Nothing is Wasted

     One of the most valued thing in the world and in people's life is time. From the beginning to the end, time is counted and recorded. There is this popular line " time is gold" which tells us how important and expensive time is. Once it is done you can never go back to it, and when the you're in the moment of it you shouldn't miss it. Time hops so fast. You will just realize after all that a lot of time had passed and there's a lot of things you missed.  

In Ecclesiastes 3, Solomon clearly enumerated phases of life that will pass. Every single one of them, has its time and space in our lives and its very essential to cease those times and find out the purpose which God intended it to be. This also shows how life can be so short; We don't have the luxury of time to waste. 

Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 NIV

a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,   a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,   a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,   a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,   a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,   a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,   a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

     Life brings a lot of surprises , ups and down, happiness, memories (whether good or not), opportunities, kinds of people, special people, and more things that life can offer. Each one of the things that this life enables us to experience, can make a great impact and can leave a mark in our hearts and memories. They make a spot of time and place in our lives that will be forever treasured until our last breath. 

There are these things that we wanted to stay and last in our lives but in an unexpected time,left us and gone so soon. We waited and hoped for it for a long time, and as it stand right in front of us, starting to realize the moment that it is already here, suddenly it's gone. Too soon to leave that you didn't even grasp the moment , too soon to let it go because you are just starting to contemplate the why. 

You cried for the things you wanted yet they're gone too soon, but life surprises you with the things you did not expect. Suddenly you are flashed with these new unanticipated things. Much of your wonder, you slowly grab those surprises and starting to understand its purpose. It teaches you that  Life is not just about the things you have and once you have, but also with what is yet to come. 

God didn't put anything or everything in our lives questionably, and he will just look on us getting lost  searching for the answers. We may wonder and questioned God why can he allow such a thing to happen; Why did he allowed the joy to leave and let the pain to take its place.? Why does the thing or people you treasured the most left and gone too soon? These may not be easily understood but God allowed it for a reason and His reason and purpose is not a selfish one, It is always for the good not just for you but even for everyone. 

   He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

People say hi and bid goodbye,

 opportunities may come and go, 

memories starts but it has to end, 

you just arrived but you have to leave,

 it started yet its about to end,

 you accept but you have to let it go. 

Nothing in this world is forever, everything is fancy and temporary. Yet, God points out only thing that is forever and eternal , He His word and love, and our relationship with Him. 

Every moment in our lives whether its a YES or NO, God is present, He is there. It may be hard to understand the state, but you have to trust God that everything is part of the work for a greater and more beautiful things. The best that we can do is to cease the moment whether its a time of YES, WAIT or NO. 

Love when its time and when you have love to give, 

help when you are able,

 make someone's existence meaningful when you know the purpose,

 give if you have much or little,

 accept when you have the arms to embrace, 

celebrate if its worth it

but when things work the other way(the NO), discover the WHY and learn from it. TRUST GOD. Nothing and no one is an accident. They stepped in to your life bringing the gifts and the lessons for your life today and for the future. Turn it into a purposeful one. Make everything worth it. Whatever the time of your life brought you, you must live the most out of it. Serve your purpose and your part of the season.

You're never late or too early, but you ceased the right time .

Romans 8:28 

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

THESE THREE (3)

TRUST

Trust steadily even when the ground you are standing in is shaking you hard.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

However the road shakes you off and trying to knock you down,

always remember God's hand will make everything steady.

He will not let you down. Hold tightly, hold steadfastly

because the ONE who is holding you

never loses sight of you.

HOPE

Hope unswervingly though it's hard to see the surest way.

Isaiah 40:31

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles;    they will run and not grow weary,   they will walk and not be faint.

You may have a dark past, unlikely present and your Tomorrow might be uncertain,

continue to live your life. There is always a new day to look 

ahead; a day where there's a gift of life to live. 

Live your life according to God's purpose

and you'll never go wrong.

LOVE

Love extravagantly even if everybody is hating and hurting.

