TIME IS NOW - Do Good Today

TIME IS NOW - Do Good Today.

Typically, there is Sunrise and sun set.  We are sleeping at night and waking up in the morning and It’s just another day to deal with.  Sometimes  Im thinking of going on top of a building maybe Burj Khalifa the higher it gets the better and feel for a moment what was really happening down here from different view and distance, seeing busy cars on the road at day time and all the glowing lights at night time.  I just can’t stop thinking and thinking how everyone was so busy while time is passing by. hmmmm its kinda cold up there you can barely hear the sound of wind whispering in your ear and the sound of vehicle horns? Yes definitely but not disturbing anymore. Now, you can ask yourself and wonder, how many people down there are doing good?, doing bad? doing the best or the worst?  Because from here i could see and analyze things visibly.  Its just like playing basketball, you wouldn't totally know you're having a bad game and your team is heading for a bad day. sometimes you need to sit on the bench to understand what was really happening.  And hey! your coach sees a lot of those, indeed He saw the real picture. 

 Back in real situation i am thinking and asking myself, over and over again, may nagawa ba kong mabuti sa araw na ito? in the eyes of God? for my family, my friends? or those who are in need? Did i do something good in my job that contributes for the smooth executions of operations or a handicap? You can never fully understand which stage in your life you are in, unless you stop for a while and look for a space. You are overwhelmed with so many things in your life that you didn't notice that you are long timed off track. We don't know that we are already hurting people, hurting our family, hurting our friends...and hurting ourselves by our wrong doings coz you think its only okey. Its not okey! shuhada!  Nobody is perfect, but thats not an excuse for us to do crazy and bad things. Did we asked sometimes ourselves before going to sleep if we have done something good the whole day? As I've said from the beginning of our blog sharing that you are reading now, there is sun rise and there is sun set or let me put this way... SIN rise or SIN set? how do you reflect on your activities today? Ask again yourself.. are you doing right? don't put your fingers on others, we are all liable for our individual actions wether it is good or bad. Ecclesiastes 3:17 " I said to myself,“God will bring into judgment   both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”

Not all the time the situation will favor our side because there is A TIME FOR EVERYTHING, our situation now is the result of our actions before which we tends to repair and repair and repair and repair and repair to make it right because we did not do the right thing yesterday! If we do something good and right everyday we will not end up turning our heads back looking our situation that causes pains. Masakit kaya magka stiff neck. :)  That is why for me my friends quiet time is very important, when we are alone and no distractions this is the time that we reflect on things in our life, you don't necessarily need to take in a literal sense that you need to go to the top of a high rise buildings on your quiet time, because it would sometimes worsen only the situation especially if you are emotional and had suicidal tendencies hehehe most likely you will end up jumping to your death and be quiet for good. 

That being said, we need to set aside things that makes us busy for a while, you can have time for sure, because if there is a will there is a way right?  I can tell you now that this is the time of the LORD, you may be a sinner doing ungodly immoral  things just like me, just like everybody else but that doesn't matter, coz thats when GOD's grace is sufficient. When we are weak we are strong, if you have GOD in your heart, in your life. Stop doing all the busy talking, have your quiet time so that you could hear GOD's voice in your heart. There is a time for everything, this is our time to make things right. I remember the titantron theme song of WWE Superstar John Cena that says, You Cant See Me, My Time is NOw!.  I will rephrase this one, and make it as HE can see me and the time is NOW. 

Serving God or Serving Yourself

Serving God or Serving Yourself.

