"I want to make sure that I always show up at my best, at all times, in everything I do so that I can excel."

That was painful. But true. So thank you. I know it was hard for you to be honest about your issue with me, so I appreciate the effort and all the more the intention. I felt your love and God's love as you have addressed the matter. It also reminded me of my worth. Thank you. Thank you.

Heavy March

I'm sad and disappointed.

How could people be like that?

Worse, your family.

I wanna get angry.

Lord, it's so unfair.

I know this is not your punishment to me, because You love me.

I know You love me and you don't hope me to be bitter about the situation.

Lord, you know how it hurts so much now.

Why can't it be easy?

I know these are just one of these days, of that season, before breakthrough.

Lord, I forgive them.

They don't know what they are saying.

I pray that You will overflow You love in their lives.

I pray that You overtake them with Your goodness.

I pray that they will see Your faithfulness in their lives.

I pray that You protect their families and their health.

I pray that You send Your angels to fight for them.

I pray that You bless them and their decisions.

I pray that one day, they will encounter Your salvation.

I pray for faith to arise in my heart.

I pray for courage to arise from my faith.

I pray for protection in my heart and mind.

I pray that I will continue to choose to honor and glorify You, Lord, no matter the circumstances and whoever may be involved.

Lord, I pray for Earl.

Thank you for His life.

Thank you for healing and restoring him in Your loving kindness.

Thank you for guiding and providing for Him.

Thank you for opening his heart in Your Fathering.

Lord, I pray that you continually pursue Him.

Satisfy and saturate His being until You alone is enough - mightily enough.

I pray that you bless Him in every desire in His heart.

Give him favor, O Lord, for Your are merciful and gracious.

You know all that he is, I pray that You fill Him with Your knowledge and power.

I pray that you comfort Him on nights that He can't sleep worrying about the future.

Remind him of Your goodness, faithfulness and loving kindness in his life.

I pray that you keep him holy.

I pray that you help us keep this relationship holy, only for you.

Give him Your stature, Father.

Hold his hand always, because I can't right now.

Embrace him always so that he will always find safety, refuge and refreshment in Your presence.

Fight for him, lift him up, as life will sometimes try to pick on him.

But I know he is strong in You. Full of wisdom and charged by Your Spirit.

Lord, lead him by Your Word.

Lead him by Your ways.

Lead him in Your infinite wisdom.

Make him rest in Your Presence, Lord.

Let his seeking find Your rhythm of love and grace.

Protect his head and mind

May his leadership bless all the people around him.

May his life be an inspiration in all season.

I know Earl is, because I see You.

He is not like Abraham, David, Daniel, Peter or Paul.

He is the Earl whom You have made for Yourself.

The Earl that you love, you have chosen, and you cherish.

He is the one You have graced to remind me of Your love for me. 

May we praise and worship you in spirit and truth, for all season.

Kakapoy maging Marthaaa 😭😭😭

"Shaking can break you or it can become the very thing will cause you breakthrough... No amount of post-it notes will makes people remember, if God's timing is not ready... And for you, young people, please listen. When the fullness of time comes, everything becomes quick. You don't have to rush it. When the fullness of time hasn't come yet, you'll just gonna push and you'll just gonna get stressed. You can try as hard as you can, but it won't work, because it is not God... You can have two wings - you may have the favour of God, fear of God, but you do not have faith to push you forward, destiny will not breakthrough. The sound barrier will not break through. And God wants you to breakthrough that destiny, into the destiny He has for you... Faith is believing that God is for me and not against me. That God is the ruler of the all creations. That God loves me and cares for me. And when I do that, when I meditate on that, when I believe that with all my heart, I can find myself not becoming impatient but operating in faith." - Joey Bonifacio

day twenty seven

Philippians 4:6-9

Pray - to rely on the peace of God (v. 7)
Ponder - to think about the promises of God over and over again (v. 8)
Practice - to live it out (v. 9)

Peace is a quiet confidence within regardless of circumstances, people or things. 

