Colossians 3: 12-21

Colossians 3:12-21

 ¹² Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ¹³ Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ¹⁴ And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

 ¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ¹⁶ Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. ¹⁷ And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Instructions for Christian Households

 ¹⁸ Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. ¹⁹ Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
 ²⁰ Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
 ²¹ Fathers,^[a] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

Ephesians 4: 1-6

Ephesians 4:1-6

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ

 ¹ As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 

² Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 

³ Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 

⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism; ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Galatians 2: 17 - 21

Galatians 2:17-21

New International Version (NIV)

 ¹⁷ “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners, doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! ¹⁸ If I rebuild what I destroyed, then I really would be a lawbreaker.
 ¹⁹ “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. ²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. ²¹ I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”^[a

Job 42:1-6

New International Version (NIV)

 ¹ Then Job replied to the LORD: ² “I know that you can do all things;

   no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

³ You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’

   Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,

   things too wonderful for me to know.

 ⁴ “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;

   I will question you,

   and you shall answer me.’

⁵ My ears had heard of you

   but now my eyes have seen you.

⁶ Therefore I despise myself

   and repent in dust and ashes.”

In Love, I accept everything

Let Your will be done.

Dear LORD, 

Bless, Praise, Glory, Honor and Thank You for being Mary and Job for the day. Like Mary who said yes to the Angel, I said yes to serve in FEAST PUP First Anniversary as photographer. (got the text 9am and need to be in PUP 3pm)

And like Job, I didn't understand why I said yes, when PUP Sta. Mesa is really really really far from Las Pinas City and with LIFT (Leadership Improvement Formation Training of Feast Alabang) at 7:30 pm in Alabang. When it is toooo hot to leave home 12nn and raining cats and dogs in Manila. What I have in my heart is unexplainable wonderful things will happen. Plus I am an alumni. :D

In Love, I accept everything

Let Your will be done.

Into Your hands I commend myself

The celebration is awesome. The loving student servants are powerful and passionate in their service. Mass Celebration is also the Feast of St. Rock (the healer). Which I think healed whatever issues of the mass attendees there. The worship leader Paolo Galia gave a very energetic and inspiring lead. The Campus Feast Builder Jonathan Yogawin's passion for bring Christ to the students, glorified GOD even more. All this happen because of You LORD.

As I see all this things happen, my desire to run a scholarship foundation for PUP students came back. I am not super well of, but GOD provided me with friends who believe in my hearts desire. And happy to also share and make a difference in the lives of the students. 

Blessingssss shared are Blessingssss excellently magnified.   

In Love, I accept everything

Let Your will be done.

Into Your hands I commend myself

Matthew 2:10-12 (Visual Prayer)

Matthew 2:10-12

Today's New International Version (TNIV)

¹⁰ When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. ¹¹ On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. ¹² And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

The photo tells me:

1. The 3 kings, in all humility, praised and worship the Child Jesus.

2. The 3 kings, gave their best gifts.

3. Joseph and Mary did not play stage parents knowing their Child is the Son of God.

4. Mary, after the long travel and after giving painful childbirth kept self control, serenity and graciousness, in welcoming the 3kings in the manger.

Value for the day.

1. Stay humble and meek
2. Give the Best to the LORD.
3. Praise and worship
4. Drop the ego.
5. Serene
6. Graceful

LORD, all i ask in Jesus name. Amen.

Mary Visits Elizabeth

 ³⁹ At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, ⁴⁰ where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. ⁴¹ When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. ⁴² In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! ⁴³ But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? ⁴⁴ As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. ⁴⁵ Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
