Freedom’s Sake

Estela June 12, 2021

Freedom’s Sake Every freedom comes with it a responsinbility Respect the rights of every human being fully Our dignified hereos fight for it They shed their blood for freedom’s sake Value and honor the right to life Take it as a gift, not for violence and strife Claim your right to property And pay your tax honestly Express and present your opinion Doing it for the good of our nation You have the freedom for religious conviction Respect everyone regardless of one’s denomination Our freedom knows no boundary Like a bird flying in the sky freely Just like a fish that swim on the deepest sea Everyone always crave to be free

Food for the Soul

Estela May 29, 2021

Food for the Soul Are you looking for food that does spoil or something that will nourish your soul as well? Then, let us read the Bible. God’s Word is like a refreshing fountain that refreshes the soul. “For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things” (Psalm 107:9). It has the power to satiate our cravings for spiritual nourishment. It will enrich our souls and we will hunger no more. In this world we crave for food that would satiate our stomach and nourish our system. But it would never last forever, we will still hunger for more food that would just spoil and will somehow lead us to gluttony. ” Gracious words are honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones” (Proverbs 26:24). Thus, seek for food that does not spoil and will nourish your soul. The Word

How to Forgive our Debtors?

Estela March 14, 2021

How to Forgive our Debtors? When conflict arises, hatred and unforgiveness then follows. Love and hate are two opposite terms. And it can’t be felt at the same time. We often think of revenge when someone hurts us. But let us come to think about this: God has been so good to us despite of our many sins. His mercy and grace is immeasurable. Then, who are we not forgive our debtors? We are just human and are not exempted to commit sins. Let us not hoard grudges against our brethrens. Jesus said, “Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing”(Luke 23:34). Forgiving those who tresspass against us is the best thing we need to do as God’s children. “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you”(Colossians 3:13). In forgiving others

Estela January 30, 2021

Life is full of hues like a rainbow. Darker color means life’s test Brighter colors gave hope and glory! Rainbows are God’s covenant to us. Try to watch a rainbow my friend, After the rain showers today! It is full of promises, And brings hope to a downcast soul. Like a rainbow, show kindness to all. Share a smile and a gentle touch… Show goodness around the Universe; Smell the roses and touch the sky! Like every trouble in this life A hidden miracle comes with it. Be thankful for every little gift, And let us meditate on God’s goodness.

God’s Mercy Overflows

Estela November 21, 2020

GOD’S MERCY OVERFLOWS While living here on earth, we are not exempted of trials and pain. We often trudge on a deserted place of loneliness. Our journey is tiresome and seems to be pointless. However, in times like this let us try to reflect on God’s goodness and be reminded that His mercy overflows. The following are some troubles in life that we need to unravel: Are you burden with trials and pain? God will give you enough strength. He will heal your brokenness. “Casting all your anxieties on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). Are you lost and afraid? God will lead into the right path. He will walk with you along the topsy turvy path of life. And he will calm the storm inside you. ” The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my

The Sanity

Estela August 20, 2020

The Sanity Diverse wisdom springs out from our brain It pours down like raindrops, It unceasingly gushes like a river, Overflowing wisdom that cheers. Sometimes it makes us grin or grumble Wisdom for us to share and ponder on It is made for us to commune, Words that refreshes both body and spirit; Expressing it adds vigor and wipes away despair. Say only those words that bring healing not of fetid tongues! Read and hearken those pleasant speeches, Spread inspirational words Not those that will ruin others. How to express our God-given sanity? Through written accounts and melody, Like poetry, essay or a mere play! It is by an adage and short story; There’s a lot of ways! Oftentimes, ambiguity haunts the mind Those insights were blown by the wind. How futile, those ideas vanished with time. Only dim, vague memory left behind Next time if given some wisdom,

Fondest Dream

Estela August 5, 2020

Fondest Dream In this life, we attempt to soar high, Like eagles’ wing flapping above the sky While gazing, the brightest star at nighttime, It glitters with our heart’s cravings, Hoping to reach our sundry of dreams At times, our foot grip on thorny path The road, liken to burning embers, The fiery furnace, surmount the strength, No way to escape… As if hanging on steep cliff; The huge and roaring waves of the sea, Shattered on the bended knees! The spirit became frail and slowly wanes If this is life meant to be… Where our spirit could find hope? How could we reach the brilliant star? How to freely soar like eagles? To whom life finds comfort from sorrow and pain? And how to reach life’s grandest dream The body couldn’t bear the sting, It’s getting weak and shudders down. But far-off the lane,

Quest of Time

Estela April 26, 2020

Time is one of the most influential elements in the universe. It moves so swiftly that enable us to recognize its worth until it will become a history. “Time is the only device used to measure experiences.” We can do sundry of things at different situation at times. If ever we can hold on time and let it go back to our most cherished event in life, I know for sure many will do it including myself. Time is a precious gift from God for human to spend wisely and accurately. “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). The Influence of Time The days that have gone by might have brought much pain, injustice and misunderstanding among people. It was Roy T. Bennett who said, “Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short
