Patience...
I'm running out of it lately.
I'm loosing my temper and easily got irritated.
Yeah, I know, my LOVE TANK was almost EMPTY.

Within you is a Love Tank. And your Love Tank has a faucet. The only way for love to flow out of that faucet is if your Love Tank is full. If you don’t receive love, you won’t be able to give love. You can’t give what you don’t have. You can’t love anyone if you don’t love yourself. You can’t even love God if you don’t love yourself. ~Bo Sanchez
Yes, maybe because I was giving love to anybody.
Trying to understand each and everyone so they can feel my love and support. Now, I'm almost empty because of giving. I give...give...give...and no return. Yes, at some point though I know it is wrong to expect a return sometimes I can't help it. Gosh! I am only human. I stumble and fall. Despite the fact that I am practicing to apply all the teaching that I read and heard.
But allow me to share what my mentor Bo Sanchez said.
“Only God’s love can fulfill your deepest needs. Don’t get from others what you can only get from God”
"Stop looking for your happiness from other people. Not from a boyfriend or girlfriend or husband or wife or parent or friend or leader. Go to Jesus…Jesus accepts you without condition, and celebrates you without condition"
“Be the grace-filled person. And when you do this, trust that God will find a way to reward you outside the existing system…Trust in grace. Do the right thing and you don’t have to chase after grace. Grace will chase after you.”
WOW!!! Maybe I just need to rest.
Recharge and refill my love tank into the loving arms of my God.
Have a blessed day...

It's funny that my online banking transaction today was successful after many times of invalid attempt last week which was lead me to frustration.
That time I imagine the interest that will be added to my bills if I cannot pay on time. Really, it gives me a headache. All my plan was acting against me and I become irritated.
Plus the people around me which taking my patience. I'm pissed off.
It's so hard to laugh specially when things were not going according to our plan.
We worry and we become blind to see the other blessings that God was giving us.
We forget the bible verse
Matthew 6:25
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Then I begin to thank God for simple things that I take for granted that week.
- I had a great laugh watching movie with friends last Monday.
- There is what they call Karma at Tuesday. haha! Someone reminds me about Karma at work.
- I had a rest day at Wednesday and cook some food.
- A blessed Bible Study at Thursday
- I had a friend who drive me to market that Friday despite of the typhoon.
- Sharing some laugh with my co-worker and boss at Saturday morning
- Sleep-over with friends at Sunday night.
See..God was giving our life some spice but sometimes we take that for granted specially those small things that was presented to us. A smile of a stranger that brighten our day. A cool breeze of the wind that relieved our tiredness. The blossom of wild flower in the neighbor. A simple hug of a friend who are giving us courage...etc. etc...
Worrying just stop us from enjoying the good one.
Do Not Worry Laugh With God Today!

After attending a bible study the thought
that linger to me is to pray,
"Lord, teach me to love
you".
Nowadays it so easy to say I love
God, I love Jesus but do we really love Him?
I mean the real essence of love.
And it came to me that I never
included that phrase to my prayer. Honestly it never was.
And if God will ask me the question
"Do You Love Me?"
Maybe I cannot easily answer the
question.
Because I know deep within me there
is still selfishness.
Yes, I pray, but mostly for myself,
for my families, friends.
I never prayed "How can I love
you, Lord?", "Teach me to love you, Lord"
And recently I watched this video coming from facebook that somehow describe me.
Buti na lang talaga mabait si God. Must watch!
Simple Animation that will touch your heart, nakakaiyak talaga 'to.. ganda ng message ni God sa atin.

And from now on I will include that to my prayer. "Lord, teach me to love you."
