Are you Beautiful?


“Eternal Beauty”
“Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.”
-1Peter 3: 3-4

            Being in the middle of my youthful days, I always experience the pressure in making myself beautiful and fashionable just to follow the trend set by famous and beautiful models and actresses. Clothes and hairstyles are being copied from anywhere just because it is the trend today. The next few months or weeks, the trend today will no longer be new and there comes another set you will have to follow if you want to be up to date in what’s happening in the present. This is the cycle of being fashionable nowadays. The mindset of every girl is like, if you are beautiful, you have to draw the attention of the crowd. In order to get their attention, you have to be fashionable like hair with artificial colors, signature clothes, shoes, make up etc. Sadly, because of this, the real definition of beauty is being replaced.

            We are forgetting that we are children of God. If we are children of God, we have to follow the standard of beauty the Lord has given us instead of following what the world is telling us to be beautiful. The Lord does not want us to give more importance to our outward appearance. Fancy Hairstyles, expensive jewelry, beautiful clothes will not make us beautiful in the eyes of God. We have to give importance more to the beauty of our soul, the beauty of our conscience, the beauty of our character. These are precious to God. Let us focus more in making ourselves pleasing to God through kindness to everyone, gentleness in words and in actions, modesty on the way we present ourselves and most especially a Loving Heart that loves God first.

            Follow the standard of our true Father. His standard is not the same as of this world that turns old and fades, for this beauty will last forever.  Be truly beautiful, child of God!

Loving your Enemy

Matthew 5:43-44 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. The first step to love our enemies is to pray for them. Jesus said, ‘pray for those who persecute you.’ If we pray for our enemies, something mysterious happens inside us. It is like pouring icy cold water to your sizzling emotions. When we continue to pray goodness for our enemies everyday, one day you’ll realize that your anger has gone. And once we have removed our anger, we can start doing good things for them such as: Forgiving and forgetting about their sins against us. Forgiveness is an act of the will of the heart. And Christian forgiveness means that when we forgive, we also forget. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Reaching out to them. We do not just forgive our enemies, we also take steps to be closer to them. Real forgiveness demands restoration of relationship. Just like how Go...

Unworthy

We are worthless in God's holy presence. We are just worms in God's sight. We are nothing compared to Him. So in everything we say and do, we must always be reminded that God whom we are serving is a perfect God and the greatest of all. We must be careful not to boast of our goodness to Him because nobody is good enough for God. But then, the Lord does not look on our imperfections. He sees what's in our hearts and if we are willing to be His children, He will certainly accept and change us to be a better person. God sees our worth as His creation and His love for us makes us worthy to come to Him even though we're actually not.

PNOY's Speech Reaction (TV Patrol 25th Anniversary)

Like President Noynoy Aquino, I want to congratulate TV Patrol for their 25 years of serving the people of the Philippines. PNOY’s speech was very honest yet he never forgot being polite. I believe that the message he wanted to tell especially the news commentators was clearly delivered although people may have different feedback about it. Although, some may think that the President ruined the celebration by pointing out the news anchor of TV Patrol who gave his comment/opinion that made a bad image for the government about news they were reporting. According to the president’s speech, the comment of the news anchor makes the good news appear to be a not-so-good one and is obviously against the government. Because of this, the people who hear may also be influenced about his opinion and eventually believe that the government is really doing nothing good and the country has no progress at all. The comment of the president sounds right to me but it may also change if I ...
