Ei, ikaw nga!
May personal question sana ako sayo...oks lang ba?
Pano ka ba magmahal?
Ikaw ba ung tipong nagmamahal ka ba ng lubusan, kalahati or alang pakialam?
Paano nga ba magmahal ng isang napaka-importanteng tao sa buhay natin?
Talk 5: Loving GOD
Kung noong talk 4 ay pinsan ko ung sinama ko...ngayon naman ung pamangkin ko sa pinsan na si Pauline...14 years old pa lang sya pero may alam sya about sa Couples for Christ. La lang...kahit umupo lang sya dun...gusto ko lang ma-share sa kanya ung makikita at mararanasan nya sa CLP. Nakita ko uli ang mga makukulit na sina Sonz at Jen. Nakakatuwa sila! Mga biba! Hehe! =)

Tapos, nagsalita na ang speaker na si Ate Acel Padilla. Nakaka-inspired ang speaker na ito kc kahit na challenge sya sa paglalakad nang maayos, nagse-serve parin sya. Ang sabi nga nya "d daw pantay ang lupang nilalakaran nya" at natawa naman kami sa ice-breaker nya.
Sa pagkaka-share nya, I can say na naging strong tlga sya at anchored ang life nya kay GOD kc kung hindi, d nya mapapagtagumpayan ang four major operations. Noong bata kc sya nagkaroon sya ng Paralytic Scoliosis na nag-S shaped nya daw tlga ung gulugod nya. Talagang sa lahat ng depressing moments nya tulad nun at sa d pa nya pagiging lawyer ngayon eh naka-hold sya kay GOD. Ang galing naman! Nakaka-inspired. =)
Sabi nga nya...
We are still work in progress. Our GOD is not finished with us yet.
Ang sabi pa...
If everything is not anchored with GOD, it will fall short.
Tama naman un...at naniniwala ako dun...GOD should be the center of everything.
Loving GOD should be on highest ideals. It should be from the heart and not by mere 'pakitang-tao'.
We repented and claimed faith...how do we love our GOD?
One of the ways is to love GOD with all our being...
Love GOD with all our HEART
Heart is the seat of intelligence and decision. Andun na tayo na ung utak natin ang nagproprocess pero taga-process lang sya ng mga decisions natin na nanggaling sa puso. As the famous saying goes..."decide from your heart and not from your mind as there are reasons that the mind could not comprehend".
Again, loving GOD is not just a feeling na ngayon mahal mo sya pero papano bukas? Tulad din ng mga committed ngayon...ngayon mahal mo sya for some reasons pero papano kong in the next years of your life, may makita kang flaw at mawala ang feelings? Let your heart decide not just your feelings...baka nagpi-feeling ka lang eh mahirap naman...
Another thing, it is a decision. A personal decision to love our GOD. Kapag may decision may commitment ka na rin. Lahat naman tayo in one way or another ay nagmahal na dba? hmm...meron pa bang hindi pa? hehe! Kahit anong forms ng love yan..it's not a decision of others para sa iyo...sayo mismo manggagaling ung decision na un...
LOVE GOD with all our MIND
Sabi sa Sirach, meron tayong free will at intellect. We are not robots na nakapagna-program ng ganitong codes ay aandar na..kaya tayo may decisions at may power to choose eh dahil we are so beautifully made by GOD in a way na makakapag-isip tayo.
Good mind is not merely getting good grades in schools but most importantly allowing our mind to share our thoughts to others.
We also need to keep our mind and body clean for the glory of GOD. Itong body natin ay d naman tlga sa atin eh...we are just stewards of whatever we have right now.
Love GOD with all our STRENGTH
Literally and figurately speaking po ung loving GOD with all our strength. We can love GOD through correct use of our time, talent and treasure. Ung sa time natin, if we have time to read a novel, why not take time to read our Bible? Ang sabi nga ng speaker, hindi naman sinasabing masamang magbasa ng novel...it's just that...maaari rin namang maglaan sa pagbabasa ng Bible...kahit verses lang muna and eventually it will be a source of strength natin. Sa talent naman daw, kung ano ang maibibigay natin for GOD..un nga ung tithing na sinasabi, magbigay daw tayo. Nasa Malachi po un so Biblical po. Anyway, ung financial blessings naman natin, galing un kay GOD. At saka sabi pa sa Bible, gusto ni GOD ung cheerful giver. Malaki nga binigay mo pero ung heart mo naman grumpy habang binibigay un..ala rin dba? Sa talents naman...kung meron tayong naiisip for the glory of GOD...mas OK un kaysa naman maglagay tayo ng strength sa mga bagay-bagay na makakasakit ng kapwa natin.
We are just stewards. Everything is from GOD.
After noon, nagsharing si K. Nakaka-inspired at nakaka-relate ako in a way na mahal nya si GOD by loving her family especially ung papa nya na kapag naka-inom ay nananakit. She stood by him though she has been physically and emotionally hurt. Because, she loves him!
Ang wisdom na nakuha ko sa kanya ay...appreciate things and people kahit na nakita nyo ung flaw nya...sabi pa nya...
"I have flaws from head to toe but I have a perfect GOD who loves me though I am imperfect."
Ngayon, papano ka nga uli magmahal?
Next, kaya ko bang mahalin ang kapwa ko na katulad ko ring may imperfections?
Talk 6: Loving your neighbor! Till next time! =)
To GOD be the glory till eternity!
