Am I wrong to feel this way?

Real talk. No filters. Just heart.

You know that kind of frustration that sits heavy in your chest? The kind that makes you want to scream into your pillow because you’re holding in so much disappointment?

Yeah. That’s where I’m at right now.

Because I’ve been trying to brush it off. To understand. To extend grace. To be the “bigger person.” But here's the thing: at some point, it's not just about what someone failed to do. It’s about what that failure says about how little they value other people’s time, effort, and trust.

And no! I won’t keep quiet. I won’t keep understanding just to keep the peace. Because peace built on avoidance isn’t peace at all. It’s silence soaked in resentment.

I’m tired of people who only show up when they need something. I’m tired of being expected to adjust, to be patient, to “understand” when others drop the ball and act like it’s no big deal. No apology. No accountability. Just… nothing.

It’s about being in a space where you gave your yes with full intent, and someone else just… didn’t. You followed through. You planned ahead. You said yes with a heart that meant it. And then watched someone treat it like it was optional.

And I’m here asking myself, “Am I wrong to feel this way?” Is it wrong to be upset when someone you counted on just didn’t care enough to show up, to get it right, to take ownership?

Let me say this out loud, for me and maybe for you too: No. You’re not wrong. You're not wrong for feeling disappointed. You're not wrong for expecting responsibility from someone who said “yes.” You're not wrong for feeling hurt when someone acted like their role didn’t matter, like your time and energy didn’t count.

But also… I don’t want this gigil to turn into bitterness. I don’t want this heavy feeling to harden my heart. So I’m making space for honesty and grace.

I still believe in doing things with all my heart. Not for people, but for the One who sees it all.

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” — Colossians 3:23

Because even when people let me down, God doesn’t. Even when someone fumbles and shrugs it off like it’s nothing, He sees the weight I carried. He knows how much heart I gave.

So I’m fixing my eyes on Him. Not on people’s shortcomings. Not on the silence or the “sorry not sorry.” But on the One who never fails who honors every unseen effort, who rewards faithfulness even when it feels one-sided.

If you're asking yourself this too... "Am I wrong to feel this way?" I just want to tell you: No, you're not.

Feel it. Acknowledge it. And then lift your eyes.

Because there’s peace, real peace, in knowing that God sees everything and He never lets anything done in love go unnoticed.

"...But My Eyes Are On You"

“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” – 2 Chronicles 20:12

There are days when life feels like a battlefield.

The pressure rises. Decisions loom. Emotions swell. And in the thick of it all, we whisper to ourselves, “I don’t know what it takes. I don’t know what to do.”

Maybe it’s the bills you’re unsure how to pay. The relationship you don’t know how to fix. The job you’re struggling to keep up with. The healing you’ve been praying for that hasn’t come.

Sometimes, the weight of not knowing can crush your spirit. You feel like you’re standing before a mountain too high, a storm too wild, or a battle too big for your strength.

But then comes the reminder from 2 Chronicles 20:12—a moment when King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah stood helpless in the face of a vast army. They didn’t pretend to have it all together. They didn’t offer strategies. They didn’t put on masks of false strength. They simply stood before the Lord and confessed:

“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”

What a powerful kind of surrender that is.

It’s not weakness. It’s not defeat. It’s trust.

It’s the kind of surrender that turns our gaze away from our limitations and toward the limitless power of God. It’s choosing to say, “I may not know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow.”

And because of that, I will not be afraid.

I will not be discouraged.

Even when life throws curveballs I didn’t expect and battles I didn’t sign up for, I will hold on to the truth that God is with me—in the unknown, in the waiting, in the in-between. He is not just with me in the moment; He’s already in my tomorrow, making a way.

So today, I take my hands off the wheel and surrender the need to control.

I trade anxiety for trust. Panic for praise. Fear for faith.

And I say with all my heart: “Lord, I don’t know what to do… but my eyes are on You.”

And that is enough.

This is War: The Cost of Peace

War is not gentle. War is not kind. War is the battle for peace against the hands of evil. And war has consequences.

In every war, there is bloodshed. There is loss. There is pain. Yet, for true justice to prevail, for the future to be secured, and for peace to be restored, we must face the reality that war demands a price. The war on drugs is no different.

So now, as we fight a war against drugs, against corruption, against those who destroy lives with addiction and violence, we must understand:

There will be casualties. There will be those who fall in the crossfire. It is tragic, but what is more tragic? Allowing evil to grow. Allowing more children to be enslaved by substances, more families to be torn apart, more innocent lives to be shattered while we sit back and watch. Evil thrives when we do nothing.

