My Solid Rock

Take A Bite!!!

An Allegory

…sa ibang sulok ng mundo, walang pillows.

Pillows. This is the chocolate cracker thing that’s got a blast of real chocolate inside. It comes in 2 sizes of yellow bags. It’s being sold all around the

Philippines

. Sa Ministop, marami. Ako nga umuubos nun. Pero one time, naubusan ako.

It’s like sometimes you crave, and you go to this special store where you buy your special pillows, but, ubos. Tapos uuwi ka, Lord? Gusto ko ng pillows. Sige na please…Lord? Tapos yung tono ng pananalita mo gusto mo pang bumaba si God at bigyan ka ng sandamukal na pillows.

Mali

. Bababa si God para sabihing “Anak?”…sabay tugush!!!

Hehe. Just an animation of God revealing to you how awful can you get to forget His greatest! Loveliest! Most stunning gift of all! Chadan! Salvation. J Then you go back to the Bible, Ephesians 2:8.

Oo nga God noh? Ok lang. Kahit walang pillows.

But I can definitely not end it that way. Walang pillows?

Pillows. Is a gift, too. It’s something you wanna have a taste of from time to time. You love it. You need it. And God knows that. God knows that, at some point, pillows is a must. You need pillows to keep moving and sailing. To give you energy.

Once you crack that crunchy part with your incisors, you chew it good. Chocolate melts in your mouth, but how about a handful of it? How about taking it in one by one just like a pill, cherishing each moment? Masarap ang tsokolate.

That’s what makes pillows special. It’s yummy. It’s yellow. No. It’s brown in a yellow bag. It’s the greatest, most precious edible thing in the world. When I have one, I’ll have everyone take a bite. That is my mission.

It’s good. It’s hard to find.

I’ve been craving for pillows. I’ve gone to places but nowhere to find it except sa Pilipinas. I miss it.

Pursuing Friendship

  TO THE YOUTH :

5 Rules

1. Know your Ultimate Priority. “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1) God tells us to learn to say “no” not only to ungodliness but even to many profitable, good, wonderful things that could clog your mighty purpose.
2. They aren’t just your friends. He/She isn’t just your friend; he/she is your brother/sister in Christ.
3. Create a balance, avoid the extremes. (Ecclesiastes 7:18) God says let us neither be for the legalistic nor for the too clingy.
4. Be busy doing God’s will. This could get you away from swerving from the Lord’s righteous path.
5. Decide to pursue friendship. Make friends without thinking that you’re going to marry that person someday, but keeping purity and holiness for serving and pleasing God, and preserving yourself for God’s Best.

This is a pattern of pursuing genuine friendliness that manifests our nourished soul by the Best Friend, whom you spend time with, whom you love, and whom you invest Forever Friendship with, the One who laid down His Life for you and did everything first.

I am certainly NOT trying to impose these rules, because if I did I would be granting an access for the legalistic spirit which would not help us in seeking God. But my prayer is for God to reveal these things to you just as how He mightily revealed it to me.

This was made tangible for me through my Christian leaders/friends who influence me most namely Pastor Nixon & Eva Ng, Rochelle Mendoza, Aina Gadate, and Daniel Trinidad.

I’m hungry for God, for true worship.

I long to stand on the second row

like how I used to, but now

It’s hard to compensate, yet God knows my heart.

I sit infront of a computer table,

my weapons jumpstart

Where it isn’t likely to worship,

I do

I weep, I cry

I call out for Him

His Grace, and I always meet

Him face to face

I feel God’s Presence, the Spirit leads

me to things, powerful and revealing

One day I’ll be back again on that

second row

to sing praises of Rock

But i’ll always remember the hours

spent on that place that God blessed

in my sanctuary

on that computer table

Where He stirred me up in Spirit and

in Truth

Where worship form tears,

where tears form worship.
