"Hold on to your Faith and Never Lose Hope!"

Do you love God? Do you really love Him? How can you prove that you really love Him? What if He didn't answer your prayers in a way to wanted? Won't you be disappointed to Him? Would you still trust in Him?

Hello there my dear read.cash fam! How are you doin' right now? How's life? How's your health and financial state? I hoped you're still doing awesome things amidst our current situation. And please, don't forget to take care of yourself, okay!?

For today's blog, I will share another sort of story or let's just say an enlightenment for us, that surely can change our perspectives in life, especially for ourselves, the personal thing. I know, I am not a typical type of writer that fond of sharing something like this, but, I will do the best I can to share to you about the topic that I am going to tackle for today's article.

Yesterday, I am really Blessed! First thing in the morning, I prayed to the Lord for another day of my life, for giving me another day to experience, both good and bad things in life and that hopefully I can finish writing and to be able to publish two (2) articles, and make the day productive. And it really happened! One more thing, I also visited my noise.cash account, and I hit more than 500 subscribers already. "What a blessing!" (Share ko lang)

Before I decided to publish the second article for that day, which I published around 6 pm last night, I went into my Tiktok account and watched lots of videos. And then suddenly, I came across a Tiktok content from "@_faith_hope_love_1". Upon reading the message of that content, I can't helped myself but cry a bit, for it really hit me. And it goes like this;

Kaya we praise God for "UNANSWERED PRAYERS".

Nagpapasalamat tayo kay Lord, madalas hindi ginagawa nang Diyos.

You prayed for healing, the person died.

You prayed for pumasa ka, bumagsak ka.

You prayed and you claim na ma deal mo yung business, na makuha mo yung dapat, hindi nangyari.

This is the reason why many are disappointed, to God.

"Bakit po siya disappointed?" Kasi pag meron tayong gusto, hindi nangyari. Nag pray ka na sana matuloy, hindi nangyari. Nag-ho-hope ka kinabukasan, sana maibigay na sa akin, pero hindi nangyari. Then you are disappointed, and then sinisisi mo si Lord, biniblame mo Siya.

Ang dahilan kasi, kilala mo lang ang Diyos sa kaya Niyang gawin. Pero pagka-kilala mo talaga ang Diyos, dapat kilala mo rin ang Diyos sa hindi Niya gagawin.

At ito pa, mahal ko ang Diyos, mahal mo rin ang Diyos sa kaya Niyang gawin. Pero ito ang pinakamatindi, mas minamahal ko ang Diyos sa mga bagay na hindi Niya ginagawa sa akin. And because of that, I've learned the true meaning of "TRUST".

"Naniniwala ako sayo Panginoon, hindi dahil sa gagawin Mo, at nagtitiwala pa rin ako sayo Lord, kahit hindi mo gawin, kasi mas alam Mo ang hindi BETTER, ang alam mo ay ang BEST."

Alam mo, ang hinihintay lang naman nang Diyos ay ang sabihin mo, "Panginoon, I still trust You, I still love You, I will still pray, I will still worship, and I will still serve, kahit hindi mo ibigay. Ang mahalaga, Ikaw ang mahalaga sa buhay ko."

After watching and reading the whole message of that Tiktok content. I saved it and shared it in my Facebook. One of the reasons why I still fond on staying in Tiktok because I found lots of enlightenment in there. Aside from the entertainment, I also been able to get lots of life lessons, especially words of wisdom, through watching those contents about the Gospel and about God.

As I was saying, "Do you love God?"

I kept on saying I love God, especially because as far as I know, He gave me the things I asked to Him.

"Do I really love God?"

Honestly speaking, I turned away from God for many times before. Yes! I really do. Its something personal, but one thing is for sure, I AM VERY BLESSED AND THANKFUL, for HE SAVED ME, for HE FORGAVE ME, and I AM ACCEPTED, "AGAIN". I remembered the time when I am still looking for a job, because I didn't able to join in the last year's teachers' rankings. The thing is, I already prepared all the documents needed for that job I applied for. "Kung hindi man matanggap, may iba na palang na-hired. At kung matanggap man, hindi rin nagtagal, nag-re-resign din." I am disappointed not just to myself, but I also blamed God. I questioned Him,

"Why is this happening?"

"Why me, Lord?"

I just waited for a couple of months, and I've got a good news. The New Hiring for Teacher I position was opened for those who are willing to apply for it. I paused for a while, let myself be calm, and then I looked above saying to the Lord, "THANK YOU!" For that very reason, I thanked Him because maybe I am fated to become a Teacher. Actually, I already shared in here about my journey when I was still taking up this field. I didn't hope to become one, to become a Teacher, because I didn't imagine myself standing in front of the people, to students, specifically. But, when I finished taking up the Board Examination for Teachers, I almost prayed everyday and night, hoping that I can pass that Exam in just one take. And it really did happened. I PASSED!

I realized, "kaya siguro hindi ako natanggap or nagtagal sa trabahong yun kasi, hindi yun ang nakatadhana para sa'kin." Yes, I really said that to myself. That when I heard about the new hiring was opened, I didn't hesitate to apply and joined in the rankings, even though I didn't have much experience. "Isa din kasi sa requirements for the rankings ang experience mo sa field of teaching." Pero, I followed what my cousins said to me. I should try. And yes, I did. Not just my luck, but I bet my fate in this field. And still hold on to my faith, hoping that I will be hired. Let me be greedy a bit, I want to be hired as soon as possible. "But, if ever man na hindi ako matanggap, (Please matanggap sana!) aaminin ko na talaga ngayon, magiging disappointed talaga ako. Hindi ko nalang din talaga isisiksik yan sa utak ko, kasi I still hold on to my faith."

As I was about to end this blog, let me said this you my dear friends, "We should learn to wait for our turn." Honestly, "atat na ako na makapasok sa DepEd," but I am still hold on to my faith and wait for my turn for that calling. I just instilled in my mind, "kung para sa akin ang field na 'to, mangyayari na magiging akin ito." I already proved how great our Lord God is. "Dun palang sa pagkapasa ko sa Board Exams, diba? Pa'no ba kaya kung mangyari na makapasok na ako sa DepEd?"

Because of Him, I am blessed. I am saved. I am accepted. I am holding on to faith and hoping. Masasabi ko ba na, I really love God? Yes! I really do. Masasabi ko ba na, mahal ako nang ating Panginoon? Yes! Yes! Yes! In the sense, na kahit ilang beses ako'ng nag-failed sa maraming bagay, at pagkakataon sa buhay ko, hindi Niya ako pinabayaan. Na kahit maraming akong prayers that still unanswered and left unanswered, kahit papa'no, marami pa ding ako'ng rason para i-praise Siya, pasalamatan Siya. Kasi iniisip Niya kung ano ang makakabuti para sa'kin, sa atin. Kaya sabi nga diba, "He knows not the better, but the BEST!"

Please feel free to check out the works of these awesome people. They really are a great writers!❣️
