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

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,

Searching for my Destiny

After leaving the portals of my Alma Mater, life is but a worry-free in terms of responsibility if school matter is concerned. Until few months later, I began to realize that after graduation there will be long way to go and more trials to undergo. I started searching for my fate, hunting for a decent job to help sustain our needs. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you”( James 1:5). I was utterly hopeless then, I take a rest and sighed so deeply, while looking for a sign, but nowhere to go with my constant exploration for God’s divine will. What will be the reason for living on earth that it seems to be that I’m out of place here? I hesitantly asked the Lord, and it took a long time

In this life we will encounter foes and friends alike. They teach us to be strong and courageous in our own battles. In life we become strong when we surpass the different trials and hardships. Life is a constant change but not the genuine love of God. His love will last forever. Life is like a tough game wherein everybody losses.

Motivational Quotes May the bubbling brooks of living water will flow within us, when our spirits run dry, it produces a refreshing spirit beyond compare. Why worry about tomorrow’s fate?

Divine Presence I may not see you in person, But I feel your presence deep within me. I profoundly sense your comforting words in my heart. Whispering such awe-inspiring message of peace! I may not sense you, holding my hands When I’m in trouble and afraid Yet I know, through the power of the Holy Spirit, My heart finds joy and contentment aglow on me! I may not be able to embrace you, Like a mother cuddling her offspring. But through the whipping winds; I know you are embracing me with your divine care. I may not tell you, face-to-face, O, God. That I need your company; But I know, you are my constant guide, And rains my heart with your burning love! I may not be there from where you are today, But by your shining glory radiates on my face someday, Marching heavenward
