What Does Our Hand Tells Us

The thumb, being the biggest of our fingers represents God and the index finger represents us – man. Long time ago, man got separated from God’s love because of sin that is why as you can see, our index finger is far away from our thumb.  It shows us how away we are from our God. After the separation, man tried to live a contented life away from God but failed to have it. There is always missing in their lives. What’s missing? Well, obviously, GOD. Man was not created to be away from Him. The purpose of man’s creation was to please God and having been separated from his purpose, man became weary, violent, liar, lonely and incomplete. In order to fill in what’s lacking, man find ways to bring his self back to God. Man go to church, help others, became good with their families, in short, man does good works in order to bring his self back to Him. But it was said, for all have sinned and fall short in the glory of God, no matter what man does, it’s still not enough, he still can’t reach God and it saddens man so much. On the brighter side, God loves His creation so dearly, He can’t take it seeing them waste their lives, so God made a very huge act to save His people. The middle finger, being the tallest of the fingers represents this huge act that God made. What’s this act? It was said, for God so love the world that He gave His only begotten son that those whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have an eternal life. In order to save man, God sent His only begotten son. But with this act comes an offer, a proposal, like a man proposes a woman for marriage and puts a ring on her ring finger, God also gives a proposal to man that whoever believes (just believe) in Him (His son), will not perish but will have an eternal life. And what man could do? Very simple and very small like our tiniest finger, just believe and accept Jesus as his Lord and personal saviour. Just believe and accept Him wholeheartedly and voila, man is saved.
 

Very easy, right? So, after reading this, I’d like you to know that God is proposing to you saying, “I have sent my Son for your salvation, will you accept Him?”. 

STAY GROUNDED

             I’m a one step closer to reaching one of my endeavors in life. As of the moment, I am reviewing for a board exam. Yes, I am chemical engineer in the making. God knows how badly I want to pass, however, there is one thing I am afraid to happen.

See, I grew having lots of expectations from people around me, though it’s such a pain, it makes me feel so proud whenever they congratulate me to every success I have. However, the more “congratulation” I get, the more proud I become. This is what I am being afraid of. I don’t wanna lose myself and get drowned in the sea of success. We are all human, and I guess, this is one of traits human being has – boastful. I owe everything to God and I it scares me that one day, I’ll forget him and become so much in love with myself and with the luxuries of success.

Who doesn't want to get rich? Who doesn't want to be famous? Who doesn't want to be a well-respected person? Who doesn't want to succeed? Everybody does, however, as for me, if I succeed but lose myself in the process, I’d rather die unsuccessful.

Right now, I am pleading to God that He may grant my wish and that is to become a REGISTERED CHEMICAL ENGINEER and be able to practice in my field of expertise. But this plea comes with a condition that He would always disturb me and reminds me to remain grounded in everything I achieve. That in every success I acquire, all praises, honor and recognition would ALWAYS go to Him.  IT’S NOT BAD TO WANT TO SUCCEED, WHAT’S BAD IS TO FORGET THE ONE WHOM WE OWE OUR SUCCESS WITH.
WORK HARD, SUCCEED BUT REMAIN GROUNDED. With this, God will always bless you with greater things than you couldn't possibly imagine.

 1 PETER 5:6

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.                        

Mr. RIGHT

It's been a hard quest for us girls to find the perfect man whom we'll entrust our whole being with. For us, as much as possible, we want a perfect man. One who is strong, courageous, smart, loving, caring, understanding, God fearing, gentle and handsome inside out. But as of our generation today, it's hard to find a man who possess even just three of those characteristics that we want him to have. It's like finding a needle among the bushes.

I've been thinking lately, how may I able to find Mr. Perfect? I don't wanna grow old alone. I wanna find him. I'm already 19 and a couple of years from now, I will be graduating college and I want that as soon as I have finished taking my board exam, I will start finding him. Enough already for those self control, I will start to open my heart to any man. Yeah, I know, true love waits. But how long will I be waiting? I want to be in a relationship with my perfect  man for at least five years before marrying and give my whole self to him. I don't want to commit a mistake. I already have done once and once is enough. I will not fall to the wrong one again.

They say, we need to experience something in order for us to learn, but for me, as much as possible, I want to learn it from other's experiences. I may not have enough experiences, but I know, I already have enough lessons learned from the experiences of my friends. And one of those lessons is that there really is no Mr. Perfect, only Mr. Right. The right one that God had been thinking when He had created us. One whom we cannot stop our self from loving with and when we see him, we can say that we're willing to ignore all other handsome and perfect guys around us. He may not possess all the characteristics we want him to have, yet, we still love him.

As of now, I have not found him yet, but when I find him, I promise that I will never let go of him.

Funny

It's funny how the person I hate so much before is the one I'm in love with right now.

The person who always gives me an irritated face is one who makes me smile.

The person whom I want to lose out of my sight is the one I wanna see so badly.

The person I don't wanna talk to is the one I've been exchanging silly and nonsense jokes.

It's just so funny how the person I don't wanna get near before is the same person I wanna spend the rest of my forever.

My parents may not that old compared to the video, but eventually, they will soon. This video has touched my heart so much. It made me realize how short the time we have on earth and with that, we need to use that time wisely. While it's not too late, let's show our love and care to our parents.
