What God has to say... pt. 2

Second truth...


"Man is sinful and separates from God and therefore he cannot know God's love and share in God's life and others."

in Romance 3: 23

"Everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence"

When you committed a sin, what did you do?
Did you not repent or ask for forgiveness to him?
I know what you did,

you went on with your life not seeking him anymore, you turned your back against him.
Blaming him for what has happened to you, and it came to the point that you never believed in him again.

You turned your back, but did he turn his back on you?


Let me repeat that again,


Did he turn his back on you?

No, he never did. He only waited for you, waited for you to come back. Why?
We are his children, he made us and no matter how much we have sinned, all he ever wanted for us is to come back to him.

When Adam and Eve has committed the original sin. Somehow, the door from God to man has closed. By whom, by man itself... But for all we know, God never really left, he kept on knocking that door in order to enter. And since we do not allow him, he had to send his son in order for him to come inside.


"Man's separation from God results in man's separation from man."

What is it to expect if we have separated ourselves to God?
What is the difference if we separate ourselves from one another?
And because of this sin, we forgot how wanted us to be..... Remember? He wanted us to live in peace and harmony, with no doubts and hate. All in peace where we can love one another as brothers and sisters.
Because of that door we closed to God, we closed it to our brothers as well, making us separated from one another.

"Men are continually trying to search God by their own efforts"
You don't have to go that far in order to search God,
ask and he will hear you out, he never turned his back, remember that...

"Men cannot live in love and peace unless there is first a spiritual change in them which only God can produce."
"You cannot live by bread alone but by the word of God"

There is no peace without God,
there is no harmony without him.

But how do we get that?

Come back to him, 

and show him how much you love him. And how grateful you are to have a father like him. He listens, remember that.. God is very generous,.

God is always there, he never left... Keep that in mind....

What God has to say... pt. 1

T'was May 21 when i attended a seminar that made a huge change in my life,
I had to argue with my supervisor in my practicum to change my schedule that time. And thank God, he allowed me.

It was a Saturday morning when Ian, kuya Aries, Daddy Jay, Risha, Joy and 4 new set of friends.... namely Angela, Bing, Rhoanne and Genevieve.

It was an exciting yet awing chance for me, because this kind of seminar is
very different to any others seminars that i have attended.
To tell you honestly, wala akong idea kung anong meron sa araw na ito, wala ni isang hint kung anu man ang pwedeng sabihin ng mga speakers.

Pero, ang alam ko, marameng magbabago sa akin...


Anong seminar toh?
Walang iba,

"Healing Life in The Spirit Seminar" (HLSS)

(be wary though, hindi lng LSS na Last SOng Syndrome ang nageexist na acronym, okay?)

SO anyway, nung umagang yaon we were welcomed kahit na baguhan kame, although nagjinit julo ni daddy pero kebs lang yun, anyway lets go back to what the seminar has to say.

Basically every seminar has to start with an orientation.,
Well, of course in an orientation you are being taught of what the contents are.

So moving on, one thing that really made a mark in my life are the four truths.

First truth:

"God Loves you and wants to live a happy life."

According to John 10:10,

"The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life
- life in all its fullness"

No matter what you experience in this crazy thing called life, (crazy yet wonderful), God always provides...
I how it feels to suffer and to go under pain. Of course I know, everyone does. Although there are different versions
but heck, pain is still the common denominator. No matter how much pain was inflicted to you, either your loved ones or
close friends. God never left you, he's still there always looking after you.

If i know, you blamed God for all the misery you had, you even said, "My Lord, what did I do for you to forsake me?"

Very wrong. tsk2
It was all a test, a test that will lead you to your faith in him.
Even though you had all this pain in your life, one thing is for sure, God loved you no matter how badly are your wounds.
He knows you very well, and you cannot hide anything from him.

Oh, You might think that because of your pain, you thought that you are the one who got hurt the most, and you were the loser.
Very wrong!
God was the loser, why?
When you were in that room crying, weeping of what has happened to you, he was there beside you. Trying to hold you, but then
you resisted. You didn't want his help, but all you know, God is there to help, nurture you with love, heal you of your wounds
and at the same time, love you.

Ask yourself, what if God said this to you.
"Since you feel that you are the loser, and because of this pain, you don't want to experience this ever again. If you want to,
I will take ALL this people that hurts you, and never again will you see them. And not a slight chance, will you know or
remember them, even if they are you mother, father, siblings and friends...."

Think of it, think....
