Let Go and Let God

Chapter 16

Kasama natin ang Diyos
'Di ako mangangamba
'Di ako mababalisa
Kasama natin ang Diyos

Kasama natin ang Diyos
'Di ako matatakot
'Di ako malulungkot
Kasama natin ang Diyos

Dumaan man ako sa ilog
'Di ako malulunod
Dumaan man ako sa apoy
'Di ako masusunog

Sinunod namin ang bawat step na ginawa ni Nathan. Dancer rin pala 'tong isang 'to e. Hindi lang marunong kumanta kundi marunong ding sumayaw. Medyo napasabay-sabay din ako sa pagkanta dahil medyo pamilyar sa'kin ang kinanta niya. Kahit sabihin na nating na-blackslide ako, hindi ko pa rin naman nakalimutan ang mga gospel songs. Sadyang sarado lang talaga ang isip at puso ko sa mga nakaraang taon at nasa ko ay hindi ko na gusto 'yon. But sometimes, nakanta ko ang mga 'yon nang hindi ko namamalayan.

"Lord, here are to worship, he we are to bow down God. Lord Jesus, open our hearts and our mouths to praise you, to worship and to magnify you, O God.."

Light of the world you stepped down into darkness
Open my eyes let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with you

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that you're my God
You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me

Lord, help me and guide me. Alam kong hindi pa tapos 'tong kinakaharap ko but all I ask and pray na gawin niyo po akong matatag. Don't let my faith be weak again. Help me to trust in you fully and give me a fully restoration, God. Help me to fight cause I know, God, that in your name there will be a victory. I declare that I will overcome all of this through you Jesus Christ. Thank you God for everything you've done to me. And help me na hindi ko ito ma-itake for granted ang pagmamahal mo. Help me to love you more than anybody else. Help me to have more faith in you.

"Hallelujah!Thank you God for being with us today. We give back all the glory, the highest praises and honor. In Jesus mighty name. Amen," pagtatapos ni Nathan. Nagpalakpakan kami bago umupo. Umayos muna kami ng upo bago tinuon ang pansin kay Aquila.

Malakas siyang tumikhim at kinabahang tumawa. "Biglaan talaga ito noh?Impromto kasi kaya maliit lang itong word na ibibigay ko. Hindi ko kasi ini-expect na ako ang magdadala," nanginginig na kamay na kinuha niya ang cellphone sa kanyang bulsa. "Since wala naman tayong dalang bible, cellphone nalang ang gagamitin natin. Let's open it on James chapter 1, verse 12."

Sinunod namin ang sinabi niya at binuksan ko na ang bible app(pinasa nito ni Zel noong mga nakaraang linggo) sa cellphone ko at pinili ang book na sinabi niya.

"Na-open niyo na?"

"Oo..."

"James 1:12 says, 'Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Before we start, mag-pray muna tayo," pinikit na namin ang aming mata at yumuko. "Heavenly Father, thank you for this day that you've given us. Thank you for the opportunity and favor na binigay mo ngayong araw na kami ay nagkakatipon. We pray, Lord God, that this activity won't end na hindi kami na-bless. I pray that you will guide me and give me wisdom and knowledge. I believe Lord God that all comes from my mouth ay hindi nanggaling sa'kin kundi sa'yo. I pray na ma-bless kami sa word mo at makakuha kami dito ng lesson. In your name we belive, in Jesus name we pray. Amen."
