You are damaged, yet whole

Your pain is real. There are wounds that aren’t healed. Your heart is broken. Your tears cannot be hidden.

But hear this.... Being broken and damage will never be equal of being WEAK. Being a sinner never means being FORGOTTEN or being forever SICK.

Look at yourself now! You are now healing, thru God’s grace, experience God’s blessing.

Thank you for accepting God’s grace and His forgiveness. Now you’re finally healed, and look what He built!

...a stronger, a tougher, a fighter, a product of grace that is now free from any guilt. ❤️

Hi Kuya Jade, I am a leader in the church and I've been to several seminars and camps. ('di ko po ito sa ipanagmamalalaki, I just want to emphasize na sa dami po ng na-atenan kong seminars focusing on relationships ay 'di pa rin po malinaw sa aking ang konsepto ng 'prayer covenant') Tanong: Ano po ba dapat ang expectation ng magkaprayer covenant sa isa't isa at ano din dapat ang expectation ng church at ng mga tao na nakapaligid sa kanila. Should they be expected to really end up together?

In many Christian churches, there is this practice that we refer to as “having a prayer partner” or in Filipino, “mayroon nang pinapag-pray.” This practice refers to a man and a woman who are not yet committed to each other but are engaged in seriously seeking God’s will as to whether or not they should be in a romantic relationship that would ultimately lead to marriage and family life.

There are 2 major scenarios I know of that typify this practice::

Scenario 1:Step 1. Kahit hindi pa sigurado si lalaki, lalapit na siya kay babae para hilinging mag-pray silang dalawa kung sila nga ay dapat magka-relasyon.Step 2. Magpre-pray sila.Step 3. Magbibigay sila ng confirmation nila sa isa’t isa kung yes or no. Siyempre dapat yes silang dalawa pareho. Kapag may isang no, it’s all over. Friends na lang sila.

Scenario 2:Step 1. Dapat sigurado na si lalaki na si babae ang gusto niyang pakasalan. Lalapit siya kay babae para hilinging mag-pray siya for confirmation.Step 2. Magpre-pray sila.Step 3. Magbibigay ng confirmation si babae kung yes or no. Kapag no, it’s all over. Friends na lang sila.

Isang nakikita kong major vulnerability ng system (for lack of a better term) na ito ay ‘yung sa Scenario 1. Kapag kasi lumapit si lalaki kay babae, binibigyan niya ng cause for expectation ang babae. Ang dating sa kanya ay gustung-gusto na siya nung lalaki. Kaso, hindi pa nga siya masyadong sold out kay babae. Kaya siya lumalapit kay babae ay dahil gusto niya lang na sabay silang dalawa na mag-pray kay Lord for confirmation.

So may possibility na mag-no hindi lang si babae kundi pati na rin si lalaki kahit siya ang nag-initiate na mag-pray silang dalawa in the first place.

I think mas malaki ang posibilidad na masaktan ang babae sa Scenario 1. Parang nananahimik kasi siya tapos nilapitan siya ni lalaki to pray tapos biglang sasabihin ni lalaki, “Ay ‘wag na lang pala.” Hahahaha ano’ng trip natin niyan?

Kaya kung ako tatanungin, mas pabor ako sa Scenario 2. Dapat sigurado na si lalaki. Ibig sabihin, sa ganitong approach, dapat gustung-gusto na niya si babae. Wala nang posibilidad na sa proseso ng pananalangin nila ay si lalaki ang magsasabi ng “no.” Kasi, in the first place, nananahimik ‘yung babae tapos si lalaki nagpahayag ng interes. So dapat kapag nagpahayag ng interes, hindi half-hearted—dapat gustung-gusto na niya si babae. Paasa kasi ang lalaki kapag ganoon.

Of course, none of these procedures is in the Bible. But Biblical wisdom teaches us to choose courses of action that would not destroy peaceful relationships. In my view, Scenario 1 exposes a woman to great possibility for pain if she would be invited to expect by a half-hearted person. Scenario 2, meanwhile, suppresses that possibility.

