Proverbs 20:22

Don’t try to get even. Trust the LORD, and he will help you.

When dealing with people you hate, try to change them positively with the power of God and with the power of your own love. Turn them into people you could like by changing your mind about them. They are not likable, alright, but why don’t you change your mind about them and teach yourself to like them and to find things that you could like about them?

You can do this by doing something good to them. People have spirits, we have souls, we react to good things being done to us. Huwag gumanti sa masama. Huwag gantihan ng masama ang masama dahil gagantihan ka nya uli ng mas masama and you will never get out of this cycle. But break the cycle of evil will and bad relationship with something good. When you start doing good to people, you begin to dislike them less and less. You even begin to like them more and more. This is why the Lord prescribes na gumawa ka ng mabuti sa hindi gumagawa ng mabuti sa iyo. Malaki ang pagkakataong sila’y magbago at bumuti sa iyo. At kung hindi man sila magbago sa paggawa mo ng mabuti sa kanila, ikaw ang mababago. Doing good to others changes them, but more than that, it changes you. Magsisimula kang magkaroon ng simpatiya, magkakaroon ka ng amor, magkakaroon ka ng malasakit hanggang mamahalin mo na yung tao.

ALISIN ANG BITTERNESS

Ephesians 4:31

Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others…

Do not harbor bitterness about your situation or that of your loved ones. Yung iba, may bitterness sa kanilang kapansanan at kakulangan. “Bakit kaya ako ipinanganak na kulot? Hindi tuloy ako makuhang model ng shampoo.” Puede ka namang maging model ng panghuli ng insekto. Kasi pag may pumasok na salagubang sa ulo mo, hindi na makakalabas. Wala pa lang ng ganung produkto kaya hindi ka pa nagiging model. Maghintay ka lang. “Bakit kaya ipinanganak akong mahirap?”, “Bakit ako maraming peklat?” “Bakit ako ganito, ganun?” Bitterness ang laman ng puso dahil naiinggit.

Pag naiinggit tayo, mamimintas tayo dahil 99.99% ng pamimintas ay galing sa inggit! Ang mga pintasera, inggitera. Kasi, kung hindi ka naiinggit, bakit ka namimintas? To make yourself feel good. When you criticize, what you’re really saying is, “I am so insufficient inside of me. Kulang na kulang ako, salat na salat, dukhang-dukha, kaya pinuputol ko ang lahat ng ulo ng matatangkad para ako ang maging matangkad. Pinupuno ko sila ng dumi para magmukha akong mas malinis.” Kaya dapat alisin yang criticism at bitterness sa buhay kasi hindi ka tatahanan ng espiritu ng Dios at hindi ka gagaling kung puro bitterness ang laman ng puso mo. Tuwang-tuwa si Satanas pag bitter ka, kasi yan ang gusto nyang tirahan.

Maganda na gusto nyong magtanggal ng peklat at kung anu-anong mikekekwek sa inyong mga paa, pero unahin nating tanggalin ang bitterness sa ating puso. Mabigat dalhin at lahat ng blessing na dumadating sa inyo tumatalbog, kasi para kayong may shield – rejecting God’s blessings. Bitterness contradicts God’s blessings.

LEAVE OTHERS ALONE

Daily Devotions

Ephesians 4:2

Patiently put up with each other and love each other.

Aloneness can be very helpful. It can bring back peace, balance and sanity. Let people rest from your presence and enjoy your absence. Paminsan-minsan, bigyan naman natin ng magandang regalo ang mga taong malapit sa atin. Yung regalo na wala tayo sa paligid nila. Dahil kahit gaano tayo kaibig-ibig at kanais-nais, kailangan din ang taong magpahinga mula sa ating presensya. Hindi yung lagi na lang tayong kasa-kasama, kabu-kabuntot at kadikit.

And this is one social behavior that many Filipinos sometimes have to learn: to leave people alone. Kung minsan kaya palaging aburido, bugnutin at mainit ang ulo ng mga tao ay dahil hindi na nararanasang mag-isa man lang. Hindi na nakakapag-isip, nakakapagbulay-bulay, at wala nang katahimikan.

