Behind the Curtain

You made it! My beloved, well done to all the chapters you finished. Well done to the season you have been through.  It's not easy to endure it, but seeing you standing still, that's what makes your story more beautiful.  You know what? I really appreciate you for not giving up on your calling despite of all those voices you hear, telling you “you are not enough, you can't make it”. I also appreciate you for all the battles you have fought, though you think you lose all the battles, but you really did great! You fought the good fight of faith. And that's what makes you amazing.  Thank you for trying it again every time you fail, i know, that it's not easy to start again but you still keep on going! And I am proud of you. Thank you for holding tight to the promise even though your losing your hope at times. It seems like it is impossible to happen but you keep on waiting until you will see the result. Thank you for choosing to depend on me everyday. Yes,

I t’s been a long tiring day my dear because our journey into the promise was too long and the battle we fight is not yet over. I know, there are those moment that you ask,  “how long will I wait? How long will it take? How long will I endure? How long will this season last?  You long for the good old days because you feel that you are no longer growing. The progress was too slow, the process was too long. There are those days that you are tempted to complain and compare your situation to others. There are times that you lose your battle within, your feelings surpass your passion. Your praise report now is getting worn out. You no longer hold the reason of your joy. There are those moments that you cry out to God but it seems like nothing’s happening, and there are those thoughts that you think your works are in vain. But  please-- keep fighting, fight until the end to fulfill your purpose, to finish your duty. Please don’t stop until you see the results. Don’t quit

I’m letting go “This was the last thing I expected to hear, and I walked off with a heavy heart because I was holding on tight to a lot of things and I’m not about to let go……….” I was ready on that day to come when I could finally meet him and be with him forever. “I am ready”, I thought ----ready to give the things that he would ask, in able for me to stay with him for the rest of my life. Ready to do the things that I must do just to gain his love. Thus, I prepared for him so that he would be pleased, and finally that day has come. I built up strength and courage to stand in front of him and face him with confidence. I was so excited on that day, because I thought everything will go right, but it was just a thought. A thought that sometimes was too far from reality, the thought that “I can” but reality says, “I can’t”. The thought that “I was ready” but the truth is, I was wrong. I came to him running, as he was preparing for a journey. I greeted him with great

A Call of Grace Every day was a routine. What’s happening now has happened before. Everything was done repeatedly; we eat, work, and sleep. Things are the same over and over again. As the writer of Ecclesiastes has said that there’s nothing new in life, I guess I agree with him… until one moment comes. That one day in your life will give you a big impact. Those moments are the ones that are breaking the habit; a moment where dyed-in-the wool will disappear, a certain moment that even if it’s over; it will still go on. They are lasting moments that stays even after years have passed. These certain moments holds meaning in our life. They make the old ones become new. And at the spur of the moment it happens. I came from a well to do family so I almost had everything but I grew up in a tradition where everything that is written in the book of law must be obeyed. So I mastered everything and strictly followed the law that’s why they call me Mr. know it all, and then I became a p

THE BEAUTY OF A SHADOW This morning when you wake up, can you do me a favor? Before you go to your comfort room, before you brush your teeth, before you comb your hair and look onto your Smartphone, before you fix your bed and do the first thing you need to do; will you stop for a while? And stay on the bed where you are sitting right now. That’s it! Let him gaze upon you just for a little time, because this is the moment that he likes seeing you; your eyes, nose, lips and everything in you. Yes! Include those moles, pimples and warts…. Ohhh-- even your dark spot, eye bags and your birthrights/marks. Let him captures your beauty and savor it for a moment because this is the perfect view he has ever seen and I know he would be satisfied; just enough to bring this all day long. You know what? You always put a smile on his face so that’s why; can you do it every day? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yesterday, as you got off from your bed I saw you looking on the mirror, you star

Good Job To the Brave one. Good Job! For the past few days you’ve done well. It’s amazing how you handle your stressful days and your sleepless nights. I see how you choose patience and understanding over being short tempered. You know what? I see your confidence today, by standing strong this morning. I see how you are brave enough to face all the challenges of “tomorrow”. As the sun rises you also rise with a new hope painted in your heart and as you greet “good morning" you declared your victory to the world. I’m also seeing your beauty in everything you do. Your hands; on how you use it in giving, your ears; on how you listen to your co-workers, your eyes; on how you look at people with love and oh---your lovely voice, your words are encouragement to other people and what I really like the most is your love for God. I know that every day you struggle just to choose God over everything. You really did a good fight over your desires! Your prayers are like music in the ear