Ibig sabihin, sa Scenario 2, may naganap munang serious prayer and seeking sa part ng lalaki on his own. Just between him and God. Hindi muna niya lalapitan si babae dahil hindi pa nga siya sure. Kapag sure na siya na gustung-gusto na niya si babae na pakasalan in the future, tsaka siya lalapit at hihilinging manalangin sila. (Admittedly, deeply rooted friendship is assumed here.)

By the way, I keep on saying that the guy should want the woman to the point that he looks forward to marrying her because that’s what Christian commitment logically demands. We engage in romantic relationships not for trial and error but because we look forward to building a God-fearing family.

I’m not saying here that Scenario 1 is always bound to fail and Scenario 2 promises heaven on earth. This prayer partner system is not perfect. In the end, navigating male-female relationships requires wise application of Biblical principles that instruct us to be respectful and considerate of other people’s feelings and dignity (Philippians 2:3-4; Ephesians 4:31-32; James 3:17; John 13:34-35).

No specific guidelines

Walang specific na mga guidelines ang churches tungkol sa bagay na ‘to. Pero ganoon talaga kasi the Bible is not dogmatic about the process of finding our lifetime partner. What is clear, though, is that God wants us to align our will to His will every time we are to make decisions in life.

God seems to be depicted in the Bible as someone who is able to bring the right people together for relationship regardless of prevailing courtship practices and cultural quirks. He was able to bind Isaac and Rebecca together for His purpose despite the circumstances of their marriage. In their case, Abraham had his chief servant find a partner for Isaac. That culturally accepted practice worked fine for them. Despite the lack of its savory appeal to our contemporary culture, fixed or arranged marriage in patriarchal societies did not prevent God from carrying out His purposes in the life of Isaac and the covenant family.

Power of prayer

One striking feature of this account in Genesis 24 is that the persons largely involved in the search for Rebecca expressed total dependence on God. At the beginning of the account, Abraham and the servant made solemn oaths before God. In verses 12, 26, 50, 52, and 56, the servant consistently acknowledged the role of God in bringing Rebecca to Isaac. The passage may not explicitly say it but a lesson in prayer and dependence on God can be clearly read from it.

This could well be a good foundation for prayer covenants prior to formally getting into romantic relationships. Time must be spent in prayer and serious seeking of God’s will as we make the crucial decision of who to build a family with. When we pray, we don’t force God’s hand into doing what we want Him to do. Instead, we present to Him the genuine desires of our hearts and ask Him to validate if they are according to His will or not.

What the church should expect

Para sa akin, dapat kung prayer partner pa lang kayo, ‘wag na ninyong ipamalita sa buong church. Pumili lang ng ilang taong mapapagkatiwalaan at makakatulong sa pagdedesisyon ninyo at, pinaka importante, hindi madaldal. Like maybe a pastor and a couple of leaders. Pero ‘yung ipapa-alam pa sa buong church??? No need to celebritize our up-and-coming relationships.

May alam akong ilang cases na nag-fail ang proseso dahil kung anu-anong mga alingasngas ang nag-intervene galing sa mga churchmates na wala sa hulog. Kaines lang.

The man and woman engaged in prayer should be left to themselves, accountable only to very select, trusted persons. No one should expect or pressure them to end up together. Thus, they should not be bound to disclose to so many church people the details of their inquiry to God.

Amen 🗻 (made by #SheReadsTruth)

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23-24 💕

How to be the Right Person?

Sir J: Jam bat ikaw di pa nagb’boyfried?

Me: “Alam ko po kasi sa sarili ko na I can’t consider myself YET to be the RIGHT PERSON to anyone.”

Yun oh! BOOM panis! Mga pabibong sagutan, pang Miss Universe ba? Haha

Hmm… “How to be the RIGHT PERSON” nga daw ba talaga?.

To simple answer this question, to be a right person seems like your goal is to be someone who’s wanted by everyone (dahil lahat saatin ay gusto si RIGHT ONE/PERSON). It is to be someone people most ideal (pangarap ng lipunan kumbaga).

