WWJD: What would Jesus Do
The Call to a Radical Faith for Perseverance
/ˈradək(ə)l/
adj. far-reaching or thorough.
In our day-to-day lives, we will find ourselves in sticky situations and we find ourselves questioning how we ever got into it despite exercising caution. or sometimes, situations led to us by people whom we endear the most and suddenly left us out during trials.
In today's Gospel, the Lord has clearly instructed how we should respond to such situations which may require us to choose between standing for our faith and on the other hand, resorting to our own ways in finding recourse in all our own human capacity 'til we tire ourselves.
The only requirement to get through is to persevere.
How do we actually persevere despite the hardships?
Fear will always overtake us--no one is ever exempted but Jesus says in today's word :
(Luke 21:14-16)
"Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute."
We may never be prepared in sudden situations but our faith and trust in what the Lord is going to do shall bring us forward.
In the same manner, when Jesus reassures others that he provides wisdom, as His followers, we, too , shall encourage one another of the wisdom that He gives us.
Fear will blind us the moment we are clouded by the overwhelming realities of life but the wisdom of God sets a path before us that we may walk in the ways of the Lord towards the path he paved for us.
All we are required of is a faith that is far-reaching and thorough. Human minds (EVEN OUR OWN) will think that it is crazy and absurd but as the Lord says, we must persevere despite adversaries, we should not worry if we are not prepare. We find confidence in the Lord, knowing He will perform for us.
Friends, let us pray that we may have the Radical Faith that goes beyond earthly logic that the Lord may work in us and His name be glorified.

WIRED TO BE BEAUTIFULLY LOVED

Imahe
My dad had been a lot different lately. I guess this pandemic's lockdown has its way of squeezing out creative juices and hidden abilities in people. I have been with my dad for 26 years but it took us that long to know him a little bit more. He loves planting and finds joy in taking care of them. This week, he showed me a little Bonsai plant he was taking care of; I never knew he would take his planting hobby to that level! I observed tie wires entangled with the plant's stems. I asked him why he had to wire them up. He said, the wires were meant to form the plants according to his design, eventually they will be removed once the green stem turns brown and hardens up. In that moment,  I saw God in my dad. Many years ago, God made a covenant to David saying " I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And My loving devotion will never depart from him as I removed it from your predecessor." (1 Chronicles 17:13) God is no different than our earthly

Lives are Numbered, Seasons have Days

I've been meaning to do this write-up for quite some time already but it just came to sink-in, now.  I started drafting this post about 2 months ago with 2 paragraphs and 4 lines on it. Until today. I decided I had to finally put things into words, this time. This deserves a publish.  I'm breaking the news. I'm finally in a relationship.  "ENOUGH," I said midway through the year of 2019. I grew tired of dating gazillion times, sipping up coffee while mustering a conversation which was a struggle to maintain. My life seemed to be stage play in barren field with all the entertainment I've been through that bore no fruit at all. I think, for most of my age, people have at least planned to find partners and settle. On the other hand,  I had my own directions , even considering ending up alone to the point of buying myself a small house where I will live by myself til I grow old. Life always has ways of making us tread into crossroads that le

5 Signs you need to de-stress

-
This is a busy world! Remember the last time when you didn’t need to set your alarm before going to bed? Or having to check your wrist watch while having coffee in daylight with friend? Most of us probably lost the time to sit back and for a second forget about the time, forget about other things and RELAX. And because industry is demanding so much work from us these days, we often put more than two of our feet in a certain situation, forgetting that there’s only two of them! We’re demanded more of what we only have! What’s the point? We exhaust ourselves too much on things that would lose us, which is probably why we get a lot of boiling tempers,  excruciating body pains, migraines, insomnia, and unusual mood swings. So here are 5 signs that you need to pack your bags, take a break, and enjoy the road and the freedom in the outdoors. 11)     THE BLURR- “It’s just my memory against me!” “I’m aging really fast.”  When things go wrong because you lose focus, we often say it’s
