  Thanks @kkbcalamba for this tweet.

If you can't stop thinking about someone, that means he or she is so special to you. (Uy, may kinikilig) Eh pa'no kapag yung "the One" na laging nasa isip mo ay nasa isip ka rin at never kang nawala sa isip Niya? Yup. Never. Not even once! (Ay, lalong kinilig!) 'Di ba mas nakakatuwa yun? Ganyan ka-sweet si Lord.

Sabi sa 1 Corinthians 13:3, "No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love." True enough, the verse said it well. We cannot genuinely give without love. We cannot persevere through pain without love. And we cannot think of someone non-stop without love. All is worthless without it - because through it, all became worthy. Gaya na lang ng pagmamahal ng Diyos para sa atin na siyang naging dahilan kung bakit tayo umiibig.  Take a look at 1 John 4:19, nandun yun. Promise.

Dahil nga we're so special to God, we're always in His mind. At kasi we're always in His mind, we're close to His heart. And because we're close to His heart,  He lets us experience His Presence, His power, His magnificence, His grace, His mercy, His abundance, His might, His glory, His wisdom, His strength, and the list could reach forever (baka dumating na si Lord nandito pa din ako kaya OK na muna yan). Yan si Jesus. O 'di ba, san ka pa?!

He gave us everything, so what can we give Him back? Our everything, too. And, by the way, He wants "every thing" in our everything.  Mark 12:30 says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." With all your mind daw, kaya I second the motion sa tweet na featured dito. We must train ourselves to always remember that He is around. Always.

So, what are we waiting for? Tara na! Let's spread His love! Saya kaya. Try mo!

Thank you kay @secjoelv para sa tweet na ito.

I agree with Sec. Joel. Indeed, God is far more than a genie. There's no doubt about it! Why? It is because He is not limited to only three wishes. Sabi nga ni Jesus sa John 14:13-14, “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” So yung “whatever” at “anything” ang dalawang salita na nagpapatunay na He is not limited. O di ba, saan ka pa? But it will all be possible in His name alone and that what makes Him “far more than a genie.” But wait there’s more!

Perhaps you may have asked yourself, “Ano naman ang meron sa Jeremiah 33:3? Anong kaugnayan nun sa “3 wishes per second” na sinabi ni Sec. Joel?” Here’s what the Lord said in that verse, “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

Nakita mo ba yung three “granted” wishes? The first wish, “Call to me.” Who wouldn’t “wish” to confidently call on Him? Siguro naman wala. The second wish, “I will answer you.” This is what we always ask for before the Lord, we always “wish” His response. And the third wish, “and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” Who wouldn’t “wish” fresh revelations from the Lord? These three are His promises and they are already given even before you “wish” for them.

But how about the “per second?” You can absolutely say “Jeremiah 33:3” in three seconds. Claim the promises of God in this verse, it’s yours!

Ang lahat ng labi ay magsabi na, “#akoangtinig na maghahayag ng mga pangako ng Diyos!”

Salamat Jennifer Furigay (@jennotfur) sa iyong tweet!

This actually reminds me of a song from Casting Crowns entitled “If We Are The Body”. The chorus of the song poses a radical challenge to us believers. In Tagalog: tamaan, sapul. (Joke.)

  But if we are the body

Why aren't His arms reaching?

Why aren't His hands healing?

Why aren't His words teaching?

And if we are the body

Why aren't His feet going?

Why is His love not showing them there is a way?

There is a way

  We tag ourselves to be the body of Christ, yet more often than not, we fail to perform our functions as body parts. Minsan, di na nga natin mai-perform ang ating functions, ang dami pa nating mga palusot. Ang bilis mangalay ni kamay. Masakit at namimitig agad si paa. Nanghihina ang mga kasu-kasuan. Aba iba na yan, mag-Flanax ka!

Sabi ni J.I. Packer, “The task of the church is to make the invisible kingdom visible through faithful Christian living and witnessing”. Hindi natin nakikita ang literal kingdom ni God, hindi din natin naririnig ang mismong tinig Niya. Pero sa papaanong paraan ba natin Siya nakilala? Hindi ba dahil may mga ginamit Siyang tinig na magsalita? Mga kamay na umabot? Mga paang naglakad para marating tayo?

God doesn’t need us, yet He wanted us to take part in His glorious plan to save humanity. He chose you and me for this mission, kaya walang Christian na vestigial structure. (Naks, anatomy). God doesn't count one insignificant kahit feeling mo maliit lang ginagampanan mong role sa ministry. 

“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.“ (1 Corinthians 12:27).

So never say na hindi ka importante kasi “kuko” ka lang. Tandaan mo, ‘pag natuklap ang kuko mo ewan ko lang di mapabalikwas sa sakit ang buo mong katawan. We belong to the same head which is Christ; therefore we must be unified in Him and through Him to accomplish the great mission He has entrusted us.

So ano pang inaantay natin? Galaw-galaw na! Iunat na natin ating ang katawan at wag ng magtamad-tamaran. Let us be the body that Christ wants us to be. At kung feeling mo hindi ka pa handa, don’t forget that He has actually armed us with His Sword, gaya nga ng sabi ng ating nag-tweet. O di ba, chosen ka na, equipped ka pa!
