Point of View: MARRIAGE


"When you're gone, will I loose control?" Answer: YES!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Falling in love is the uncontrollable emotion our soul could feel. You cannot fight nor act against it. It is free. Though sometimes our emotions could confuse us. Do we really love this person? Or do we just want their company? Something that is new, someone who drives us crazy once again. But after sometime the euphoria is gone. Sometimes our feelings fall to a particular person out of desperation or pressure from family and friends only to find out in the end that we were just going with the pressure's flow.

There are many reasons as to why we fall in love with somebody, she/he might shower us the attention that we crave for a long time. Many reasons that we could think of. Things that could make us happy and feel the love. But then somehow along the line, there is something missing where you wonder what is it. No one could answer that feeling even yourself. You are happy yet still looking for an answer. If you look though yourself that's when you found out that the "feeling" have deceived us. But then it was too late or if you're lucky or wise enough to wait~ you'll discover it is just the right time. This is the reason why we should examine ourselves first before going to a next chapter of life - giving the bond forever to someone - getting married!

Getting married is not like the Hollywood stars, it is a Forever Commitment! For me there is no divorce nor separation. Besides according to  Matthew 5:31-32, "Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorce woman commits adultery". Divorce is against the law of God. Moreover, Matthew 19:6 explains marriage in a simple form, "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Meaning marriage is a forever bond.

To summarize it altogether, when getting married the main reason should be LOVE! Carefully examine yourselves, as I've mentioned earlier feelings and social pressure deceives you. The moment you ask God to give you the Bond of Holy Matrimony, it's not only that the flesh are joined together but your souls as well. Will you stay with the same person forever no matter what the situation will lead you? If your answer is a strong YES then go ahead BUT if your answer is MAYBE ~ well, you have a soul searching ahead of you. Don't RUSH to get married! As my Mom always say, Marriage is a no return, no exchange deal. Learn to trust your soul, not with somebody else's. I think it's true. Better yet, ask for God's guidance if that person is the right one for you.

(Well, this is a reminder for myself as well). The Best of Luck to all single ladies out there! God bless.

A Prayer for my Future Husband

Lord God our Father, your Word declares that if I delight myself in You
if I enjoy and seek Your pleasure above mine
—You'll give me the desires of my heart (Psalm 37:4). 
Desiring a husband is neither evil nor selfish because marriage is honourable (Hebrews 13:4). 
At the beginning of creation, You proclaimed, 
"It is not good that man should be alone" 
and then you created Eve to be a suitable partner for Adam (Genesis 2:18). 
In the name of Jesus, I ask that You would protect the husband
—a suitable partner—
You have chosen for me. 
Because the covenant of marriage is sacred (Mark 10:9), 
I ask for a man of God. 
Please give me a husband whose love for me is only outmatched by his love for you; 
a man who will cherish me and build me up (Proverbs 31:28); 
a man who will honour me (I Peter 3:7) 
and our marriage vows; 
a man who will be a good father and provider; 
a man whom I will be attracted to physically, emotionally, and spiritually; 
a man who will love me as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). 
Keep me from attaching myself to another man out of desperation. 
I will not settle for a relationship that's second best, convenient, 
or one that feeds my insecurities. 
Guard my purity and give me the patience to wait. 
And when I meet him, confirm to me that he is the one. 
Release from me the baggage of past relationships, 
and prepare me for the man You have chosen to be my husband. 
Free me from any hindrances to a healthy and Godly marriage: 
insecurities, habitual sins, selfishness, and emotional hurts. 
Dispel my unrealistic expectations that set me up for disappointment. 
I place my trust in You rather than my partner. 
In this period of waiting, I will look to You alone to be my companion 
and best friend. 
You are the one who redeems my life from the pit, 
who crowns me with love and compassion, 
who satisfies my desires with good things (Psalm 103:4-5). 
I will not be anxious, but as I present my requests to you, 
flood me with the peace that surpasses all understanding 
so my heart and my mind are guarded in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6,7). 
In this request, I commit myself to trust You and do good, 
to dwell in the land and feed on Your faithfulness. 
I commit my way to You and trust that You will bring it to pass (Psalm 37:35). 
This I ask in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
Amen.

Where do you want to be? HEAVEN or hell?

