God's Provision

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Nothing is impossible with the Lord

We only have to ask and we will receive

As long as we are obedient and follow His ways

He doesn’t give everything we ask though

If it won’t be good to us, He says, “No”

My provision is constant and abounding, My children only have to ask and they will live abundantly, as long as they obey My will and follow My precepts.  When you are separated from Me because of sin, you will experience  lack in your life that is not due to material things.  The emptiness that  you will feel will drive you to look for something to fill the void – drinks, parties, clothes, shoes, vices, etc., but it  cannot be filled with anything or anyone but My love.

Don’t you wonder why there are so many rich people who get depress when they have everything that the world can offer?  They are lonely despite all the grandeur, they feel empty despite all the things they possess.  Why?  Because, seldom do these rich people have a God to call on. They think with their affluence and power, that they are gods over their minions. 

When anyone reaches the top of material wealth possession, without acknowledging My assistance in their fortune, everything will be stripped away from them.  If they are so rich and they’ve become so selfish, not sharing with their less fortunate neighbors, one day everything they own will be taken away. 

It is very important to share with others because this is one of  the universal laws, to give and receive.  It is unhealthy to always give or always receive, because an imbalance will be created. Right now, the world is very unbalanced.  There are only a few who are very rich, and so many who are very poor.  The in-between, the middle class also have their structure, and it is also causing an imbalance. 

Man should work on lessening the gap between poverty and wealth.  Not just by giving donations, but by seeing to  it that their donations go to the rightful causes such as educating the masses and spreading the Good News about Me so that  everyone  will know that I am always here to help.

Be Firm With Your Decisions

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

I may not conform to the world’s views

But as long as I know what is right from wrong

Nothing and no one can persuade

Me to change my mind

Duplicity in character is never good for an individual and for relationships. It is like a shade that blends well with black and white, gray, the in-between.

Be firm with your decisions, stand by it, even if it means  becoming a laughing stock by those who don’t share your views.  Time will tell whether your decision was right or wrong, good or bad.  What is important is that you stood your ground despite the pressures exerted to make you change your mind.

Strength of character is measured by the firmness of one’s resolve to stand before what is right.

Dealing With Delays

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Grin and bear it when unexpected delays

Cause you to slow down

The  reasons maybe  why you are

Still here now  

Message for Dec. 12, 2011.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don’t fret over delays, they serve a reason. Don’t lose your cool because something waylaid your desired or structured plans.

There are delays that will pave the way for a better service, so that your business or personality will grow.

If you are held up on one project, look for other projects that you have neglected to do. That is their time to be given attention. Don’t waste your time whining and complaining, go to work and fill up your time with something good and beneficial.

Nurturing A Relationship

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Relationships grow with constancy

Of purpose,

Giving of time

Showing your love

Always

 Message for Dec. 11, 2011.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When trouble comes,  you seek Me, when everything is fine, you forget Me. Is that right? Is that how you nurture a relationship? Make it grow?

Every time  you must be near at hand, always available, always connected, always ready to be at one’s side. Never forget someone when everything is going smoothly for you, because the other one might be experiencing the rough side and you are not there to lead a helping hand or a listening ear. 

Call from time to time, make yourself available to friends and family members. Let them know you care.  If you can do that to friends, I would also like to be included in your list of contacts.

Call on God All the Time

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

May I always remember to call on You, Lord

Every time, all the time, unceasingly

Every moment of my days

Message for Dec. 10, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Is it so difficult to trust in Me? Why does it take so hard to believe that I AM here to help you all the time?  You only have to call on Me, not only when there is trouble already and  when you encounter problems should you remember to call on My name. 

At the start of every thing that you do, call on Me for guidance.

I wonder why people tend to forget this very basic instruction. 

Intuition and Premonition

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

With the Holy Spirit’s guide I see

What could harm  me, friends and family

It is an unexplained, niggling doubt

That persists till I heed its shout

Message for Dec. 9, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Intuition can be developed in everyone if you know how to be still. It is a gift of the Holy Spirit for all so they will know the danger that might harm them. 

Early people have highly developed senses because it was a means to survive. Premonition and intuition  have the same purpose of  letting  you know in advance what is going to happen to you, your family, friends or your country. It all depends on what you see and feel. 

If you have premonitions that frighten you, just pray that it won’t happen. Prayer and repentance are the only means to stop a bad premonition.

Complete Surrender

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

In complete surrender

I offer My life to Thee

My Lord and My God

My everything

Message for Dec. 8, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Totality in faith? What does it mean? It means you put down everything you know, everything you have in total surrender  to what I want you to do.  You just obey and listen to My instructions.

Give up your life to Me and listen. Make it a habit to have a time for Me before you start your day and before you go to sleep.  And in every moment of your day, take little breaks to ask for further instructions.  You don’t have to be obvious about it and let others notice you. 

Speak to Me in the silence of your hearts and your minds, you can talk to Me there and I will always guide, comfort, protect or provide you in whatever situation you are in.

Trust in Me and have faith.

Keep Your Promise to God

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

A promise to my Lord

I must keep

To avoid His penetrating eyes,

 And I may weep

 Message for Dec. 7, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

For everything you promise to do in My name, you will be held accountable, don’t promise Me anything then that you can’t keep because I will expect it to be done.

Say, “Yes” when you mean, “Yes” and “No,”  when you mean, “NO.”

Why, How and When

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

We always ask, “Why?” and “How?”

If life is not as pleasant as we want it to be

Stop for a moment your grumbling and whine

And ask yourself the question, “When?”

Message for Dec. 6, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

When you have grown weary asking the “whys” and “hows” of your life, try answering the “when.” 

