Have you ever considered yourself blessed lately? I mean, being under the same roof with your family, sleeping safe and sound, no one is sick and you can eat 3 meals a day.

This letter was sent to emergency room for patient I was handling. I couldn’t leave his side because I saw his reaction. He’s about to cry.

The letter was from his wife. I asked him what does he need so I can try to find his wife and lend her money to buy what he need. He was trying to say something I couldn’t understand so he slightly removed his bipap so I could hear.

“Kahit wag na po yung kailangan ko. Sya nalang po wala pong pera yon buong araw na po hindi kumakain yon”
and that breaks my heart.

We’re so busy in our lives making progress, making money, making dreams. We tend to forget what we have now is more than enough.

Tell me you don’t have money to checkout the item you added in your cart, i’ll tell you about every bantay in the hospital who worries about bills and at the same time about food and needs at home.

Tell me you are bored and needs some fun, i’ll tell you about every patient being isolated from their family and how they feel alone, sad and hurt all at once.

Tell me about the food that you ordered and didn’t like how it was cooked, i’ll tell you about the people who can’t even taste what they are eating.

Tell me about how you hated the fact that you can’t still afford aircon and i’ll tell you about my patient that cried because she couldn’t breathe and how she asked me to find a paper she can use to fan herself because her relatives haven’t sent an electric fan for her yet.

Man, you are so blessed.
unlike you, other people are barely making it.

So please give more kindness and love.
and don’t forget to be grateful.
every day.

John 14:1-3 KJV
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

MARRIAGE

God's ideal plan for marriage is one man for one woman for one lifetime.

God's pattern for marital happiness is evident when a man loves and leads his family, with children who obey and reverence their parents (Eph. 6:1-4), with a wife who respects and supports her husband's leadership. (Eph. 5:21-33)

A mutually supportive attitude must characterize both husband and wife they are to succeed in building a harmonious home.

Illustration: Marriage is so important in the mind of God that it was the first of three divine institutions and was patterned to illustrate Christ's love for the church.

Application: Christians should therefore do their part in contributing to the success of the family.
(First Reference, Gen. 2:24; Primary Reference, Eph. 5:22 6:4; cf. Matt. 19:3.)

Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart has had moments of glory in his ministry, but he has also had moments of humiliation.
The devil finally upset the life of this anointed man Jimmy SWAGGART starting at home until he was trapped with a young woman.

Seeing the scandal this caused, his community suspended him. All his relatives described him as a false pastor.
And hundreds of his church members abandoned him.

Forgotten and despised, Jimmy SWAGGART is left alone. The whole media spoke of the scandal and condemnation; Even the men of God made this sad story the center of their message.

Finally the day came when we had to see the opinion of the "rival" and who could replace Jimmy SWAGGART.

People thought BILLY GRAHAM would be happy about what happened. Because he had the ability to win over Jimmy's followers for his classes he would take.

▪️Reporters asked him what he thought of the situation. With great surprise, BILLY GRAHAM responds:
"If it happened to Jimmy, it could happen to me."

▪️"This is a holy man of God. He won thousands of souls for CHRIST....

He's already wounded, let's not end it, let's heal and lift up our soldier".

▪️Dear brothers and sisters; Never rejoice when you see the devil destroying the ministry of a brother, pastor or some known evangelist.

▪️Never be happy when you see the devil destabilizing the marriage of a brother, pastor or evangelist.

▪️Never smile when the devil runs a campaign to taint the testimony of a brother or sister in your local church.

▪️Never be happy, when you see the devil using someone to destroy your pastor, even if you had disagreements with him,
because indeed those who rejoice over the failures of some men or women of God are nothing but slaves and servants of the devil
strengthening the tricks of hell cooperating with every attack on God's work, its end will be in the lake of fire burning with sulfur.

▪️Pray for those who have fallen and help them rise to the glory of God.

Galatians 6:1-10 King James Version
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