This a message that is worth sharing for, our world have been corrupted by the devil's hands! Don't let him go near you! Repent! Be near JESUS! Go home to Jesus! And pray for God's salvation. 


START NOW before it's too late! This is a message from God. Believe in HIM! Exalt Him. Praise Him. 


Where do you want to be? A life full of hatred and pain that will never stop? Or a life with Jesus that is full of love, peace and joy?  Our bodies dies but our souls live forever. You choose, where would you wanna be forever?


I want to be with Jesus in Heaven for all eternity! How about you? Jesus is the way, the truth and life. He loves us and if you don't know him yet, he is waiting for you to invite Him in your heart. Whatever you've done in your life or others did to you, He accepts you as you are ~ He knows exactly who you are. In Luke 12:7 say "Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows". He'll open His arms for you. We are His children and He wants us to be saved. I'm not writing this on my own thoughts, a holy spirit is just giving me words to type in. Unbelievable but it's true. He wants to save us and right now He is asking for you to come back to Him. Living in this world is just a piece of our life, forever life awaits and the only way to go there is Him. He said, don't seek perfection for perfection belongs to heaven not on earth. Choose the way of life, the way of truth. Love God and learn to love each other even your enemies. He sent His only son Jesus to save us. He died on the cross to pay for our sins; see, for God so love the world he sacrifices his Son Jesus because God wants us to live forever with Him in our real home, "heaven". Don't waste your time, don't wait before it's too late. Seek Jesus. Seek God our Father. Read and listen to all His words and promises. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Don't be afraid. Jesus is just a prayer away.


In Matthew 7:13-14 says “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."


Luke 13:22-24 describes the narrow way, "And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?”
And He said to them, 24 
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able." 


I want to share this videos I've discovered on youtube while I was searching for answers that no one couldn't answer on the way that I wanted. Maybe God directed me to go to this videos as they just came suddenly right into my face.


I want to be a living testimony of God and right now I'm still waiting for him to instruct me on how can I deliver His message. Right now I'm writing a blog and poems about Jesus. Maybe that's how He wanted me to do.


"A Glimpse of HEAVEN"








"The torment of hell"






Where do you want to be? HEAVEN or hell?

A Precious Gem

A Precious gem! Did you first thought about diamonds? Or maybe the expensive collectible stones? Some people may perceive that this are the precious gems but that's not what I am talking about. I am talking about the real gem ~ MIRACLES!

I was talking to my aunt who is my Mother's cousin and although I'm a few months older than her, she is already pregnant with her first baby. Before her pregnancy, she was diagnosed with endometriosis and months later she was again diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease and tubo-ovarian abscess. She told me she was afraid and concerned on how will she ever conceive if she had these diseases. While she was waiting for her surgical procedure at the admitting room, she was crying and praying that God will give her a chance to be a mother despite her situation. Suddenly, a nurse gave her an El Shaddai hanky. The nurse whispered her to pray the prayer written on the handkerchief, Psalm 91, the powerful prayer of protection. So she prayed with all her faith in God. Faith in God is a great act of trust saying that we trust God to do His will. The surgeons removed her one ovary as they might infect the other ovary. She had pelvic laparascopy  and in her case if she couldn't get pregnant a year to 15 months she could only get pregnant via IVF but she doesn't know that fact. She prayed the novena to Mother Mary every night. Two months (or so) after her surgery, we talked over the phone telling me she was 10 weeks pregnant! Now she is six months pregnant!

A miracle indeed! Truly this is a real gem!

Psalm 91



Whoever goes to the Lord for safety
Whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty
Can say to Him, “You are my defender and my protector
you are my God in you I trust.”
He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases
He will cover you with His wings
You will be safe in His care
His faithfulness will protect and defend you
You need not fear any danger at night nor sudden attacks during the day,
nor the plagues that strike in the dark nor the evil that kills in daylight.
A thousand may fall dead beside you, ten thousand all around you
But you will not be harmed.
You will look and see how the wicked are punished.
You have made the Lord your Defender, the Most High your Protector
and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home.
God will put His angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go,
They will hold you up with their hands to keep you from hurting your feet on the stones.
You will trample down lions and snakes, pierce lions and poisonous snakes.
God says, I will save those who love me
And will protect those who acknowledge me as Lord
When they come to me I will answer them,
When they are in trouble, I will be with them,
I will rescue them and honor them
I will reward them with long life I will save them. 
Amen.

