Humble Beginnings

-

Every successful end always starts with a humble beginning. I choose to begin my new journey with Christ and end my journey with Christ. Every breath I take, every step I make and every second of my life that Christ has granted me belongs to him. Growing up in a Catholic home, never have I ever found myself contented with weekly mandatory masses. Going through the traditions my elders throughout the year and at the end of the day, I am still myself. Being complacent with the sins I do, abusing my body and doing things that God has forbidden me, thinking that a confession could cleanse my soul by confessing my sins to another sinner himself, I was driven into a spiral of self delusion to the point I had convinced myself to be satisfied yet, was abominable in God's eyes. Not even an inch of my spirit has budged. 

This is not an attack to any church or religion but a mere warning that salvation is ONLY found in Christ and in him alone.

Fully accepting Christ into my own heart, I became born again, a new creation. With the spirit of conviction, I can no longer continue to partake in my sins that I use to do everyday.

 I am privileged in him giving me the authority to be a part of his kingdom. Fleshly people fight in the flesh but God has appointed me to fight my battles spiritually. 

This is just the beginning and I am humbled how God works through his people, I am a quiet and shy person but he made all things possible for his own glory. Praise the King of kings the Lord of lords Jesus Christ. May his name be glorified further.

    John 15:4-5, 8 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

    Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

A Grandmother's Grieving Heart

 Heavenly Father, Kayo po ang may hawak ng lahat. Mula sa kapanganakan namin at sa mga salita na sinasabi namin.  I went down to cook lugao this 2AM because I was not feeling well. Suddenly I heard footsteps — it was my lola.  I politely told her to taste my meal despite full of spices(siling labuyo) as a common courtesy with a caution that it was spicy since she was not a fan of those. She politely declined. The wee hours of the morning, I was dragged to her room — her heart aches, informed me of her struggles: my uncle who sleeps with an estranged and wed person who has kids but sleeps under our roof, and another uncle who left because "inaalila daw siya" and our kasambahay who babbles and spills lies to tailor her own disposition, she was left in tears.  Am I a bad person? — Lola muttered.. A quick jolt entered my mind who was a living example for our household.  Is mom a bad person? At this point she is trying her best to spew her merits to avoid the topic w...

The Calling

It was a sunny afternoon when a prayer has been granted by the LORD . Walking my way through and wanting to turn back filled with thoughts that this could be my last day on earth, by His grace, allowed this to happen. Another door was waiting for me. The place where the LORD has lead me to preach the gospel; the place where I saw someone holding a tarpaulin with a John 3:16 verse a few months back.  While proclaiming the gospel, it felt like the Holy Spirit was talking with my only contribution: nervous and fearful while constantly shaking.  The place was semi-barren but yet the parking lot behind me was constantly being filled in-and-out. There was one soul by the bus stop who had witnessed everything. May his soul be filled with the Holy Spirit.  Another prayer was granted when I prayed that the LORD would not lead me to hard testing and to deliver me from such people. On my way home I could feel the sun thinking that the LORD had   beamed a bright smile — from fe...

 LORD, I thank you for the provision. You never lack.  I am the one who steered away from you and I only went back to you when I needed you the most. I have been complaining for the physical pains I have experienced for the past months foolishly fulfilling my own desires and going through my way. The bigger cancer was ignored, the cancer in my spirit. Thank you for your mercy that I am still here typing this. Help me endure Father God.  Today, I had gone out with my friend in gaming, David P. We went out to UP oblation only to see that it was closed. We sat nearby an available bench, a bit isolated. He was downcast due to his recent breakup. I did not know how to to open up but the LORD knew. The gospel was given to one of the closest person I have been close with ever since we have met (04/07/2025). There were some questions that was answered that I MYSELF cannot even answer unless the power of the LORD intervened. Have mercy on this lost soul Father God.