Just when i think of every time that we are on the church, everybody is busy everyone has their own ministry, every one is serving. Serving what? can u honestly tell me who are you serving? One of my favorite song that we always sing in the church every sunday when i was in my home country is.... "The greatest thing in all my life is serving You" it is then associated with knowing, loving and praising.  Ang sarap kantahin, especially when you are singing deep into your heart. Masarap kasi ma inlove kay Lord. Kasi pag na kay Lord ka, kahit magulo ang mundo mo at madaming problema, you dont care, why?  coz you know that you have GOD in you heart whom you served, whom you always sing. When you served God its not because you need something, its not because somebody told you to do so and yet you dont really understand why are you serving HIM. You dont served to please someone around you, you dont served to please yourselves, because when you are truly serving the Lord your God, you are giving up everything about yourselves, sabi nga sa arabic word, "Kaliwali yourself".  I have read one quote that says, " The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much". Napaka self centered naman ng quote na to noh? what is painful about loving someone too much? the only thing that will hurt you and give you pains is the repercussion of loving someone or something which you shouldn't do in the first place. But most of us are hard headed and stubborn. Tanggapin man natin or hindi, most of the time we are all self pleaser, yup! you read it right self pleaser! Any objection? pleasing yourself is what makes you happy, its all about yourself. Ask yourself, why are you serving God now? why are you going to church? I will answer for you...coz wala lang, i just liked it, coz im a Christian? really? Wait... my cp is ringing!  and its my wife :) hehe! She just asked me now, what im doing, coz she knows i just got home from work, and i told her a while ago, nag da download ako ng Christian music. Sabi ng baby wife ko, yung kanta daw na "remind me who i am" mganda daw, then i told her na will check it after i write this blog that you are reading now... You know what my friends and blog readers? the suggested title of the song from my wife has too much relevance to what are we sharing now. Can somebody here remind me and you who are we? Who are we? why are we doing this and that? Only you alone can answer this question. Because you will be identified and reminded of who you are on the result of your actions and not with what you are saying.

Its just like this, you said that your pet is a cat! and yet your cat is barking???? or you are selling a skin whitener product, kunwari glutathione, may whitening cream and soap ka pa, pero ikaw mismo maitim. Gets mo dba? hahahaha ang dami ganyan cases, lalo na when we talked about serving God. Yes you are serving God, sabi mo eh, pero malalaman natin yan kapag hindi kna tumatanggap ng love gift and yet you are still serving HIM. You are still serving God though you are alone doing it, ikaw na halos gumagawa lahat but you are not complaining. Dont get it wrong my friends, God is not after of how many things you've done for Him, kaya wag ka magbibilang ng trabaho mo. kasi mapapagod ka lang, God is always looking at your heart, alam mo nman yan dba? you always heard that on Sunday preachings, its all about the quality serving God. When you are after the quantity, its pretty obvious that you are only serving yourself. Eto ang nkakatakot, those sho are so called Christians and churches who are only after the quantity of their members, only after the quantity of their departments will be the absolute candidates to inherit Hell as their final destination. Imagine ang dami dami nyo sa church tapos lahat pala puro ipokrito at ipokrita? puro self pleaser?  performer?  lier? lahat na ng errr! Are you one of them? i mean are we? Wake up! we cannot serve three master! bakit three? Si Lord, Si Satan na KSP and sino ung pang 3? ......IKAW! because you are master or your own self. wag mo lahat isisi kay Satan mga shortcomings mo, kasi magcocomplain yan sayo!  hahahaha lahe nalang sya tinuturo mo eh samantalang may free will ka. Again ask ourselves, am i serving God genuinely? or only me? Remind yourself who you are, why you are doing those things, is it worth? or it is crap? Sabi ng John 12:26. "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me." 

If you are serving yourself? who will honor you? what can you benefit from that? its all vanity. 

Araw Ng Ating Mga Nanay :)

Si Nanay....

Ang sarap Ng walang ginagawa, wlang Iniisip at Hindi ka napapagod. Yun bang tipong gigising ka bawat Araw na halos abutin ka na nang tanghali. Hayahay ang buhay di ba? bawat isa sa atin Aminin man natin sa Hindi ay naghahangad Ng kapahingahan, ayaw Ng napapagod, ayaw Ng maraming Iniisip. naturalesa Ng Tao yan, wala nman sigurong gusto mahirapan kung maiiwasan.  Naisip ko tuloy yung mga nanay natin, simula sa pagkabata natin, sila yung nag aalaga sa atin, sila yung napupuyat, na kahit Antok na Antok na eh gigising para lang tyo ay mabantayan at aalagaan. Naalala mo ba yung kanta ni Freddy Aguilar? Yung kantang "Anak", yan ay isinalin sa ibat ibang wika para maintindihan Ng mundo ang mensahe Ng awiting Ito. Ngayong malaki na tyo, at tamang pag iisip, nakita mo ba kung paano naghihirap ang nanay mo para lamang Mabigay ang lahat Ng pangangailangan mo? Ni Hindi mo nga alam kung paano sya nkaka pag abot sayo Ng pera para may pang gastos ka. Na kahit Hindi mo nman kailangan ang isang Bagay, ginagawan Ng paraan Ng nanay natin dahil sa Pinipilit mong hingin. alam mo ba pano kumita Ng pera ang mga nanay natin? Ni Hindi mo alam kung kumakain pa sya Ng tama para lamang may ma ibigay sayo at sa akin, isusubo n lang nila, ibibigay pa sa atin. 