Sentiments

Instruction: Listen to the song while reading the poem. 


When LOVE Hurts

Nights of crying
Days of weeping
Tears won't stop flowing
Heart beats bitterly fast
Breathe..... 
Well, I can't just breathe!

The thoughts of you with her
Caressing her with your tender touch
Kissing her with your passionate lips
Loving her like a love song 
Like Selena Gomez's song.

Thinking your future with her,
Your whole family and friends
Just adores her!
You even can't live without her
That's when love hurts the most.

I guess some women are lucky
Even without trying 
They can have all they wanted
The love!
The man!
Everything!
Is like a Mida's touch.

Love is wonderful
Yet the deadliest thing 
I have ever felt in my whole life.
The pain won't leave me alone.
It's like a ghost that follows me through the dark
Like a nightmare in my sleep
And a monster under my bed!

How will the heart mend?
When it's broken?
When it's been betrayed
When it is afraid to Love Again?
Where is the Power of Love?
When HURT pierced my Heart with Sorrow?

Life is Too Short Too Waste (Take Control of Your Life)

This life is but for a moment - a blink of an eye - compared to the eternal timeframe that is operating up in heaven. We will spend the rest of eternity with God once we enter into heaven.

Only God knows what is best for us on all matters - we do not! Only God's knowledge and wisdom is perfect in all matters - ours is not! Only God knows what we will be best at in this life - we do not! Only God knows who our true soulmate should be in this life - we do not!

And the only way to get God's perfect protection and perfect guidance in our life is to fully surrender our entire life over to Him and let Him place us in His perfect will for our life.

Reflection:

Ask yourself, do you want to call all of your own shots and do what you want to do in this life? Or do you want to go with God's perfect will for your life?

The Best Solution:

That it really will be "worth your while" to fully surrender your entire life over to God the Father, let Him place you in His perfect will for your life - and then do the best job you can on whatever He calls you to do for Him on a daily basis with whatever time you still have left down here on earth.*

Happy Birthday!





Another year is about to end and yet another year will come that I'll have to embrace. On July 5th, I will be celebrating once again my existence on earth. My life is quite a ride I must say ~ some ride made me meltdown that I've questioned my God and my existence, some have made me laugh, one important ride made me stand up over the bumps and big mountains that came my way. This ride brings lessons to be learned. It came over and over again until I get the message it's trying to imply. A ride that made a significant impact in my life. It made me decide if I'll move on and become better or to stay and keep looking at the past. The second choice is the easiest choice but you won't go anywhere. And one ride keeps me on dreaming about my present and future. There's a motto for this ride it says,  "I Can DO Anything!" and "Even the word impossible say im-possible!"



On this one fine Sunday afternoon I was contemplating about my accomplishments from the past few months. Did I grow? Did I become better as a person and as a woman? Did I get all my list done? Did I become more passionate about the things and people around me? All of these questions kept popping on my head. Suddenly I stopped. I was thinking maybe I became so hard on myself that out of fear I turned my back on how to accept the good things that came my way. The pressure I've put on myself got me out of reach. Or maybe I was just thinking too much and forgot how to have fun! Fun? Yes, this is what I needed to embrace more.  


I went to church this morning with my thoughts flying again... As if they were flying for few years now, it might seem funny but this morning I came to realize I have to do something right for myself. I've realized I have to forgive whatever it is that's keeping me in the dark. I needed to go out of my shell. I've been hiding here for quite a while now. It's still a good thin because I've come to realize these things before I become weirder and older. Still funny, huh? And you know what more I've realized? That God is everything. It's not the material things, accomplishments or the man that I truly love who can make me happy and content but it is how I know and love myself. It's hard to do this if the soul is wandering. That's why a touch from God have helped me to accept the things that's done and close the door behind me and to embrace the present. To open a new door with new promises. On this wonderful Sunday, God have helped me see many beautiful things I've refused to embrace and somehow helped me to eagerly accept today's wonderful promises.

Happy Birthday to Myself! Keep rockin' and fabulous! May I have more birthdays to come, a good health and God bless me always. Guide me and please make my wishes and prayers come true dear God. Thank you for another wonderful and blessed year!



The Open Door

Something to reflect after a gloomy life's unexpected circumstances.
