Thank You you for not changing Your mind
I wanted to live holy for God. I really do. All the time. Yet like Paul in Romans 7, I find that I cannot do it on my own power. My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. There are things I wanted to do but I can't and there are things I don't want to do but I keep on doing them. No wonder Paul feels wretched because I know I do.
But thank be to God that He doesn't give up on me!
Maraming lumamig, maraming pumuna at maraming tumalikod yet God is still there, listening and providing. I cannot describe the beauty of His grace.
Thank God that He isn't like most people I know - madaling magsawa at madaling sumuko. They all cheer for you until you disappoint them and then they're gone. Sabi ng mga Tagalog, mabilis pa sa alas singko.
I have moments and areas of weakness (read: area of sins) but His grace holds on, calling, beckoning me to come back. I am sure you have similar experiences.
In a throwaway world where people are routinely used and discarded, it is refreshing that God keeps us even in our weakness. He didn't give up. Sure, He disciplines us, but not to drive us away but to correct our errors and shows us the difference obeying Him makes. His discipline is a graphic illustration of demonstrating what a life without Him looks like. I don't want that life.
Thank you Lord for seeing something (or Someone, hint: union with Christ) that others didn't see. You see value where others see nothing.
Thank you very much.
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.)