"For better or for worse, through sickness and in health, through faith and in questions, 'til death brings us closer, you are Mine. You are Mine and I am yours, I promise."

"...someone who asks God how to love you."

It's sooo amazing to think that God has been dealing and loving us lavishly and uniquely. Imagine, God has been telling people how to love and treat you right. God has been revealing ways to certain people how to love you the way He wants His love for you lavishly and uniquely. God has been calling people to become His love in this world, even in your world. You are that special. Very, very special.

You are that precious. 

You are that loved and protected lavishly. 

You are a treasure. 

No more hiding, love.

God is so, so proud of you.

You are a beloved.

So don't you ever think that you are worth low-key. 

No, you are worth telling the whole world of your great wonders.

He is reaching out because you're most beautiful when you're living in this truth. 

That's where the greatest irony lies, your deep loves are the cause of your great pains... and the truest joy.

The depth of your spirituality is contingent not in mere believing that you can be forgiven, but believing that you can be delighted in by God in Christ. We just don't want forgiveness, we want to be loved.

Jesus.

OPM is 😭😭😭

Sa kabila ng kasalanan ko
Tinanggap mo ako
Nakaraa'y kinalimutan mo
Ngayon ako'y sa'yo, sa'yo, sa'yo, sa'yo 

Niyakap mong mahigpit palapit sa'yo
Wala na ngang hihigit sa pag-ibig mo
Binawi mong lahat ng luha't kalungkutan sa aking puso 

Inakala kong ika'y napagod, lahat ay tinapos na
Kahit ginawa kang pansamantala iniwang mag-isa
Hayaan mong lahat ay maituwid ko 

Dahil sa pag-ibig mo hindi magbabago
Pinatawad ang lahat ng kasalanan ko
Dahil sa pag-ibig mo hindi mapapagod

 LOOOOOOORRRDDDDDD 😭😍😭😍😭😍😭🌼🔥

When Agsunta sang, "Unti-unting bubuoin ang pag-ibig na nawalay sa'kin. Iingatan na ang puso ko sa sakit na dala ng mundo. Babangon na ako sa pagkahimlay at daldalhin ang pag-asang Ikaw ang nagbigay. " I felt that bruh.

Comeback is real. 

We might find a place in this world someday, but at least for now, I gotta go my own way.

Let go of the life you wanted.

Don't be a perfectionist.
Let go of control.
Get over it.

Grace for every race.

You give and worship because God is worthy of it, not because you can give and worship. He is

You are my goodness; I am your punishment. You assumed everything I deserved and was, so I can receive everything you deserve and are. I'm rich. I'm adopted into the family of God. I have an imperishable inheritance. I'm going to shine like the stars in the kingdom of my Father. Even now. his holy power and joy has come into my life through the Holy Spirit, and it has begun to grow, and it will eventually swallow up all of my foolishness and all of my sadness and all of my weakness. I am rich..."

That is why the measurement of our devotion, lordship, love for the Lord, is not based on the things that we can actually do, but with what we can let go. Because He lived a perfect life, died a perfect death and resurrected, not to live or do all that He did because it is impossible, but for His righteousness to be upon us... So that we can be loved, accepted, and taken care of by God just like He was with Jesus.

So if Jesus is truly your treasure, He shall be incomparable and irreplaceable.

He doesn't take anything away, but we give it back to Him. 

Because He is worthy of it all.

If you want to be free and love, forgive and be healed.

She traded her heart's desire for God's will.

Because she knows God loves her.  
Because she trusts that God is good to her. 
Because she stands to be His beloved daughter.

There's nothing to prove or compare. 
Nothing broken, nothing missing. 
All for His glory. Holy, holy, holy!

And as she surrenders, 
she is strengthened, 
satisfied, safe and secured. 

These tears that I'm crying now are for you to be with me.

Or not.
