If you want to be happy then cry. Maybe it sounds funny if you you will heard it because its seems a contrary word but as like Solomon said in Ecclesiastes7:3 , Sorrow is better than laughter. I heard this word for the first when I was attending worship service in Victory fort and Im confused with the phrase because sorrow is better than laughter? Why? It is good to be in sorrow than to be happy? Then the passage continue, for by the countenance , the heart is made better. What a lovely passage right? As a person struggling with anxiety and experiencing challenges today I can really feel the message of this passage.
Lets think of this scenario. When people experience different problems in life it also manifested the way they act, talk and also in their facial expression that they are sad and they are having a problem but if we will try to think about the teaching of the bible or the word of God you will be glad and yes , I am a living proof that my heart is now glad even if I am experiencing anxiety and trials because I learned yesterday to be rejoice and be partakers of the sufferings of Christ.
Lets read John 15:19 , If you where on the world , the world will love his own but because youre not from the world but I chose you not to belong on the world therefore the world hated you. Remember the word that I said to you , the servant is not greater than his Lord. If they persecuted me then they will persecute you also.
Do we need to feel happy if people persecuted you or throw different words against you? Ofcourse we will feel sad when we received those kind of words and sometimes you will even cry because it hurts you know. But the Lord said , Always remember his words “ You are a servant and I am the Lord. Just think of this , I am the Lord but yet they persecuted me how much more a servant like you.
So why we need to be glad? If you are persecuted by people it means that you are a servant of the Lord because I was persecuted like Him. Sometimes its better to be sad that always laughing. Let put it in this way , my goodness. I am teary eyed while typing this. In this world theres no typhoon that will lasted for a thousand years. After the typhoon, the sun will shine and you smiled because finally you saw the sunshine. If you are always laughing, why would you expect? Time will come that maybe those smile will turn to tears but if feel the sadness, you can trust the Lord that after those sadness is a laughter.
In Matthew 5:11, Jesus Christ said, we are blessed if we are being revile and persecuted because of me. Rejoice and be glad for the reward in heaven is great. We should always keep in mind that maybe now theres a sorrow, just endure it and beautiful and great things will come from heaven. Then when the time comes Im sure you will be happy.
Good morning guys because it's midnight now but supposedly it's going to publish nightime but I fell asleep and wake to at 3 AM. Another article about bible that will lift up my spirit. I am not in a mood to think of a topic as I want to okay and back on track like what I used too but my mind and my heart are looking for something that can make me calm and positive. And yeah , I find myself watching this kind of video again and while as I watching the video I realized that I need this kind of routine so that I am always reminded on about the word and promises of God. I admit that I am spiritually thirsty because I am not attending worship service since I gave birth to my son. We attended sometimes but not all the time especially now its pandemic and kids needs to be stay at home.
I also want to share this to you , I am not able to post it in noise last night , so last night my husband and I prayed together. You know what its been a couple of months since we prayed together , its last April when my son got sicked and I am guilty because just because we were challenged now we remember to prayed together though I prayed by myself but you know the spiritual relationship between me and my husband.
Can able to proofread this. Maybe I will changed my routine for the time of writing my article.
Me? Kapag mabigat talaga feeling ko, iiiyak ko nang patago. Minsan dahil sa sunod-sunod na activities sa acads. Kaya ko naman i-handle pero may times lang na parang pagod ako kaya during this times, magbabasa ako ng stories na nakakaiyak para mailabas ko tapos maya-maya lang? Ayun, okay na ako. Feeling ko recharged na naman ako tapos nawala mga negativity sa palaigid. Well, 'di naman ako problemadong tao pero may times lang talaga na gusto kong ilabas mga negative energies sa katawan ko and that's through crying.
