          The ancient book of Ruth is reimagined, through my eyes and maybe you'd be interested to see the way I envision it.✨❤️

          Ruth, a Moabite women, rejected by her own, after a certain incident, quietly searches for the comfort of true love but in every man's eyes and arms, there is no ease or truth or love until she meets Boaz..
          
          
          But before that, it's downhill through the terrains and pain of life. Losing her loved ones, marrying a man, and entering into a unfruitful marriage that lasts a decade and so much more.
          
          
          
          Through it all Ruth finds that the love she desires has always been pouring out of her heart, given to those around her. It's always been waiting in the country Israel for her to know and learn of the name Yahweh.✨
          
          
          
          The desire of love is engraved in every heart, but for others it burns and longs, alot more deeper, bleeding open and leaving scars.

The world hates us because we are of God ♡︎
          
          “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you."
          
          John 15:18-19

THE ONE WHO SATISFIES✨
          
          Jesus said to them, “I Am the Bread of Life. Come every day to Me and you will never be hungry. Believe in Me and you will never be thirsty. - John 6:35❤
          
          “All you people who are thirsty, come! Here is water for you to drink. Don’t worry if you have no money. Come, eat and drink until you are full! You don’t need money. The milk and wine are free. Why waste your money on something that is not real food? Why should you work for something that does not really satisfy you? Listen closely to Me and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the food that satisfies your soul. Listen closely to what I say. Listen to Me so that you will live. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever. It will be an agreement you can trust, like the one I made with David— a promise to love him and be loyal to him forever. - Isaiah 55:1-3 ❤

Ecclesiastes 5:10-12
          
          Those who love money will never be satisfied with the money they have. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! 
          
          The more money you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!
          
          People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.

It is better to go to a home where there is mourning than to one where there is a party, because the living should always remind themselves that death is waiting for us all.
          
          Sorrow is better than laughter; it may sadden your face, but it sharpens your understanding.
           
          Someone who is always thinking about happiness is a fool. A wise person thinks about death.
          
          Ecclesiastes 7:2-4✨

"Bakit natin ipagdadamot sa Diyos ang mga bagay na sa Kanya naman nagmula?"
          
          Habang nagmumuni-muni ako ng mga bagay-bagay kanina, this is the message that God impressed to me. Oo nga nuh, everything comes from the Lord, our breath, our strength, our life, the knowledge, wisdom, the time, the boldness. Even our hearts and mind will be corrupted without our God.
          
          So bakit paulit-ulit nating ipinagdadamot sa Diyos ang mga bagay na hinihingi Niya, wherein the first place sa Kanya din nagmula?
          
          Nothing in this world ang pagmamay-ari natin na pwede nating ibigay at ialay sa Diyos, not even our life—all comes from Him.
          
          A great reminder to everyone of us, ang isang taong kinukuha o inaangkin ang mga bagay na hindi naman kanya ay maituturing na magnanakaw. Start to have a life na total surrendered sa paanan ng Diyos. 
          
          'Wag mong kukunin ang parteng, dapat ay sa Diyos na.
          
          Because we belong to God, and we are owned by Him.
          
          Like how God impressed me the word "MINE" while I am praying, indeed, everythinggggggggg belongs to Him alone.
          
          YOU BELONG TO GOD, blessings!
          
          Have a life na surrendered ang emotion, ang will, at ang intellect sa Diyos. Wala kang itira para sa sarili mo, let everything be overpower by His Sovereignty.
          
          Pagmamay-ari ka na ng Diyos.

Christ suffered while He was in His body. So you should strengthen yourselves with the same kind of thinking Christ had. The one who accepts suffering in this life has clearly decided to stop sinning. 
          
          ____
          
          My friends, don’t be surprised at the painful things that you are now suffering, which are testing your faith. Don’t think that something strange is happening to you. But you should be happy that you are sharing in Christ’s sufferings. You will be happy and full of joy when Christ shows His glory. 
          
          ____
          
          When people say bad things to you because you follow Christ, consider it a blessing. When that happens, it shows that God’s Spirit, the Spirit of glory, is with you. 
          
          1 Peter 4:1, 12-14❤

Trials and problems are just an instrument of God para rin sa ika-bubuti natin. Don't look at it as a strong storm na ang motibo ay ang patayin ka lang. Hindi iyon ang purpose na plinano ng Diyos kung bakit Nya inallow na dumaan yung bagyo na yun sayo. He never wants that. Ang plano Nya ay para i-mold ka pa. He use that storm para ipa-realize sayo na kailangan mo Sya. Na Sya ang matibay na moog mo, at ang tanging kailangan mo sa buhay mo. Storms leads you to God more. Kagaya ng kung paano hanapin at silungan ng mga sinasalanta ng bagyo ang Evacuation center. Kung paanong hinahanap ng mga tao ang liwanag pag nasadlak sila sa dilim. Kung paano takbuhan ng batang paslit ang kanyang magulang para magsumbong at magtago. Ganoon ang gusto at purpose ng Lord kung bakit Nya ina-allow ang mga bagyo, pagsubok at problema sa mga buhay natin. At iyon ay para maalala at takbuhan rin natin Sya. Silungan at pagtaguan natin Sya. He is our only safe place in this world, kase mapanganib ang mundo. Kaya kung may mga problema man tayo ngayon, be cheerful!! Kase ibig sabihin lang no'n, God is leading you to Him and protecting you from this dark and cruel world.
          
          

Salmo 29:4-5
          Umawit kayo ng mga papuri sa PANGINOON,
          Kayong mga tapat sa Kanya.
          Papurihan ninyo ang Kanyang Banal na Pangalan.
          Dahil ang Kanyang galit ay hindi nagtatagal,
          Ngunit ang Kanyang kabutihan ay magpakailanman.
          Maaaring sa gabi ay may pagluha,
          Pero pagsapit ng umaga ay may ligaya.
          
          _-_
          
          Ang Pagbungad ng bagong umaga ay isang Paalala.
          
          Sa totoo, nang likhain ng Diyos ang umaga at gabi ay hindi Niya iyon ginawa for Himself. Kase sabi sa bible, "Walang pinagkaiba sa Kanya ang dilim at liwanag, dahil parehong maliwanag sa Kanya ang lahat."
          
          Ginawa Niya ito for us. Para i-remind tayo na we are just a human. We need rest, and also to remind us na ang nangyari kahapon ay hindi katulad ng mangyayari ngayon. It is a reminder na ang love Niya ay laging bago sa bawat araw.
          Sabi nga sa kanta:
          
          Leave behind what happened yesterday,
          Cause today there's a new thing happening.
          
          Kaya kapatid, kung may bagay na mula sa past ang naghihinder sayo para namnamin ang grace ng Lord ngayong araw. Confess your sin to God and repent. Also palayain mo din ang sarili mo sa guilt.
          
          Kase ang bawat araw, ay laging bago.
          Ang bawat araw ay meant for us to be reminded na hindi magdwell in the past.
          
          He got us.
          
          God bless guys! ❤️

Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.
