..forgiveness is a process to prove and show love.. to perfect love too.. love your enemy sabi sa Bible..so the process is to forgive repeatedly everyday..one of the hardest, but that is the only way to please GOD and have inner peace..to forgive is freedom from sin and their sin toward us..the past days i need to forgive several people repeatedly..
.. mahirap din mag forgive if hindi naman sila nag ask ng forgiveness.. then yung iba contineously try to hurt you.. so ano gagawin? pause pray (pray that GOD will give strength to handle the situation and forgive, that they dont know what they are doing ) and hanap ng outlet para ilabas..
..i believe to those who are able to discern.. should be the one to understand and pray for the situation.. and be the first to forgive.. forgiveness is like loving.. it is given without condition.. just love.. just forgive... ganun... "hirap yan hehe"
.. mahirap and nakakapagod ang magalit... mas madali ang hindi..mas masarap ang feeling na laging happy and joyful.. pag galit hindi dapat mandamay ng tao.. dont satisfy the anger inside.. dont let or do something for others to stumble.. pray and discern what to do.. think long term not short term.. kaya dapat BE STILL.. sometimes people get mad bec. they dont get what they want..or you dont give them what they need... nagiging impatient sila that leads them to be mad... life is not like that.. there is always GOD's time for everything.. GOD's way not our way... what if si GOD ang put ng time limit or deadline sa lahat ng tao.. edi yari tayo .. Hell bagsak natin lahat.. kase hindi maantay ni GOD na mag repent tayo.. but again GOD has HIS way and HIS own time for everything..so trust GOD.. :D
.. GOD's way and GOD's time is always perfect .. :D
Love for enemies Luke 6:27-36
"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you."If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
..Elijah too feared... GOD meet his needs and restore him so that he could continue to serve..
fear is a phantom giant. drifting in through cracks in the floorboards or filtering down like a chilling mist, the fog called fear whisper omens of the unknown and the unseen. surrounding individuals in its binding, billowing robe, the creatures hisses, "what if?" "what if".. one blast of its awful breath transforms saints into atheists reversing a person's entire mind-set. its bite releases a paralyzing venom in its victim and it isn't long before doubt begins to dull vision.
to one who falls full weight on its attack, the creature displays no mercy. it falls full weight on its back and laughs with glee at its crippled plaything and circles for another savage assault. lurking in the shadows around every imaginable corner it threatens to poison your inner peace and outer poise. bully that it is, the creature relies on scare tactics and surprise attacks. it watches for your vulnerable moment then picks the lock that safeguards your security. once inside it strike quickly to transform spiritual muscle into mental mush. and the prognosis for recovery is neither bright nor cheery. ~ Tim La Haye
Henry David Thoreau wrote: nothing is much to be feared as fear..
what is GOD trying to tell Elijah? simply this, "Elijah, I'm not in the midst of it. What I actually want you to see is My power to judge. Elijah, I don't care what Jezebel wrote. I don't care what she said. I don't care what she's done in the past or what she'll do in the future. Be reminded that I am GOD of great power, and I can snuff them out right now if I want to."
.. the antidote for fear is to trust GOD ..
.. being born in a Christian family.. or being raised inside the church or being in the church for your whole life.. does not make anyone higher or better than any other sinners in this world... we are all sinners.. so we all have to forgive the sins, transgressions and shortcomings of the people around us... :D
how many people do we need to forgive everyday?? in my case surprisingly not just one..sometimes a day there's 2.. 3.. 4..or a person many times need to be forgiven in a day.. am I just sensitive? or nagkataon im just put to test.. my whole life... i think i know GOD is teaching me to love perfectly .. so HE always put me sa mga mala-drama and challenging life..so that ill learn to forgive the seem impossible to forgive or seem unforgivable situations and people in life.. :D
.. hmm for me as of now.. there is 2 types of forgiveness... 1st forgiveness labas sa ilong.. what is that? sinasabi nila forgiven na pero sa heart hindi pa.. 2nd true forgiveness.. forgiving wholeheartedly despite of.. :D meron pa ba? may naisip pa ba kayo?? :"D hehehe
.. if you find it hard to forgive others.. have your quiet time with GOD.. intimate talk .. be true to oneself .. after all GOD knows all .. who can lie.. reflect .. who really are you .. what are the things you did that seem to displease GOD .. dissect your life .. everything that you do, did and does .. your heart .. and what do you think GOD thinks of you and sees you .. then listen to HIM .. after you'll realize what a sinner you are .. super nakakahiya kay GOD .. shame on us!
..but GOD is merciful and forgiving .. isipin mo despite ganun tayo kasama still HE is faithful to us .. HE never forsake us .. and us being sinner makes HIM more Holy .. !!
..guilty feeling? grabe if na-feel mo yan mahihiya and mapapaiyak ka talaga.. how could we not forgive sinners like us.. if si GOD Holy yet forgives us.. even we dont really deserve it... eh tayo sinner na nga hindi pa ba natin ma-forgive yung kapwa sinner natin eh wala naman tayo pinag kaiba sakanila... and think... we too sin.. maybe consequencce ng sin natin yung sin ng iba ..diba?? ;D
.. what is true repentance .. turning back from it (sin) ..what is true ask of forgiveness .. effort of mending broken relationships .. not just by words but by actions .. with love, faith, hope, patience and GOD's grace ..
