None of us like to suffer. . .
and we may say,
"God, I don't like it. I don't understand why."We may argue with Him, tell Him exactly how we feel. Just let Him know,
"Father, I don't like anything about this. I feel it's unfair, it's unjust."Go ahead and tell Him. Open up your heart. He fully understands.
It's okay to cry. . .
It's natural to weep. Tell God:
"I'm weak. I failed."
Confess to Him,
"I've sinned."
He understands when you say,
"God, I just can't handle some things."
Never think, "Christians don't cry." Remember, Jesus cried.
Never say,
"Christians can't show weakness."
Paul said,
"When I feel as if the bottom has droppe out and I don't feel one ounce of energy, strength, or resistance within me, then I experience the mighty grace of my almighty God."
(2 Corinthians 12:9, paraphrase)
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
God is in everything:
even the things in life that we do not like,
even the things in life that cause us pain.
Because you're a child of God, He holds every circumstance in His hand.
You see, the heart of man is in the hand of God, and like the waters He turns it whithersoever He will.
(Proverbs 21:1, paraphrase)
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

i have a friend who has a sickness called "nega-vititis".nakakahawa siya... i don't feel good talking to her.I started praying to God and thanked Him for His Hedge of Protection around me...and i asked more...i said to Him : God with this Hedge of protection that screens out evil things, please screen out also, negative people, negative thoughts (doubts, fears, faint heart),even negative situations)...
one time, i told myself and the Lord, that the next time she makes "missed call" i will not call her back.though she always tells me, i always make her feel better and think clearer.On the contrary her constant "reklamo sa buhay" makes me feel tired talking to her.
Fast forward to a week after praying for the hedge of protection to screen out "nega-tivitis". Yesterday, she gave "missed call" again. I was tempted not to call her back, and i prayed to God first to give me the right words to say to her...and then i called her, " so kumusta ka na? masaya naman ang bagong taon?", Sabi niya sa una, "wala pa ring nabago,pero alam ko maganda na ang pasok ng 2010 sa akin! Feel ko, hindi ako pinababayaan ng Panginoon at binibigay naman Niya yung mga hiningi ko sa Kanya! Malakas and katawan ko ngayon!at me magandang balita pa!"(long story na ito)
WOW! answered prayer ako, sabi ko sa sarili ko.
So i just thank HIm for everything.
teka, Ano na nga ba ang topic dito?
Pr jon, sa dami ng blogs mo, nawala yata ako sa topic.
just wanted to say:
Puede nating piliin ang mind set natin. Andiyan ang Diyos natin who teach us and lead us the way according to His will for us.
magandang araw po sa lahat!

Ok po 'te Juliet, you're still in the topic... hehehe...
Maganda nga po ang nasabi nyo.. at salamat po sa inyong post... very interesting...
Salamat din po pr. Jon. i think i am experiencing one of those "not-so ordinary" moments in my life. WOW natapilok ako kanina! at becoz of that, nagising akong bigla! ha ha ha! parang:' Hoy! hindi lahat ng kulay sa mundo Pink! " Naging pilit kaya yung ngiti ko sa kasalubong ko? (Aray! sa loob loob ko)
Pag dating ko sa office, meron akong text na natanggap. "Bad news" pa rin! napuno na ako. Kaya yung rest back ko, totoo rin. Not sugar coated. bare na maanghang talaga...and i felt good after it. i had put people in their places and it could help them grow up, if they take it positively. it is their choice.
Salamat sa araw na ito at nagsimula lang yun dahil pinabayaan ng Panginoon na matapilok ako!
