I read a post here in read dot cash, saying that one should not continually impart or publish article that is related about faith, or spiritual stand. I was shock a little while reading those things but I was not shocked at all, because I know that sharing about God and the His love will always be least for most of the people. It is not new for me, when I share about Jesus, when I share about the gospel most of the people I approach will hear you but will never listen well and ignore you. But when you share worldly stuff, bingo! They are hooked and will probably patronize you. It is sad, but I am not worrying at all, because I am certain of the truth that I believe in - Jesus Christ, and even many rejections and persecution that will come my way, I will not step back but rather raise the flag and share the truth with love. Good morning! God bless you!

God Helps! *Whatever you are going through - financial problems, family, friends, work, and who or what He is willing to help you.* You can't win if you just trust in your own ability. You need God. He will restore, revive, and deliver you. Above all He will save you. As a testimony, this week I talked to someone. She is having a hard time and really feels her grief. But the sad thing at first was that she didn't want to approach the Lord because she was at the point of blaming the Lord for the sad things that were happening to her. I also said that even though she doesn't have a job and at least she is with her family now and had time with them. In every circumstance we can still be grateful to the Lord. Thank God because she chatted earlier that she prayed last night and she feels good now. Instead of blaming the Lord for the ugly things that are happening in life, why not ask God "Lord, what do you want me to learn?" The situation may not change, but it is certain that our attitude toward life's trials will change. God's no is God's protection and redirection. Because we have desires that can ruin us. Believe it or not God has a good plan for us. We also just have to go through His process. Sometimes His answer to our request is "wait" because we may not be ready yet. There is more to learn and go through. If the Lord wills, He will give it. 😊 God bless to you!

Stay Connected **Stay Connected to the Word of God (Psalms 19:7-14)** Psalm 19 tells us about just some of the amazing benefits of being connected to the Bible. To just name a few, it refreshes us when we are weary, gives us wisdom when we don't know what to do, and is worth more than gold! The problem is that many people don't know how to get much out of the Bible time unless someone spoon feeds them. God wants all his people to know how to rightly handle the Word of God *( 2 Timothy 2:15) s*o that they can hear His voice, obey it, and share it with others! By utilizing some basic patterns and asking some basic questions each day, you can learn to learn to have amazing times in God's Word - even if you don't have a teacher or author telling you what to get out of passage. It is better to teach a person to fish than to fish for them. We want nothing more than to teach you how to spiritually self feed! **2 Timothy 2:15** *Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.* God bless to you, that you are reading this truth. I want you to know that you are loved, by the One who created us. Read and Acknowledge His Words! Photo credits**:** Moses Awaits the Word of God. (n.d.).

Spiritual Growth **"Lord nahihirapan na ako. This is beyond my comfort zone."** *"You ask for spiritual growth, didn't you? This is my way of answering your prayer."* Kapag hiniling natin ang growth, bibigyan ka Niya ng araw at ulan for you to grow. Bibigyan ka Niya ng struggles, trials and battles para tumatag ka. God is answering our prayers in a way we do not expect. What we need to do is to trust Him and trust how He works. God has a purpose in everything that He is giving you and everything that He wants you to go through. **Isaiah 55:8-9** *“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."* God bless you who are reading this. I love you with the love of God.

Pray in Every Moment of Your Life! Do you pray only when you have a problem, you are sick, you are hurting or when you are in a sad situation? Do you just pray because you need something? Pray not just because you need something. Pray because you are thankful to God that despite the shortcomings and sins committed, God is still there. You have not been faithful to Him but He has remained faithful. In the book of 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, "pray continually," Let us be habitual and persistent in prayer. **Prayer changes things.** **Prayer changes us.** **Prayer draws us to God.** **BE PRAYERFUL**

I was not able to post for several days because of what have happen to one of my friend. It is so difficult to mourn when you wanted a certain person to stay when they already gone. I will tell you that story in another post. But for now, I was just shock to see my points lower down so fast, and I don't have any idea what happen when I was gone a bit. Not quite alarming but I was just thinking how can I make a breakthrough in writing, it seems nobody wants to hear from me.