Kahit sa mag-asawa, you should have a healthy level of independence and aloneness. Because we have to breathe. Mahalaga yun. Gusto nitong si lalaki lagi nyang kasama yung asawa nya, pagkatapos pagka namimili naman inip na inip na siya. Sasamahan pa raw kunwari pero yaya naman nang yayang umuwi. E di magpaiwan ka na lang sa bahay. O kaya sabihin mo, “Maghiwalay na lang tayo, magkita na lang tayo mamaya.” Pero yung lagi mong kasama ‘tapos inaapura mo nang inaapura, bakit hindi mo bigyan ng oras? O kaya sasama nga pero alam na alam mo namang hindi talaga nag-eenjoy.

Treat aloneness as rest from the pressure of being with people no matter how much you love them, at the same time, as a gift to them that they may also enjoy their time and space on their own.

Ecclesiastes 4:10

If you fall, your friend can help you up. But if you fall without having a friend nearby, you are really in trouble.

Kung may pera kayo, maraming panggastos at gusto nyong magbiyahe, bumili kayo ng makakasama. Ilibre nyo yung kapatid nyo o yung pinsan nyo para may kasama kayo. Kaysa nakatipid nga kayo, nag-iisa naman kayong tatlong oras na nag-aabang doon sa terminal. ‘Tapos siyam na oras kayong kakalug-kalog sa eroplanong mag-isa. Pag may turbulence, wala ka man lang mahawakang kamay. Kung lalagpak ang eroplano, wala ka man lang kayakap. Nung makita ang bangkay mo, unan ang nakitang kayakap mo.

Mabuti kung may kasama ka. Kung sobra kang kuripot, sobra kang makasarili, puro pagtitipid ang iniisip sa buhay, mag-iisa ka. Ganun ang mangyayari. Dapat alam nating gamitin ang pera for our pleasure and joy. Di ba mas masaya na marami kayo pag may lakad? E kung mahihirap ang kamag-anak mo, ilibre mo silang lahat, kaysa naman walang lakad. Aanhin mo ba yung pera? Pasasayahin ka ba nung numero na naka-print lang sa libreta? Kailangan marunong tayong gumamit ng ganyang mga tools na ibinibigay sa atin ng Dios.

Prevent aloneness. Share your life. Share your beliefs with others. Hindi lang sila ang gusto mong mag-adjust sa iyo, ikaw man ay nag-aadjust din sa kanila at nakikihati sa kanilang buhay. Connect with others. (199 words without Bible verse, 222 words complete)

SEEK GOD’S TOUCH

Matthew 9:28-30a

After Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came up to him. He asked them, “Do you believe I can make you well?” “Yes, Lord,” they answered. Jesus touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, you will be healed.” They were able to see…

Talagang alam ng Panginoong Hesus kung ano ang pangangailangan ng tao. Iba talagang klase ang kanyang sensitivity to people’s needs. He knew the value of touch. Pinag-aralan ng Touch Research Institute of Miami kung ano ang epekto ng himas, hilot at masahe sa tao. At ano ang kanilang nakita sa matagal nilang pagsusuri?

  • Ang bata na laging hinihipo, niyayakap at binubuhat ay mas mabilis lumaki kaysa doon sa mga hindi pinagbububuhat.
  • Nababawasan ng stress yung mga stressed people pag tumatanggap sila ng paghipo.
  • Kung minsan yung mga nade-depress ay lumalala at gusto nang magpakamatay pero ang kailangan lang pala ay himas.
  • Kahit ano’ng uri ng pain ng pasyente, pag hinihipo siya lalo’t yung may haplos ng pagmamahal, nababawasan yung sakit na kanyang nararamdaman.
  • Pag lagi kang may touch, ang lakas-lakas ng katawan na lumaban sa mga mikrobyo.

And Filipinos, thank God, are a touching people. Tayo ay isa na yata sa pinakamahilig humipo, kumalabit, humimas, kumapit, humawak-hawak. Kaya siguro isa tayo sa pinakamasasayang tao sa daigdig at isa tayong bansa na pinakamababa ang incidence ng suicide dahil sa ating touching nature and culture. That’s why Filipinos make for wonderful health workers and caregivers dahil kailangan pala ng touch. People need touch especially God’s touch. Therefore, we should seek God’s touch.