Some people will say it is cruel. Some will cry out against it. But let us not forget that even in the Scriptures, God Himself waged war against oppression, against sin, against the darkness that threatened His people.

When Pharaoh refused to free the Israelites from slavery, the final plague took the innocent firstborn of Egypt. Was this an easy thing to witness? No. But it was necessary. Because Pharaoh had enslaved the people of God, murdered their sons, and defied the Lord. Justice was delivered, and freedom was won.

When Jesus was born, Herod ordered the killing of all male infants to destroy Him before He could fulfill His mission. Innocence was slaughtered, but did that stop the will of God? No. Because this is war. This is the reality of a world where evil does not surrender without blood being spilled.

Does this mean God is evil because He allowed the firstborn of Egypt to die? Because He allowed innocent children to fall when Jesus was targeted? No. It means He is sovereign. It means He sees beyond what we can see. And it means He will do what is necessary for justice, for righteousness, for His greater plan to unfold.

Jesus Himself was innocent, yet He was crucified in the greatest battle of all—the war between good and evil, between sin and salvation. His death was not a defeat, but a victory over sin and death. Because even in war, sacrifice is necessary to achieve a greater purpose. Just as innocent lives were lost in Egypt and Bethlehem, Christ’s sacrifice became the price of our salvation. This does not make God evil—it reveals His justice and love. War, whether physical or spiritual, always comes with a cost.

Some say a Christian should oppose killings. But have we become too religious to recognize the reality of war? The Bible itself shows that war is part of the battle between good and evil. Evil does not surrender gently. It takes strength, discipline, and unwavering resolve to destroy what poisons a nation. Hesitation allows destruction to spread. Mercy for the wicked is cruelty to the innocent.

Should we put a leader who is weak and gentle at the helm of an evil nation? A leader who hesitates in the face of crime, who lets the enemy roam free? No. A country plagued by darkness needs a leader who will fight. A leader who will not bow to criticism, who will not flinch in battle. Because peace is not given—it is fought for.

Has the Philippines ever learned from soft discipline? Has kindness alone ever fixed this nation? Or does it take a firm, relentless hand to cleanse the country of corruption and crime?

I can’t understand why people celebrate his arrest. Do they not see who truly benefits from his absence? If you cheer for this, then you are siding with the enemy and the devil.

I do not invalidate those who have lost loved ones. Their pain is real, and their sorrow is deep. But I hope their loss will pay the higher and greater price of the majority and the nation. Because war—though cruel and painful—demands sacrifice for the greater good.

Bring back Duterte. Bring back the war that will cleanse this nation.

Because this is war. And war is never gentle. But it costs everything—lives, innocence, pain, and sacrifice. It costs the peace we hope for today so that true peace can be won tomorrow. It costs blood, sweat, and unwavering resolve. War is never without loss, but without it, evil prevails.

The Kind of Friend I Don’t Need

I’ve always prided myself on being independent. I don’t ask for much, and most of the time, I prefer to handle things on my own. Life has taught me to stand on my own two feet, to figure things out, and to keep moving forward no matter how difficult the road gets.

But no matter how strong someone is, there comes a time when they truly need help. And for someone like me—who rarely asks—it takes a lot to reach out. So when I do, it’s because I genuinely need it.

That’s why it hurts the most when someone I trust, someone who is fully capable of helping, just stands there and does nothing. Maybe it’s a small favor, a moment of support, or even just a simple gesture to make things easier—but instead of stepping in, they just stare, offering nothing.

To me, that says everything.

A real friend isn’t just there for the good times. Friendship isn’t just about laughing together, taking pictures, or tagging each other in posts. It’s about being there when it actually matters—when someone needs you. If you have the ability to help and choose to look away, you’re worse than any struggle I’m going through. Because at that point, it’s not about the help itself—it’s about what your silence says. It tells me I’m alone, even when I thought I had people to count on.

I don’t need a friend like that.

In this world, kindness doesn’t cost much. A little effort can make a world of difference to someone in need. So if you see a friend struggling, don’t just stand there. Be the kind of person who steps up—because one day, you might find yourself in the same position, hoping someone does the same for you.

I’ve seen people who love to talk about Jesus, who post Bible verses and share words of wisdom. But behind closed doors, they’re cold to their friends, distant to their spouse, and unreliable when it actually matters. They talk about love and kindness, but they don’t live it.

What’s the point of preaching about faith if your actions contradict your words? How can you speak about Jesus’ love while turning your back on a friend in need? How can you call yourself a good person when you neglect the one person who stands by your side—your own spouse?

