Choosing goodbye

They say, Love is best expressed when we’re with our loved ones and is usually best appreciated when we get to spend time with them. Some people just make us feel important and be needed.Love help us find our purpose in life and it gives us a sense of worth. No wonder the bible says "God is Love". It is by this love that God shed His blood for us…

Indeed Love is essential in any relationship but LIFE is filled with goodbye’s as well.It might be temporary or permanent but in any relationship —whether with family, friends or lovers, the word "goodbye" is dreadful to hear.

"Goodbye" to those painful incidents in life , it gives an empty feeling deep down. And saying those words, always brings that feeling of loss.I guess though we already know that saying goodbye is sometimes bound to be part in any relationship, we try to think of it as a defeat. Goodbyes partly reflect our failure to sustain a relationship. Oftentimes we never intended to do it but sometimes it is inevitable. We decide to part ways(permanent or temporal) because it is for our own good.I was reminded by an advice given to me during a tough times in my life. If a certain situation, a person or a thing hinders you to grow and instead drag you down then  perhaps it is an obvious sign that "maybe" it is not in accordance to His will.It was an eye-opener for me and I chose to end it up.


Life's Tragedy



As what I always heard on Sunday sermon..,

“All things work together for good to those who trust in Him.

The devil meant it for evil but God meant it for good.”

As for me, Ondoy made me realize so many things.It awakens so many emotions. Awaken my dreams and purpose. And for one thing face the question, Am a ready? It scare me. One thing im sure, I’m not yet ready.As you aged, you also mature in some way. Phases and stages in life, we all go through.And sometimes this confuses so many things. Sometime the longer you have taken steps towards that goal, then you feel you’re lost. Did I made the right choices in life?

I tend to think too much on what lies ahead forgetting the importance of living now.I always meditate on the things i never got the chance to have. Shame on me, i fail to appreciate the blessings i had. I was really moved by today’s preaching. The humble preacher shared Exo 3:1-11 entitled: God called Moses. God uses so many ways to call our attention.And for instance Ondoy in some way was His way to call my attention.Because, i was already half hearted.My current state was being more of me and less of Him.The delight on meditating His word everyday was more mechanical than of a passion.Oh forgive me,God. I lost track of Your faithfulness. I was being ungrateful.

If you are having tough times like i do, now is the very least that you doubt God.At times that it’s difficult to comprehend Gods way stop! and start trusting Him.If you are lost in that road start trusting Him for He is able to straighten your path.If your Christian life seems dry just hang on. And claim his promise, A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY.
