"If I have not Loved.."

1 Corinthians 13:1-3:

" ¹ If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. ³ If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;^[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing."

This is my devo for today. I put it an my blog as an entry because it really broke me. It broke me inside because lately it's been becoming busy in the Ministry. My week would be packed with winning, consolidating people and discipling the leaders. Sunday Service here. PEPSOL there. Cell here. And this verse was like an eyeopener to me. I might be lost in all of the work and I would forget that "if I have not Loved' it is all for Nothing.

So this morning and even tonight as I let the Words sink in, makaiyak ako. Yes. I'm trying to write this blog entry crying. I don't know why. Just struck me so much that my heart is very overwhelmed for my Prince.

I am once again reminded, that even if I speak so many times for God, if i have not loved, I am like a clanging cymbal or gong. That even how many times God would reveal to me His plans and have not loved, it's all for nothing. And even if I could give to God my life, and have not love, I have gained nothing. God reminded me that all that I am doing is for Love.

Love for God. Love of God. Love By God.
Love for People. Love of People. Love by People.
Passion for God. Compassion for People.

Yes. Now it's another understanding of the ministry's purpose here in Kabacan. Whatever I am doing, let me do it Papa with love for you and with love for people. I finally have the true essence of ministry. It's not easy to raise up leaders but it's really worth it. My leaders here are people, you have to love them, consolidate them constantly, guide them and most of the time encourage them (pinepersecute lage eh.). Kaya in a day i should always be affirmed and encouraged. Nganu man? Kay most of the time I'm the one affirming them.. jejeje..not the usual na nakasanayan ko sa Davao before I got sent out. But you know what? I'm Loving it!! This leaders before they became my leaders they ARE my Friends, Sisters, Brothers, Mother, Father.

Love. Love. Love. The kind of love that is written in 1Cor.13:4-8.
The kind of love that despite of moments of frustrations, you learn patience.
The kind of love that when you see them grow in God, malabawan ka o dili, malipay ka. You grow proud of them like parents for there children.
The kind of love that you can't demand anything from them, but understand them always. Endearing nalang sya!!jajaja..
The kind of love that makes u laugh instead of becoming irritable.
The kind of love that even how many times u make mistakes, like God, they don't keep any records of it and simple forgive and forget.
The kind of love that makes u hopeful, never losses faith and supportive.
And the love that endures all things and never fails.

Lalalalaalove...Thank you for the love Lord. I am loving all that I am doing Father..

To God Be the Glory- My Testimonial During the Youth Reload last Friday- May 13, 2011 was a night filled with music, dance, laughter and even tears for the One and Only Star in our Lives- God. BCC was once again filled with so many young people, there are lots of “VIPs” and also the “Many Timers”- I’m one of them. I’ve been coming to BCC for almost 2 months now. After my Encounter, my passion to go through these events increased and going to BCC is already part of my Weekly schedule. But that night was different. Our Network-Eagurlz and the Arios Knights were the sponsors for the YR’s program. It was different because I was not just there to watch but to be watched. We were called “Las Chicas Agilas” and we danced Stacie Orrico’s “I could be the one”. But before the dance, there was one part were someone wil

Missing someone(s) right now. So I'll write right now. Di mo man ako pansinin, Ibaliwala ang pagsuyo at pagtingin, Basta huwag mo laging kalimutan, Ikaw ay nasa aking mga panalangin. Di kita tatantanan o bibitawan, Makita ko lang ang inaasam na pagbabago. Mawala na ang inyong lumang pagkatao, At maghari ang Buhay ni Kristo! Ngayong araw, ikaw ay nasa aking mga dasal, Alam mo man o Hindi, Ako'y nananabik para sa iyo. Hanggang sa makita kang muli. Sa aking harap at sa iyong tabi. English Translation: You might not notice me now, Don't mind my persuasion and affection. Just don't always forget, You are always in my prayers. I will not leave you alone or let you go, Until I finally see the change for you I've longed for. That your old you be gone, And see the life of Christ in you! Today, You are in my prayers, You might know or not, I am longing for you, Until I finally see you again. Face to face and by your side.

“Restless? Be STILL”

See the picture? That’s our University field. It’s so vast for me even I’ve seen it almost my whole life. Growing up inside the campus, growing up seeing all of these for 22 years, I still never get use to these. Masarap mag senti sa mga lugar na ito. Maaliwalas, tahimik at malawak- kasing lawak ng imagination ko. Peace. Lately, I’ve been struggling with peace. Heart. Mind. Body. Soul. Whenever I see this vastness I would dream again. That God would fill this with so many young people that will worship Him, give their lives to Him. And you know what? It excites me. And scares me. It makes me happy. And makes me nervous. Maybe it’s just really part of my personality. As Kabacan Ministry is taking off- Sunday services and open cells, my list of goals and dreams also increases. It’s not a bad thing- having goals are all important so that you would know if we really are progressing. “But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.” Phil3:16. Since all of these are happening,