1 John 4:19

 We love because Jesus first loved us.

Everyday, choose to love even how things gets unlovable. That's how Jesus

patiently showed His undying love even though

we don't deserve it. Show God's love. 

Act God's love. 

Never run out of it!

Happy Valentines dira nga side

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Happy Valentines dira nga side.;D In every corner love songs are played, beautiful roses are displayed and lovers are in their best making most of the season. How about the single people over there? I hope it will not make you less without having someone on your side and to enjoy whatever this season has to offer.

As our desire grows to meet the right person that God has prepared, we must have a clearer and specific vision and identity about the person. This would probably help us to guard our hearts from engaging to wrong emotions and to the wrong one. The more we guard ourselves,many will try to win our hearts. We have to do it right in the Lord to have a right outcome. By God's grace and by the Holy Spirit we are able to stand for what is true, right and what will last.

I am giving credit to Pastor Johanna Castellanos Proenca and to the book that she wrote entitled I Love. Her book tackles about surrendering and obeying God's will over our lives even in the area of our emotions. One of the chapters of the book talked about having a clearer and more specific vision or identity of the desired partner we want [except sa name ha :) ]  and important areas that we need to consider in a non-negotiable note. Personally, these considerations helped me a lot on how to managed my emotion and how to respond correctly not according to what i feel whenever I'm facing a " deal or no deal " situation. It reminds me of how God wanted my love-story should be by starting in choosing the right one.

Some of you might think that this is more of putting  laws in love, that this could be too much. But too much will be at stake in the future if we didn't handle properly the present when it comes to making a decision. 

Psalms 19

⁷ The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

⁸ The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹ The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.

And now, it's time to take action on these. These guidelines will make us more wise and will make it more easier for us. For every point, there will be samples what does it asked for and the rest is yours to fill up according to your heart's content inline to God's will :)

See the Light

Psalm 23:4 NIV

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,  I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Nobody wants to live in darkness. In its existence we yearn a pinch of light to bring hope to our unlovely dealings in life. How can God allow darkness to take its scene? Psalm 23 tells us that there will be time of darkness, a time where we pass through this pitch-black tunnel and it seems endless. No trace of light ahead and the prolonged rigor is dateless. But EVEN amidst of this, God's word reminds us to not fear Evil, and I might add, not to cling to evil.

Fear no evil
 - darkness somehow is being hitched to fear. Most of us show fear when being caught in darkness, whether the litteral way or the other phase of darkness which means to uncertainty, pause, and delay. Its very difficult to move and advance when we don't even know the road we are taking. But let us not forget that light is much needed in the midst of darkness. Yet, God created two lights to govern our day and night and In Genesis 1, first thing God created on this empty space was light. God is our light on  that pitch-dark tunnel we are trekking; Regardless how long will the trek will be, what are the unexpected things might occur, and how impossible it is. We will not be spared from experiencing darkness in our lives, but as long as we hold on to God, His hands is just there all along guiding and protecting us.

Not to cling in evil

- Evil things mostly happens in the absence of light where evil deeds is not easily expose. When we are clouded with so much fear and distrust, there is a big chance to dive into sin. We try to cap our discomfort through sin and having this excuse to justify. In our darkness do not sin, instead,amidst of it cling to God's love and goodness. I know its easily said than done, But God's word is not just spoken through words but it was proven and executed through Jesus Christ at the cross. In the darkness, going through, be the light;  choosing to do what is right and just before God.

The phase of darkness in your life does not make you lost from your way, but it is the best time to remain in God and trust his heart for you to make it all the way. You might pause for a while trying to figure out what will be your next move, and starting to feel the fear creeps in. But this pause will not take a long time because in trust and faith you will choose to walk and advance.

There is this phrase from a song entitled Trust His Heart by Bobbie Mason which will somehow appease our heart.

 When you don't understand

When you don't see his plan

When you can't trace his hands

Trust His heart.

