Every Gising is a Blessing ✍

Every Gising is a Blessing ✍

You got up today with a gloomy heart, scowling. You can't afford to grin, and you can't conceal your lousy mood. Your actions and words indicate that you are not grateful for another day. But have you ever considered that at this very moment, somewhere in the world, there are individuals struggling for their last breath? And pleading with God fervently for one more day to live? And that they would love to be in your shoes, to be given the strength to move once more. 

Every breath you take and every beat of your heart is a marvelous gift from God, for which you should be thankful. "Buhay ka, not because you should be, but because may Diyos na nagmamahal sayo. He doesn't want you to perish, so He is granting you grace to live another day, and I hope you realize how much you are loved and valued by God." So, don't waste the day being an angry bird carrying ampalaya (este bitterness). The moment you wake up, wear a smile, and have that "attitude of gratitude." Make the most of your time, appreciate the here and now, and get to know your Creator, the "supplier of our oxygen" and the source of everything.

God has fantastic surprises instored for you which should make you smile and delight in your heart as you rise and shine. And as God blesses you with life, bestow favors on others too, and be a blessing to those around you. It's good to be alive, especially when you have a clear mission and vision for why God permitted you to exist after all.

🙏 Dear Father God, thank you for the gift of life. Help us to savor today by counting not the burdens but our blessings and remembering  not the negative things but Your goodness and love. "I loveyou, Lord, for Your mercy never fails me🎶In Jesus name🙏

The Goodness of God

"I-POST ang katotohanan kahit na itatwa ka nila bilang kaibigan o i-block/kanselahin ka nila o kahit pa magalit sila sayo. Nandito tayo upang pakanin ang mga TUPA 🐑 at hindi ang mga kambing🐐 --- A Christian or a believer of Christ is expected to express boldness in sharing biblical truth, even when it’s unpopular or results in rejection.  📌POST THE TRUTH.  As a Christian, you are encouraged to speak or share the biblical truth—whether online or on social media—regardless of how others may respond. It's about standing firm in your convictions and not watering down the message to keep people comfortable or to just please them and tickle their ears. 📖"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? ... If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." — Galatians 1:10 📌EVEN IF THEY UNFRIEND YOU OR BLOCK YOU OR HATE YOU.--It's accepting the social consequences of boldly proclaiming Christian truths—especially on contro...

A Sinner and a Saint✍️

Image
In our Values Education or Christian Living class during my time in a Catholic school in elementary and high school, we discussed saints such as Madre Ignacia Del Espiritu, St. Rose of Lima, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Augustine, Pedro Calungsod, San Lorenzo Ruiz, and many others. They are declared saints based on religious "holiness" criteria. These martyrs fulfilled the requirements set down by the Church to be recognized as such, a process known as canonization, so they were officially granted the title of saint. After converting to Christianity in 2017, I learned I am also considered a saint. A messed up woman like me, far from being pure and countless times giving in to the temptations of anger or impatience, is a saint?! How can that be? "For all have sinned, and fell short of the glory of God."— Romans 3:23 . Let us remember the story of Paul, once known as Saul. He is the most anti-Christian person and murders the followers of Christ. He was a sinner to th...
