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.

-Francis Chan
 Crazy Love

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.

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 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:))

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.