"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." – James 2:14-17

Faith isn’t just about words—it’s about how you treat people. If your actions don’t align with what you preach, then what you’re saying is meaningless.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

People will disappoint you.

Some will promise to be there but disappear the moment things get hard. Some will only care when it’s convenient. And some will be nothing more than empty words.

But what I’ve also learned is this:

Don’t put your faith in people—rely on God alone.

He is the only one who never fails, never turns away, and never leaves you empty.

"My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." – Psalm 121:2

When people let you down, rest in the thought that your help comes from above. When others fail you, God is your helper. His grace is enough, His love is unwavering, and His presence is constant.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." – 2 Corinthians 12:9

At the end of the day, it’s simple:

If you see a friend struggling, don’t just stand there. If your spouse needs love and support, don’t neglect them. If you claim to be a person of faith, live it.

Because love, friendship, and faith aren’t just things we say—they’re things we do.

I don’t need a friend who only shows up when it’s easy. I don’t need someone who talks about kindness but doesn’t practice it. I don’t need a friend like that.

And neither do you.

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞: 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐝-𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡

Parenting is a journey, one that is full of ups and downs, laughter and tears, challenges and rewards. But when we think deeply about what truly matters in raising our children, one thing stands out above all: the greatest thing we can do as parents is to nurture them in a way that directs them to God’s purpose for their lives. It’s about guiding them not just to be good people, but to be the best version of themselves, the person God created them to be.

We are all familiar with the daily struggles—whether it’s managing schoolwork, dealing with emotional outbursts, or just trying to make it through the day. But in the midst of it all, we sometimes forget that our role as parents goes beyond just providing and protecting. Our calling is to mold, shape, and point our children toward the path that God has already set for them.

When we nurture our children, we aren't just giving them food, clothes, or education; we are planting seeds of faith, purpose, and strength. We are laying the foundation for their identity, not based on the world’s standards but on what God sees in them. Every child is unique, with their own gifts, talents, and calling, and our job is to help them see that—to nurture it, to support it, and to give them the tools they need to walk in it.

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of success—grades, achievements, and accolades—but real fulfillment comes from knowing that we’ve helped our children discover their true purpose. As parents, we need to look past what the world expects and focus on helping our kids uncover what God has planned for them. This doesn’t happen overnight. It takes patience, prayer, and a lot of faith. But as we guide them with love, we are aligning them with a greater purpose.

However, one thing I’ve noticed in the parenting world is that many times, parents unintentionally push their own dreams, ambitions, or expectations onto their children. I get it—parents want the best for their kids, and it comes from a place of love. But sometimes, what we want for our children isn’t in alignment with who they truly are or what they’re designed to do. This mismatch can create internal conflict for our kids, a tug-of-war between wanting to obey and please us, their parents, and the deep sense of purpose and calling that stirs within them.

It can be heartbreaking to watch, especially when that pressure leads to tension, distance, and misunderstandings in the parent-child relationship. Children may start to feel lost, unsure of their own purpose, or even resentful. They may feel that they’re failing to meet the expectations placed on them, yet something within them continues to call them toward a different path—a path that’s uniquely theirs. This dissonance can create a gap, not just between parent and child, but also within the child themselves as they wrestle with their sense of identity and purpose.

The truth is, no one knows our children better than God, and His plan for them is uniquely theirs. It’s our job as parents to step back and listen, to observe, and to support them in their journey, even when it might not look the way we envisioned. As parents, we need to give them the space to explore, to grow, and to listen to the still small voice that calls them toward their own calling.

The best gift we can give our children is the freedom to become the person God intended them to be, even if that doesn’t fit into the mold we imagined.

Children are not ours to possess, but rather a beautiful reward and gift from God.

𝐏𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝟏𝟐𝟕:𝟑-𝟓 (𝐍𝐈𝐕) 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐮𝐬: "𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝, 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐦. 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡. 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦."

This scripture beautifully illustrates that our children are gifts—entrusted to us for a season. They belong to God first, and it is our privilege to guide them, love them, and help them discover their unique purpose in His plan.

Understanding this truth helps us shift our perspective. Just as an archer carefully aims their arrows, we, as parents, are tasked with preparing our children to be sent out into the world, equipped with God’s love, purpose, and guidance.

Our children are not extensions of our desires or our unfinished dreams; they are individuals with their own callings, and our role is to help them recognize and walk in that calling.

Yes, it’s hard. Yes, there will be mistakes, tears, and moments when we doubt ourselves. But the beauty of parenting with purpose is knowing that we are part of something so much bigger than ourselves. We are helping shape the next generation of leaders, dreamers, and changemakers. And most importantly, we are helping our children become the best version of themselves—exactly as God intended.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath.