Trusting God's heart could be the best and the right thing to do while trekking that pitch-dark tunnel. And as you continue to advance, the light after the dark is slowly beaming to your eyes. Never stop the journey even how dark it is because you are rest assured that God is holding you for you to make it through.

God's way

Psalm 16:2  I say to the Lord , “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”

DIY stands for Do It Yourself. In this fast and modern age, DIY or do it yourself way is a trend. It is making things on our own personal way. There are many benefits of DIY way;  you are able to save money, practice your creativity, and recycle the used, old things turning it to be more useful. DIY is fun, you tend to make things unuseful to something purposeful. Well, this can only be functional on things but never in handling life.

How many times have you used DIY way in managing your life? How long have you been doing  DIY? For things it can be possible but in life there is no other way to live this life but to allow God to Do it Himself.

Psalm 16:2 says , apart from God I, we have no good thing. One thing that God has freely given us is our free will. He allows us to decide and choose how to our lives here on earth but He never missed to remind and guide us through the wisdom of His word. We have abilities , gifts and knowledge as our resources a to make things work but it takes the wisdom and the hands of God to make our work lasts. 

It you have been practicing DIY to your life, and seeing the result of mess and no good, it's time to let go and let God. He created you, and He knows you very well. No need to stretch yourself to the limit. Stop recycling the old you, because God can make all things new. God can do it Himself to make things work out in your life. You just have to surrender and offer your life to Him. God is more than Willing to take over. Put your

full trust to Him. So, In handling your life, DIY is a no no way! 

if you want it fight for it

Jacob wrestled with God

           Looking back on my childhood days, I had this experience with my mother which really made a big mark in my heart. My mom was set then for a travel with my sister and I was so furious because she didn't want me to go with them. I was so mad and crying because I really want to go with them. I started to throw my things, anything that's in my reach but still she won't allow me. I kept on begging her to go with them but she keeps explaining why I can't. The reason didn't matter to me at all, because all I wanted is to be with them. I was so determined to really grapple my moms hands even her dress just to convinced her. But to my dismay , I wasn't able to. 

       The reason why I'm sharing this is not because of my disappointment with my mom, though I was, but I'm already healed from that experience; but my strong-will to get what I really want. Her reason didn't matter to me why she can't bring me with her, but what does matter to me then is I don't want to be left in the house again and just want to travel. That was really a "big battle" for me. 

      God is really generous with everything. He has graced us with all the blessing we need and even the blessing we don't deserve. But there are also things in our lives that we need to fight for and never let go, never surrender until that blessing is in our hands. 

Jacob's Battle

The life of Jacob was full of deceit from the moment he was born. He outwitted his brother Esau twice, and he himself was also deceived by his father in law Laban. He ran away from his brother and left his father in law without permission bringing with him his family. He was also filled with fear upon facing Esau again, thinking that Esau would take revenge for what he did. His life was all about, hiding, running away,fear and deceit. Yet, amidst of all these, God chose to blessed him. 

Genesis 32:12 NKJV

For You said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’ ”

Perhaps, Jacob was thinking then that if this is the promise of God for him, why does his circumstances doesn't agree with it. He was tired of all the struggles and just want to see and hold on to the promise. As Jacob got the chance to encounter God, he never let the opportunity passed by without getting what he wanted. This is one of the powerful confession or command to God from a human. 

Genesis 32:26 

And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”     

its like saying to God, " enough Lord! fulfill now your promise " . Reminding God what he promised to you and changing your circumstances and destiny. For me its a brave exploit to do such thing. God is able. He possess all the ability to do it with just a snap of His hands. 

Then, why do we have to wrestle and fight for it? I strongly believe that its a matter of faith and the strong desire to have it. As we chase for things in this world, investing our time,effort,strength, and all our resources just to have it, the desire to take hold of the things of God, the blessing,breakthrough and change must be bigger. You are willing to let go of everything just to hold of one thing that will really change the course of your life and eventually will lead to your destiny. You've been questioning God and searching for a change for a long time yet your unaware that it was prapared long time ago and just waiting for you to claim it. 