Sometimes we think that to be the right person, we should achieve perfection first. Na para ikaw ay matawag na RIGHT PERSON, you should be PERFECT. But in my opinion, that’s not true. Hindi naman talaga, dahil kung perfection ang pag-uusapan, si God lang naman ang kilala kong perpekto. Kahit nga si Superman na machong macho at lumilipad at napaka lakas ay may kahinaan din.

Kung ang perception mo sa RIGHT ONE mo is PERFECT ONE, you can NEVER find that ONE. Or if your perception to be the right person is to be a perfect one, sumali ka na sa clan na naniniwalang WALANG FOREVER dahil hindi ka po talaga magiging right person at hindi mo po talaga makikita ang right person para sayo. Dahil sabi nga NOBODY is perfect. Nobody was, nobody is, and nobody will be.

It’s like looking for something very expensive that no amount of money can afford.

In short, for us to be able to be the right person, we should know first the possible way to be a RIGHT ONE by knowing first that it is different from being perfect, because to be the right person is possible, but to be perfect is not.

PAANO NGA BA MAGING RIGHT PERSON?

Let us first briefly discuss where this question came from.

Ang unang tanong kasi saakin noon ay paano daw ba mahahanap ang right person, ang sagot ko, “before you find the right person, be the right person first”, so eto na ang bagong tanong, “how to be the right person” ba?

Personally napapatanong din naman ako sa sarili ko kung ako ba mismo ay right person na para sakanya (kung sino man ang taong iyon), and siguro ikaw din, tapos sasabihin ng iba sayo, “you are good enough for me”, yung para bang sinasabi na nilang ikaw na ang right one para sakanila. Yiee nuks.(wag kang papauto bes. haha)

But it should be clear to us that there are many things we should consider first before we can say that you are already the right person.

Gaya nalang ng sitwasyon na you did everything na para masabing tamang tao ka para sakanya. You exerted enough effort, time, money, and anything you know that a right person will do. But the question is, if you did your very best for someone, can we already consider ourselves to be that “RIGHT PERSON”? hmm

Hindi naman karamihan pero meron ding iilan na after how many years of being together, being in a strong relationship, yet end up saying “you’re not the right person for me” 💔. There are many reasons why some couples end with break ups telling that they are not meant for each other pala. Can we say that it happens because we’re not the “right person” for them? Probably we could say that, but let us look at the other side, maybe the problem is not that we aren’t the right person, but we became the right person for the wrong person.

May nagsabi saakin noon, anyone can be a right one, but not right one FOR YOU, because they may be the right person, but right person for someone else. Perfect ideal mo na si ate or si kuya, nagkakasundo kayo sa maraming bagay, pero in the end, hindi pala kayo ang will ni Lord para sa isat-isa. But don’t be sad, it doesn’t mean na wala ng right one for you, hindi lang siya, pero sure meron ka. :)

One main aspect na dapat nating i’consider is the person we are pursuing, remember that you can never be the right person if you are pursuing the wrong person. No matter how good you are, you will never be good enough for them, not because you’re not the right person, but because they are.

Another thing we should learn before becoming the right person is to know the difference between the word “desire” and “deserve”. To be the right person is everyones desire. As we lately discussed that to be the right person, its a must that we should also pursue the right person for us. Whoever that person, we should not “just desire them”, but let us assure that we can say that we also “deserve them”.

What we desire is sometimes different from what we deserve. When I was in first year college, it was first day of 2nd semester, tinanong kami ng prof namin kung ano yung gusto (desire) naming grade for her subject, sinulat namin sa maliit na papel then pinasa namin sakanya (at syempre naman 1.00 na ang nilagay ko, kung mangangarap ka lang din naman bat di mo pa taasan diba.haha). She told us that we may not get those grades at the end of semester but we also can, she said it depends on what we deserve.

