When The Earth Quakes Big Time✍️

The thought of “The Big One,” a massive earthquake that could strike at any moment, is enough to stir anxiety in anyone. It reminds us how fragile our world is. Buildings can crumble, landscapes shift, and life can change in an instant. In the face of this kind of sudden upheaval, it's natural to feel powerless. We can’t always prevent disaster, and we can’t always predict what will happen next. And that makes us afraid. Fear is real, and natural, especially with the things/events we have no control over but it doesn’t have to rule us.

When fear creeps in, remember this:

➕ There is a refuge where your heart can rest. -Psalm46:1
➕ There is a presence that never leaves, even when the world abandons you. -Psalm 27:10
➕ There is a strength available that isn’t your own, but will carry you.- Psalm28:7

Jesus said:
“In this world you will have trouble
--- BUT --- 
take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Therefore, even when the Big One is approaching, or has already struck—we can still experience peace. That’s because true peace is not the absence of disaster but the presence of Someone greater in the middle of it. It doesn’t come from the ground beneath us remaining steady, but from a personal relationship with the One who holds us firm when everything else is shaking.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s something greater than the “Big One,” something stronger than fear and more enduring than this fragile world, cheer up: the answer is a resounding yes! There has always been an open invitation for those who are searching, hurting, or questioning--an invitation from Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He offers more than comfort; He offers Himself to give you life, a purposeful life.

Pause and Ponder:
❓What is your foundation when life gets shaky?
❓What if Jesus, who sees you, knows you, and wants to carry you through, is just waiting for you to come to Him?

Lord God, 🙏
In the face of the coming Big One, I am afraid. I know You are real, and that You see me, would You help me? I don’t always know what to believe, and I feel confused. But I do know this: I need peace. I am weary of fear and doubt ruling my life. I long for something solid to stand on. Jesus, I believe You are who You say You are. Help my unbelief. Teach me to rely on You completely, unshaken by circumstances, all the days of my life. Amen.

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...

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...

"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...
