In Silence

Experiencing Jesus is not a nirvana-like experience - oblivious to or exempt from personal pain. In fact, pain is an essential to experience the fullness of Jesus - his strength, his faithfulness, his comfort. The Bible teaches we are to share in the “fellowship of his (Jesus’) sufferings” (Phil. 3:10 NKJV). Pain was a central feature of Jesus’ life - betrayal, heartache, suffering and even death. It is one thing to go through pain alone. Jesus promises his fellowship - he’s been down that road before you. Those who have yet to go through the ups and downs of life have not tasted the sweet fellowship that results from experiencing these trying times with him. - Max Lucado, Experiencing the Heart of Jesus

From this passage in Max’s book I’ve learned that pain is important, sometimes when we feel too well, we don’t thank God for it, and that is when pain is needed. Pain is an essential. This means that in order for us to have a fellowship with God, we must endure a lot of suffering, it is when the good results come we tend to see how lovely life is, we become thankful, we become stronger. God has provided a way out of these circumstances he has given us, and there will always be Jesus to be our foundation.

Today’s my birthday, the same day I’ve proven to my self that I have a Urinary Tract Infection. But, God has totally blessed me today. A lot took effort to greet me and I was really thankful that they remembered. Those who had the voice to come to me and greet me “happy birthday” THANK YOU. God has really blessed me with great people and he has given me the love that I never thought I deserved. I have been blessed with a concerned and loving family, great friends and great faith.

THANK YOU SA LAHAT NG NAG-GREET I’M TOTALLY HAPPY because you people remembered. Pasensya na at walang handa, alam niyo naman ang buhay ngayon.

Bottom Line: I’m DEVOTED to YOU.