sila nanay ang gimigising Ng maaga pa sa tilaok Ng manok, na kahit gsto magpahinga, Hindi Puede, kahit may sakit babangon, para magbanat Ng buto. May rest day ba ang mga nanay? Wala!  Simula Ng sinilang ka sa mundong Ito, ang pa gigging nanay nila ay Hindi nagtatapos sa Araw Ng sabado or linggo o holiday, ang pa gigging nanay nila sa atin ay walang hangganan. Naisip ko din yung mga nanay pala na wlang hanap buhay, pano kaya sila nakaka survive as bawat Araw?  Ang hirap kaya mag isip Ng Bagay na Hindi mo alam kung San mo kukunin pero Kelangan mong gawan Ng paraan, Hindi isang Araw, Hindi isang linggo. sila nanay ang madalas mag isip Hanggang sa pag tulog, kung Ano ang kakainin mo kinabukasan. Oo, Hindi ninyo, kundi MO. Walang pinagkakakitaan, manghihiram yan, nagpapaalipin yan, naghihirap, buhay ang binibigay Ng mga nanay natin para ikaw ay mabuhay Ng normal at mapag aral. e ikaw? Ako, choosy ka pa sa pagkain, nagdadabog kapA, Hindi mo ba naiisip ang mga damdamin Ng mga nanay natin sa mga pagkakataong nag iinarte ka. Ikaw ba napagod? Akala Kasi natin ok lang lahat Ng Bagay, Kasi d mo nman na kikita ang mga nanay na mukhang pagod, d mo madalas mababakas as mukha nya yan, Kasi nkangiti pa din ang mga nanay natin, ayaw Kasi nila na isipin pa natin sila. Kaya kahit Hindi ok, okey pa din sila, pero as mga Ora's na Hindi mo sila nakikita o sila ay nag iisa, sila ay may dinaramdam o iniinda. hanggat sila ay may lakas, ginagawa nila ang lahat para sayo At sa akin, Hindi dahil sa obligasyon kundi dahil sa dakilang pagmamahal nila sa atin. 

Ngayong may trabaho kna? At d na kaya magtrabaho nila nanay, alalahanin mo na ang sakripisyo Ng isang Ina ay wlang hinihintay na kapalit. Hindi importante kung ikaw ay nag bibigay sa knila sa pinag kakakitaan mo. Dahil kahit magtrabaho ka buong buhay mo, Hindi mo kayang bayaran ang sakripisyo at pag aaruga na bibigay nya sayo at sa akin. Wag kang magbibilang Ng mga Bagay na Inaabot mo as Kanila, kahit gumamit ka Ng pinaka latest na calculator Hindi mo kayang tuusin yan, maniwala ka. Hindi ka dapat mapagod sa pagtulong sa Kanila, kahit pa may sarili k nang pamilya, Oo, sa pangkalahatang Pananaw, priority natin ang mga pamilya natin, pero ang usapin Ng pagtulong at pagdamay sa mga nanay natin ay Hindi dapat matapos, Hanggang sa kahuli hulihan. Sana Hindi lang tuwing Mother's Day natin sila naalala, dinadalaw at sinasabihan Ng I love you Nay, Hindi mo alam kung Hanggang kelan nlng natin sila makaksama, baka Kasi Hindi n  nya madinig sa susunod pa.  Pero Hindi nagtatapos sa pagsasabi Ng mahal kita Nanay, pinapadama yan, Hindi salita sa salita ang tunay na lenguahe Ng pagmamahal kundi puso sa puso na naipadadama at walang pinipiling Oras at legalidad, bakit? Sapagkat may mga taong nagbibigay Ng pag aaruga at pagmamahal katumbas Ng para sa isang tunay na anak o higit pa,  Sila yung mga Hindi natin tunay na Ina sa laman subalit tunay sa atin ang pagmamahal. 

Pangarap ko mga kaibigan para sa lahat Ng Ina na dumating ang Oras na sila ay wala nang iisipin, Hindi napapagod at panatag ang ka looban. Ito ay Hindi isang Linya o talumpati sa isang patimpalak, kundi Ito ang aking nararamdaman. Nagpapasalamat Ako una at higit sa lahat sa ating Panginoong Diyos sapagkat Siya ang dahilan kung bakit dakila ang ating mga Ina, sapagkat Siya ang pinakadakila sa lahat Ng dakila. 

Maligayang Araw Ng mga Ina sa lahat Ng Nanay :)
