2 Timothy 2:15

Do your best to win God’s approval as a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed and who teaches only the true message.

Even among Christian families, the Bible can become an easy tool to manipulate others. Laging ginagamit pang-blackmail ang mga verses na most of the time ay wrongly applied. “Di ba sabi ng Panginoon ganito, ganyan?” We must learn to use the word of God to set people free, not to bind them. Halimbawa, may isang anak na talagang naliligaw ng landas. Sabi ng magulang, “Ganyan ba ang Christian? Di ba Christian ka? Dapat maayos ang buhay mo.” Parang maling application yata yun. Paano kung sabihin ng anak, “O, bueno, kung ang problema ko lang pala ay Christian ako, mula ngayon, hindi na ako Christian”? Kaya huwag nating ipang-blackmail ang pagiging Christian at yung Word of God. Dapat we use it correctly. It must be used to heal and guide people, not to coerce them.

Families should use God’s word to liberate, not to dominate, manipulate, or exploit each other. Commit your family to causes bigger than your daily life. At home, small problems become big because of the absence of bigger things. Yung mga walang kabagay-bagay, walang kakwenta-kwenta at pagkahaba-habang drama at gulo ang napagtutuunan ng pansin kasi wala namang malaking bagay na pinagkakaabalahan.

Pasayahin ang pamilya. Contribute to the happiness of the family. Pag may problema, huwag nyo nang palakihin pa lalo. Pagtulung-tulungang i-solve. Kung hindi kayang lutasin dahil wala pa sa panahon, i-freeze muna. Don’t talk about it. Be prayerful and in the right time the Lord will lead you to solve such a problem.

KINDNESS WINS

1 Corinthians 13:4

Love is kind…

Love is kind thoughts. Sa isip pa lang, dapat mabuti na tayo sa minamahal. Ang katawan natin ay alipin lang ng ating isip. Ang ginagawa ng ating katawan ay dahil naiisip ng ating isip. Kaya doon ang battle ground. Love is kind words. What kind of words do you use to people that you profess to love? Words not only when you are in a good mood, but also when you are in a bad one. Siempre, kung good mood ka, maganda yung words na lalabas. Pero paano kung galit ka na? Ipapaalala mo bang, “Hinango lang kita sa putik. Naging tao ka lang sa akin!” Couples should not engage in cutting and wounding each other’s heart.

Love is gentleness. Laging may soft spot ang mahal sa buhay na hindi sinasaling. Hindi yung alam mo nang may sugat yung tao, dun mo pa susundutin ng daliri mong marumi. Evil yung ina-attack nyo ang weakness ng tao pag galit kayo. Hindi yun love. Ang pinaka-effective deeds are deeds of kindness. Ano ang naaalala nating pinakamagandang memories about people? Hindi ba yung deed of kindness nila sa atin? Yung kanilang pagpaparaya, pagbibigay, pagtitiis? At kung ganun ang naaalala natin tungkol sa isang tao, hindi ba natin susuklian ang kabutihan nya? Kaya ang taong mabuti, yun talaga ang nagtatagumpay. Sa biglang tingin mukha siyang talo at kawawa, pero siya talaga yung nagtatagumpay.

Kung nagmamahal ka at gumagawa ng mabuti, kahit na hindi nasusuklian ang iyong kabutihan, mukha lang dehado ka. But in the end, loving kindness wins.

PAG NUMBER ONE KA

Proverbs 25:6-7

Don’t try to seem important in the court of a ruler. It’s better for the ruler to give you a high position than for you to be embarrassed in front of royal officials.

Do not claim equality with the great. Do not outshine them. Huwag silang bigyan ng insecurity because they can do many things against us. Huwag magmamagaling in their presence to upstage them. In fact, if we can, do not shine at all. Hindi natin sinasabing huwag maging excellent at fruitful. But try not to be noticed too much. The world punishes the brilliant. Ang pinakamatayog na puno ang tinatamaan ng kidlat. Kung gusto nating magkaroon ng tahimik na buhay, sikapin nating huwag maging number one. Malaki ang bayad ng mga nasa tugatog.

