Don't worry. God is with us!

I love my Dad,

As much as the rest of my beloved family

I wouldn't be strong if not for him 

who taught me at a very young age

Of three or four years old


How people who are as kind as we are

Be the totally opposite of the person

God created us all to be


For we are told that

God created us all

In His own image and likeness


And that makes us "good"

As God is! 


Who knows why some of us changed?


Circumstances, ... 

Injustices, ...

Cruelty of others who are themselves 

Victims of the evil that is in the world, ...

These evil poeple greatly hunger 

For money, fame and power ...


Dad told me that no matter what

Any evil done to you by anyone


Smile and quietly whisper a prayer to God

Saying, "Lord God, I know You saw that ..."

And just let them off the hook

Move on and believe that

God knows

Nothing can be hidden from Him


" You know... ?"


Daddy asked me, 

"Do you understand my child?"

I nodded and assured him that I have

At that time, I thought I fully understand

But after witnessing everything that has happened to him

To our family and to everything God blessed us with 


I realized that in this world, you can be fooled

Not all people who smile at you are good

There are those who pretend 

But are actually like lions or wild animals

Waiting to devour their naive prey


As we all continue to experience

And go through these heart wrenching

Mind torture, mind boggling scenarios

Captured by the clouts of God's enemies

Being trapped in one's most frightening reality


Amidst the chaotic situations 

Simultaneously happening all at once

With all the sufferings you encounter

Consumed by extreme exhaustion  

Every inch of your whole being

Swallowed by a seemingly endless black hole


Though shattered, you stood your ground

By God's grace you fought the battle

Those who witnessed were puzzled in disbelief

Your grip on reality they even questioned


Finally, your vision is all crystal clear

There was no one beside you

Not even those whom you thought

Loved you enough to die for you

The way you would sacrifice your all for them


I tell you

That's when you know

You hit rock bottom


You discover that

God is there. 

He is the surefire Rock at the bottom

God is all there is in the endless existence of us all


You can hold onto His steady, mighty hand

And He would make you so strong

That with God you're able to conquer anything ...

Standing firmly on the ROCK... on GOD. 


When nothing can solve such situations

You're left no choice 

but to leave everything 

Unto God's almighty hands


Life teaches you 

To completely entrust your all 

To the Almighty GOD, the Alpha and Omega

The Beginning and the End

The God who was, who is and who is to come ...


Our God is the One who holds our future

He's already there in the days ahead of us

Beautiful tomorrows

He has set for each one of us...


So, in one's darkest hours

You'd know that there'd be no one you can trust ... 

No one ... but the loving Creator, Himself

It's only God who can save you.


And you learn to say

The prayer of our Lord Jesus

"Father, not my will but Your will be done."

You say this not only because of complete obedience

But because you were given the grace by God the Father


You knew by God's grace how God loves each one of us

You are assured of the Heavenly Father's love for you

That if He allows the things happening to you

You will completely, willingly surrender unto His will

Knowing that God is true to His promises when He said,

" It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. " - Deuteronomy 31:8 ESV

" Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. " - Isaiah 41:10 ESV


It is in complete abandonment

To the limitless oceans of God's grace

That's when you fully experience

The amazing love of God embracing you


Experiencing every single second

The truth in all creation

In all existence 

And in all eternity


God is love in its purest form

So pure that when you had a grasp of even a little of it

You would rejoice in limitless, true happiness

Somehow in a way, 

His wisdom is understood

That it is a great delight to Him

Having shared with us, His beloved children

This infinite, overflowing

Tremendous amount of love that God is.