Parenting isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being present, loving, and consistent in pointing our children to God’s plan for them.

Every little step you take—whether it’s through encouragement, prayer, or simply spending time together—matters. You are helping them find their way, and that is the most meaningful and fulfilling thing you can do as a parent.

Sometimes, it’s heartbreaking to realize that the people who should see you most clearly—your family, your closest friends, or anyone closest to your heart—don’t always recognize your good side. It’s painful when you feel like the version of yourself that they know is shaped by misunderstandings, unhealed wounds, or circumstances that brought out your defenses rather than your strengths. What’s worse is when you know deep down that it’s not entirely their fault or yours, but a result of the toxicity that has shaped your interactions. You didn’t respond in ways that reflected your best self, and they didn’t create the space for that side of you to shine.

It’s a heavy weight to carry—to feel unseen or misunderstood by the people you long to be closest to. You wonder, “Do they even know the real me? The one who’s trying, who’s kind, who’s capable of so much love and goodness?” Instead, all they seem to see are the cracks, the flaws magnified by the cycles of pain that no one seems able to break.

Healing in a space like this is not easy. You might wrestle with the idea of forgiveness—not necessarily for them, but for yourself. For the times you reacted in ways you’re not proud of. For the parts of yourself you had to hide to survive. And for the love you gave that wasn’t always returned in the way you needed.

But in the midst of this ache, there is a deeper truth—God sees you.

He sees the corners of your heart that no one else has noticed. He knows the parts of you you’ve had to hide and the moments when you’ve felt too broken to be worthy of love. He knows every flaw, every mistake, every sharp word you regret—and still, He calls you His.

Where others see your weakness, God sees your potential. Where others hold on to your failures, God remembers your efforts. And where others fail to love you fully, God loves you perfectly. Not because you’ve earned it, but because He is love, and you are His child.

So even if they never acknowledge your growth, even if they never see the goodness in you that others do—God already has. He saw it before you even realized it was there. And that means your worth isn’t dependent on their recognition. It’s already secured in Him.

You don’t have to exhaust yourself trying to prove that you’re enough. You don’t need to carry the burden of constantly explaining yourself, hoping they’ll finally understand. Because God already understands. And His opinion of you will never change.

Let that truth sink in—you are fully known and fully loved. Not in spite of your flaws, but including them. He doesn’t love the “perfect” version of you; He loves the real you—the one who’s still healing, still growing, and still learning how to rise after falling.

So don’t let the world’s inability to see your light make you doubt that it’s there. God placed that light in you. And no amount of misunderstanding or rejection can put it out.

Keep shining, not to prove yourself, but because you were made to shine. Keep growing, not to earn love, but because you are already deeply loved.

And most of all, rest in this: The One who knows you best loves you most. And that is more than enough.

Hello, Love Again: A Story of New Beginnings and Finding Home

Hello, Love, Again (2024) - A Movie Review

I recently watched Hello, Love Again, the much-talked-about movie starring Alden Richards and Kathryn Bernardo. With all the global hype surrounding it, I was curious to see what made this film such a hit. After watching it, I can say that while the story itself wasn’t extraordinary, the performances—especially Kathryn’s—made it worth the buzz.

Let me be honest: if you’re not familiar with Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards, this movie might not leave as strong of an impact. The plot is straightforward and something we’ve seen in real life countless times—a story of heartbreak, finding new love, and starting fresh. What made it special, however, was the deeper layer added by Kathryn’s real-life experiences.

What really stood out to me was Kathryn’s portrayal of her character. For years, Kathryn seemed boxed into a specific mold—a persona shaped by a relationship that appeared to limit her growth. But in Hello, Love Again, she shed that image completely. She was bold, free, and unapologetically herself. It was like watching someone break free from chains, It was refreshing to see her explore a role that mirrored her personal growth, proving she’s ready to soar on her own terms. It was empowering not just for her but for anyone watching.

Another smart move was pairing her with Alden Richards, someone whose clean and admirable public image made him the perfect contrast to Kathryn’s real-life past relationship. The chemistry between them wasn’t just about their characters—it was symbolic. It wasn’t just their acting; it was the story their collaboration told.

This movie became a reflection of something many of us dream of—breaking away from a stifling past and stepping into a future where we are free to be ourselves, where we found someone who treats you with love and respect, who gave us so much grace to fail but still accepted. Kathryn’s character shows that moving on isn’t just about leaving behind the old. It’s about opening yourself up to the possibility of something better, and that struck a chord with me.