Kung ikaw ang head of state at nagkaroon ng coup, ikaw ang unang mae-exile kapag bumagsak ang gobyerno mo. Pag number one ka, maraming naiinggit sa iyo who will do everything to destroy you. Maraming gustong makihati sa mga privileges mo kahit hindi naman sila kasalo sa hirap mo. Pag ikaw ang pinuno, ine-expect na lagi kang perfect example. At napakahirap i-maintain ang pagiging number one.

May laya ang maging pangkaraniwan. Wala masyadong naghahabol. Hindi kailangan ang bodyguard. Hindi kailangan ang publicist. Walang image na iniingatan. Lumagay lang sa lugar. Kung talaga tayong mahusay, lulutang at lulutang ang husay natin without the need to unsettle the powerful. Let whatever we do give credit to them, and, in the end, aandar ang katarungan ng Dios.

MAGANDA SA LAHAT NG PANAHON

Song of Songs 2:14

…Let me see how lovely you are! Let me hear the sound of your melodious voice.

Couples, be loving. But more than that, be lovable and lovely. Iisa yung root word ng mga salitang ito—love. Kailangan kaakit-akit at kaibig-ibig kayo. Bakit? Sapagkat ito’y kabanalan. Bakit kabanalan ang maging kaakit-akit? Because it is a ministry to your spouse.

It is kindness to your spouse that your spouse hears music in your voice, sees beauty in your face, and feels love in your embrace. Tinutulungan nyo siyang huwag maakit sa iba at huwag magtaksil. Tinuturuan nyo siyang maging mabuting ama o ina, dahil ang mabuting magulang dapat mabuting asawa muna. For you to be a good parent, you have to be a good spouse first.

Then you make yourself interesting so that your spouse is always interested in you. Binibigyan nyo siya ng maraming magagandang dahilan para manatiling umiibig, tapat at masaya. Pero dahil ang tao ay patuloy na umeedad, you must allow each other to mature and age. Huwag nyong hanapin na mukha siyang katorse anyos e may apo na kayo. May panahon ang lahat ng uri ng kagandahan. At lahat ng uri ng ganda sa kanyang tamang panahon ay maganda.

Kaya our women must not be overburdened with the difficult duty of looking young. Lalo na’t hindi nyo naman nabigyan ng maraming pera, ng mga katulong, ng ginhawa sa buhay. Huwag nyo nang paghanapan na laging mukhang ubas. Talagang paminsan-minsan magmumukha siyang pasas. Hindi yung pag may nakakasalubong kayong mas bata at mas sariwa, lumilingon na kayo noon. Naiinsulto yung ego ng inyong wife. Dapat pinapasaya ninyo.

WALANG LAST TRIP

Song of Songs 2:7

Young women of Jerusalem, promise me…never to awaken love before it is ready.

Timing is very important in finding and in expressing romantic love. Huwag daw pipilitin ang pag-ibig, huwag sobrang agahan na wala pa sa panahon. Huwag kayong magmadali. Darating at darating. Kayo ang unang makakaalam pag dumating na. Pag nag-iisip pa lang kayo, “Dumating na ba o hindi pa,” hindi pa siguro because if it’s there, every single cell in your body will tell you there is love. So let love have its own right time just like everything else under heaven. Kung hindi ka pa marriageable age, manahimik ka muna.

         Mga magulang, may panahon na nagluluwag-luwag ka na kasi panahon na rin para nagiging available ang inyong anak, makisalamuha, makihalubilo para maraming makilala at makapili ng iibigin at magmamahal sa kanya. Sabi ng nanay ng isang dalagang above fifty, “Ihanap nyo naman siya ng mapapangasawa. Ipinaparipa ko na nga.” Ipinaparipa na daw nya samantalang noong dalagita yung anak, ang higpit-higpit nya. Huwag namang darating kayo sa point na ipaparipa nyo dahil desperado na kayo. Naghihingalo na kayo sa tanda wala pa siyang kasama sa buhay. Kung mahuli man siya sa biyahe, mahirap ding ihabol. Dinadagdagan mo na ng lote at kotse ang paripa. Namumroblema tuloy kayo.

         Buti na lang ngayon hindi na uso yung last trip. May biyaheng twenty-four hours na. So ganoon din sa pag-ibig, walang last trip-last trip. Pero alam natin kung kailan ipinagkakait ang iyong dalaga sa mga kalalakihan at kung kailan mo naman ginagawang medyo available na siya. There is a time for everything.
