The Measure of a Man

(Man refers to all Humanity)

Measurement is a basic part of this planet; the truth is physical measurement is really important in our lives. This is proven by the fact that we do physical measurements every day. If physical measurement is really important in the efficiency of our lives, how much more important the measurement of our spirituality is.

Spiritual measurement can be determined by how far we are willing to go for God. God wants 100% ownership; not just 99.99%; if not 100% of one’s life is given to God, the devil will find a way to use the little percentage one has not surrendered to God against that person.

Therefore, it is really crucial that we give our all to God once we decide to live our lives for him. Indeed, if only a handful of men, women and children would live up to the measurement of God, our nation can be truly blessed.

How is a man measured?

1. A man is measured by what he flees from.

If you are a man of God, you will run away from sin.

a. Flee from adultery (1 Cor 6:18)

b. Flee from covetousness and love of money (1 Tim 6:10-11)

2. A man is measured by what he follows after (1 Tim 6:11b ...and follow after righteousness...)

Things to follow after:

a. Righteousness:

- being  in the right standing with God.

- a lifelong quest.

*Being a Christian is a lifetime marathon/journey. A person cannot do this alone; he/she has to do it with Christ.

To know what you are following after, you can ask yourself the following questions:

-What are you pursuing in your life?

-Who owns you?

*If Jesus owns you, then you should be valuable. Remember how He died for you and paid a huge price to save you.

b. Godliness- being like God.

- It is a sad fact that 64% of Filipinos curse. Some of the 36% left do not feel offended when people curse. Being like God is being offended when people curse.

c. Faith- staying with God

d. Love- loving God and other people (even the unlovable ones)

e. Patience- enduring negative things

f. Gentleness(meekness)- being meek is not being weak; gentleness allows you to have control over your power (your power or ability to be angry, proud, etc.)

3. A man is measured by what he fights for (1 Tim 1:18) (1Tim 6:12)

Fighting the good fight of faith is the only fight worth fighting for.

*If you are a part-time Christian, you cannot fight full-time devils. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but we fight a spiritual warfare.

*Being a full time Christian is measuring up to God's expectations. It is putting God above all. Now, are you ready to die for God?

THREE THINGS TO DO TO NOT WAVER IN FAITH

1. Remember the past

(Exo 13:3) Remember what God did for you and sing to the Lord, praise his holy name.  (Psalms 30:4)

2. Fight for the future

*We need to understand that we have something to look forward to amidst all the noises, stress, pressures and sufferings.

Keep Jeremiah 29:11 in mind.

*For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

3. Remember that others have made it.

Excerpts from my Journal

What? Can that distressed notebook be called a journall? Nah. I don’t think so. It’s just a scratch notebook.. Full of thoughts, songs, sketches.. Hahaha..  Oh well, I have a journal in my laptop anyway, last updated centuries ago.. XD

“It’s hard to keep your sanity when you think you’re going crazy.”

“Even the sight of this messy handwriting of mine makes me wanna puke.”

“Funny how I can feel so loved and empty at the same time. How I can feel like rejoicing and mourning at the same time. It’s like being excited with life yet being suicidal. But I won’t commit suicide, that the stupidest thing to do. (make that MOST STUPIDEST for EMPHASIS)”

“I believe that God created the stars and the moon and the clouds and all the other magical things you can see in the sky so that at nights when someone feels so fucked up, he/she can just look at the sky, see its beauty and remember that God loves him/her.”

“He’s willing to listen to me even though my problem is the least important because He loves me.”

“She was just there

Yesterday morning

Standing by the stairs

With a smile she’s faking….”

“Never to leave, it’s there to last.

 We can take off all our masks.

 Forget all sadness from the past….”

“There is an imp in my head

Repeating “she’s dead, she’s dead.

Yet I refuse to believe,

Myself, I’d rather deceive…”

“As I try to recall what happened to me yesterday and at the beginning of this day, I found out that no words can actually describe how I felt. Haha..

Lande ksi ni R….. Ung senglot n un.. Dame sinasabi… nakakaloka..* Haha”

”At least my crushes are getting younger and younger. Maybe later in my life I’ll be fond of someone who’s close to my age. “

“When I got home, though, I started to cry after I entered the privacy of my room.. It just dawned on me that I will really miss them all.”

“He’s cute and attractive in a way, but he’s not someone you can call “really handsome” or “hot”.. And I love him just for who he is.. “

“Enough of that crap.. I don’t think I want to talk about it.”

And that, I think is the best way to end this. ^_^

(This is another recycled post from my old blog.)

*English translation: It's because R is such a flirt, that drunkard.. saying a lot of crazy stuff..

If I can touch your heart, I can tel how you feel... 

(I don't actually know the name of this character)

and this is something I doodled during one of those boring times in the classroom.. I didn't have a pencil in hand so I had to use a ball point pen.. it was not easy, but I guess I managed to make it look like how I wanted it to look. 

I actually felt guilty for not listening to my mates who were reporting that day.. OK, maybe I didn't.. ^_^

"I look at you....

....

Love, you know, is an extravagant feeling… 

People like this topic a lot because deep down, no matter how shitty their attitudes are, they know how to love… really love… The love that does not keep record of wrongs, the love that’s patient… kind… and perfect... the one that is unconditional… the love that is like that of God…

Are people really capable of that?? Of course… God made us in His likeness… and that’s part of our lives that we cannot get rid of… cause I think, when God breathed the breath of life to us, love was there... in that breath… Cause He is love, himself… He loves us… that’s why He created us in the first place… that’s why He gave His son for us… 

(Some parts obviously deleted)

We find love in unexpected places. Cause love is magical. Love is beyond our comprehension. Cause love is God. ^_^
