PDL - Day 5

Luke 16:10a "Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won't be faithful in large ones."
DAY 5 - Seeing Life from God's View


"The way you see your life shapes your life"

"How do you see your life?"

Isn't it quite fitting to answer that question first before we start living, or knowing for this matter, our purpose in life? Honestly, I never really thought of how i see my life. I know that my life will end someday and all i know is that i really have to enjoy it while it lasts. I know clearly what i want with my life, my dreams, my goals. But then again going back to day one, IT IS NOT ABOUT ME. Now the bible offers 3 metaphors that teach God's view of Life here on earth:

  • Test
  • Trust
  • Temporary Assignment
The first two was discussed in this chapter. Life on earth is a Test. It is a constant series of tests. Character is best developed by tests and ALL of life is a test. Some test may be major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies. Though we MUST be sure that all this test will be of our advantage. AND He never allows the test you face be greater than the grace He gives you to handle them.
Life on earth is a Trust. We own nothing in this life. Everything is borrowed from Him and Him alone. At the end of our lives we will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well we handles what God had entrusted to us.

Just like how most of the students do, we only study for the major ones and miss out on the little ones. But big or small it will still have an eternal effect. There were some trials that i haven't realized that I was being tested. A lot of time I fail, but Thanks to His never ending grace, I can still get back on track. I believe that the greatest matters God has entrusted to me are the people around me. Specially those who don't know Him yet. God has entrusted me to live my life accordingly so in that way i can be a living testimony of his love to them :)

mY 4th yr project in values.. as i remember it.. our teacher asked us to choose which philosophy is best applied in our lives.. and this is how i did it! :)) --- HAHAHA ANG HABA PALA XD --- I, my self, prefer to be more of a realist. Realism is seeing things as what they truly are. It is not wrong to dream and to create a vision of what you want to be or how things you want to be in the future but being able to see the true value of a certain object is, to what I believe, is a blessing. I once read in a book, though it is only in the writer’s opinion, it says that when you die you will not actually go to this “paradise” but instead God will give you the chance for Him to explain your life and that will be the greatest gift you can ever receive. I believe in that. That being able to see the real meaning why you have met this certain someone, experienced this certain situation and felt those certain feelings will be the best reward one can ever receive. Through realism, we can achieve th...

MARIEL!

HAHA whaT mariel means by urban dictionary XD SUPER LOL A girl that is very spontaneous that always has some amazing advise to give. She'll always be there even if she has something better to do. Basically the best person you can meet in life. =] also, very talented. "Dangggggg that Mariel girl has got it going on!!!" Not, as said by other people, a slut, but in fact a highly intelligent, sarcastic, virgin. They frequently sigh at the stupidity that they are surrounded with Jazz: I dont dress slutty, i get all A's, AND my IQ is 120 Ho: Psshaw! Your SUCH a Mariel. Im going to go have sex with 10 diffrent guys then fail all my tests and repeat the grade! A dumbass who has no idea what is going on around her (or him but that would be weird) Mariel thought there was fifty-one states yesterday, so i slapped her and she shut up.
