MARRIAGE ALERT: DIV0RCE✍️

On February 22, 2018, I read in the newspaper about the divorce bill that the Senate passed and blogged about it. This is the topic again in the news I've seen in Youtube. And I just thought of any issues that can cause marital breakdown.

1. BR0KENNESS.

Two individuals from different backgrounds are trying to present themselves as the other person's missing puzzle piece, the ideal match for each other when in fact, they both have unresolved childhood issues and emotional scars from people in their families or circle of influence that wronged them and damaged their personas. What then can you expect if these two broken individuals, having the baggage of sighs and sentiments from their painful past, decided to tie the knot? 

Can you drink water from a cracked glass? Nope. There will be a leak. Is there anything a dirty rag can clean? None. The dirt and dust won't go away. The same with men and women with a problematic past who decide to marry. A tendency to repeat the negative situations in the family history becomes apparent as each of the spouse's unresolved emotional wounds reappear in their marriage or their own established family. And the frequent outcomes? Aggressive men and abused women, infidelity in relationships, prodigal sons and daughters, children who are beaten or harassed, and other similar issues arising from the person's inner brokenness, leading eventually to external problems, a dysfunctional family, or failed marriages- divorce.

📖 Ang Espiritu ng Panginoong Yahweh ay sumasaakin sapagkat ako'y Kanyang hinirang; sinugo Niya ako upang dalhin ang Magandang Balita sa mga inaapi, upang pagalingin ang mga sugatang-puso, upang ipahayag sa mga bihag at sa mga bilanggo na sila'y lalaya. - ISAIAH 61:1-3

2. TW0 T0 TANG0.

To maintain and grow the marriage, the husband and wife must collaborate. Each partner must work together to secure the success of their relationship, thus, in all marital affairs, whether good or bad,  this adage applies, "It takes two to tango." So if a marriage ends in divorce, you can't blame sole responsibility because marriage comprises two persons. The morals of the two people involved in the connection influence the future of their togetherness. For a good and long-lasting marriage, the husband and wife must both jive to dance to tango in all facets of their relationship. 

Tango requires two participants. It's a sad fate and a difficult marriage if your spouse refuses to dance or even learn the tango with you. If one spouse is eager to work out their marriage while the other is unwilling to participate actively in building their relationship, a marriage cannot thrive and survive. Both should deliberately aim to patch things up in any kind of relationship. And, because no one can make their spouse do or be anything they don't want to, a marriage like this requires divine intervention. Separation and divorce are never options because God's design for marriage is a lifetime commitment. Remember your promises to one another "for better or worse, until death do you part (you even cried as you read those vows on the altar). Only God can make your spouse dance the tango with you to the best advantage. Hence, if your spouse is passive or inactive in your marriage and does nothing to help it succeed, you need to pray tough, pray tougher, and pray toughest for only HE is able to change your spouse's HE❤️RT.

📖 Kaya't kung mag-aalay ka ng handog sa dambana para sa Diyos at naalala mong may sama ng loob sa iyo ang iyong kapatid, iwan mo muna ang iyong handog sa harap ng dambana at makipagkasundo ka sa kanya. Pagkatapos, magbalik ka at maghandog sa Diyos.-MATE0 5:23-24

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...