Ang Gabi Bago ang Aking Kaarawan! **Ilang oras na lamang mula ngayon ay kaarawan ko na.** Marahil hindi ako kagaya mo, marahil isa ako sa iilan na nasanay nang walang espesyal sa aking kapanganakan. Walang magarbo o kahit simpleng handa at wala ring keyk na paghahatian. Kadalasan kasi mas nakakaalala pa ng aking kaarawan ang aking mga kaibigan kumpara sa aking mga magulang at mga kapatid. Kung kayat nasanay na akong nagdi-diactivate ng aking Facebook account para walang magpaalala sa kanila na kaarawan ko at dahil din doon halos taon-taon akong walang natatanggap na mga pagbati sa kanila maliban na lamang sa mga taong nakakaalam ng aking numero sa selpon.   Maaaring naiisip mo na napakalungkot ko naman na tao, na ‘di man lamang magawang mag-enjoy kahit sa pinakaimportanteng araw ng kanyang buhay. Hindi ko alam kung feeling mo ay napakawierd ko at napakaemotional. Pero nagkakamali po kayo. Sadyang pinipili ko lamang na maging tahimik ang aking kaarawan at kung maaari nga walang makaalam nito.   May mga pagkakataon noon ng nasa elementarya pa ako ay namamangha ako sa mga kamag-aral ko na dinadala ang kanilang mga handa sa paaralan tuwing kaarawan nila. Sobrang saya ko noon, siyempre dahil sa meron akong mga masasarap na pagkain na matitikman. At kapag kaarawan ko naman, masaya na akong ipanalangin sa unahan at ipagpasalamat ang aking buhay sa nagbigay nito.   Wala naman sa akin kung walang handa tuwing sasapit ang aking kaarawan ngunit hindi ko maikakaila na siyempre naghahangad din ako kahit isang simple na mapagsasaluhan din naman sana, pero dahil sa hindi nga kadalasan na aalala nila ay hanggang sa ngayon ay nasanay na akong hindi na lang magcelebrate nito.   Nariyan na nililibang ko na lamang ang aking sarili sa mga gawaing bahay at dahil alam ko na kaarawan ko, abay sinisipagan ko sa lahat ng aking gagawin. Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggagaling pero kung may anong eherhiya ang sumasapi sa akin at bigla-bigla na lamang akong nagsisipag. Ganito ko na lamang iniraraos ang aking kaarawan, na maging produktibo at para maging makabuluhan at higit sa lahat ang makalimutan ko papano na kaarawan ko pala.   Siguro ang isa sa pinakadahilan nito ay hindi ko kayang magdemand sa aking kinagisnang mga magulang ng mga bagay na alam ko naming hindi sa akin maibibigay. Bilang isang ampon ay ramdam ko parin yung pagkakaiba ng isang tunay na anak sa hindi. Na hindi ako maaaring maghangad ng mga bagay na kagaya nito at kung sakali man magpasalamat na lang ako dahil sa sinusuportahan nila ako mula ng maliit pa at hanggang ngayon ay sinusuportahan ang aking pag-aaral sa kolehiyo. Hindi rin ako mapaghangad sa mga bagay na alam kung hindi pa para sa akin.   Kagaya ng sinasabi ko na isang natural na araw lamang ang aking kaarawan. Naalala ko noon ng aking Ika-18 na kaarawan. Siyempre hindi parin naalala ng aking mga magulang na kaarawan ko at nakaplano na sana ako noon na magsimba dahil saktong tumapat sa araw ng Linggo. Ngunit sa kapareho din na araw ay ako pala ang magpapabiik sa aming alagang inahing baboy. Nakakatuwang isipin na sa araw ng aking kapanganakan ay magbibigay din ako ng buhay sa mga mumunting biik ng aming baboy. Nagsimula itong “mag-litson” (Bicol Dialogue) alas kuwatro ng madaling araw at natapos ang labing siyam na biik pasado alas dos na ng hapon. Mag-isa kung inalalayan ang inahin at dahil dito nagging masaya naman ako at ako’y nagging produktibo sa araw na iyon. Pero siyempre ala-ala ko parin yung lungkot ko dahil walang nakaalala na kaarawan ko din ng araw na iyon. Kaya nasa sa tao talaga kung papaano mo tatanggapin ang isang sitwasyon. Kung magiging malungkot ka ba sa mga pagkakataon na ganto o iisipin mo na lamang ang kabutihan ng Diyos sa buhay mo. Kung nagmumukmok na lamang ako at di magiging positibo sa mga bagay-bagay ay ako lang naman ang labis na mahihirapan. Ako lang naman ang magusu-suffer ng pagiging madamdamin ko. Kung kaya’t hindi ko na lamang ito, pinagtutuunan ng labis na pansin. Nagiging appreciative na lamang ako sa mga bagay na meron ako at hindi na naghahangad ng mga bagay na wala. Iniisip ko na lamang na sa tamang panahon na kaya ko na rin na ibigay sa aking sarli ay saka na lang. Sabi nga sa sikat na kasabihan, “Kapag maiksi pa ang kumot, matutulong mamaluktot, kapag lumapad at humaba saka na mag-unat-unat.”   Pero bukas ay hindi na ako kagaya ng dati na magdidi-activate pa sa aking Facebook, o aayaw na may makaalala ng aking kaarawan. Hindi na ako kagaya ng dati na iisipin na hindi espesyal ang aking kapanganakan. Dahil maynagturo sa akin na kailangan kung i-appreciate ang aking sarili, na kailangan kung magcelebrate. Dahil ang totoo, ito ay mahalaga at dapat na ipagpasalamat. Kasi sa panahon ngayon, lalong lalo na ngayong labis tayong aapektuhan ng pandemya at ito’y nagturo sa atin na pahalagahan ang buhay at huwag na pagpokus sa mga bagay na hindi magdudulot satin ng saya.   Ngayong gabi sa aking pagtulog ay hangad ko na lamang ang isang magandang umagang babati sa akin sa aking paggising. Isang umaga na ituturing kong tagumapay at biyaya  ng Diyos. Na sa araw na darating ay ipinanganak ang isang batang maynakalaang magandang kinabukasan at hinaharap, hindi lang para sa akin kundi para sa lahat ng mga taong naniniwala at nagmamahal sa akin.   **Isang Maligayang Pagbati sa para sa aking Kaarawan!** **Baka sakaling kanilang makalimutan…**