    The time for you to claim it has finally come. Wrestle with God, and don't let go , never surrender until God will outran his blessing in your life. Show your determination and faith that you desperately need and want it. Run after God. No retreat,No surrender. 

Pray.Pray.Pray

" Prayer is man giving God the legal right and permission to interfere in earth's affair"

Ptr. Myles Munroe

" Prayer is joining God in what He wants to do. Its about His agenda, not our agenda"

" Prayer is the alignment of our will to the will of God"

These were just few powerful definition of prayer. Prayer can change someone's life or even situation. God will move His powerful hands as His people will seek and call upon His name.

2 Chronicles 7:14-15 

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

Day 7 devotional: 

Genesis 19:29 NIV

So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.

-- through Abraham's intercession for Lot and his family, God remembered them when He destroyed Sodom and Gomorah. Abraham plead for their lives and never stopped until God would consider. 

      Everybody needs our prayers; someone who will intercede on their behalf. We will never know what change or impact it will cause to someone's life. There are times when we are lead by the Holy Spirit to pray and we must obey that leading. As we pray and plead to God, we have this great assurance that He hears us and will answer us without delay. 

Prayer gives hope. As our voices are lifted to His throne, God is moved through it and will just do miracles and amazing things. 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray continually

Every prayer will be answered according to God's agenda and will. And we are confident that His ways are better than ours. Let us continue to pray and seek Him with all our heart and see what God can do.

He knows well

Jeremiah 29:6-14 

Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord .   This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

* what God has purposed in His heart for everything especially to whom He created by His own image and breath will stand and will be fulfilled. Jeremiah chapter 29 is indeed a powerful declaration and a reminder for us. Many people question God about suffering and pain; is it part of his harmless and prosperous plan according to V.11 ? We forgot that PROCESS is one of the season that everyone must go through and surpass. Circumstances may not prove this, but in the eyes of faith, everything leads to that harmless and prosperous life. 

*There is Nothing that God planned in His heart to hurt us. But sometimes that plan  requires pain, hurt and uncertainties to test our hearts and mind and  to make it obedient to God's word. Only God knows everything.. And I/we need to trust Him ; the promise He said and through His word. 

* thank you Jesus!!

UNHINDERED

Have you been or are you in the position of trying to break the line and wanting to make it through, yet something is stopping and pulling you back? This makes one frustrating and unlikely to be in. Your heart really wants to stretch it out and reach those still untouchable longings you have kept for a long time. A lot of potentials and ability has been buried for a long time because it was never awakened and given the spot to shine. It seems we are HINDERED with the limitations and shortcomings we have in life.

Every individual was created by God with so much uniqueness and gift drafted inside. God designed His creation according to His image and His heart. Part of that design was the destiny and the purpose He has set; destiny and purpose which are limitless. God is not limited with widths and heights, He have in His heart ETERNITY and EVERLASTING. He can make it through beyond what our eyes and mind can’t reach. Perhaps, this will take a long time for us to realize and comprehend this truth, but it will only take a day for us to believe, have faith and obey in action to experience this fullness.

Perhaps we can point out a lot of hindrances to be the reason of why we can’t reach the greatness that we want to pursue. Inability, money, status in life, resources, connections, personality or even our very self can be one of the many reasons why success is so elusive. Yes, these are possible considerations we can display but God made all the possible solution for every maze of uncertainty we might face. Those limitations are just like indicators that reminds us that we are humans with weaknesses and flaws YET, despite of this reality there IS A GOD who can help us to pull it through, conquer every wall and be UNHINDERED.

PHILIPPIANS 4:13

I CAN DO EVERYTHING THROUGH HIM WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH.

