Go ahead, cry!

The pain in this pandemic is hard to bear. Frontliners call for time out. Some people are shirking. Many are fainting, distressed, deppressed, declined, downhearted, troubled.

Maybe you are afraid to show your vulnerability. You believe that holding your tears is a virtue. But go ahead, cry... cry unto God!

Cry to God just like the psalmist David. The Lord hears you. He comforts you. He notices what you say. He delivers you from your sufferings.
[Psalms 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.]

Cry to God just like Job. When you think no one stand before you, when people are against you, when friends fail you, remember the Lord. Wept before Him and let Him heal that broken heart. 
[Job 16:20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.]

Cry to God just like Hannah. Mingle your tears with prayer. Bring that bitternes to God and plead to Him for His mercy.
[1 Samuel 1:10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.]

Cry to God just like the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. As your trouble and sorrow grow, grow in prayer. In your agony, pray earnestly.
[Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.]
The list goes on. The Bible is filled with accounts and stories of strongest people of faith crying to God in their adversary. They did not only cry. They cried unto God.

Go ahead, cry unto Him!
Pour out your heart before Him.
[Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.]

Cast your cares upon Him.
[1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.]

Bring your request unto Him.
[Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.]

God knows your pain. Weep when necessary. But move forward with faith. Be refreshed and be restored. Do not dwell on your tears. Rejoicing is a command as well.
[Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.]

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

COMMITMENT SPEECH SAMPLE

It was August of last year when my niece asked me to help her making a commitment speech for their induction program. We tried at least to become relevant – August is Buwan ng Wika, so we decided to use most of it in Filipino; she loves Mathematics, so we agreed to use and relate Math as her introduction; she is not actually fluent in English (and she admits that), so she practiced her pagka-maka-bayan kuno! 😁 Below is the full text of her speech and I found it saved on my laptop. ****************************************** Our esteemed Guest speaker, our active School Principal, Faculty and Facilitative Staffs, Fellow Officers, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, a pleasant morning to one and all. Hayaan po ninyo akong gumamit ng wikang Filipino bilang bahagi sa pagpapahayag ng aking talumpati sa umagang ito. Ngayong ika-anim na taon ko sa paaralang ito, naisip kong paano kaya kung wikang Filipino ang gamitin sa pagtuturo sa asignaturang Sipnayan a.k.a. ...

Pamana

One historian said, "PAMANA (Heritage) is something that is passed down from one generation to the next. Heritage are also family’s tradition, values, wisdom, principles, and formed experiences that are not static but revolves over time ." This poem is inspired by 1 Thessalonians 1:3. Luma, sira, kinakalawang: Ano bang saysay nito sa kasalukuyan? Piping saksi po ito ng nakaraan, Tanglaw ng pamana sa kinabukasan.   Kung makakapagsalita lamang ang bagay na ito, Tiyak kong marami din itong maikukuwento, Kuwentong dapat mong marinig - Pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig.   Hindi lamang ito pangkaraniwang padyak. Sa Diyos ipinalangin at kaniyang iniyak, Kaligtasan ng kapwa inibig niyang matiyak Pati anghel sa langit, labis ang galak!   Ito ang lumang bisikleta ni Ptr.Jhune Cadeliña, Katuwang niya nang HBBC ay nagsimula. Kayamanang maituturing noon pang dekada otsenta, Piping saksi sa maraming kuwentong biyaya.   Walang patid kong ...

Just a Short Message for Incoming Engineering Students

  (I shared this text to someone and I am inspired to put on here, in hopes that it can encourage also somebody.) Study for life, not for grades. When the time comes that you do not hit your aim to have excellent grades, remember that passing or conditional or even failing grades is a norm in Engineering school. Be strong and have a good courage. Extreme pressures come along. And when failure comes, take in mind and in heart that failure is a not a person. Failure is just an event. Most often, a series of events. Enjoy to endure and endure to enjoy. Engineering is enduring and enjoying. (The half has not yet been told in all engineering Fb pages or vlog contents. Discover the wonders for yourself.) Look for seniors or upper class  men whom you can look up to and listen to them. When you do, you will also have a story to tell to younger than you someday. If you cannot find good kuyas and ates , be the trailblazer. Expect the worst but hope for the best! When we say h...
