LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL....AFTER ALL


Life is beautiful....the wonderful sun rises,a new day bursts with loving family,cheerful friends,don't they make life Beautiful? Amidst of the crisis,wars,corruption and chaos happening around..still life is beautiful.
What an amazing life we have,seeing mountains,hills,and seas free from sorrows and miseries,in a world full of mysteries.
Watching the kids playing and laughing around makes the world go round and merry,isn't it?
After all,we are living in the world filled with beauties,God created them for us to appreciate life....may it be good or bad we still have to appreciate life as it is.
Let me tell you about Life through the pictures posted down...let them do the talking..




















No matter how are we going to shield ourselves from the ugliness of reality,still God makes our life Beautiful.
No one knows why we were brought to life and why how it is became to be.
Its a question everyone asks One another.
Life is like a biotech as most people say as I would too.
It has its ups and downs.
You may like your life at one moment and hated it next.
You have to live life as it was given to you and Live it as he gave it to you.
Don't try and change the future or the past that's something that you can't choose.
Life is to learn how to deal with it.

GOD USES ORDINARY PEOPLE-DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS



Most men pray for power,the strength to do things.Most men pray for money, the happiness to buy anything,but few people pray for education, the ability to learn something.
My earliest encounter with the world of learning comes from my parents.In a home that I am living in,apparent (of)poverty is clearly evident that getting a college diploma is hopelessly impossible.
I never dreamed of studying at all which apathy and frustrations poisoned my interest,but instead I inspired myself with courage to seek job locally and internationally.Unluckily,adversity came to me for a year which I can't get a job.Being jobless for 1 year was wretchedly deficient for me.
Thanks to my missionary friends who devotedly prayed and showing exalted influenced that purposely driven me to study again.
The Lord had seen my strong desire to obtain a college degree,so as He secretly performed miracles in my life that I could imagine.He uses ordinary people with extraordinary talents who surety allowed themselves to be of used by God for my academic needs.
Compendium of thoughts coming from my benefactors are (the) words that well lived,written to my heart that will serves as guideposts and road maps in my travels through highways and byways.
I want to mention virtually the following persons who endlessly indefatigable supported me..my benefactors:
1. Mr. & Mrs.Paul Lackey- They were American Frontier Missionaries who opened the windows of opportunity for me to study in a University.Their helped was truly a great opener for me.Hope I can still be in contact with them.
2. Ma'am Maria Lee - (A well-educated and a woman of substance)...thank you so much for the big amount that you have had contributed,that made me once in a while the richest student in school.Your respond to my plead was a perfect timing while I was in the midst of the quicksand of distressed monetarily.
3.Pastor Robert Wong - I knew you were in the valley of decision's as to whether you'd help me or not but the Lord had sent His answered through your prayers.You were like a father to me which your dedication to serve God brings a vibrant cadence in your heart.
4.Elder Robert Quillin - Your presence and words of advise was measured in lyrical phrases that brought assurance and inspiration.
These amazing people didn't worry about the financial they had shared and who gets the credits but stirred my emotions to embellish in writing them here.It's practically rare to find persons like them, that is why my words of gratitude embedded with maxims of praises.
I thank the good Lord for sending these extraordinary people without them I won't be where I am today.

DO GOOD ANYWAY



DO GOOD ANYWAY
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
Love then anyway.

If you do good,people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives
Do good anyway.

If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shut down by the smallest people with the smallest minds
Think big anyway.

People favour underdogs but follow only top dogs
Fight for some underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you've got and you'll get kicked in the teeth
Give the world you've got anyway.
(author unknown)


I was touched and moved by this sayings or poem or whatever you may call this...I had read this kind of writing into a different version but this one really caught me unmoved.
Doing good to the world is the best thing that you did to yourself...but when people saw your good deeds they seemed to raise their eyebrows and criticized you instead of complimenting you.
Living in a imperfect world is also living with the imperfect creatures....yes,we aren't perfect but the little effort and good deeds that we contributed seems to be unnoticed and nor appreciated by others!!!!
Are their numb and heartless people in this world? By nature human are created by God with soft-hearted and kind..but when sin covers the world everything changed instantly.
By doing good,is there any measure or gauge just to tell the whole being that I am good? Well, the saying above is a self-explanatory....just ask yourself,ponder, internalized, contemplate.
Can we simply follow and do good to others without expecting anything in return?

