i just want to share what i have read yesterday from the Bible. haay, nothing truly beats the advice taken from His words..

 

Ecc. 3:1-14 A Time For Everything

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

 

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and time for peace.

 

What does the worker gain from his toil? i have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done frome beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That every man may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil-this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it, so men will revere him.

 

i know and i believe that God has better plans for me, for us. sometimes, what we want is not His best plan for us, so we are discoauraged, disappointed, hurt.. But you know what, God has already planned something for us, and that plan would be the best for us. sabe nga sa Col. 3:2 "Set your minds on things which are above" we should always be optimistic to the plans that God has for us. If God is for us, then who dares to be against us? (Rom 8:31b). aun, masaya mabuhay. walang kwenta ang buhay kung walang thrill and challenges. we need to taste everything what life can offer. we need to cry, we need to be hurt. why? because God is molding us to a best person that we can be. To live at our own potential. natutuwa ako sa mga ganto, pag me problema ako, umiiyak ka sa isang sulok taz walang nakakaintindi sayo. sige, binigyan ko ng time ung sarili ko magemote. taz when i talk to God, He will really tell you His answer. anggaleng talaga..

 

My biggest enemy is DISAPPOINTMENT. sino ba may gusto nun? pero sabe ni Lord, me panahon para diyan, we just need to trust in Him. oo, nasaktan tayo, parte un eh. kelangan lang naten talaga iaccept un. and move on AND be POSITIVE sa future. kasi we should live in God's favor! ayoko lang kasi ng mga negative sa paligid ko. ayoko ng may nagseself-pity, oo, be sad today, pero wag lagi. kasi you're missing a lot, God wants you to grow! if you let yourself stay on bitterness, naku. pano na tayo niyan db?

 

aun lang. so, i expect for greater things that'll come my way. i'll be receiving bountiful blessings! i know coz i believe in Him :)

 

*It poignantly revives your emotional and spiritual strength which greatly impacted your connection with the Lord." -Rivski

This book is really encouraging. It not only raises your level of thinking, it also renews your relationship with God. As a Christian, i have always grown in the teachings of the kindness and goodness of the Lord. i have served as a Song Leader in our Music Ministry in our satellite church, i attend Bible Studies, I go to church fellowships, i pray everyday, i read the Bible etc.

However, i had always been meek in a closed box. keeping my thoughts in pessimism. sometimes being an overly modest person affects you to think widely. You always settle to mediocrity, to what the status quo has posed around you.

But we are naturally born dreamers. Dont you often dream of living a more rewarding life? Don't you aspire for a better job, a happier home? Don't you always wish for more gratifying relationships with your family, friends or your special someone? we always think, wish, aspire for better things to happen in our lives, but we, ourselves, sometimes become our own discourager. because of settling just to what you think you can.

Your Best Life Now will answer to all these questions. It is a simple yet profound process to change the way you think about your life and help you accomplish what's truly important. It begins with these seven steps:
1. Enlarge your vision
2. Develop a health self-image
3. Discover the power of your thoughts and words
4. Let go of the PAST
5. Find strength through adversity
6. Live to give
7. Choose to be happy

i always read this book. because it always reminds me of how unfathomable the Lord's goodness is. It energizes your thinking, always enlarge your thinking. To not settle to mediocrity. to always believe and always have your TRUST, FAITH in God.

im a changed person now. i thank God for using Joel Osteen for writing this book. im planning to buy for myself because this book is truly recommended. especially to those who always feel depressed, who are stuck in pessimism, who harbors hatred and bitterness, and just to those who want God's blessings to continously pour on their lives.

SET YOUR MINDS ON THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE. Col 3:2
