Do not worry.



This morning I woke up with a heavy heart. These past few days, I was down and feeling troubled. I felt that things were not going the way I envisioned it to be. I felt everything was not working as planned despite my efforts. I felt frustrated and tired. I also felt that people around me are also not appreciating the efforts that I have put into my work. As a result I felt doubt in myself and I can no longer see the value of what I am doing. I am worried about my present and my future.

As I get out of my bed, I sat down near my bedroom window and I cannot stop from staring at the bright blue sky. It was so beautiful! So I went outside our house and a cold morning breeze greeted my face. The wind was cold but I felt warmth in my heart. I once again looked at the sky and I finally realized that this world is such a beauty! Then I realized that my life wasn't bad at all. Actually I am blessed for I am still alive and still experiencing the beauty of God's creation. Life maybe throwing nasty things at me right now but I know this will all end and I know that once I get through all of this, I will be a stronger person and I am more ready to face other challenges that will come my way. I have to keep reminding myself that God is with me, I do not have to worry. There are struggles in life that can become emotional strongholds as they call it. These struggles are stopping us from serving and trusting God. These struggles are making us scared and worried to face our today and our tomorrow for we are frightened by the idea that we will confront these problems alone. It keep us wondering if we can get out of it without inflicting so much pain in our hearts or leave a deep hole in our soul that will eventually drain our hopes in life.

Do not worry! Worrying will not solve our problems, instead, it only stops us from seeing the good things around us. Let us trust God and time will come and we will finally experience the abundant life He has promised. Jesus said "Do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the air, that they do not sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?" (Mathew 6:25-26)

My prayer for today,

Lord, I am sorry for not trusting You. Sorry for not trusting your plans for me. Now I understand that life is not about material things, forgive me for finding security on the material riches of life rather than seeking security from Your love our Father. If You can feed the birds that have no soul, how much more that You will take care of me for I am more worthy than the birds in the sky. I will keep Your promise my dear God, that you will never leave me nor forsake me. AMEN.

Dad, you are the best father ever

When I was young you taught me how to read and rhyme, And showed me laughter under the smiling sunshine. I remember that day when I stumbled with pain But you carried me in you arms and the pain was gone. You taught me the meaning of respect, to other beings and to thyself You modeled these traits not only in thy words but by actions on oneself You taught me responsibility to thy spouse and to our dynasty You modeled these through thy affection to my mother and members of our family The greatest kings have conquered the strongest nation But believe me; no king is greater than your affection. As you leave this world we know But the love you’ve showed in my heart entombed Today I may be sad because you said goodbye For the angels in heaven took your soul up in the sky If mothers are the best, fathers are the greatest. Thank you for your fatherly love, it was the best. . Image Source: Wikipedia

Independence when there is no freedom

The Philippines is celebrating today its 122nd  Independence day.  Today we remember how our forefathers claimed their freedom from the Spaniards who enslaved them for almost 333 years. Thanks to our national hero Jose Rizal, who sparked the hearts of the Filipinos through his provoking novels. This eventually inspired a revolution which then gave birth to our first republic in 1889.  Today, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we are locked at our homes and we have no freedom to move. As a result, we are deprived to work and earn a living. We are deprived to travel, to gather, and to celebrate. Our lives have so many restrictions.This was the same experience of our forefathers when their freedom was taken away from them by the Spaniards. Good thing this Covid 19 is only temporary. Once the vaccine is commercially available, our lives will soon return to normal and our freedom will be restored. Imagine if this quarantine is permanent, people will became restless, agitated and pr...
