I am a Child of God

Jasmine B. Suiza / July 3, 2019

 When I've had enough for the day,
'You are loved', I heard you say.
When things don't go my way,
You remind me to wait and pray.
When I'm lost and far away,
You are still there to stay.

 Worries and fears keep me up all night,
But You showered me with Your light.
Bruised and wounded through this fight,
But You affirmed me it will be alright.
Sins of the past may blind my sight,
But You've forgiven me to make things right.

 How beautiful and great is Your name,
You freed me from my sins and shame.
My life will never be the same,
Since the day Your love came.
'I am a child of God' I will proclaim,
Loving and serving You will be my aim.

I sometimes have this mentality that "I sin every day, why confess?" or "Our God is merciful, He will love me even if I am a sinner." . This thinking led me to more venial sins, and somehow blinded my perception of this sacrament. My misconception was changed during one of the formation talks that I heard

Man's Rejection is God's Redirection

Jasmine B. Suiza Naranasan mo na bang ma-reject? Ma-shutdown? Maiwan? Hindi ka normal kung palaging pabor sa'yo ang buhay. Life may sometimes be unfair. Yung ginawa mo naman ang best mo, pero tila palagi ka pa ring, gaya ng sabi ng kanta: "...Luhaan, sugatan, di mapakinabangan..." Masakit. Sa tuwing mararanasan ko ang rejection, nagbabalik ako sa pagtatanong. "Saan ba ako nagkamali?" "May ginawa nga ba akong tama?" "Lord, bakit?" There are facts of life that are far beyond our human hearts and minds to comprehend. Kahit paulit-ulit kong intindihin ay hindi ko makuha ang sagot. Whenever I start to dwell on painful events, I remind myself about the Lord's message through Romans 8:18: "The pain that you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming." For sure, God's plans are FAR BETTER than our plans. We just have to surrender our doubts, f
