So last month, Tatay was hospitalised for a week. By God’s grace, his stats are now back to normal. But the lump in his arteries needs to be operated. I thought makaka focus na akong magipon ng pang pagawa ng bahay, pero hindi pa rin. Trials after trials, it feels like it will never end.
Parang gusto mong mag give up? Hindi naman, hindi naman ito ibibigay ng Panginoon kung higit ito sa kapasidad naming ihandle. “God will never give us more than we can handle. Is that biblically correct? Yes, if we mean God will never give his people trials in which he will not sustain them and bring them through to everlasting glory. We will be enabled to do all we must do to get there.” - Pastor John Piper
Nakakapagod, oo. But I can rest in Him... “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28
I will always believe that God is sovereign and I can always trust His plans me... “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” - James 1:2-4
After each trial surpassed, you will then realise how gracious the Lord is. You will be amazed how He’s been so faithful in your life and there nothing else that you can do but to express your gratitude. For apart from the Lord, we can do nothing.
Kapit lang!!! Sabi ng Tarsier 😂😂😂 My journey as a believer is indeed not easy, but still very fulfilling and satisfying. Knowing that the Lord is always on my side, there is nothing to fear.
Thank you Lord, still in times of adversity, we can still praise You!~