Sufferings that crushes faith **“They have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.” (Mark 4:17)** Ang pananampalataya ng iilan sa atin ay madaling nasisira na dapat sanay tumatag sa pagdaan ng pagsubok. Iilan saatin na nakarinig ng salita at tinanggap ito ay nakaranas ng galak ngunit sa pagdating ng pagsubok ay agad namang nalanta at gumuho. Kung kaya hindi lahat ng pagsubok o trials natin sa buhay ay makapagpapatatag sa ating pananampalataya. Minsan o kadalasan sa mga panahon na tinutupok nito ang ating pananampalataya, di tayo nagpakatatag kapatid, hinayaan natin na tupukin ng trials o pagsubok ang ating pananampalataya, ang pinakarason nito ay di tayo rooted sa Kanyang mga Salita. Gaya ng paradoxical words ni Jesus, “The one who has not, even what he has will be taken” (Mark 4:25). Itoy paalala sa atin that we needed to endure suffering nang may matatag na pananampalataya in God's future grace, upang tayo'y patuloy na lumago sa espirituwal na pamumuhay at nang ito'y di masayang lamang. Alam nating pinahihintulutan ni God ang mga pagsubok natin sa buhay na may pinakalayuning lumago tayo sa pamamagitan ng mga pagsupok na ito - see God's purpose kapatid. Keep the faith. If you think your suffering is pointless, or that God is not in control, or that he is whimsical or cruel, then your suffering will drive you from God, instead of driving you from everything but God — as it should. So, it is crucial that faith in God’s grace includes the faith that he gives grace through suffering. Pakatatandaan mo lamang na kasama mo ang Panginoon sa bawat oras ng buhay mo. He will never leave you and forsake you (Hebrews 13:5) - He is a God of His words. #**TeamJesus**

Journey Together – The Purpose Driven Life **Let’s journey together!** Today, will mark the start of our wonderful journey together as we unfold the *forty-day spiritual journey* that will enable us to discover the answer to life’s most important question: **What on earth am I here for?**  Probably you have already heard about this book that was written by Rick Warren, if not, I think you’re missing one of the most important things in this life. I’m a man in pursuit of knowing my purpose of existence, that’s why I wanted to have a copy of this book back then when I have heard it from one of my teachers in secondary school. She told us that upon reading this book, its unleashes her greatest potential to enjoy life even in moments that it seems to be unfair. Out of my curiosity, I have searched before electronic copies of it but then I am not fond of reading digitally references that is why I haven’t open the pdf file that shared to me by my discipler. Now that I have the book with me, with eagerness and grit I wanted to finish it from cover to cover, but without rushing. Good to know that it is planned for a forty-day spiritual journey where I could take time to pause and reflect my day through the teachings and with that I also wanted to share to all of you my journey and together we will make sure that it will be wonderful. You can also **share your insights in the comment** so we could better communicate and **talk the talk** we wanted to express. **So let’s talk about the reviews about this book!** **“The bestselling nonfiction hardback in history,”** according to Publishers Weekly. The Purpose Driven Life will help you understand why you are alive and reveal God’s amazing plan for you – both here and now and for eternity. Rick Warren will guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to life’s most important question: What on earth am I here for? Knowing God’s purpose for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give meaning to your life, and most important, prepare you for eternity. (The Purpose Driven Life – Rick Warren) Here are some reviews of the book of several journalist and prominent magazines:   *“Movie stars and political leaders aren’t the only ones turning to Rick Warren for spiritual guidance. Millions of people – from NBA and LPGA players to corporate executives to high school students to prison inmates – meet regularly to discuss The Purpose Driven Life*.”  **~ Time Magazine** *“The premise – that true purpose in life is found not in self-absorption but through faith in action - rings true… Warren’s message is unassailable.”* **~ Wall Street Journal** *“The epicenter of a spiritual showcase taking root across America… It is more than a book; it has become a movement.”* **~ ABC News** *“Rick Warren has a knack for giving people a sense of purpose when life can seem materialistic and meaningless.”* **~ Los Angeles Times**               I am full of joy to start this journey with you and with excitement in imparting God-given wisdom. Hope that we enjoy this journey together and be able to reflect and find our purpose. Add this to your prayer concerns and we may have a great start tomorrow!

