Monthly Theme: just to catch another’s eye.
Dear Self, I love you.
For you are meant to change the whole picture, not just appear pretty.

You are more than just eye-candy. You are art that moves the soul,
painted by the greatest Artist of all time.

Drawn with wonder and a brave heart, you are called to break the pattern
of beauty the world has created. You are made to find the lost, and lose
what you have. But you are to gain much more than that. You gain a
significant part in the masterpiece that the Lord is making. So stop looking
at a different canvass. You need not to look far to find the hue that you
need, you only need to look within to find you—and you alone, is already

Daily Verse: Genesis 1:27

Daily Devo: Lahat tayo ay nakakaranas ng kabiguan sa buhay. Mga bagay na parang
iniisip nating, "unfair". Mga bagay na hindi natin maintindihan kung bakit
nangyayari at naglalagay sa isip natin ng mga katagang, "Bakit nangyayari sa akin
ang mga bagay na ito?", “mabait naman ako, naglilingkod naman ako, kumpara sa
mga tambay dyan sa labas, di hamak na mas lamang at mas mabuti ako.” Lagi mong
ikinukumpara ang sitwasyon mo sa iba. Lagi mong hina-highlight yung achievement
ng iba sa mga nagawa mo. Lagi mong sinasabi sa sarili mo na “mahina ako, wala
akong kayang gawin at lampa ako”, At ganun nga ang nangyayari.

In today’s scripture, ipinakita ng Diyos kung anong katayuan natin sa buhay. "So
God created mankind in his own image.." Anong ibig sabihin nito? May mga
katangian ang Diyos na inilagay sa atin at dapat isinasapuso natin. He is a victorius
God and we as His children should be victorius as well. You are a winner, not a
loser. Nakakalungkot dahil marami ang mga nanliliit sa kanilang sarili. Madalas pa
nga na ang bukambibig ng mga iyan ay, "Mahina ako”, “Wala akong utak”, “Maitim
ako”, “Pango ako”, “Pandak ako”, “Wala na akong magagawa". Hello? You are
created in God's image! Kung ano ang Ama ay ganun ka din dapat. Maaring panget
ka sa mata ng tao pero hindi sa mata ng Diyos. Maging proud ka kasi nilikha ka ng
Diyos na unique. Alam mo ba na sa dami ng tao dito sa mundo, lahat tayo ay
magkakaiba ng finger print? Kahit kambal nga ay magkaiba din. You are special,
nilikha ka ng Diyos na naiiba. Huwag mong ikumpara ang sarili mo. Imagine, kung
lahat tayo ay pare-parehong nilikha ng Diyos na may iisang mukha di ba?
Nakakatawa kasi ang makakasalubong mo sa mall ay kamukha mo. Kakain ka sa
restaurant ang nasa harapan mo ay kamukha mo. We are created differently and
we should tell this to ourselves. Punta ka sa salamin at i-declare mo, "I am created
in God's image, therefore, I am not a loser.".

Hindi ka mangmang, may mga bagay lang talaga na mahina ka. Kagaya sa school,
hindi naman lahat ng subject ay mahusay ka eh, may mga subject na mahina ka din.
Pastor Albert said, "Lahat tayo ay may kanya kanyang kakayahan na ibinigay ng
Diyos, ang problema kasi minsan hindi natin alam kung saan tayo inilalagay ng
Diyos. Hindi ka mangmang, alamin mo lang dapat kung saan ang kalooban ng Diyos
sa’yo. Halimbawa, kapag magluluto ka, gagamitin mo ba ang washing machine
para makaluto? Kung maglalaba ka, gagamitin mo ba ang microwave para
makapaglaba? Mas magiging effective ang isang bagay kung ilalagay siya sa
tamang paggagamitan." Minsan ganito din tayo. Nasa maling lugar kaya hindi tayo
naggo-grow. All we need to do first is to come to God, seek His will and always read
His letters for you.

Daily Verse: Genesis 1:31

Daily Devo: There was an ex-convict who has been cared for by an old man. When
the old man was about to die, he was asked to repay the kindness he showed in his
custody. He requested then to say these words so they would become even, "I am
not a failure and I am a good thing.” So the man tries," I am not a failure and I am a
good... "and bursted out crying..

Maybe right now these are the words you also want to tell yourself.

2019 might have been a tough year for you. Many things might have happened that
taught you to not appreciate what you have. You might have learned to not see the
good things God puts in your heart. You might have always felt unworthy of this
world because of the wrong choices you have done. But this year, the Lord wants
you to see what He has prepared for you. You may not feel it but God has been
good to you. He has been kind to teach you through and through. And He wants you
to open up your heart and soul and learn to let go of yourself, to embrace a new
identity God designed for you.

A new identity that transcends the greatness He puts all together when He made
you. A new identity to be kinder to yourself so you can learn to be kind to others
too. For you to understand the rule of “you can't give others what you do not
have”. A new identity that would be a catalyst of transformation to the mission field
He puts you in. A new identity to always believe what God calls you for. How God
sees you. What God can do for you.

Beloved, do not forget this, you are a good thing because a good God created you.

Daily Verse: Song of Solomon 4:7

Daily Devo: She was looking at herself in the mirror and noticed her imperfections
and flaws that made her hate herself. She disliked what she saw — she couldn’t
appreciate the beauty she has because people kept on saying she’s not good
enough.

She found imperfections ugly and she became unhappy. Her nightmares became
her reality. She had doubts on her abilities as well as nurturing the passion for her
art in writing. She was scared of prying eyes — ones that will judge her decisions
without knowing her reasons.

She kept her heart guarded with walls of self-preservation. Yes, she told many
stories, but they were shallow, they didn’t know what’s really inside her: Her
screams and joy. Her triumphs and tears. Her success and failures. Her pain and
happiness. She didn’t mention them for fear of getting rejected of being called a
friend.

She fought her battles alone.


She sailed through seas of adversity without any companion.
She stood by herself when no one else bothered to look her way.

But amidst all these things — she became happier: full of smiles for everyone each
day, treated people with complete honesty about herself, loved her family fiercely
even when they won’t do the same thing, and shared her burdens to her friends
slowly. All thanks to the realization since that day one, God has journeyed with her,
guided her steps, took her hand and loved her unceasingly.

That’s the beauty she has for having a great dad in heaven. She’s a heavenly beauty
and wonder.
