There is always something

-
Going through the past days with challenges and riddled with guilt, I find myself stumbling in faith from every corner here and there but truly God is good and faithful that he provides me with my spiritual needs. 

It was a sunny Wednesday morning when I decided to do my laundry. After loading my clothes inside the washing machine, I decided to do some groceries. Strolling towards our nearest 99 cents store, I then saw a destitute by the bus stop mumbling to herself. 

Bus Stop

I then approached her with a formal greeting to which she gleamed a smile with exaggeration saying hello. Handing her the goodies she then thanked me while brandishing her excessive smile. The Lord is so good that I have ministered again to the people in need. 

After doing my groceries in the 99 cents store, I then encountered Roy, the same homeless person I have encountered a month ago. He was happy to see me a second time to which I gave him a bible. Waiting at the bus stop, I slightly glanced to his direction to which I see him reading the scripture. I could not explain how I feel, but when God's Word is proclaimed, there is a place in my heart that seems to be filled with bliss.

Roy.

2 days later, I was walking through the same street when I encountered one of the bibles with neatly sliced pages. I could only think of one thing that they used it for.






A little grief-stricken, God reminded me of 1 Cor 15:58. That his works will never be in vain, the seed has been planted, may the Lord have mercy on hearts to those who are in need.

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.
