You think you're better than others?




Why do people always think that they are better than others?
January 2012

Honestly, I don’t know. (Sometimes I do it.) But maybe I can guess?
Maybe, because they are pessimists. Negative thinkers. They think of everything about everything negative (Not at least for themselves). It’s just that there are people who can’t see the beauty of life (or they don’t wanna see it), all they see are the faults of other people. Be careful to this people, one mistake and all the good in your life will be gone in an instant…. In their eyes. How sure I am? I’ve met some.

Or maybe… because they are sooooo in love!!!! With themselves. You know those kind of people who like it so much to sit in front of a mirror and admire themselves while looking on their reflection checking if there’s anything wrong about themselves but actually thinking that there’s nothing bad about them as if they are the only perfect person in the world (exaggerating, I am.) But yes there are. Whether you believe it or not, these terrible people exist (sad to say). So what do you do if fate decided to bring you face to face with these creatures? (curse fate) Avoid them. That’s it.

Or  maybe, insecurity. You know, trying to boost their confidence by thinking that they are better than others, because the truth is they don’t believe in themselves and deep inside them they know that someone is really better than them but they just don’t wanna admit it. If you are like this, then try to change. If you meet someone like this don’t try to change them, you can’t.

Or  maybe because they are richer. Yes money, the root of evil (or should I say the love of money is the root of evil.) Hay. Many people believe that having a lot more money can make you powerful. And power will make you better. It can make you feel that you can control, manipulate other people who have less of it. I can’t blame them, many times; you can really feel that money is something that controls your life. So what do you do? Get all your money out of your life? (I’m not a fool) Oh no, you need money but don’t just love it. Love people more than this.


I guess, my guesses are all set and I don’t really know if I got any answers. But here is one thing I think I’m quite certain: If you really think that you’re better than somebody and you don’t belong to any of the above, then maybe you are really better than them? Sometimes it happens… :P (of course I’m kidding)

So this is it, if you just can’t stop thinking about this, Just stop thinking that you’re better than someone because you’re not. Definitely not. So that may settle it.

Wisdom comes from God

Young people tend to be timid and shy to say what's on their mind because they think that they do not have enough knowledge and credibility to deliver a message. But then adults tend to think that because of their age, they know things better than those younger than them. Realize where wisdom is coming from. It's coming from God alone and the Lord can use both young and old, it doesn't really matter, to deliver His message or do something for Him. So young people do not need to fear and adults must not be too proud. All Wisdom comes from God alone.

OCC Parugan Children's Outreach

Last June 4-7, 2013, Emmanuel's Christian Family Life Ministries conducted the Operation Christmas Child Program. It is a program wherein Children are taught about Jesus Christ and they will be receiving donated gifts in shoe boxes. During these days, classes have already started so it is very hard for us, the Sunday School teachers, to compromise with the schedule of the kids. We weren't able to make them go to church for almost a week to attend the teaching program anymore. But this didn't stop us either from pursuing this activity. Instead of making the kids go to us, what we did is to go to them. Our head Sunday school teacher assigned us to different places to teach, some have partners, some didn't, depending on the number of children we are going to teach. Since I only have less than ten students, I was assigned to go alone in Sitio Parugan. I didn't know if I will consider myself blessed  that time because the venue where I will be teaching is the ho...

There is no Fear in the Light

Psalms 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? Fear is darkness . And there is only one solution to darkness, it is LIGHT. There can only be darkness when there is an absence of light. Same with our fears, we can overcome all of it using the liberating light of God. The Lord is our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear? Fear is controlled by our doubts but our Faith controls certainty. Fear sees darkness, while faith sees light. While fear sees wickedness, faith sees the goodness of the Lord. Nothing and no one can stop the light of God. So whenever we have the light of God, there can never be a shadow of darkness in our lives.   Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) If we obey His commandments, we follow His examples and...