Truly nothing is impossible; nothing is unreachable to those who are not afraid to take the step of obedience and courageous to take the risk. God is very ready to step out the moment we reached the end of the line. He can work and reached beyond; He will extend and expand our limitations. We just have to change the way we see things and be transformed by changing the way we think (Romans 12:2)

Ecclesiastes 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they can’t fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Eternity is what was placed in our hearts by the Lord and that means limitless and unhindered with time, place, and circumstances. It’s time to cross beyond the line and take the road with God’s unlimited power; it’s high time to experience and conquer greater things in store for us. Let’s claim it, it was wrapped long ago and ready to explode. We will walk in it and not just remain a dream. God is unstoppable and unhindered and so as we.

Truthspeaks

Genesis 2:21 So the Lord God CAUSED the man to fall into DEEP SLEEP; and WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING, He took of ONE of the man's RIB and closed up the place with flesh.

 tRUTH's to ponder for MAN (ADAM)

Man be sure that you are in a deep sleep (fully surrendered emotionally to the Lord)

 when God is taking out the RIB from you. 

" NO FALSE SLEEPING"

  Man, be sure that the woman you are desiring, considering and praying is the  

  RIGHT RIB that God has taken out from you. " DON'T STEAL SOMEONE'S RIB".

  Man, that it's a RIB., not your lung, liver, or intestine :)

  Remain in God's purpose and plan. " DO NOT BE FOOLED".

  Man, be sure that she's the ONLY ONE. Only ONE RIB was taken out from you.

  Don't make collections of your RIB, or else your heart will be exposed too much.

  You will not be guarded anymore. " ONE WOMAN MAN".

  Man, be sure that the place where the RIB was taken out did not remained empty.

  Allow the Lord to fill the empty side of you. Don't look for a RIB for the purpose

   of completing you. Only God can complete you. " BE COMPLETE BY GOD'S LOVE".

tRUTH's to ponder for WOMAN (EVE)

    Woman, be sure that you too is fully surrendered to the Lord. WAIT for God to take you out.

    Do not force or volunteer. Wait for GOD'S TIME. " NO FALSE WAITING".

    Woman, be sure that the man you are desiring, considering and praying is the RIGHT ONE.

    He is the MAN that you belong to. " DO NOT BE SOMEONE'S RIB".

     Woman, be sure that you are the RIB. You know your REAL IDENTITY in the Lord.

     Don't act as a lung, liver or intestine :) . Remain in God's plan and purpose. " DO NOT BE MISLEAD".

     Woman, be sure that you belong to only one man. Don't easily give in when someone tries to

     take you out. WAIT for God to tell you so. Don't let false man worn you out and lose you purpose.

        " DON'T BE EVERYONE'S RIB".

      Woman, be sure that the man is fulfilled and complete in his relationship in the Lord.

      Don't give in when he tells you that you complete him. It's a LIE. Only God can complete.

           " BE COMPLETE BY GOD'S LOVE".

           JOHN 8:32   THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

WE WILL BE SET FREE FROM SIN, WORRY, FEAR,DOUBT, AND FROM UNGODLY AND FALSE RELATIONSHIPS.

THESE TRUTHS WILL ENABLE US TO WALK IN GOD'S WILL AND PURPOSE. IT PROTECTS AND PRESERVE US FOR THE BEST. GOD LONG'S TO SEE US RESTING UNDER THE  FULLNESS OF HIS BLESSING; GOOD MARRIAGE, GOD GIVEN MARRIAGE, GOD GLORIFYING MARRIAGE AND VICTORIOUS MARRIAGE. THIS WILL BE POSSIBLE IF WE WALK IN FEAR AND OBEDIENCE TO HIS AUTHORITY AND WILL.

         NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO OBEY, WAIT, TRUST AND BELIEVE.

