I’m here to tell you one simple truth about this: God forgives us every time we CONFESS our sins before Him and fully repent of it.
Imagine that, EVERYTIME! HE FORGIVES US, EVERYTIME. Wow, even I am amazed at this truth every day.
Kasi if you think about it, it’s already so hard to forgive a friend who constantly bullies you and makes you feel like shit. Yet even though we treat God like that, He forgives us every time!
He is just so amazing. :)
