How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace, I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

"I shall but love thee better after death."....

Then it was a night filled with chit chat. => That night I saw grace in each others lives. Grace's testimony- "Power jud si Lord ani!" ..she would keep on saying. And true to her word, God really moved powerfully in her life. "Lord, asa kaha

"Magpaubos"

" 1 Abram was ninety-nine years old when the LORD appeared to him again and said, "I am God All-Powerful. If you obey me and always do right, 2 I will keep my solemn promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted." 3 Abram bowed with his face to the ground, and God said: 4-5 I promise that you will be the father of many nations. That's why I now change your name from Abram to Abraham. [ a ] 6 I will give you a lot of descendants, and in the future they will become great nations. Some of them will even be kings. 7 I will always keep the promise I have made to you and your descendants, because I am your God and their God." Genesis 17:1-7 "Magpaubos" or be humbled down. My constant message to me last Sunday and Monday. As I was reading my Devotional, I saw how Abraham responded to God's Promise by kneeling and bowing face down. It's an illustration that when we come to God in prayer, we should come with humility or humbled d
