"Fear not" is the first message of Christmas. - Luke 2:10 "Hope is coming to crush all the hard incoming." - Anne Voskamp.

"Maybe the place we experience God-with-us today is in the very fears we have about our own lives, our own world, our own future. The future that keeps us from believing that anything can be different. The fears that make the silence of the Divine feel like centuries have passed. The fears that we are here all on our own. The fears we will be holding at our upcoming angelic visit.

Today, let our fears be the starting place of divine connection, because if a messenger from heaven were to show up with an announcement of good tidings of great joy, a message that will change everything, historically that proclaimation would begin with the greeting "Be not Afraid" - or, the way it is today, "Merry Christmas"."

I don't understand how people can give judgements just like that.

Lord, tayo muna please. I don't want anything, anybody.

"Love, itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away."

If you're not part of the problem, you're not part of the solution.

It's always enough. Never too much. Never lacking. Just enough for today.

Thankful for people who would remind you that you are seen and heard and you matter. I want to justify but what she said was true, something that I also forget... That God's grace comes beyond our understanding. Too simple or too grand for complex mind. But the proper response isn't about what we can do for Him. Rather, it creates in us a thankful heart and grateful humility. And that's how He pursues us always.
