I'm sorry you don't like me

 

Sawa na akong mabuhay para sa aprubal ng ibang tao. Kung mayroon man akong natutunan ay ang mga tao ay tila mga batang nagpapatugtog ng instrumento ang as long as sumasayaw ka ayon sa kanilang kumpas, they will like you. Ngunit sa sandaling magkaroon ka ng sariling kumpas, they will turn on you.

This is true for believers and unbelievers alike. 

And I don't like it. 

I don't like playing to other people's beat because of the threat of being unloved. E di wag. I thank God for people who loves me and will love me for being me. Hindi dahil kaya akong imanipulate o dahil may nakukuha sa akin. 

I am through being used in other people's games. I am quitting the game. 

I will just watch you destroy each other. 

If we're not aligned, it is okay. Maybe someday we will be. 

If you're yet to be healed kung ano man ang iyong pinagdaraanan, work on yourself first. Wala akong balak maging shock absorber ng anumang batong pinupukpok mo sa iyong ulo. There has to be a time when you realize that actions have consequences at hindi mo ito maipapasa sa iba. 

I am setting a boundary. Paul says as much as it depends on us, let us pursue peace with all men. I am defining the parameters that determine what is worth pursuing peace and what is worth letting go. I am no Messiah and there is a limit to what I can absorb before I become bitter at ayaw kong ma-contaminate to the point na ako mismo ay sumuko sa spiritual life. Maybe others will be able to help you. 

Maybe we're growing in different directions and that is okay. Let's support each other's growth. 

It is okay if you dislike me. I don't have to dislike you. But I don't have to like you either. I can love you without liking or disliking you. I do so out of obedience to Christ: love one another. 

I will help you if you need me. But don't bother inviting me for supper. I won't come. 

I will be there if you need shoulders to cry one. But don't reserve a chair for me in your tables. 

I will love you from a distance. I cannot afford to be pulled to your dramas and toxicity. I am not strong enough for it. I am afraid I might forget I am a son of God by faith in Christ and act like a son of the devil. So forgive me if I keep my distance. 

I am not courting your approval. I am only seeking One's. 

Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktrina.

(Kung gusto ninyo ng karagdagang impormasyon, bisitahin ninyo kami. May pagtitipon kami sa Dahat, kada Linggo, kada 1:00-3:00 pm. Sana manampalataya kayo at kita-kita tayo.

Isang mahalagang paalala: ang mga blogs na ito ay personal kong opinyon at eksposisyon; hindi ito opisyal na pananaw ng Partido Christian Bible Church. Kung nais ninyong malaman ang kanilang opisyal na posisyun, magtanong kayo sa mga matanda ng simbahan. Ang Nieto Bible Page ay isang hiwalay na ministri mula sa PCBC at independiyente rito. Nakikipagtipon ako sa PCBC, pero may personal akong kumbiksiyon sa mga bagay. Bagama't miyembro (muli) ako ng teaching and ruling leadership ng PCBC, anumang mabasa ninyo rito ay hiwalay sa kanila. Anumang nasusulat ay aking pananagutan. 

Kung nakatulong sa inyo ang mga blogs na ito, mangyaring pasubscribe at pashare sa iba. Ibahagi natin at ikalat ang mga Salita ni Cristo at ang libreng biyaya ng Diyos sa lahat ng dakong Filipino ay lenggwahe. Salamat po.)
