No Compromise
S – Daniel 6
v. 5 Finally these men said, ” We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God”
O – since the time that Daniel was new as a captive of the king, since his young age up to this point that He is already an administrator in the palace, he didn’t change. He stood out in the crowd, he was so distinguished, distinct that he was a magnet for envy. But even so he was envied by many, there’s nothing that can set him up and make him fail. Those who envied him, when they can find nothing wrong with Daniel have been left with no choice but to attack him about his God. We can be sure if we are a true follower of Jesus if, like Daniel, life can’t trouble us unless it’s about compromising our God. But rest assured that if we chose God and did not compromise, we shall be delivered by those attacks.
A – if other people will look at at me, can they find fault in me as follower of Jesus? Yes. I am not the best follower that I am and thus I’m giving blemish to the name of my God. Thus, I am worst than those who do not associate their name with the name Jesus. I am not like Daniel yet, but I desire to be like him – to be a woman of integrity that no one can’t find any fault in me. I should not compromise. If given with options, the choice should always be God. No bargains. No what-ifs My answer should always be God.
P – Lord, forgive me for not being at my best. Forgive me for having broken integrity. For not giving my all to you. Starting this moment, I’m all yours. I know that you only want my all, but still I want to give not just my all but my best, until the day that comes that people will find no fault in me. I desire to be a person of integrity, make me pure and sincere always. From my thoughts, emotions, choices and lifestyle, make me whole. It will not be an easy road, just like now, I’m experiencing the pain of letting go, but I’ll endure, because greater is the joy I’ll receive from the things You’ll give me than the joy from the things I’m taking by force. I love you, Lord. Amen
Gaano ka-halaga ang mga katagang
“You are special to me”
“You mean so much to me” and
“I will always be here for you”?
Hindi pala dapat basta-basta na lang nagbibitaw ng mga katagang ‘yan.
Mabigat ang ibig sabihin niyan.
May malalim na kahulugan.
At para sa mga nakakarinig, maaaring makapagpasaya at makapanakit
ang mga katagang iyan.
Magbibitaw ka lang dapat niyan
Kung kaya mong panindigan.
‘Un ang tinatawag nating commitment.
Hindi lang siya para sa mag-boyfriend
at mag-asawa.
Sa kahit anumang relasyon,
kahit sa kaibigan at lalung-lalo na
sa pamilya.
Mas maganda nga siguro
Kung hindi mo na lang sabihin, ‘di ba?
Dahil kung nagagawa mo ‘yan
Kahit hindi mo pa bigkasin,
Kahit implied lang kumbaga
Malalaman at malalaman ng taong
“special” sa iyo ‘yan..
Gayunpaman, hindi sana maging excuse sa’tin
ang pagiging tahimik na lang.
Na dahil hindi na tayo nakapagbitaw ng mga ganitong kataga,
hindi na tayo kikilos at susubok
para maiparamdam sa iba na special sila sa atin.
sabi ng isip ko:
pero, kailangan ba talaga ‘un?
na maiparamdam sa kanila ‘un?
kung mahal nila tayo
tatanggapin nila tayo sa gitna ng mga pagkukulang natin, ‘di ba?
hindi na nila hahanapin pa un…
sagot ng isip ko naman: (schizo me)
actually, gagawin mo un
hindi dahil ini-expect nila
pero outflow na lang un
kung sincere ka
lalabas at lalabas un
without effort..
hehe. :))
magkagayunman,,
kung ako naman ang mapagsabihan ‘nun
hindi rin dapat ako mag-e-expect, ok?
hindi nga dapat mag-a-assume..
if they will treat me nicely
i’ll appreciate it
and i’ll be thankful of it
and if i treat someone nicely
i shouldn’t expect that the favor be returned to me
because i’m doing it to give
not to receive
to bless
and to be a blessing..
…(just a thought)…
I have a dream – a very big dream.
I want that someday, people will ask me, “how did you do it?”
and I will answer them, “I didn’t, Jesus did through me.” 🙂
I am easily inspired and motivated by books and stories about people who have made it to the top.
I am really fascinated with them.
I don’t want to settle by just being inspired and motivated by them.
I have this dream that someday, I, too will inspire and motivate others.
I don’t just want to read or watch stories about people and how they did it and how they experienced.
I want to experience it firsthand.
I want to feel the exact emotions they felt while achieving their dreams.
I want to be like them.
I know the first step.
That is not letting my limitations limit me.
And not to accept the things people say I can’t.
Well, I’m into sales right now.
People would shot me a look saying, “I’m foolish”
as if saying I will not reach anything with this.
Well, they might be right, they must’ve experienced it
But I don’t want to give it up, just because some said so.
This time, let me be hard-headed.
This is what I want, and I want to breakthrough.
I don’t want to go with the flow.
It’s craziness, I know.
In foolishness, some people might have judged me already. (or I’m judging them, :D)
Telling me that beings in sales is degrading.
Especially when I have a professional license.
It’s as if I’m wasting my four years of study for nothing.
I’m not wasting it, I’m actually applying it. 🙂
You won’t see others doing sales because they don’t want to look low.
As if being a sales man is low-profiled. Tsk.
I want to break that ideology.
It is not degrading. It is not low-profiled.
It is a decent job and it teaches me a lot.
One of it is goal setting (this i have to take up on another article)
and a lot more coming up. 🙂
So this is how my dream began.
This is how I started it.
See you at the end. ###
P.S.
Ha! I really have a high dream.
it’s mission impossible.
but I daresay, it’s possible! I’m Possible!
because i will not go through this alone.
God will be with me.
Two things I will ask..
Why not you?
Why not today?
yep! let us save it in our own small ways..
“Habagat” is gone.
At first glance, i am unaffected.
Ha! That’s what i thought.
Not knowing that even before “Habagat” came
I am already flooded.
STRANDED actually.
Flooded not with water but with messy clutters in my life.
Heart issues I didn’t think I have until the truth hit me.
I didn’t know that I am again allowing them to take over me and drown me.
I was not updated with the weather forecast.
I didn’t turn the radio on.
I was not informed that a “storm” has already made an entry in my heart.
And it has done major damage in me.
Now I’m struggling in this flood.
I’m fighting the waves to survive.
But the trashes keep pushing me downwards,
drowning me more.
These trashes clogged my heart,
and the flood cannot go out.
I AM STRANDED.
I need help.
I need my LIFEGUARD to rescue me.
He knows what to do.
He has the means.
He’s the only one who can save me.
I know He will be here.
I heard His voice.
It was Him who called out my name.
It was Him who told me
I AM STRANDED.
