How's my relationship with God recently?

-

Lately I've thought that I've grown lot spiritually. Like my spirit gets better. Little do I know that it is no brainer to tell such thing and I will always fall short to God's glory.


It is God being good to me. Yet! I am not being good to Jesus.

By reflecting, I realized that my relationship with God is one way. It's only Him being good to me.

It's only me giving up my baggage on Him. It's only me putting on Jesus all my burdens in life. It's all me putting Jesus in my position for my sins. It's only me who Put's in the name of JESUS when everything my life falls apart. Its only me calling his name when there's stresses in my life.

But when it's God's turn to call me by my name and He wants me to carry my cross. I turn my back away. I am closing my hearts to Him. Not until I need God again. 

That's how I can describe my relationship with God. 

Sounds....erggg right? But God is so Good. He always call me by my name.

My spirit grown a lot because He is near.
My spirit gets better because I am reaching toward Him.

Now I crave for a better relationship with God.

Matthew 16:24-26 says..

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?

A relationship cannot be just God loving me. It also me, loving God. That I love God so much that I can be less of me and more of Him.

This is my life with Jesus.

I hope reading this may help you reflect and realize your relationship with God.

God loves you. And He loved us first.


Your warmest superhero,

Franz

Sa Babaeng Itinakda ng Diyos Para sa Akin

Sa babeng aking mamahalin,                           Kasalukuyan kong inihahanda at ipinagbubuti aking sarili. Kaya naman huwag kang magalala kung marunong ba akong maglaba o magkula ng damit.Kailanman ay hindi ko pagsasamain ang dekolor at ang mga puti. Magaling din akong magsukat ng sinaing o magsangag ng hindi naubos na kanin. Kung nais mo naman ng masarsang ulam, kaya kitang ipaghain ng adobo basta't habaan mo lamang ang iyong pasensya dahil sa youtube lamang ako natuto.                         Hindi ko alam kung kailan ka darating o makikilala subalit kung ito nga'y plano Niya, alam kong ito'y sa tamang oras at panahon. Sana lamang rin ay tama ang outfit ko at hindi ako mukhang dugyutin sa oras na iyon. Wala naman akong inaasahang lugar. Hindi ka rin naman siguro galing sa ibang planeta kaya't sa mundong ibabaw parin tayo ...

Doing the Work but Not Getting Payed or Any Credit

I am a private school teacher of a quite small institution. And you maybe  guessing it right away, we're quite understaff. And because we lack people to work on a project, as a teacher we are asked to lend some help for some.  As an ICT Teacher, I've been marked as part of called Research and Development Team, but basically it's just a team for marketing and promoting the school. Letting the school be known to others. It's quite a lot of task because the first projects are to create some brochures templates, tarpaulins, video plus a deadline not a strict one but of course put some pressure on the back.   And then questions came to my mind. Will I still do this work if I am not getting paid or won't get any credit from my works? Why does it feels like it is embarrassing to accept this job? Like "Pinapagod mo lamang sarili mo hindi ka naman bayad dyan. G na G ka pa." Why do I think that other people would look at me like, "Why are you so cra...

This is Where Our Journey Begins

                 Months ago, I've decided  to write my own book. Then life came. It wasn't kind. There are so much resistance contrast to that dream. I wasn't good at English, my grammar sucks, words were redundant, or you might even encounter wrong spellings of words from my blog posts. (I would love if you'd correct me.) But damn it, I am commited. This might take some time, this might take a lot of work but the weight of my dreams is greater than the hardships I might encounter. It's been decided, I will go through an endless refinement and continous improvement. I will overcome my untrue limitations.                   In order to write this dream book of mine, I had to take it step by step, little by little.                  Back then, I used to journal my memorable days on a worned out pocket notebook that I've bought on a s...