We have our own standards when it comes sa pagpili ng ating mamahalin, pero kapag pasok na ba sya sa standard mo masasabi mo na bang siya na ang “right person”? o kapag ba pasok ka na sa standard niya ay “right person” ka na? Pwedeng oo ang sagot. But another question is, do you deserve your standard?, baka naman desire mo lang pero di naman pala tayo deserving. Hmm 😞

Pero ang sagot ko sa tanong natin na “How to be the right person?” ay ito po ay hindi proseso na TAYO ang dapat trumabaho. There are many people who could say that we are the right person for them, pero tandaan na iisa lang ang mapapanindigan na sabihin yan hanggang huli, and it is your future partner. You’ll be the right person for that someone no matter who you are. And when it comes sa tanong na “how to be”, there’s also only ONE who could MADE you the right person, and it is the Lord and not ourselves. He will mold us to be the right person for the perfect partner whom He prepared for us. The one who could love us and accept us despite our flaws and limitations because God also mold his/her heart to be the right person for you.

So stop being busy thinking HOW TO BE THE RIGHT PERSON because it is God who will make you perfectly right for the perfect bride/groom whom you will marry in the future. JUST ALLOW THE LORD TO MADE YOU THE PERSON HE WANTS YOU TO BE and you will not just become the right person but also the right person who will DESERVE to have the RIGHT PERSON for you. 😉

Madalas mahirap pigilan ang luha, kapag Kristiyano ka, para bang bawal kang maging mahina. Dagdagan pa ng pinagsisikapan mong profession, sikolohista ka ngang tinurungan, bawal ka din maging mahina, shame on you kumbaga akapag simpleng sitwasyon di mo kinaya. That’s life in this world, iba iba yung paniniwala, yung iba, naniniwalang tamang gawin yung mga bagay na sinasabi lang sakanila ng ibang tao, yung iba naman, may sariling prinsipyo, walang pakialam kung ano yung sasabihin ng ibang tao. Dito sa lugar na to, you can never convince everyone to understand your situation. Honestly, ayoko nang magtago ng kahit ano sa sarili ko, hindi man nakikita ng lahat ng tao sa paligid ko, isa lang din naman ako sakanila na may sariling kadramahan sa buhay.hehe But I’m really thankful, kasi no doubt, undeniable, God is so great, He never fail to amaze me for every single moment of my life. ☺ Kahit na nakakaiyak, nakakatuwa din naman, kasi no matter how many times we find reason to cry, He always had His way to comfort us in a way that nobody else can.

When God leads you to fulfill His will in Your life

"I just want to take this time, mailabas ko lang. Hindi ko naman pinagmamalaki, pero for the very first time in my life, ngayon ko lang nagawa lahat ng sobrang effort na to. Na halos buong araw nalang wala akong pinalagpas na hindi mag review para sa board exam. Gusto ko ng assurance na makakapasa na talaga, but one thing I pray is hindi lang makapasa kundi mag TOP pa. I don’t know if I am already doing my best since then, that is the one thing I am not sure of, gusto kong laging mag consult kay Lord because I know He is the One Who led me in this career I am pursuing. So many times I tried to encourage myself na kaya ko, na gagawin ko yung best ko, but so many times din na sobrang na didissapoint ako sarili ko dahil sa mga limitations ko. I know I’m not that smart like the others, I accept the fact na natural nang maging mas mataas yung result ng performance nila saakin, basta I know in my my self that I am TRYING...I’m not just faithful but also doing something kasi yun ang word ni Lord saakin “Faith without action is dead”. So many disappointments in spite of effort and time that I spent in reviewing. Isa pa sa dilema ko, pansamantalang sinet aside ko muna ang ministry (isang parte sa buhay ko na tinawag ako ng Lord) at first, sobrang nagdadalawang isip ako kung bibitawan ko muna ba, I don’t know if it is part of His plan, and sa dumating yung point na yun na nga. Kailangan eh, yung tipong nasa review ka pero theres a part in your heart na asikasuhin padin ang KKB, nakakamiss, nakakalungkot na nga nakakaiyak pa, pano ba naman kasi pag makikita nila ko minsan nalang tas sasabihin ng iba na namimiss na nila ko, akala ata nila... bat ako hindi ba?! Haha. Kaso ang mas nakakapressure din is alam ng lahat. I know most of them will share their happiness KAPAG NAKAPASA NA KO. Haay... (ang saya non noh?)

