Put it down or better, cast it on Him

 

Every morning I visit my favorite FB pages and saved posts that I found helpful and I will share the whole day. Yung mga posts that I think are wrong, I just ignore. Those that are helpful, I share. Usually about Christianity, conservatism, or families and mga paborito kong i-sharedpost. 

This morning, ilang beses kong nakita ang paksang ito - kahit ang isang basong tubig na magaan ay bumibigat at nakangangalay kapag hinawakan mo nang hindi binibitawan. 

You probably feel you can hold it forever because you're strong. It is lightweight so no biggy. But can you endure? 

I will bet my bottom dollar na hindi mo iyan mahahawakan continuously for 24 hours. I am sure most won't be able to hold it for 1 hour straight but I am being generous and put it at 24 hours. Magaan pero after awhile, nakangangalay. 

If we can't hold 1 glass of water continuously without putting it down, why did we think we can hold and carry all our problems in life on our own? Siguro feeling mo magaan lang ang problema but sa dami ng ating kinahaharap na pagsubok, may cumulative effects and if we don't learn to put "our glass" down, we'll be overwhelmed. 

This does not mean na tayo ay maging iresponsable at takbuhan ang problema at hayaang natin ang mga konsekwensiya. It means na mayroong mas magandang paglalagyan ng mga ito:

1 Peter 5:6-7 [6]Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, [7]casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

Ang tamang lugar para paglagakan ng problema ay sa kamay ng Diyos. Sabi nga ng kanta, "What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear, What a privilege to carry, Everything to God in prayer. O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry, Everything to God in prayer."

Maraming Cristianong nagkakaroon ng mental health problems because they're carrying loads they're not meant to carry. Let God be God and give Him your problems. You're not meant to solve all of them. 

Problems are meant to teach us to rely on Him. What we cannot solve on our are His to solve. 

We are limited but He isn't. So ask for the wisdom to face the problems. 

Huwag nating solohin ang buhay. Journey with friends are joyous because you share it with people you love. Make sure to share your journey of life with God. 

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

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.)
