Love is the Greatest ✍

The celebration of love continues even after Valentine's Day has passed and the month of love, February, has ended, because true love never dies.

The fact that we are given the chance to live each day, the air we breathe, our health and strength, our talents, our daily protection, our families, friends, mentors, ministers, and teachers; our jobs; our properties; and even the seemingly small and insignificant things we hardly notice as blessings, such as clothes, shoes, slippers, and bags, pens, and papers (to name a few)—all of these are evidence of God's love.

Love is not merely a human invention. God created love (1 John 4:19). God is, in fact, love. Without God, there is no love, and without God's love, we would not have been born at all. The world and everything in it are the result of God's immeasurable love.

If you and I exist because of God's love, how can we then show that we love Him in return? Can we prepare Him a cup of coffee or a meal and say, "God, heto po o, ipinagtimpla ko po Kayo ng kape or ipinagluto ko po Kayo ng masarap na pagkain, inom na po Kayo or kain na po Kayo?" Or can we hug and kiss Him to convey our gratitude for His love? It is impossible for humans to do such things since God has no physical body; God is spirit (John 4:24).

One way to show God that we thank Him for His love is by caring for persons in our sphere of influence. All people are God's masterpieces (including our enemies), and they embody our Creator's love. If we love God, we must love His creations just as much. Furthermore, God commands us to love one another and to put others' needs above our own. So if we truly love God, we will obey His decree.

- Husbands, love your wives (Colossians 3:19; Ephesians 5:25). Be considerate with them. (1Peter 3:7). 
- Wives, submit to your husbands as you do to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:22).
- Children, honor your father and mother (Deuteronomy 5:16). and obey your parents in everything,(Colossians 3:20).
- Fathers (and mothers), Do not provoke your children to anger. (Ephesians 6:4)
- To All, "Don't be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves." (Philippians 2:3)

As a means of loving God back, everyone of us has a role to play in loving others. So let's each do our part, share God's love, and remember to owe one nothing except L❤VE. (Romans 13:8)

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...

"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...
