Less of me, more of God

I just came home from an amazing worship night at Victory Fort! Its already late but I just can't afford to go to sleep without sharing all the wonderful and beautiful words of wisdom and love God has shared to me today.

Have you ever felt lost? or left alone? Imagine yourself in a barren desert- thirsty, alone and desperate for a sign of life ahead. I believe this is how people feel when they are paralyzed by their problems in life. I know I do. Sometimes, we find ourselves in this situation, kahit ayaw  natin. Lets face it, we're just humans, nobody's perfect and everybody has problems. There will come a time in your life where in you will have doubts, questions and uncertainties and find no one to answer these. 

"The LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have."

Exodus 33:19, NIV

But fear not my dear and remember, that if you have God in your heart, He will declare His presence in your life at your most trying moments. He will be the confirmation that no matter how empty, sad and desolate you are, you will be saved. He will let his goodness flow into your veins and restore you. We don't have to wait to get to heaven to be good and to be renewed kasi andyan na si God oh, offering himself to you. You just have to accept him in your life and in your heart.

^"4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. ⁵ He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ⁶ He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. ⁷ Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children."

Revelations 21 4-7, NIV

Those who have the Lord with them will lack no things. Actually, He will not just restore you, but He will make you NEW. So, whatever problems you have that paralyzes you, give it up for He will take care of you. Whatever dreams you have, lift it all up to God for He will be the one to fight your battles for you. He will wipe every tear from your eyes, erase every hatred you are feeling and give you a new life. That is His promise, ALL OF THAT and more... you just have to believe and accept Him in your life. Ganun ka nya tayo ka-mahal at ganun tayo ka-swerte na meron tayong God na katulad nya. ❤

I feel so blessed, thank you so much Lord. This day has been filled with Your goodness, a testament of how TRUE and GREAT You are. Thank you for blessing me with friends who keeps nurturing me with Your love and wisdom. For all these Lord, I offer you my whole being. I lift up everything to You- my joys, my sorrows, everything!! Because I know that the more I let You into my life and the less of me will be, the more of Your goodness will flow into me. You are the confirmation of a great life ahead of me. I want to worship you not because of your benefits, but because of who You are- my Creator, my loving Father.

Love you God! Forever and ever and ever! ❤ Goodnight!!

Be humble and Be patient

Much of life is spent waiting and it’s how we wait that makes all the difference. I know many people will agree with me, mahirap maghintay. Nakakapagod, nakakasawa. I for one, has been waiting for so long for many things to come to my life- the right man, the dream job, and a chance to travel are just some of those. At times I get exhausted, yes; but I know there's nothing I can do about it, because it's God's plan for my life that will always prevail.

I'm saying this because I want to share how amazing the Lord is and how He has given me the wisdom while waiting for one of the most important event in my life, getting my first real job. You see, I have been waiting for almost 2 months for MMC to hire me. I was told to wait for their call after passing all of my documents (original + photocopy) to their HR department, so ang kulang nalang talaga is their call, telling me "You're hired!!" 

It's my dream to be able to practice my chosen profession, and being able to do that in a prestigious hospital makes the dream 101% awesome! I thought I'll be hired after a few weeks, but I believe God has other plans, because I'm still here waiting for the dream to happen. Its been 7 weeks at nakakalungkot na maghintay, I was starting to doubt myself and hate others (HR :p). BUT there He was again, God reminding me to hold on and be patient when I attended the worship night of Victory with Kez and Cha. One of the verses shared about asking something from God was:

"Be completely humble and gentle; 
be patient, bearing with one another 
in love." 

- Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)

"Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether."

- Psalm 139:4 (NIV)

I was surprised. Sobrang yan yung kelangan ko, ang galing talaga ni Lord!! He truly knows my heart. That's how great He is... knowing what I need at the moment and giving me wisdom and enlightenment through His words. That's when I realized that I really just have to WAIT; and while at it, remain patient and humble, na di ako dapat maging demanding, kasi ako na nga yung naghihingi at may kelangan, ako pa mayabang at nagmmamadali. Hindi dapat ganun.

"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

And THIS. He already planned a great future for me. So, I don't have to worry! Some may ask, how can I believe in this so strongly, and the only answer I have is because I just do. I believe in an Almighty and Loving God. He is my rock, my father, my light. He has done so many miracles in my life and has given me everything I need. This job that I'm waiting for is my heart's desire, and if God believes I deserve it, He will give it to me at the right time.
