HUMILITY (iProclaim Lk. 1:46 Day 2)

Saying you are humble is connoting otherwise… I mean, humility is not something you say. It’s something that you show. And it’s authenticity reveals only to others. As for the gauge upon yourself, it’s a strife you have to face over and over. The challenge is to fight over pride and to re-evaluate your life again, ever single moment.

This has been a struggle for me ever since, well, until this very moment. Humility is not making yourself an underdog but rather, it is more on knowing your place. To be humble is acknowledging your weaknesses and reminding that Someone is far more greater than us. When we kneel in humility with Father, we see that we are nothing and He is God. And with that, we tend to know ourselves better and His will for us.

Each of us has something to be proud of. It is because we have something that we have achieved. Well, indeed, that is a thing we need to put our regard. It is innate our human nature, that pride in us, that tends to make ourselves more than others. We have all the capacity to be proud.

Personal, this has been one of my greatest pursuit. When I started to know God more, I started to know myself: that this pride of mine blocks me from achieving a relationship with others and my God.

One great example of humility is GOD himself. Because of His GREAT LOVE for us, He became human. Humanity is the most humble thing a GOD could be. But, with this, He channelled Himself to us, for us to see that it takes humility to be change and to be with the EMMANUEL. Then it was not enough, He lived like us. He grew and worked as a carpenter. He never had servants but worked for the Father’s Kingdom. And even being executed like a criminal.

Let us make it our prayer: that we struggle for humility. Though it is not measured in human eyes and minds, but it is between GOD and us. I am not writing this because I had withstand this, but I’m writing this because I am struggling as well, and I believe I’m not alone. Let’s keep our hearts yearning for the GREATER ONE that He may grant us strength to continue this journey with Him.

GOD LOVES YOU EVERYONE

FAITH (iProclaim Lk.1:46 Day 1)

iProclaim Lk.1:46 Day 1

Before I thought the Jesus I know is only found in the books I read in school. I had my kindergarten and elementary days in a Roman Catholic School. Well, as a given, we are being taught about how Christ lived in the world and his story in our Christian Living classes. Well, modesty aside, I usually excel in such subject. I thought knowing Him will give me good grades and He is pure theory.

When I got older, I got fascinated with science and read books of all kinds. Then, I started questioning everything around me and my faith on things. I started questioning if God really exist. Yes, I believe it’s normal to ask about it. Yeah, like Thomas (the Twin), Christ apostle, who wanted to touch Christ’s pierced hands, feet and chest. It was like I really want to find out if this is real, everything I’m doing in Sunday, every time we pray the rosary as a family. I was seeking if all of this has an explanation. I was driven in scientific thought and wants all the answer.

One STORY drew me to my greatest turning point:

When we were lining up in the Basilica del Sto. Nino in Cebu, my mother and I encountered the painting of St. Augustine and a Child with a shell. Well, curious about the painting, I asked my mom what the painting was all about. She narrated:

When Augustine was starting as a priest, blessed with a brilliant mind, he wanted to know the details of the WISDOM of the TRINITY. So while he was walking along the seashore, he keep asking God to reveal such great WISDOM to Him. Then, he noticed a child digging a hole on the sand with a shell. He stopped and observed as the child while he was putting the water from the sea to his tiny hole. With curiosity, he asked the child: “What are you doing?” The Child answered: ” I’m putting all the ocean unto this hole.” Augustine was amused and logically explained to the Child: “That cannot be. You see, your hole is small and the ocean is so big for the water to fit in there”. The Child smiled and said: “Well, we are no different. How can you fit God’s infinite wisdom inside your tiny limited brain”.

Then it occured to me, indeed, why am I asking for all the evidences in the world when all things can never be explained by human limitation? Then, I started praying for FAITH, that GOD may install in me the belief beyond what I can see and feel. And indeed, He didn’t fail me. When I joined my youth camp, He gave me a chance to ask for that gift from the Holy Spirit. At first, I was still doubtful, but God was constant in pressing unto me that He is beyond human understanding. As Scriptures, His foolishness was beyond the human’s greatest intelligence.

He, then, became personal. PERSONAL because He conquered that thing that fascinates me a lot and change it into an everlasting seeking of Him. As I look into all the knowledge in the world, it was made to proclaim His Glory. From the stars above to our bodies in synchronized physiology, it is all about HIM. Indeed, He is personal. And He never stops letting me challenge my search of Him everyday.

My life is never enough to know Him and I know He will always be something beyond my understanding. But He never require us to discover all of this, rather, all He wants us to do is to do LOVE HIM and ALLOW HIM to REVEAL that HE PERSONALLY WANTS you to KNOW.

Dear friends, Let seek Him more personally… He is more than times that we attend Church on Sundays. He is more than the prayers we pray or memorize. He is BEYOND. Discover His love yourself and I tell you, His LOVE is VAST!

to God be the GLORY

GOD LOVES YOU!

HELLO WORLD! GOD LOVES YOU!

Blessed day everyone!!

Since Sunday is the start of the week, this will mark the commencement of my little project for the summer vacation. Starting today until May 6, 2012… I will be writing my reflections of my WOW Journey with the Lord. For the past 9 years, I became a member of a Catholic Covenant Community, CFC Youth for Christ. And indeed, it was a wonderful journey that is worth telling to the world that seeks for CHRIST and HIS LOVE. 

These reflections are my personal encounters of GREAT LOVE from the ALMIGHTY… God moulded me through these experiences to be someone who will proclaim His Greatness in my life… wherever I am sent…

For GOD loved me first! Jn 3:16

I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN ME IN THIS JOURNEY… :D

GREAT GOD be praised forever…

FOR THE ALMIGHTY
