Fathers Day!

Father: a role model who gives the gifts of guidance and wisdom while learning how to stretch his ability to love beyond what he knew was possible. - dictionary

Daddy, Papa, Itay , Ama, Dad, Erpat what else? for those Fathers out there, we are so proud of you! There's no greater love by a father to his children. The provider, guardian, adviser, friend and comforter. How he struggles just to watch us sleep and to make sure that we are always away from harm. Just think of those days when we're kids, he used to play and laugh with us even though all of the stories we're telling doesn't make any sense to them, but they are listening. I can still remember telling my father about my ambition to become a super hero someday, I used to watch Bioman and Maskrider Black way back then. I want to be like them, I want to ride a motorcycle just like a real super hero trying to save the earth and guess what? A day before my birthday, my father bought me a bike as a birthday present with a note "for the future superhero of the world!" I can't explain the joy in my heart but one thing I didn't notice, that He is more merrier than me looking at me doing some crazy stuff trying to become one of the savior of the earth. He will do everything just to make us happy, if he can only provide everything to us.

Just like our Heavenly father He will do everything for us, He gave His only begotten son for us to be saved - John 3:16. But most of us don't appreciate that kind of love from our Father, the unconditional love he gave. Just like me before. I didn't care for his feelings because I have the things that makes me happy and I don't even care to give thanks and tell him how much I love him. Life doesn't come with an instruction book; that's why we have fathers. They want us to walk in the right path of our life's journey. Just seeing him handle our family and working so hard just to finance our needs and studies; and also most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother. I witnessed how my father loved my mom, how he comfort her caress her. Being a father is not easy, one day; hopefully, sooner I will become a father also and I want to be just like him . So, just want to let the whole world know how grateful I am to have a father like you. Happy fathers day Pa.

DESTINY OR CHOICE?

"All share a common destiny–the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them." Ecclesiastes 9:2

Many of us is asking is it our destiny?, or it was just my wrong decision? A question many of us are trying to figure out. Are we really meant for each other? Why we encounter bad things when we are doing good? I used to asked the same questions that are playing on your mind.

I just want to tell you that we cannot comprehend and grasp the wisdom of our Creator.

”And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.

We have one destiny to live in this world but the only choice is in us whether to follow Him or not. Every decisions we make are subject to many consequences.
Our choice is the most common factor that affects our lives because we believe in our own understanding. We believe that we can make it on our own. I don’t need anybody, but I want to tell you the truth that people need the LORD. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14. Tragedy happens to our lives country and family, but God is asking us to be humble and seek Him. What will be your actions will lead to your success or fall. In this verse try to meditate " We may throw the dice, but the LORD determines how they fall." - Proverbs 16:33.
Fate they say is uncontrollable things, but God allow things to happen even to His children. ”A person who has an easy life has no appreciation for misfortune. He thinks it is the fate of those who slip up." - Job 12 : 5

I just want you to remember the life of our beloved Job. Yes, he encountered the very worst of life nothing was left for him, even his true friends persecuted him asking him to repent for his sin. He allow bad things to happen in order for us to come to Him to remind us and to talk to Him. “Hey my son I will never leave you nor forsake you and I love you”, before the world began you are the only thing that matters to HIM.

One of my favorite great hero in the Bible is Joseph the dreamer who’s destiny is to become the governor of Egypt and made a choice to follow God’s will so that the fulfillment of God’s plan will come to a fulfillment.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.Jeremiah 29:11 Remember this always my friend.

BROKEN STRING

You can't play a broken string and you can't feel anything.It can't produce a good sound or melody once there is a broken string. The reason for that untuned sound is the incomplete set of string, it works as a set or a group. Once the other string is untuned or broken it will give you a very disgusting sound and its not a melody or a music anymore. Its a noise already and its not very pleasant to the ear. Every string has its own purpose and tone, the 6th string cant produce a sound like the 2nd string. Therefore, everyone is important. The oneness and cooperation of each string is important and badly needed in order to produce a heavenly melody. In playing and listening to music you must have a heart, and adopt the ambiance of the song. A musician can determine if there is something wrong with his instrument or when it is untuned,A musician has a sensitive hearing ability, and right away he will fix that broken string and play a lovely melody again.

BE STILL

When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm.Father You are King over the floods and I will be still know You are God.Hide me now under Your wings, cover me within Your mighty hands. What a great comfort and assurance we have in His side. There a lot of people struggling and running away from their fears and waves of problems.This still means comes from the Hebrew term raphah. Paul encourages us to reflect on what God can do in the face of what we are unable to do.Let just face it that we are finite and God is infinite. We must be like children willing to humble ourselves and ask His protection and comfort in times of needs. He will never leave us nor forsake us that's a promise that we need to claim.We need also to practice our faith and trust.You don't have to worry for the future for the future will worry for itself. Even the world will come to an end and the stars falls from the sky, just be still and let Him show you what he can do for you. Know that he is God!He is our God. He is the ruler of kingdoms of this earth and the all-powerful Creator of the Universe. Be still. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