Gusto kong makapasa para makabawi kay Mamhe, I know how much she wants me to pass, alam ko sya yung pinaka gustong makapasa ko. She deserves to have me in oath taking, kung yun na nga talaga... kung kaya ko na nga ba... kung iaallow ako ni Lord na makapasa, AT MAG TOP pa, I know that will be the greatest gift I will receive from the Lord for fulfilling this course, and the greatest gift I’m going to give to my whole family (ang napaka supportive kong family) I know it’s not too late to lift up this prayers to You. Simula pa naman po nung una, You're never too late nor too early because You always have Your PERFECT TIMING. Hindi man po mawawala ang kaba, at mga pagkakataon na mahihirapan ako, but ONE THING that will make me STILL is the LORD’s promise for me. Ang dami daming pumapasok sa isip kong mga negative pero lagi akong sinosoplak ni Lord, hehe. He never fails to give me courage when I feel so discouraged, He always builds me up when I feel down, He never let go of me for those nights that I am crying in prayer, and the sweetest thing is the Lord never get tired of reminding me that WE will do this together.

I pray now, not for any request about passing or putting my name in the TOP 10, but I pray now na Lord iready Nyo po ang puso ko na buong tanggapin ano man ang will Nyo dito sa moment ng buhay ko na to. Lord, that’s my desire, to pass and to be on TOP, but ALL I WANT to have is what You desire for me to have. Your will and not my will be done. Amen."

I posted this in private last time during my review days for the board exam, but now I'll post it publicly as the board exam was over. Last August 30 & 31, the day I took the board examination for psychometrician and the result was released last September 5 2016, and by His grace... I PASSED. To Him be all the GLORY.

If you're in the moment of doubting yourself, be sure about God

#JustSaying #DepencenceToGod #optimism

W H Y?

Problems, struggles, storms, and negative situations are too devastating to understand WHY God allow these things to happen to us. Sometimes we can't imagine ourselves that we are able to conquer and handle the situations we have. Hopelessly hoping that someday we will understand WHY.

“There are lot of things in this life you and I are never going to figure out no matter how long and hard we try” (kahit mag iiyak pa tayo katulad ni ate.hehe)

I just read it in the book of Managing Your Emotions by Joyce Meyer.

Dude, the question is not always WHY? Dahil marami pa tayong ibang "WH" questions.chos. hehe

The problem is not always the things you don't understand, sometimes, the real problem is your problem of not trying to understand it.

Parang ganito...?

Exactly. (pero ang ganda padin ni Kara diba?. haha) Eh kung sana ba ganyan ka padin kaganda kapag masyado ka ng naguguluhan sa mga bagay bagay sa buhay mo diba.

Kaso baka sa sobrang kagustuhan natin malaman kung "bakit" nangyayari ang mga bagay bagay sa buhay natin ay maging ganito na tayo kastress...

Wala ka ng mukang maiihaharap, buhok nalang. HAHAHA K.

What I want to emphasize here is that we don't need to know why "every thing" in our lives is happening, because we just simply can't. Period. Pero sabi ng Lord sa John 13:7 "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand" yun naman pala... later... so maghintay. hehe Kung ipipilit mo pang ipaglaban na gusto mong malaman ang lahat ng BAKIT sa buhay mo, sige sagutin mo muna kung BAKIT kulay BLUE ang langit, BAKIT BROWN out ang tawag kapag walang ilaw, BAKIT kulay VIOLET ang BLACK light, BAKIT GREEN and YELLOW ang kulay ng Pure GOLD at BAKIT kailangan pang hanapin ang X sa Math kung base sa pag ibig ay hindi na dapat pang binabalikan at hinahanap ang eX?!!!

