Loving Unconditionally
Chairs and pews. Yet, the church is made up by those who sit on them. The church is made up of people. And as the church, we are called to look like God in order to represent Him to a world that desperately needs Him most. They say that a non-believer converts based off of…

Dear Midnight Rain, You Don’t Have To Give Up On Love
It’s exactly 5:01 am when I decided to write about this topic. While listening to Midnight Rain by Taylor Swift, I feel the words she had sung, as they envelop my very being. I am Midnight Rain and at some point in time, I’ve given up on love because to me, there were better things…

Carrying My Cross: Journey Towards Health
It’s been around 8 years since I’ve been diagnosed with a certain ailment. I’ve asked the Lord why I was taking medicines when healing can be found at the mention of His name. I’ve pleaded. I’ve even begged at some point– and that’s very unlikely of me. I just wanted to be well. Every time…

How To Not Resent God (Amidst Trials)
I do not write to you as if I’ve never resented God. In fact, there was a deep resentment I’ve nurtured for a good two years or so. I write to you, as someone who has gone ahead. Looking back, I wish I knew then what I know now– you don’t have to nurture resentment…

An Open Letter to the One Who Loves Me That Way
I start with these blank pages, hoping I could talk some sense into you. I will not push you away any more. Nor question you why you’ve fallen for me. I do not have any ulterior motives. I wanted to bring clarity and tell you what I need. I am not a mind reader. Although…

How to be Humble
Romans 12:3 (ESV) “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.” I was in my mid-teens when I began my undergraduate…

Ayoko Na
“Ayoko na” Mga kataga ng pusong nababahala Na sa dinami rami ng dapat pagdaanan Ito ang nahirang sa akin Sadyang katangi tangi – mula sa puso hangga’t sa isip Ang laman ng bawat araw ay ikaw Mga larawang tinatanaw Mga palaisipan at bawat galaw Bawat kibo, mapapatanong ng “ano raw?” Pero sadyang talo ang ginaw…

How Christianity is Impersonal & Why It’s Okay
Matthew 10:37-39 (ESV) 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it,…
