Is Tatay dead?

Why do you leave me with questions? Questions after questions after questions…. The asking is as un-filling as the answers, As though pouring water on a holed cauldron. How can I believe? And yet, how can I not believe? How can unhappy dreams and painful reality marry, Making the past never again to be retrieved? One night, that sharp razor came to slice my heart; It came the night next, and treaded the old wound’s path again. Am I to blame then should I choose not to lie down Lest I die, drowned in tears and searing pain? What a dark, dark path this is! Darker than the darkest of nights perhaps, Deeper than the deepest Mariana’s ocean…. How can I then stop asking, with sighs and gasps? Were I to plead for what-ifs and could-have-beens, The pain, the wound, still wouldn’t mend… Much less the thought of future hope, a mere flicker, A leap of faith to unknown’s end. How many more sighs? How many more tears? How many more groans of surrender Uttered b...

Man has end, God is unending

Isaiah 40:6-8 says, " All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever. " This passage strongly reminds us of the futility of man’s life, and the everlasting nature of God’s Word. And this should lead us to ask important questions, like how do we spend our lives everyday? What kind of things are we pursuing on? Are they things that would have impact in eternity? Let’s always bear in our minds and our hearts that our life is just very short. It may be later today, tomorrow, or who knows when, we will die. And so we should be sure whether we’re making the most of our lives here on earth, and in doing so, will it benefit us even in eternity. In the Christian perspective, we believe that Jesus Christ offers us this eternal life for every one of us, aft...

Potential starts within

Sometimes, we tend to look at things or persons through their outward appearance. What we fail to see is that these items or people could hold so much potential that we just don’t know about, because of our prejudices. But, do you know that God sees us in a totally different perspective? There is a related biblical account to that. There was one ordinary, and probably rugged-looking fisherman in the first century time, who became one of the strongest pillars of the Christian faith. And I believe many could identify that that is Peter. One day, Jesus approached him after he finished from his fishing job, and told him that his name, which was previously Simon, would be changed to Peter, which means the rock, and that one day he would be living up to the strength of his new name. Whether Jesus saw something in Peter, or He granted him the capacity to become what he told him, the fact still remained that Simon Peter’s great potentials was revealed because of Christ. And the good news is th...