Beautiful in it's own Time

Ecclessiastes 3:11

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in human heart,but even so, people cant see the whole scope of God's work from begginning to end.(NLT)

Every perfect and beautiful thing has its own space and time. Nothing is done through magic everything is subject to a right process that would guarantee a right product. Many time we became impatient, anxious and fearful of the things we've waited for a long time. Beyond our notion something on the unseen world is a process and preparation for a great surprise. As 1corinthians 2: 9 says.,

We wait for the things that is beautiful. Its n0t made in instant. It is processed. And while we wait on that Beautiful time we make ourselves faithful, fruitful, and prepared. We wait for the worthy things, so as we make ourselves worthy to recieve it.

Waiting itself is beautiful.

Price Tag

Prov.31:10 Who can find a virtous and capable wife?

She is more precious than rubies.

Ephesians 5:25-27

25 -28Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They're really doing themselves a favor—since they're already "one" in marriage. 

For the Women out there..

How we value ourselves is the measure of value we recieved from other people, and specificaly to Men.

The Word clearly tells us how a woman should act and the way she'd be treated.

Proverbs 31:10... more precious than rubies.

Our worth is more valuable than what the worl can give. We are more precious than any expensive jewelries the world has. Our worth comes from the perspective of being the Church, the Bride of Christ.

Don't forget your Price Tag

I've met a lot of women who lost their value, self-importance, and love for theirselves. I have heard their stories of brokeness, failures, and defeat. Even has my own story of battling self worth and how did i overcome it through God's Grace. Each and everyone has it's own story; whatever it is, You are still God's Beloved.

Your worth is the Blood of Jesus. His death on the Cross also redeems our self worth and value. And Jesus will not allow His Beautiful, Redeemed Bride  to go back from the mess where she've been.

prov. 11:32 A beautiful Woman who lacks discretion is like a Gold ring in a pig's snout.

 The great value that Jesus clothed on us is nothing if still we place ourselves into a pig's snout.(meaning: mali na gugma) We should place ourselves to the very throne of God, our rightfully place. Our past of brokeness and failures does not permitting us to bargain ourselves and settle for less. WE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE! Cannot be discounted. (illustration: kung butang ta na baligya sa isa ka mall, dili ta makita sa mga discounted, bargain, buy1take1 na area. dapat naa jud ta sa mga mahalon, branded, original na area. That when people esp. Men will try to glance at you, they can't easily grab you, but they will think twice and more if they can afford the worth; if not, they would patiently and joyfully save to reach your worth.

Our worth can't be paid with pitiful sweet nothings. YOU ARE NOT WORTH OF JUSTA TEXT MESSAGES, AN HOUR OF CALL, OR A KILLER SMILE. Remember it took the Blood of Jesus to redeem you. DON'Y EASILY GIVE IN.

SA PANAHON THAT YOU MAKE YOURSELF MORE A PRINCESS, 

MAS MUDAGHAN ANG MGA FALSE PRINCE THAT WILL TRY TO WIN YOU.

You are PRECIOUS, EXPENSIVE, THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE MADE HOLY AND PURE. YOU ARE WORTH WAITING FOR, SAVED FOR AND WORKED FOR.

Wait for a Man who is willing to pay the price. A man who would tell you that He would love to Pray for you instead of he wants to court you and win you over through text and call and etc..

A man who knows to protect you from being corrupted. A man who will not win you  through "estoryahee quotes" but he should be a man of PRICE, a man of WORTH.

Don't be defrauded with what your eyes can see and ears can hear. Remember, things that are unseen is more truer. YOU ARE A PRINCESS, DAUGHTER, BRIDE, WHO'S WORTH WAITING FOR.

Heart that cost too much

Jeremiah 17:9

The human is like the most deceitful of all things, and desperately
wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?
10 But I the Lord search all hearts and examine secret motives.
I give all people all their due rewards, according to what their action deserves.

this is very timely. People are now excited and enjoying the atmosphere of "LOve, February,Valentines day" as what we are used of it. But this does not mean to awaken our hearts and allow to follow the flow of it.

Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your hearts for it determines the course of your life.

