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.

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[ All gifts except love will be superseded one day ]

Walking Her Home

This is a great song...one of my favorite christian love songs. My favorite line on this song's lyrics is this, "He wandered through the best days of her life. 60 years together and he never left her side." I wish every man is like that.

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)

read also my review of this book here.

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

How Does The Bible Define A Man Who Commits Adultery?

There are many verses in the Bible to warn people not to commit adultery but i just want to share here two of my bible readings today which are found in Proverbs 6:32-33 and I want to share them here in different versions:

New International Version:

"But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away."

Amplified Bible:

"But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks heart and understanding (moral principle and prudence); he who does it is destroying his own life. Wounds and disgrace will he get, and his reproach will not be wiped away."

The Message Translations:

"Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive; Expect a bloody nose, a black eye, and a reputation ruined for good."

New Century Version:

"A man who takes part in adultery has no sense; he will destroy himself. He will be beaten up and disgraced, and his shame will never go away."

New Living Translation:

But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself. He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased."

New King James Version:

"Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul. Wounds and dishonour he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away."

Thoughts: These verses are very strong. If you consider yourself intelligent and wise but commits adultery, in the eyes of God, you're still a fool. Adultery is a brainless act. Think about it. I pray that God will make you more faithful to your spouse.

Warning Against Adultery

Proverbs 6:20-37

New Century Version (NCV)

My son, keep your father's commands,
and don't forget your mother's teaching.

Keep their words in mind forever
as though you had them tied around your neck.

They will guide you when you walk.
They will guard you when you sleep.

They will speak to you when you are awake.

These commands are like a lamp;
       this teaching is like a light.
    And the correction that comes from them
       will help you have life.

They will keep you from sinful women
and from the pleasing words of another man's unfaithful wife.

Don't desire her because she is beautiful.
Don't let her capture you by the way she looks at you.

A prostitute will treat you like a loaf of bread,
and a woman who takes part in adultery may cost you your life.

You cannot carry hot coals against your chest
without burning your clothes,
and you cannot walk on hot coals
without burning your feet.

The same is true if you have sexual relations with another man's wife.
Anyone who does so will be punished.
People don't hate a thief
when he steals because he is hungry.

But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
and it may cost him everything he owns.

A man who takes part in adultery has no sense;
he will destroy himself.

He will be beaten up and disgraced,
and his shame will never go away.

Jealousy makes a husband very angry,
and he will have no pity when he gets revenge.

He will accept no payment for the wrong;
he will take no amount of money.

The Kind Of Wife The Lord Gives (From Proverbs 19:14)

I don't know...but recently, i have a strong conviction to post here something that would help men.

When i read Proverbs 19:14, I was fascinated with different translations of the kind of wife God gives.

To all men out there, here's the kind of wife God gives (from Proverbs 19:14):

A WISE WIFE

Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a wise wife is a gift from the Lord. Proverbs 19:14 New Century Version (NCV)

A PRUDENT WIFE

Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. Proverbs 19:14 New International Version (NIV)

A WISE, UNDERSTANDING AND PRUDENT WIFE

House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from the Lord. Proverbs 19:14, Amplified Bible (AMP)

A SENSIBLE WIFE

You may inherit all you own from your parents, but a sensible wife is a gift from the LORD. Proverbs 19:14,Contemporary English Version (CEV)

A CONGENIAL SPOUSE

House and land are handed down from parents, but a congenial spouse comes straight from God. Proverbs 19:14 The Message (MSG)

God knows your heart, men. God knows the best for you. So come to Him and He will give you a prudent, wise, understanding, sensible and congenial wife. Proverbs 18:22 says, "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD." If you're still searching for the woman you're going to marry, seek God and He will give you the best.

The Measure Of A Man

Lyrics

This world can analyze and size you up
And throw you on the scales
They can IQ you and run you through
Their rigorous details
They can do their best to rate
And they'll place you on their charts
And then back it up with scientific smarts

But there's more to what you're worth
Than what their human eyes can see

CHORUS

Oh I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I found out the measure of a man
God knows and understand
For He looks inside to the bottom of your heart
And what's in the heart defines
The measure of a man

Well you can doubt your worth
And search for who you are and where you stand
But God made you in His image
When He formed you in His hands
And He looks at you with mercy
And He sees you through His love
You're His child and that will always be enough

For there's more to what your worth
Than you could ever comprehend

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

You can spend your life pursuing physical perfection
But there's so much more than ever meets the eye
For God looks through the surface
And he defines your worth by what is on the inside

REPEAT CHORUS

This Post Is For Men

Text: Acts 15:26 "men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Thoughts:

Last year, I posted on http://woman-with-a-mission.blogspot.com the things I've learned from one of the greatest sermons i have ever heard entitled Man Up and in that sermon, there were a lot of things that men could learn. Even us women learned from it. That sermon gave an impact to me that made me decide to share it on my blog site for men to read it.

Early this morning, when i read the text above (Acts 15:26) during my personal devotion , i was moved again to write a post for men.

In this generation, men who have beautiful bodies, good looks, riches and power are being adored. There's nothing wrong with beautiful bodies, good looks or riches or power but if men's focus are mainly on these things plus the many women in their lives, there's something wrong.

Jason Illian, author of Undressed wrote, "No matter how great his personal qualities are, he is an empty vessel without a heart for the Lord." I agree.

As a woman, I'm also attracted with men with beautiful bodies, good looks, riches and power but a man with all these qualities but lack a personal relationship with the Lord and doesn't have the love for God's work are nothing to me...how much more in the eyes of God.

Yes, God loves sinners and God wants to save everyone but God honors men who honors him.

1 Samuel 2:30

“Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.’ But now the LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.

John 12:26

Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

Men, you may have tasted all the beautiful women in the whole world, you may have all the beautiful houses and cars in the world, you may have all the treasures here on earth, you may have the most beautiful body and the best look...but you're still empty if you don't a personal relationship with the Lord and have no regard or love for the work of God.

Isn't it wonderful if you would get a commendation from the Most Outstanding Man, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords- Jesus Christ that you have honored him and risked your life for His name?

Matthew 6:19-21 Contemporary English Version (CEV) says, "Don't store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them. Instead, store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them. Your heart will always be where your treasure is."

If you haven't given your heart and your life to God, it's about time to surrender to Him. God has so many things in store for you. Be men who love Him and be men who have passion to do His work.

If A Man Really Loves A Woman...

If a man really loves a woman, he is willing to wait no matter how long it would take.

*****

"So Jacob worked for Laban seven years so he could marry Rachel. But they seemed like just a few days to him because he loved Rachel very much."

Genesis 29:20 New Century Version
