is there not a cause..?!

Is there not a cause?I Sam. 17:29
When the nation is crushed under the heel of the tyranny of corruption, is there not a cause?
When fathers and mothers, sons and daughters flee to other shores to work as slaves in brothels, as educated domestics doing menial chores – is there not a cause?
When the brightest minds and the most promising young professionals excel and progress in other countries but have no opportunities to bloom to full potential in their own – is there not a cause?
When hopelessness grips the hearts of the old and only darkness looms on the horizon for the young, is there not a cause?
When greed and dishonesty in public service is the norm and integrity and honesty are deemed foolish, is there not a cause?
Is there not a cause, o young and old revolutionaries, to lift up the banner of Christ and take a stand in holiness and purity so that light becomes distinguishable from darkness?
Is this not a cause worthy for us to give our lives to – to see Jesus and His kingdom established on the earth so that His glory is revealed among us – is this not a cause?
When a young child’s body is gripped with hunger and driven to drugs – is there not a cause?
When churches fail in brotherly love, disobedient to Christ’s command to lay down one’s life for a brother or sister, is there not a cause?
When giants of powerlessness and apathy fill the church pews, when so-called Christians live mediocre lives – no different from the ways of the world – is there not a cause?
Is this not a cause worthy to live for, to walk worthy of the One who called us – destroying strongholds of wickedness and executing God’s judgments through our holy lives – is this not a cause?
Now is the time.
Now is the season.
When radical change is no longer a choice but an imperative – when there are no other options open – is there not a cause?
Take up your holy weapons.
They have the power to throw down strongholds. Forge them in the altar of sacrifice and temper them with your river of tears.
In the midst of sufferings, learn to obeyAnd when troubles come, do not doubt.
There is One who leads in holy garmentsHis robes drenched in the blood of sacrifice
Arise, young man, young womanStrengthen your knees, o wise ones.
There is One who calls and rallies His armyto slay Goliaths in this day.
No ground shall be surrendered – we shall occupy!No gates shall stand before Him.
Yes. There is a cause.
Gather to me my consecrated ones, those who have made a covenant with me through sacrifice… Psa 50:5.

Mhe, nalulungkot ako at naiiyak. Andaming umaaway kay Lord. Lam mo na, yung usual na "He doesn't exist blah blah" na argument. Masakit pala. At ang hirap makipaglaban at ang hirap Siya idepensa.

Issues of the mom-heart

I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully.  Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed. I think I just had post-partum depression.  I just got back from my US business trip and I just bursted into tears a few days after while singing Jesus loves me -- as if I'm telling that to myself. I'm grateful that I have a husband who listens and understands and encourages me that I can do it! I just realized the root cause(s) of what's going on after that incident. I was too attached to Callie that I don't want her to leave my site when I'm with her. I

Maturity

I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ...  The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God.   To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don&#

Thoughts

Exodus Moses brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when God freed them. Joseph made his family swear under oath that when God pays them a visit, they have to carry his bones with them. Joseph mentioned that surely, God will take them to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Maybe, Joseph's brothers tell this to their sons & daughters so even after x number of years, they are still reminded of Joseph's request. The Israelites know that the time will come when God will take them out of Egypt but maybe they just didn't believe so He needed Moses to perform the miracles, that they might know Him, trust Him and believe in Him. Sometimes, we know what God said and what God promised us... but when it's already in front of us, it's hard to determine that God is already moving. Why? Because we are comfortable with the misery that we are in to. It dulls our senses and makes us forget the promise of God. Be careful with where you are right now.