It's high time to guard our hearts from what the world offers, suggest, and trying to put up fake and false standards, compromising views of Love. It should not be based on teleseryes, suggestive magazines, talkshows, movies, and reality shows. No one in this world could ever show what is really true and perfect love.

Everyone of us failed at some point in our lives when it comes to guarding our hearts, but because of God's grace and love, He allowed himself to show and demonstrate the true and perfect LOVE of all; the coming of His one and only Son, Jesus, and His redemptive work at the Cross. It is where Love was perfectly and purely made and done.

No one is excuse or exempted on this. Everyone has its chance to be victorious; and being careless of guarding the heart, defeat is at cost. Great people

with title and high position, as well as the "ordinary ones" has its own story to tell of defeat bcoz they weren't able to guard their hearts.

LEADERS AND THEIR EMOTIONS

Satan's primary target for attack are the front liners or known called as Leaders. And satan's tactics is so obvious, he always use the emotion as weapon against them. But despite of it's clarity, still many failed to recognized the tactics and quickly dive into it. This cause a domino effect to the people following behind them, and this is the saddest part. Because you are not alone will be suffering the consequence but also the people behind you.

KING DAVID AND HIS UNGUARDED HEART

2 Samuel 11:1-13--
tells us the story how King Davis stumbled

in his heart. It was this time when he got a lose hold of his heart.

C11V1 in the spring of year when kings normally go out to war...

It was the time for battle but David chose to stay for nothing; instead

sent his armies to fight without his presence. A day came for David, a day

where he's at rest, nothing to do, and where his heart got arrested.

one way of keeping our hearts guarded is to place ourselves in the rightful place, doing the right

things. As king David tried to escape the battle for his kingdom, He was not able to elude the greatest

battle that led him to defeat. That's why we should be in the place where God called us to be.

If it's not the right time yet to indulge to our heart's content, don't dare to break in, instead

yield on the things that God called you to do. Perhaps the Lord's time for you is to be more passionate

on loving Him; wanting to see you growing in His knowledge and grace, performing that's

assigned to you. God works in His perfect time.

DAVID BATHE WITH SIN

His ending on that battle was so sad. He failed; he committed SIN AFTER SIN. Being adulterous to a

murderer, and tried to hide the mistake that he did.

When sin was knocking into his heart, he was not able to flee from it. He opened the door of his heart

and let sin entered and corrupted his whole being. Seeing the woman, bathsheba, bathing, led David to bathe in sin.

WARNING:

MEN- you are driven by what you see. Dili man jud maiwasan makakita

ug maanyag na pananawon. Pero posible kaayo bantayan ang kasing-kasing.

Dili magpadala sa makita.

WOMEN- Dili dayon magpadala sa unsay madunggan gikan sa lalaki. Be preserved.

Don't expose yourself. Pagbaton ug kahadlok ug paminw sa Ginoo.

KING DAVID vs. URIAH

KING DAVID- instead of doing his duty as a king he chose to did nothing.

 - He can possibly interceed for his team as an option.

 - He can also take care of other needs of the kingdom that would make

his time worth it. but n one of these things he tried to do.

Mao na, usahay ang pagrest na wala sa panahon dili diay makaayo. there is a time

for everything. (Ecclesiastes 3).

Surely it was David's time to love God's work and set aside his personal agenda. Whan the

Lord is calling us out to go, we should quickly do it. Always remember that the safest place to rest is in the

presence of the Lord and doing His will, outside of it brings threat.

URIAH- the husband of bathsheba

  - loyal and committed to his duty as a soldier

- knows his top priority

David tried to cover up his mistake. When he knew that bathsheba got pregnant, he ordered uriah to go home and be with his wife, thinking that he will sleep with her. But uriah is decisive to stay and finished his duty as the kingdom's soldier.

It is so vital to know our purpose. Take time to think and ask God what is his duty for you at this time.

If God tells you to seek Him more and do more for Him, just trust and obey. Heart matters? It will just follow.
