I Still Believe

Title: I Still Believe
Scripture:
Proverbs 16:1
The plans of the mind belong to mortals, but the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

Proverbs 16:9
The human mind plans the way,
    but the Lord directs the steps.

Hello, how have you been? Kumusta?

Tonight, I unexpectedly watched a movie and its title is I Still Believe. This movie is based on the true story of an American singer and his faithful wife who died of cancer. I can relate to the movie because in the last two months my sister passed away because of her heart and skin disease. 

Just like how the married couple in the movie keep their faith in God so as our family, until my sister's last breath, prayed for healing and God's will.

My sister was in great pain. I saw her and it hurt me so much. I prayed to God. I prayed to God to heal my sister, I asked for a miracle. God has extended my sister's life for a week. 
But not a single word did she say she's going to die. She said , "laban lang tiwala lang."

When we pray it doesn't mean that it is going to happen the way we want it to be. We can say everything to God, we can tell him all. BUT, the answer is up to God, what He wants and wills.

When the will of God prevails, we need to accept it even when we don't understand it, even when it is a matter of life and death.

God is good, God is faithful, God is true to his words and promises, God has the best plan for all of us.

God gives us life on earth to experience the seasons of life ( in comfort and in pain) and he is always there for us. Life is about experiencing God's greatness in different ways. Death may seem the end but it's the time we can fully be with God through our faith in Jesus Christ.

We can trust God even when we can't see
Even when we can't see, let's still believe. And that's Faith.

"Suffering does not destroy faith, it refines it."
"God is worth trusting even when we can't see.'' (Melissa Henning-Camp)

Gaano ka katagal naghintay ?

                                                                                    2-4-21 (Pila para sa National I.D.) Pamilyar tayo sa kasabihan na "kapag may tiyaga, may nilaga" . Nasubukan mo na bang maghintay? Gaano katagal? Ako, base sa aking karanasan maraming paghihintay ang naranasan ko. Paghihintay tuwing may meeting, kapag may pupuntahan, at marami pang iba. Pero ang matinding paghihihtay na naransan ko ay ang maghintay sa pila- sa lahat ng pwedeng pilahan. Naalala ko tuloy noong nag-apply ako ng scholarship sa CHED (Commission on Higher Education) sa may Quezon City. Sobrang dami kong kasabayan na mga estudyante, simula ground floor paitaas ang pila  hangang 3rd floor sa pagkakaalala ko.  Gayun pa man, ang pagtiyatiyaga...

Mark 1:14-20: The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry

By
  Morning Devotion January 20, 2024 Biblical Reference Mark 1:14-20   ·          In what season of life are you right now? What have you been doing? ·          If someone intervenes to you while you are doing something or you are in such a season of your life, would lend your ear and pay attention?   Read Mark 1:14-20 In the passage that we read, there is a place called Galilee where Jesus went and proclaimed the good news of God, for the time was fulfilled and there is a need to repent and believe in the good news for the Kingdom of God is near. What do you think are the Galileans doing when Jesus was proclaiming? The Galileans are doing their daily routine and their lifestyles and livelihoods. For example, fishing. In verse 16 says, “Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother casting a net into the sea- for they were fishermen.” What is the releva...

"Oo" o "Hindi"

By
Mateo 5:37 Sabihin mo na lang na ‘Oo’ kung oo at ‘Hindi’ kung hindi, sapagkat ang anumang sumpang idaragdag dito ay buhat na sa Masama.” Ang bawat salita na ating binibitawan ay mahalaga. Dahil Ang mga salitang ito ay maaring makapagbigay ng kaliwanagan o magbigay Ng kalituhan. Dapat na maging malinaw at maingat Tayo sa ating sinasabi upang maiwasan ang Hindi pagkakaintindihan. Pinapaalala din sa atin Ng Bibiliya na huwag mangyari na pagpupuri at panlalait Ang manggaling sa bibig (James 3:10). Nais Ng Diyos na dumaloy sa atin Ang ISANG malinaw na Tubig: Ang mga salitang pawang pagpupuri, nakapagpapalakas Ng loob, puno ng pag-asa, kapakumbabaan at karunungan na nagmumula sa Diyos. Panginoon, tulungan Mo Po kami na pakaingatan Ang aming mga salita na mangagagaling sa aming bibig. Sa pangalan ni Jesus Amen.
