Against All Odds

     The more you nurture the relationship with God, the more you love the service God has entrusted to you. The more also you embrace the sacrifice and bear every pain you can receive along that journey.  Being called to serve ultimately reveals God’s plan in your life surprisingly. Jesus did not only overcome those tribulations because He is the son of God, but because of God’s will and grace, He knew that being crucified is the defeat of the enemy and the salvation of the humanity.  How willing am I to continue and follow His journey even in the midst of worst circumstances? Isn't it amazing that the little sacrifice we do is worth it when we finish the spiritual battle with God on our side? Let the battle continue…no retreat, no surrender!

The Best of Life

              I live only once in this world but the world have given me thousand opportunities to live that life significantly. Seldom do I see living by myself. I always want to spend every single day with the people around me. Then, at one moment I have just realized that I am still alone, even if I was already in the crowd of people.  At the deepest of my inner self is a longing for something unexplainable. Something that is unreachable, unknown.    
         All of us for sure have its different longings, dreams that we want to pursue. Whatever it is, it will always be temporary. Because living on earth is just a part of our existence. Reaching one of those may fulfill one’s satisfaction or a realization for a greater purpose. I have just recalled the days I have started to fulfill my goals and dreams were also moments I missed so many chances. Yes, I was blinded by the comfort and freedom it had provided. It maybe had put me into the pedestal of success, yet, pulled me away from the most valuable people and memories. I enjoyed for a short time the luxuries this world had offered. But I carry the agony of the destruction it had brought to my soul until now.   
   I recognized the lessons brought to me by the past. Though wounded in this journey, I am still hoping that someday, the long lost me will find its meaning in life.  I just don’t know how and when. This gives me the reason to live each new day like a newly- born baby whose life is significant to all. To live in this world is a never-ending search of meaning and purpose not until one can learn to live that life significantly everyday.