O di mo masagot diba? Well you could say that it doesn't make sense to answers those kind of question, kasi hindi naman sya related sa sitwasyon mo sa buhay, (weh? di ka nakarelate dun sa huli?).

Okay yung may sense daw na "bakit". HIRIT PA TAYO. BAKIT?! ano bang masama sa kagustuhan kong maintindihan ang mga bagay bagay buhay ko?!!!

It's just simply because masakit yan sa ulo. Ang sakit mo sa ulo. hehe

Kailangan natin maintindihan at tanggapin ng buong puso at ng buong kaluluwa na

hindi lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay kaya nating maintindihan.

No matter how desperate we are, ACCEPT that you can't. It's beyond our capability. (nakakadown ba? hehe please don't get me wrong, hindi naman sa general yan bh3.haha)

The point is, if we don't stop asking those "WHYs", you will probably end up stressing yourself finding the answers to those unending questions.

WHY I made this blog is because, even I, was stuck-up asking these Lord BAKIT hindi ko nakuha yung course na gusto ko? Lord BAKIT hindi ako naging matalino? Lord BAKIT ang sakit? Lord BAKIT ang hirap? And nothing was wrong with those questions. What wrong is HOW we ask those questions dahil madalas ikaw nalang ang nagtatanong, ikaw pa ang may ganang magalit at may halo pang reklamo.

at may halo din palang palo. Hmm.

God is always willing to help us to understand everything WE NEED but not everything WE WANT, (wag maging spoiled Christian).

Maybe one of the reasons WHY He does not allow us to know WHY everything happens is because He doesn't want us to take all the burdens this world may bring. It's not always needed to ASK Him because most of the time, the best thing to do is to TRUST HIM :)

I won't assure you that reading this blog may lead you to understand WHY. But one thing I am sure is God allows you to read it, and maybe you know the reason WHY. haha

Maybe someday, you'll know me better you see me before

Kapag Hinudas Ka Ng Disciple Mo

Anonymous said: kuya pastor jade :( i need some advice po.. i am a lifegoup leader po and one of my disciple betrayed me.. as in, ilang buwan na pala niya akong niloko.. my nagawa po syang maraming bagay na lingid sa aking kaalaman at nong nabisto ay nagalit pa at umalis sa church.. im in pain right now.. parang dinurog ang puso ko. at parang hindi ko na gustong mag disciple pa. help po

Napakasakit talaga kapag pinagtaksilan ka ng isang taong sobrang pinahalagahan mo. Lalo na kung disciple mo pa ang siyang naging traydor sa'yo.

Hindi kasi biro ang pagbubuhos ng oras, lakas, at (aminin na natin) personal na pananalapi para mag-disciple. Sigurado akong malala ang hapdi na nararamdaman mo ngayon sa puso mo dahil malala din ang pagmamahal na tinanim mo sa buhay ng disciple mo.

Ewan ko ba. May mga disciple na hindi talaga marunong mag-appreciate. Hindi naman sa naghahanap ang disciplers ng palakpak o araw-araw na thank-you text. Pero sana man lang ‘wag gantihan ng mga disciples ng kasamaan ang kabutihan na ipinakita sa kanila ng leader nila. Ok fine sige sabihin na nating may mga leader na hindi karapat-dapat pasalamatan. Pero 'yung tratraydurin??? Tapos lalayasan pa ang church na may galit sa puso???

Siguro naman kahit katiting ay may nagawang mabuti ang discipler na puwedeng dahilan para pigilan ng disciple ang ambisyon niyang sundan ang yapak ni Hudas. Sa mga disciple na nagbabasa nito: hindi perpekto ang discipler ninyo. Pero tandaan ninyong hindi rin kayo perpekto. Kung nabwibwiset ka sa dicipler/pastor mo, sigurado akong mas maraming beses na siyang nabwiset sa immaturities mo pero 'di ka kasi nakikinig kaya umaabot kayo sa puntong hindi na nagiging healthy ang relationship n'yo. Aba'y sermon mode yata ako ngayon.

