Kapag humihina na pusong lumalaban, ipahinga. Kapag masmatimbang na ang sakit kesa ligaya, bumitaw na. At kapag di na kayang maniwala pa, lumayo na muna.

Then you'll learn to see the beautiful things stored for you.
That you gotta do a favor to yourself, and that is to love, care and treat yourself like how God is for you. 

Who do you say I am? I AM WHO I AM.

WALANG MAWAWALA.

She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. Proverbs 31:25

Beloved Abe - Walang Mawawala

Mundo mo'y 'di nalilihis

Sa mundo kong marikit

Ang kada araw na sumasapit

Sinasalubong ng nakangiti

Kahit gaano kadilim ang langit

Pagkukubli'y 'di sinasaisip

Ipikit mga mata

Kamay ko'y iyong hawakan

Sa takot ika'y kumawala

At subukang languyin

Ang lalim ng aking pag-ibig

At subukang alamin

Ang pinahihiwatig ng

Pusong nananabik

Ika'y kumawala

'Wag ng mangamba

Walang mawawala

Isip mo'y 'di na bago

Sa mundo kong magulo

Ngunit kung bibigyan ng pagkakataon

Hayaan mo akong

Ipakita sayo ang

Tinatagong ganda nito

Ipikit mga mata

Kamay ko'y iyong hawakan

Sa takot ika'y kumawala

At subukang languyin

Ang lalim ng aking pag-ibig

At subukang alamin

Ang pinahihiwatig ng

Pusong nananabik

Ika'y kumawala

'Wag ng mangamba

Walang mawawala

Tulungan mo akong

Ipakita sa'yo

Ang tunay na anyo

Ng aking mundo

Tawag nya'y pakinggan

Puso'y buksan

Takot ay pakawalan

At subukang languyin

Ang lalim ng aking pag-ibig

At subukang alamin

Ang pinahihiwatig ng

Pusong nananabik

Ika'y kumawala

'Wag ng mangamba

Walang mawawala

God is good in both the giving and the taking away because both are for the sake of our joy in Him.

My God is good. 
My God is good to me.
My God is good at being God. 

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.

Once we have forgiven, however, we get a new freedom to forget. This time our forgetting is a sign of health; it is not a trick to forget spiritual surgery. We can forget because we are healed. But even if it's easier to forget after we forgive, we should not make forgetting a test of our forgiving. The test of forgiving lies with the healing of the lingering pain of the past, not with forgetting the past has ever happened. 

God invented forgiving as a remedy for a past that not even he could change and not even he could forget. His way of forgiving is the model for our forgiving. 

quotes by: Lewis Smedes

Verses to ponder:

One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13-14

Words to remember:

New - Allowing God to change our hearts to change our lives. He transforms by giving us new hearts for Him. 
Remedy - Cure, Solution, Answer
Forgetting - putting something out of our minds; clearing our minds with less important things (because it has no power against us) so we can be free to do what is most important 

Reference: After the Boxes are Unpacked, Susan Miller

It's too much when you're starting to lose yoursef in the process.

C'mon, Rau. Let go. You can do it. He can handle himself; God's got him. Let Lordship mold him. 

Forever was in your eyes the moment I saw you cry.

Letting go means having no room for any reason to be angry at God.

Rest, my love.

Rest, my love
and find yourself
in His loving arms

Beloved,
leave all the past behind
and receive His love

He is the only One
who will never leave
who will never give up
who will never let go

He looks at you
and only you
Inclines His ear
and hears
every whisphered
prayer of your heart

He is calling you out
Calling you back home
To rest in His care
as He sings over you
rejoices in your comeback

And my prayer
Dear One,
that You find Him
incomparible

May He give you
a thousand reasons
to stay by His side
to be satisfied

He loves you
much more than I do
much as anyone will do

I pray that
in your brokenness
you will learn to
yield in His grace
surrender in His love

He is holding you
He will sustain
He will lead

He is good,
my love,
no matter what.

He is right and good
His ways are perfect
He is in control

And if you think
that things
are falling out
and failing

Know that
it is
falling into place
and You are
failing forward

Rest, my love
leave your to cares Him
Rest, dear one
Let Him be the One

The One to deliver
The One to save
The One to rescue
The One to give

Rest, my love.
Find your utmost
delight in Him
who loves you
chose you,
honors you,
and gave it all
for you.

No more condemnation.
No more lies and death.
No more bad and sad days.

He has come
for you
He is waiting
Come home
Rest, His love.

How many times do you have to forgive? AS MUCH AS IT IS NEEDED.

And He giveth again and again. And again. 

Breaking a beloved's heart.

Wag ka mag-alala. Pinaglalaban ka nun. :)

Everything is sinking... and it's getting harder to breathe... and believe.

As for me, the greatest expression of love is setting someone free. It's the saddest story but a lovely one. To let go because God loves you both to save your souls more than your heart. To let go because you love much, and you know they deserve all the best and happiness in this world. And to let go, because you were just meant to pass by in the story. But it's not a bad thing though. Painful, might be. But you see, only love could count the cost; for loving is dying and denying yourself just to serve others. And isn't it amazing that you could love like that?

Just a few more days, 
these eyes will dry up and
this heart will not be sick

It's gonna be fine 
He's gonna be fine 
You'll be fine letting go

Let go
Let God
It is well, my soul

x x Sometimes, God breaks our hearts to save our souls. x x

I let go of all I have just to have all of You. And no matter what the cost, I will follow You. Jesus, everything I've lost I have found in You. WHEN I FINALLY REACH THE END I'LL SAY, YOU ARE WORTH IT ALL.

Let it slip away from my hands, Lord.

Iiyak ako pero papatawarin kita.