But perhaps the most touching part of the movie was its deeper message: that home isn’t always a place—it can be a person. A person who makes you feel safe, loved, and understood. Someone you can turn to when life feels heavy. That thought stayed with me long after the credits rolled because it’s something so many of us long for—a love that feels like home.

For me, Hello, Love Again wasn’t just a movie—it was a lesson in letting go. Sometimes, God removes things—or people—that hurt us so He can make room for better things. Letting go of a toxic relationship is hard, but it’s also one of the most loving things we can do for ourselves.

This film reminded me that when we finally release what no longer serves us, we open our hearts to the blessings waiting ahead. It’s not just about finding love again—it’s about rediscovering yourself and creating a life where you can thrive.

So, if you’re holding onto something—or someone—that’s keeping you from being happy, let this be your sign. Let go. Trust the process, because better things are coming. And who knows? Your person—your true home—might just be waiting for you, ready to show you a love that feels like freedom.

Hello, Love Again is more than just a love story. It’s a story of hope, courage, and the belief that no matter how hard things get, new beginnings are always possible.

Movie Rating: 8/10

*Mas naaliw talaga ako kay Kathryn here as a person. It’s satisfying to watch her bloom and soar—free and wild—while having someone new, better, richer, and more handsome. IKAW NA TALAGA MARENG KATHRYN! HAHAHA

Sometimes the people you “lost” is worth the peace you gained 💯

[bloggingastronaut]

[bloggingastronaut]

Yes 🔥🔥🔥

Christians that Slander Other Christians

Slanderous speech in the Christian faith has become increasingly popular due to social media platforms. Prior to social media we had select church pastors that participated in slandering other pastors or churches, but this was not the standard for most pastors or churches out there.

Many Christians prior to social media read their bibles, and were raised to show respect to those around them, especially in the faith. However, today we have a generation of preachers, as well as other believers, that choose the path of slandering others in order to either produce new content for those that follow them or attend their church week after week, or to simply look like they are righteous themselves by exposing what they deem heresy or false teachings.

None of this should be taking place among the disciples of Christ. None of it! Christianity is perhaps the most divided religion in our world today. It’s divided into various denominations, theologies, and practices. When the world takes one look at Christianity they do not see a religion of peace, love, mercy, grace, understanding, compassion, and kindness but rather a group of people that not only attack their way of life, but also attack one another as well. People calling Jesus their Lord and their God, but acting worse than those in the world in terms of treatment towards others in the faith.

Christian’s publicly attacking other Christians openly before the world is absolutely not biblical behavior nor a righteous standard.

Stop and consider this for a moment. If any owner of a business hired several people to work at it, and the owner left for a little while only to come back and see several of their employees standing around criticizing the ones that are working, what would happen to those that were standing around criticizing? They would be fired immediately and replaced with other workers. The Church / Body of Christ is The Lord’s business. For He uses it to bring about more increase for the Kingdom of Heaven, and it is not anyones place to criticize or insult His workers in His business.

Consider what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23. He said, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

What is the will of the Heavenly Father? It is for us to look to Jesus and believe in Him. To learn from Him, and to listen and obey Him. For the Heavenly Father spoke to Peter, James, and John on the Mount of Transfiguration this, “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” What did Jesus say for us to do? He said, “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” There is no slander in love. Slander is not a fruit of The Spirit, but rather the fruit of the flesh.

James, the younger brother of Jesus, wrote this himself, “Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?”

Paul the apostle also wrote this, “But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Reject a factious (relating or inclined to dissension) man after a first and second warning, knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.”

Slander leads to arguments, arguments lead to divisions. These divisions lead to more slander and arguments, and even more divisions. It is a vicious cycle that we as believers must stop participating in. It is not profitable for the Kingdom of Heaven, but rather causes a deficit in it because people leave the faith or never come to Christ because of it.

Lastly consider the warning that Jesus gave to us through His apostles, “If anyone causes one of these little ones (those who believe in me) to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!” Do not be the reason someone stumbles in their faith. Do not put yourself in the way of His judgement.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable (if anything is excellent or praiseworthy) think about such things.

[bloggingastronaut]

HAHAHAHA yeaaahhh

[bloggingastronaut]

Time and again we all get disappointed with our spouses, our parents and our children. They don't understand, they don't always reciprocate our love and very often than not they hurt us with words. David was betrayed by His son, despised by his wife Michal , almost stoned by his friends and he himself committed adultery. But he knew the perfect love of his God and he said: “Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You.” (Psalm. 63:3) . But you see, we are all flawed people. None of us can really love perfectly. Only God can. He is love. His love alone can completely satisfy our every need.
