Grace - Not In The Head

Something has been roaming around my mind
Questions, questions that keep on lighting up inside
But the answers are not so plain in sight
Thus wishing words may come in light.

Thinking of the things that could reason out the "What" or the "Why"
Huh! Thoughts are crashing over and are out of the line
Still hoping that truth will come to bring peace and life
So that the dead hope will come back in might

I tried seeking a hand everywhere for a guide
Even soaring up in the sky so high to glide
While fixing the lenses to focus the eyes
However failure knocked down everything in just one plight

These efforts? Those works? All boiled down to die
Did many on my own just to simply get burnt and tired
Letting the joy in my heart be stricken and fired
Rolling! Walking around, here and there without a paint of smile

Denied help to live and survive so many times
Fear, failures and doubt; Oh something I shrug and deny
Although I know deep within I am hurting inside
Kept distance with people to flee from hurt and hide

Have looked for anything that will keep me living alive
Or maybe something that would and could add colors in this life
And begin to see the beauty of the sunset nor the sunrise
Yet there's nothing could ever mend this fight

I wanna run. I wanna die. I wanna cry
The outcry of the person longing but locked in the dark
Heart is tightly dying while soul is getting burned in fire
Tongue is twisted while eyes are getting blind

I am tired. Yes, I am. I am sick and tired
This place is putting me in so much pain and bind
Yet the spirit hopes, and still wanting to be fine
To see breakthroughs burst in rightful time.

'til He came. My Father came with His timing that's oh so right
He ran so fast when He saw me walking in the aisle.
I was about to talk but He shut my mouth with a hug
He wrapped His arms around me ensuring me I am loved.

He asked the servants to get the robe with colors so bright
Put it around me like my value is more than a dime.
Took the ring and place it on my finger that is so fragile
And He had my feet worn the sandals

He assured me that I am more valuable than any gems you could fine
Nor the treasures of silver or gold you could dug or mined
He even restored  my sonship rightfully seated in His side
Because of Jesus who we call the Christ

Jesus, at the cross bought me with a price
Brought fear, shame and guilt with Him to die
Ended the condemnation of sin with glorious sign
Sealed it with shedding of His blood.

Grace and mercy came upon me with Jesus, the Son of Man.
Who gave His life to end the debt of sin from the first adam.
Breathed me His breath to make and to have my life back
Loosing His own to make sure I have it in complete abundance

Actually He has the calf killed to make sure I am well supplied
With everything I needed and those I just really want
He makes me lie down on green pastures to dine
And sit beside rivers of His peace and love

Yes, I thought about grace is in my heart
Frankly I knew grace just in my head and not have it real inside
But I have encountered grace in the deepest darkness of my life
It shined not in my head because His has finally revealed His light

soul's cry

it is so frustrating to know that the perspective of people around you is changing when they found out the real you. it's like pain in your neck when they treat you in abnormal way... Yes, though you may know these people for such a long time and befriended them yet at the end of the story they tend to act like you're not worth to called as their friend. It is such a sad reality. Once, I have read a book written by Phillip Yancey that there was a prostitute woman who sells her daughter for a kinky sex in order to support her addiction. She was asked by Phillip if she ever thought of going to church but what the woman yelled instead, why the hell am I going to a church? I am already bad and they would just make me feel worst... How drastic it is that people shall say that they would accept you as what you are however, I may say that they just don't know the real meaning of the word, "ACCEPTANCE"... :(

Dawn

One thing is in me right now Something that tries to go inside out I am like a container that is about to burst out Excess that needs to spill out Deep inside there's this voice A voice that tries to awaken the soul From sleeping beyond time and dome Breathing life through the yawn Though my eyes are blurry I can still see the beauty Of life that is breathy With fresh air that is healthy The night is almost coming to an end As the days comes to break The yoke of heavily bondage And brings lightness to the shoulders ablade. Darkness may try to stand still But it will not last long as the light appears It has no freedom to stay It has to go away Darn! This letter is a bit absurd Mix emotions are disruptively written Yet, may it convey what the heart is trying to clear Things may come clearer at the day appears Dated: June 16, 2020

Nagsara Na Ang Talukap sa Mga Mata ni Lolo Pedring

Nangyari ito nung bata pa si Jose. Noong sila ay nabibilang sa matataas na pamilya sa Nayon ng Malusak. Sila ay dating kilala bilang pinakamayaman sa kanilang lugar ngunit nagbago ito. Masagana sana silang namumuhay sa kanilang nayon kasama ng kanyang inang si Josefina at mga nakakatandang kapatid na sina Juan na panganay at Nene ang pangalawa samantalang si Jose ang bunso. Nagmamay-ari ang pamilya nila ng isang malaking pabrika sa  kanilang nayon. Ito ay pabrika ng kanyang amang si Pedring at nagbigay ng kabuhayan sa kanilang mga ka nayon. Ang pabrikang ito ay pinanggagalingan ng mga papel, plastic  at tela. Ngunit itong pabrikang ay nagdudulot din ng hindi magandang epekto sa kapaligaran at kalusugan ng nakakarami. Marami ang nagrereklamo kay Lolo Pedring ngunit para lang pipi't bulag at bingi sya sa mga samo ng kanyang mga kanayon. Dumadami at lumalaki ang produksyon ng kanyang pabrika at dumadami din ang mga nagtatrabaho dito kaakibat din nito ang pagdami ng mga tao...
