“Walang nang silbi 'yan!” Ito ang narinig ni Jennifer mula sa kanyang mga kapitbahay. Iniwan siya ng kanyang asawa dahil hindi sila magkaanak. At dahil maaga siyang nag-asawa at hindi nakapagtapos ng high school, nahihirapan siyang makahanap ng trabaho. She feels hopeless and helpless.

“There is no long road to a loved one,” ang malimit na bukambibig ng nanay. Panay kasi ang tanong ng mga bata kung nakarating na ba sila sa lugar ng kanilang kamag-anak. Dahil may kalayuan, naiinip sa biyahe. Pero ang sarap naman talaga ng feeling kapag nakarating sa destination. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

God is a good God. We sometimes mistake Him as a scary judge, but He is truly a good Father to us, His children. He is also a sweet God that allows us to enjoy the things that are meant for our good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him! All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Have you faced dead ends in life? Yung parang may isang malaking wall sa harap mo na hindi mo malagpasan. Sa buhay, dadaan talaga tayo sa iba’t ibang challenges that will build or break us. At minsan masasabi mo na lang na “Nakaka-discourage naman itong araw na ito!” o “Pinagsakluban na ba ako ng langit at lupa?” All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Kapag naunawaan natin ang ating purpose, mararanasan natin ang peace o kapayapaan na nagmumula sa Diyos. Ang ibig sabihin nito ay “nothing missing, nothing lacking.” Alam mo, hindi ito matatagpuan sa mga materyal na bagay o maging sa mundo kundi kay Jesus lamang.

When Jesus entered His ministry, the Jews doubted His claim to be the Son of God. Despite His many miracles, they refused to believe in His power. They rejected, mocked, and sent Him to His death. Until the cross proved that He is truly the Son of God.  All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

The love that Jesus requires us to show to others is not limited to family and friends, but even to our enemies. In Luke 6:27–28, Jesus says, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Grabe ang pag-ibig ni Earl sa kanyang asawa. Knowing her background and accepting her for who she is, masasabi nating nagawa niya ito dahil sa matinding grace at mercy ng Panginoon na nasa kanya. At kahit ilang beses siyang masaktan sa pangangaliwa ni Beth, lagi siyang handang magpatawad at tanggapin ito pabalik.

Love ang isa sa pinakamasayang maramdaman ng isang tao. Ang magmahal at mahalin ay napakagandang karanasan. Pero paano when it’s not easy to love? Kaya mo pa rin bang magmahal kahit sa mga taong hindi kaibig-ibig? All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show

Bakit ko mamahalin ang hindi karapat-dapat? Love is too costly and risky. Hindi ba mas madali kung ang mga deserving na lang ang ibigin natin? Pero kung nais nating mas matuto pang umibig kagaya ng pag-ibig ni Jesus, tingnan natin ang kuwento ng pagtawag niya kay Levi (Lucas 5:27–32).

Naranasan mo na bang masaktan nang sagad sa buto ang dulot nitong sakit? You prayed and surrendered your pain to God, but the hurt lingered.

Kung takot ka ring gumawa ng desisyon, I have three reminders to give you courage to decide. Una, binigyan ka ng Diyos ng sapat na talino to recognize right from wrong. Binigyan ka rin Niya ng freedom to choose. God is not a dictator who will harshly order you to do something, but instead, He will gently guide your steps. Nasa iyo na ‘yun kung susunod ka o hindi.

Did you know that dolphins have repeatedly rescued people threatened by sharks in the open sea? Pinaliligiran nila at pinagtatanggol ang mga nanganganib. Minsan, may isang surfer na nakagat na ng pating! Dumating ang isang pulutong ng dolphins, they circled around the surfer, tapos ginamit nila ang kanilang mga buntot para mag-ingay. Na-distract ang pating at tuluyan nang lumayo.   All Rights Rese...

However, in doing so, we should not ruin others’reputation. What Venus committed was human, but not pleasing to God. Sa halip na kumapit sa ibang tao at manira, sana ay ni-reflect na lang niya where and why things started to go wrong. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc. https://www.cbnasia.com/give Support the show