GOD ALWAYS ANSWERS PRAYER

There are only two kinds of life, two spectacular set of images of life that humanity can see, Happiness and Sadness.
Most of the entries I posted previously, brought sadness to those who happened to read.It speaks frustration,depression and nothing but about sadness.Because of the plight that I have right now,I thought of God closes His ears to listen my poor supplications since none of my prayers had answered.
I visited my Alma Mater (AUP) and stayed there for a couple of days.Mostlikely,I usually stayed at periodical section to satisfy my longingness of reading books,magazines, and newspapers.
While browsing a certain religious magazine, one eye-catching column had opened the blindness in me that God is still answering even my faintest prayer.
Let me share this encouraging messages which I photocopied,just to let everybody know God really answers prayer.





When the idea is not right God says, "No."

No ~ when the idea is not the best.

No ~ when the idea is absolutely wrong.

No ~ when though it may help you, it could create problems for someone else.

When the time is not right, God says, "Slow."

What a catastrophe it would be if God answered every prayer at the snap of your fingers.

Do no you know what would happen? God would become your servant, not your master.

Suddenly, God would be working for you instead of you working for God.

Remember:

God's delays are not God's denials.

God's timing is perfect.

Patience is what we need in prayer.

When you are not right, God says, "Grow."

The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness.

The cautious person must grow courage.

The timid person must grow in confidence.

The dominating person must grow in sensitivity.

The critical person must grow in tolerance.

The negative person must grow in positive attitudes.

The pleasure-seeking person must grow in compassion for suffering people.

When everything is all right, God says, "Go."

Then the miracles happen:



A hopeless alcoholic is set free!

A drug addict finds release!

A doubter becomes as a child in his belief.

Diseased tissue responds to treatment, healing begins.



The door to your dream suddenly swings open

and there stands God saying, "Go!"


The purpose of prayer is not to give you what you want, when you want it. But the purpose of prayer is to turn you into the kind of person God wants you to be so he can answer your prayer in the way it needs to be answered..

God answers prayer always in one of four ways: When conditions are not right, God says "no." When the time is not right, God says "slow." When you are not right, "God answers grow!" When everything is right, God says, "GO!



God does not advertise an "Instant Prayer Answering Service." Nowhere in the entire Bible can you find that God will do anything you ask Him to do when you snap you finger or when you make your verbal demand. But when everything is right - the conditions, the time, you yourself, and all else - then the answer is "Yes!"

God maintains control in the area of the why and the when. If to your very sincere prayer He answers no, and you ask Him why you can be sure God will not answer or explain. God doesn't answer why questions for this simple reason: You really want to argue and God refuses to be drawn into an argument. Any reasons that He would give in answer to your why question would not satisfy.

God never explains why and God never promises when. His delays are not denials. His timing is perfect. Patience is what we need in prayer. Some people don't suffer from doubt as much as they suffer from impatience. P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E is one of the ways to spell faith!

"O rest in the Lord, wait patiently for Him and He shall give thee thy heart's desire.

SHOWERS OF BLESSING


There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Refrain:
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
There shall be showers of blessing;
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come, and now honor Thy Word.
There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
There shall be showers of blessing,
If we but trust and obey;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
If we let God have His way.


God has been really so good to me....and word's of gratitude isn't enough to express how much I appreciate Him and love Him so dearly.
The above passages is a Christian song entitled Showers of Blessing written by Daniel W. Whittle,1883.
The song describes the abundance blessings from above.And that is exactly the feeling I felt right now.
Somewhat indescribable and tearfully heartwarming.
First,I got a job now,though I was rejected for Texas but God reserves better than going to US.
Secondly,I received money from my benefactor in New York....
Third,I am nominated as Filipino Blog of the Week by Talksmart....isn't so unbeleivable?