When was the last time you said, “I love you to your mother?”  when was the last time you gave to your neighbor?  When was the last time you were kind to a beggar? When was the last time you lovingly listened to your disgruntled brother? When was the last time you did not grumble and complain? When was the last time you gave praise and thanksgiving to My name?

The Passage of Time

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

The value of time

Is as precious as the moment gone

Not to be recovered

Forever lost

Message for Dec. 5, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, a moment is gone. Value time because you don’t have much of it left. For every time you pause for sleep and relaxation,  clocks don’t stop ticking, it goes on continuously and even if it stops because it has no more battery or due to a mechanical malfunction, the time on earth never ceases to roll on.

You can’t hold back time, or rewind it to where you want to reconstruct or repair where you went wrong.  That is all in the past, move on, you will be left behind.  Don’t hanker for something that is over, yearn for something that is coming and hope you will not be tempted to make the same mistakes in your past.

Always remember the lessons from  your past and use it for a tomorrow that is guided by the wisdom of the past. Don’t hold on to time, it just slips away, value every moment as if it is your last.

Good Words and Good Deeds

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Good words, good deeds

They must go together

For good words alone

Doesn’t do any better

Message for Dec. 4, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Being religious does not guarantee you a place in heaven. All the works and messages that you spread should be accompanied by good deeds. Without good deeds, the volunteer services you gave to church and other organizations serving your brethren, will be worthless. 

Don’t be like a parrot that just imitates the words of their masters. Be a doer of good deed always. Don’t let a day pass without at least one good deed for a friend, family or neighbor.  Good deeds does not only include giving alms, sharing your food, it is also spending time with those who are lonely.

Listening to someone is a good deed, especially if you share words of inspiration that will lift their spirits. Do not mistake the giving of time as unworthy, because time is very valuable. Remember, that it is not what you gave, but how you made a person feel that will be most remembered. 

In The Eyes Of A Child

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Children imitate what they see

Be careful then that what you do

Is always right and not

 Make a wrong, right

 Message for Dec. 3, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

When people grow old, the senses are affected, the reasoning may not be as sharp as before.  You should be more tolerant with the elderly and treat them right.  Sometimes it is the time for their real selves to come out after a long time of suppression. It’s a feeling of being free to be what and who they really are, free at last of the constraints of motherhood or parenthood because the children are all growing up and have their lives of their own.

That is why it is important, very important that parents be their real selves with their children, so they will not confuse their children on what is right and what is wrong as they are growing. Parents who do lip service in saying what’s good and bad but belies their words, doesn’t do much in their child’s character building.

The doubt, the insincerity will affect the child’s judgment. Be truly yourself, teach love, act love. You must as a parent, live and breath love to avoid inconsistencies with your words and actions. Deliver the message of love the right way by setting a good example always! Remember, children just observe you all the time and imitate you. Don’t confuse them, be specific and spread love’s message.   

God's Call

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

May I learn to listen

To God’s voice

In the trials He sends my way

To catch my attention

That have wandered far away

Message for Dec. 2, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Challenges either strengthen your resolve to overcome it or weaken your resolve and give up. When you are faced with situations or conditions that seem to be super unsurmountable, stop struggling, leave it for a moment and come to Me. 

It may be that I want to call your attention, but you wouldn’t listen, so I sent you something that will make you remember Me.  Listen, pray and listen to My will, you maybe going in the wrong direction, or its not the proper way to do the task that was entrusted to you. Discern when a challenge is meant to give you a lesson for future struggles and when it is a call for you to listen to Me.

Work On Your Dreams

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Work on your dreams

Don’t let it go

When you give up

Your dreams won’t show

Message for Dec. 1, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Complacency is not good when you want to fulfill your dreams. You must constantly improve and educate yourself in everything that will help you attain your goals.  Don’t stick to old ways, modernize, make use of technology.

Don’t be like a horse that has no peripheral vision.  Look, observe, gain from the wisdom and fortune of others. Learn your lessons in every challenge. Don’t lose hope and give up. Because when you give up, you let loose of your dreams.

Life Is A Relay Race

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

I’m on the right track

Chosen to do a role long before I was born

To continue a mission others have started

Destined to reach  a goal when  my life will end

 When I'm gone, someone will pick up the slack

and continue the relay race

until the Master says, “Stop!”

Message for Nov. 30, 2011.

Don’t wonder about people who just seem to drift away from your life, their role in your life or yours in them is over. Some of them will come back when there is a need for you to be together again.  Do not worry, do not feel deserted or betrayed, that is just how it is. Remember, that things happen for a reason and a season.

Let your life flow with the season, do not resist what is natural. Can you imagine if the earth will resist its own gravitational force? What will happen? Chaos will happen and that is what you do to your life when you resist something that has already been planned long before you were born.

Life is a cycle, a relay race, when one is through their lifetime, another will take his place, continuing what was started by so many who lived ahead of you many years ago. You may not know it, but you are in a track where somebody had started  a long, long time ago.

Just keep going and focus on Me, so that you won’t keep on being sidetracked and arrive at your destination post when it is time for you to go. Someone else will then pick up from where you have left and move forward. Every person, different roles, varying life spans but all in the same track.

Life Coaches

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Inner peace and calm I’ve achieved

In trusting God’s plan always as I live

The challenges and trials I’ve hurdled well

With His guidance there is no room for despair

Message for Nov. 29, 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Life coaches become credible to those they are helping, if they have proven that they have handled  their lives well despite several challenges.  They are made credible with their personal badge of victory and success. It may not be materially visible, but, their victory  is in their inner selves, a sense of calmness and peace pervading through their body.

The successful life coach is a survivor of life’s jungle, wounded and scarred but victorious, a winner  of life’s journey.  They are there to help others who are lost, who have succumbed to despair, so that they will stand up and fight to live again.  Successful life coaches find pleasure in the number of lives they have helped to succeed with their journey.