Hayy. Ganiyan talaga. Some things end ugly. And betrayal is one of the most hideous ways they do. Betrayal happens when a person puts his/her personal interests above relationships that SHOULD be important to him/her. I want to emphasize SHOULD because while there are relationships that are worth flushing in the toilet, there are certainly those that SHOULD be tended in the lush garden of love and forgiveness. Anu-anong mga relasyon 'yan? 'Yan 'yung klase ng mga relasyon na masasabi mong: 1. Hindi ko mararating ang narating ko ngayon kung hindi dahil sa relasyon namin ng taong 'yan. 2. Maraming magaganadang nagbago sa pagkatao ko dahil sa relasyon namin. 3. Malalim/mahaba na ang pinagsamahan namin para itapon ko pa ngayon. 4. Si Lord at pagmamahal/paglilingkod kay Lord ang nagbuklod sa amin kaya hindi ko ito susukuan. Shallow relationships naturally become forgettable over the passing of time. Pero kahit gaano pa ka-disposable ang ilang relasyon, walang trayduran please!

Sa mga disciple na nagbabasa nito, please pahalagahan ninyo ang discipler ninyo. Tao 'yan, hindi angel. Nagkakamali pa rin 'yan. Puwede mo i-rebuke kung nasa lugar ka. Sige lang mag-open ka ng mga hinaing mo in a respectful way. Eh paano kung ayaw niya makinig? May Diyos na handang pumulbos sa puso niyang hollow blocks. As for you, don’t rebel and betray. ‘Wag mong idadamay ang buong church in case gusto mo nang umalis.

Kung wala namang nagtatanong, bakit mo ipagkakalat sa iba ang mga negative na nakikita mo sa discipler mo? Hayaan mong sila na ang makakita noon sa discipler mo. 'Di mo kailangang i-broadcast dahil kung totoong nag-e-exist 'yang kapintasan na 'yan, makikita’t makikita 'yan ng ibang tao through their personal interactions with your discipler. Let them discover it for themselves dahil kapag sa'yo pa nanggaling at hindi nila nakita, maco-confirm ng madlang tao na naninira ka lang o bitter ka lang o sadyang maling mali ka lang talaga. Kapag naman nakita nila 'yung kapintasang nakikita mo rin na hindi mo sinabi sa kanila, eh di wow! Maco-confirm mong tama ka at hindi ka lang emosyon. Personally kasi, may mga tao sa church na nakikitaan ko ng mga bagay na kapintas-pintas based on my standards. Pero kapag nakakausap ko na ang ibang tao tungkol doon sa taong nakikitaan ko ng kapintasan, nagugulat ako kasi marami silang positive na nasasabi tungkol sa tao na 'yun. Sa ganiyang klase ng sitwasyon, sinusubukan kong makita ang mga positibo na 'yun kahit ang hirap hanapin minsan hehe! As much as possible, I suppress my observations of kapintasan toward other people. When I hear one good report about them, I magnify that one good report and diminish the importance of the kapintasans. Madalas kasi, pet peeves lang ang ugat ng kapintasan. Paki Goggle na lang “pet peeve” haba na nitong blog post masyado ‘pag dinefine ko pa hehe. So. Mabalik tayo sa'yo, Anonymous. You are right now in a position similar to Christ in Gethsemane. Cheek kissed by Judas, heart crushed by betrayal. Like Christ, fight on. This is a cross you have to bear now. But this will not kill you. Christ rose. You can rise, too. From the depths, from the dark and suffocating grave of temporary suffering. Rise. Friends come. Friends go. Some with sweet goodbyes, others with swashbuckling temerity to betray. The latter is human fallenness in the tradition of Lucifer, the first traitor. Ipagkatiwala mo kay Lord ang nagtaksil sa'yo. Don’t avenge. Vengeance is God’s prerogative. Ask God to help you forgive in His time (because it can be difficult, yes). Now look at the harvest field. Ang dami pang ibang puwedeng i-disciple 'no? Tara, focus tayo sa kanila :) Baka 'di na bumalik si Hudas.
