Women...We Are Not A Taste Test!

" as a woman, you are are not a taste test either. No man should be able to sample you and then decide if he wants to pay the cost associated with claiming you as his own. Neither should he have the freedom to sample and discard you in pursuit of something that he thinks might taste better or have a lower price. You are priceless- fearfully and wonderfully made. God shaped and molded you in his own image. You were created, redeemed and deeply loved and valued by God. Therefore, the man who wants to be involved with you should have to count the cost. Understand your worth and know your value. Realize that your value does not decrease if you are alone. Your value increases according to your depth of character. Having a man is not what gives you value. Your value is established and stated by God before the beginning of time."

Something To Ponder On

Just a thought to ponder on and i believe there's truth in this:

"Never marry a man who hates his mother,

because he'll end up hating you."

No Greater Love

photo courtesy: google.com

Today, as we celebrate the Lenten season, let's be reminded of the sacrificial love God has for us. There is no greater love than His.

No one has greater love [no one has shown stronger affection]

than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.

-John 15:13 Amplified Version

Take time to spend time with Him and let your heart be open to the love that He is offering and giving you. He loves you so much and his love is greater...greater than your lover's love...greater than your dreams...greater than your past...greater than your present...greater than your future...greater than anything else.

What A Man Wants

"It is the spirit of a woman that a man senses.

He wants a woman who every man wants but every man has not had...

A man does not want a woman he has to question or worry about.

If a woman gives her body to a man too soon,

he will always wonder how many other she has given herself to."

From the Book

What Women Don't Know

(And Men Don't Tell You)

The One Thing That Still Stands When All Else Has Fallen...

I Corinthians 13:7-8

J.B Phillips New Testament

Love knows no limit to its endurance,

no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything.

It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen.

[ All gifts except love will be superseded one day ]

Friends Or Lovers?

Valentine's day is around the corner. Everyone is excited about it especially those who are in love. In line with that, I wanna share some thoughts from the book I've read a few months ago (I'll post a review of that book soon on my other blog site).

In the meantime, here are some interesting thoughts there which i totally agree of:

A woman may have a platonic friendship with a man-and that's all it is. Yes women see circumstances differently from men. Women see things a man does not see. Just because you are great friends with a guy does not mean he's planning to marry you. He may be really nice to you, he may say wonderful things about you, he may even tell you that you would be a wonderful wife-all without ever intending to marry you. Friendship with men can confuse women. However, you should still be a friend first. Your relationship should start out as friendship and progress to courtship and then to matrimony. But how can you avoid the situation where the friend you hoped to marry calls you one day and tells you about this wonderful woman he met? He just wanted to call you, his friend, to tell you about his happiness.

Learn to listen. Are you foreseeing and imagining a future with someone who hasn't discussed having a future with you? Listen to what the man says. In some cases, men lie and deceive you, but in most cases, women deceive themselves. Men tend to commit to their words. Just because a man is nice to you, friendly, caring, and helpful, don't assume he loves you in a way that will eventually lead to marriage. Protect your heart by really listening to what he says.

This Is Very Sad

Proverbs 25:24 The Message (MSG)

Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack
than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.

Learn and Speak Your Love Language

Being single or married

has nothing to do with whether you need to feel loved!

Everyone has a God-given yearning

for complete and unconditional love in the context of all relationships.

If you want to give and receive love most effectively,

you've got to learn to speak the right love language.

Different people with different personalities express love in different ways.

In fact, there are five very specific languages of love:

Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Physical Touch.

-Gary Chapman

from his book,

The Five Love Languages

(Singles Edition)

Something Much Better

For singles...

Sometimes,

God allows a romantic relationship

to end

to give you something much,

much better.

A Wife

photo courtesy of this site

When i was riding in a taxi going to work the past few days, i started composing these words in my heart and when i got home the other day from work, i started to write these down on my notebook and here's my composition. Men, i hope you would treat your wife like this:

A wife is someone to love not to hate

She is a help-meet not your helper

She should be your supporter

not your competitor, nor your destroyer.

A wife should always be remembered, not forgotten.

Live with her not leave her

Take care of her and don't say "I don't care."

A wife doesn't need a shout and doesn't need to be in doubt

She needs your whisper, your sweet talk and a good talk as you walk

Give her your comfort not just your financial support.

A wife needs your listening ears

She always wants your words saying, "I'll be here, remove your fears."

A wife should be treasured

God gave her, so cherish her...

Love her as Christ loves her

She is yours and should not belong to any other man

Keep her as the apple of your eye, man!

A wife should be your one and only

No number two, no number three,

no number four nor number forty four

Make her your first and last, not your past

Till death do you part...this should be in your heart!

Most of the thoughts i post here are my own writings...

these are the things I've learned as i spend time reading God's word during my devotional time and sometimes, words are just dropped in my heart.

And if in case you would like to post my own writings/poems/devotional thoughts/insights to your own blogs or use them in any way, please ask permission from me first or at least give credit that it came from me.

Thank you so much:))

The One You Love Versus God

video courtesy of youtube.com

I celebrate with other Filipinos about Ms Shamcey Supsup's victory in the Miss Universe 2011 Pageant.

Since the question and answer was about relationship, i decided to post it here including the video. I've been planning to post it here on the day the Miss Universe 2011 was held but i had no time to do it. So,to those who watched the pageant, here's this post to refresh you and to those who were not able to watch it, here's a glimpse of it.

The question was : Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you love, why or why not?

She answered: "If i had to change my religious beliefs, i would not marry the person that i love because the first person that i love is God who created me and i have my faith, my principles and this is what makes me who i am and if that person loves me, he should love my God, too."

My view on it: Congratulations, Shamcey. You answered that well. I agree. The one we should love first is God and if that person doesn't love God and doesn't even honor God, a relationship with that person is not worth fighting for. If we would choose God, He could provide a better person...not just a better person but the best person for us, the one who loves Him and the one that would really love us the way God wants us to be loved.

Relationship (Part II)

Most of our thoughts

are centered on the money we want to make,

the school we want to attend,

the body we aspire to have,

the spouse we want to marry,

the kind of person we want to become.

But the fact is that

nothing should concern us more

than our relationship with God.

Relationship

A relationship is an investment.

It's an investment of time...

of effort...

of money...

of almost everything in our lives.

Above all our relationships,

the best relationship that we must invest on

is our relationship with God...

for when we invest our time,

our money,

our effort,

and our everything to God,

there is no waste...

but there is a better return.

-Mari Ann Rose "Mariah" F. Gadapan