No One Knows! ***‘’ I consider my existence as a plan… just like those in combat movies that have wars but victory prevails in the end. A plan that has a purpose, a goal to achieve and a battle to triumph’’.*** No one can decide how we must be born and no one knows who can we be in the future, yet we have the power and the will to choose our path throughout the course of our lives. No one cares to know that I am a product of abuse. **I live because of force**. It happened that I got into this world without love but with all *lust and evil plans*. You may don’t put a gut to ask that I have two siblings and we are all half in blood, silly right? Back then, **my biological mother got raped by my father**. It is because my mom is mentally challenged. A pity on me. Knowing that I exist because he insists. It is not a big deal to me anymore. I am used to it. I heared that story a million times, I even memorized every details as if I am really there watching everything. I understand it why? Even when I am just a small five year old boy, and I was thinking that it was just totally normal before. But there’s a lot of questions that doesn’t vanished in my mind and keep on bothering me up until now, that… what if I have a normal family just like of my friends? Who I always look up to? What if I have a mother and father with me –biologically? What if it’s true? May I be happy? Satisfy? Of course, yes! That is what I always dreamed of every time I close my eyes. I will be so happy if that wish of mine will be granted. But for now I am glad to say that I have a true and loving family with me which I share in love and affection under same roof. A place called home. That is the story of my life, which is just a part of a complex puzzle. A maze that I will continue to chase and embark unforgettable voyage. You may be thinking why I see my life this way? You may be asking questions how I positively respond in my struggles in life. That is because there is someone I trusted my life from dusk ‘till dawn. It started in just a simple gathering –**Bible Study**, followed by a series of it. There I found peace and enjoyment. I make friends with my fellow attendees, play with them and have fun. I also consider at first in joining, that there is food that will full my stomach and most I like is that there will be a scholarship that will be given which will help me continue my studies and it is also my parents' purpose that’s why they sent me. At first, that is my vision. I was just six. I just follow orders. Orders that my parent told me to do. As I continue to attend bible study I found myself enjoying it. Singing Christian songs… *‘’The love of Jesus, Sweet and wonderful…’’ “Be brave, be strong, the Lord your God is with you…..”* and a lot more that reminded me how really I am destined to attend. Our Sunday school teacher let us memorize **John 3:16**, which I really love because I am the first to recite it in front. That memory verse which really change me a lot. Not that fast, but from glory to glory, God is shaping me. In that verse I am really blessed that apart that I am a sinner and my life was not that kind to be proud of there is Jesus who saved me from that hopeless situation and let me rise up again through His life that shed on the cross. I always thank those Sunday school teachers who teach us and never hinder us the truth. That I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I thank our church leaders who wholesomely share God grace in our community. **A little boy, that is left behind by the world have just found his refuge in the arms of Christ.** No matter where family do we came from, no matter how rude the situation we are in and no matter blur our life was before, God will always use an instrument to let us out of the darkness. It doesn’t matter what your vision in life was, because in the long run if you just let Jesus live in your heart and follow Him faithfully, your vision will be convert into God’s vision. I am not shock of what was the reason why it happened so easy for me to accept the kind of family I came from because He told me then, I am His friend, I am not His servant and it touches me most that I am His son. God let me run into His courts with praises in my lips. He let me freed from burden and He even carries me when I feel loaded with bugs that mock my way. He shields me and protects me in my battles and let me conquer it all. ***‘’ I consider my existence as a plan… just like those in combat movies that have war but victory prevails at the end. A plan that has a purpose, a goal to achieve and a battle to triumph’’.*** **Only God knows.** **Ps. Good day everyone!** This is how I wanted to introduce my self❤️ It's been a year since read dot cash was introduced to me but I always consider my self as amateur and I cannot consider that I am a writer yet because I did not publish any book but hoping to have one. Probably you have already read my story before in this platform with the account name @luhajuan , yes! your correct that is my first account here in read dot cash. The reason why I created another account is that I want to focus in a certain purpose and that purpose is creating articles that are gospel bounded and hoping to reach people in this platform just how God really work in my life. There are a lot more that I want to share to all of you, that's why let's end it here! Hope you'll support me and may you be blessed wherever you are right now! This is @JuanDisipulo - Your Christian Writer! ...................................................................................... **To All Who Supports Thank You so much!** ......................................................................................
