Marriage Under Pressure

To Face Reality (part 4)

So you both insulted me, mocked me, forsaken me, telling me that "Puro ka biblya, biblya! Huwag kang mag-tago sa likod ng Diyos!". I'm aware that being a man of God is often criticized, yet I will not be discouraged ("For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."--2 Corinthians 12:10). But what's wrong for being a man of God? What's wrong for being a servant of the Lord? What's wrong for being steadfast and faithful to my Creator? For God said that everything I do, I must do it for Him (Colossians 3:17, 23). Anong masama kung nasa likod man ako ng Diyos? Gusto pa nga ng Diyos na buhatin niya ako (Isaiah 46:4). The Scriptures even says: "Put on all the armor that God gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks." (Ephesians 6:11), also "So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate." (Ephesians 6:14) So that's the reason you are under the influenced of the Devil because you never wanted to wear the armor that God gives you. You refused to wear the truth around you waist. You instead wore the chains of the Devil that he used to control your every move, thoughts, and words ("What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!"--Isaiah 5:18). Minamasama ninyo ang paglilingkod ko sa Diyos, pero ayaw ninyo na masamain ang paglilingkod ninyo sa Demonyo? Subalit kaya kong endure lahat ng uri ng sakit na binibigay ninyo. If Jesus endured all the insults, persecutions, and other contradictions, then why can't I? ("Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won't become weary and give up."--Hebrews 12:3)

The truth is mas priority mo pa ang selfish desires mo, rather than kay God. The truth is mas priority mo pa ang patuloy na pag-gawa ng kasalanang ito, rather than your child. What kind of mother that often stays in a separate room for a whole day, to increment such adulterous and other related immoral ways with that wicked guy, sleeping during day, waking before dusk to repeat the cycle all over again, only leaving the room to eat and visit the bathroom, that if ever outside still indulge in sinning using your gadgets. Another adulterous guy's scheme? I'm so afraid na sa pag-laki ng baby natin sa piling ninyong dalawa, ma-influence ninyo pa siya for sure ng ungodly ways ninyo. Knowing that you both don't fear God and trust His will. And for our child to smoke, use marijuana, or conduct other vices someday, is not far from that. Paanong paraan mo mapapalapit sa Diyos at sa mga kautusan nito ang ating anak, kung ikaw mismo ay ayaw mapalapit sa Diyos at sumunod sa kautusan niya?

The reality is we are married. Matrimony is a serious and holy sacrament. It is not just a child's game na merong "taym pers!" at "ayawan na!". It is a sacred union na hindi mo basta sasabihing "kasal lang tayo sa papel." Dahil kung ganyan rin lang ang points of view at logic ng mga tao sa pagiging sacredness ng isang sakramentong binasbasan ng Diyos, wala na sigurong mag-papakasal dahil wala naman sense ito di ba? Saying such words also show disrespect and neglecting God's sovereignty over sacrament. When two couples are married, they not just received God's blessings. They too received God himself. The Scriptures says "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." (Hebrews 13:4)

The fact is hindi mo matanggap na kaya kong mag-bago. Dahil sa sarili mo hindi mo gustong mag-bago. Gusto mo may karamay ka sa pagiging matigas ng puso mo. Sorry but my heart is being driven by the Spirit. I do stumble in many ways (James 3:2), but I know how to confess wholeheartedly, and that what matters most. You only remember my mistakes but not the good things I did for us. And this kind of attitude makes you easily discontented to many things.
