💭 Reflection: Ang Buhay ay Panandalian 💭

Minsan nakakalimutan natin — ang buhay dito sa mundo ay pansamantala lang. ⏳
Lahat ng meron tayo ngayon, isang araw ay mawawala rin. Kaya habang may oras pa, sulitin natin bawat sandali, hindi sa walang kabuluhang bagay, kundi sa mga bagay na nagbibigay kaluguran sa Diyos. 🙏💛

Sabi sa James 4:14,

“You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”
Totoo ‘to — parang hamog lang ang buhay, madaling mawala.

Pero sa kabila ng pagiging maiksi ng buhay, binigyan tayo ng Diyos ng pagkakataon para magmahal, magpatawad, tumulong, at magpasalamat.
Kaya habang humihinga pa tayo, let’s live with purpose and joy, pero laging may pusong nakasentro sa Kanya. ❤️

Tulad ng sabi sa Ecclesiastes 3:12-13,

“I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.”

Enjoy life, yes — pero huwag kalimutan kung Kanino galing ang lahat.

Ang tunay na saya ay ‘yung alam mong habang nag-eenjoy ka, nasa tama ka sa harap ng Diyos. 🌤️
