ChæRī's Compilations

One of the best ways to love others is to pray for them, because through prayers we open the door to the help only God can provide.

Every struggle teaches us not to depend on ourselves, but to God. . .

DEAR LADIES…

1. Do not allow what you have or do not have, define your value.

2. Don't pursue success alone; work on yourself too

3. That you can't afford "luxury" at the moment shouldn't make you feel worthless.

4. Transform the situation around you into something of value.

5. Do not be in the midst of friends who make you feel inferior; Let your circle of friends be people who see value in you.

6. How valuable you think you are will determine the value others will place on you.

7. Do not decrease your value because a man doesn't see your worth.

8. Don't run after guys like a market woman that calls everyone's attention even if they are not interested in her product. "Be like ShopRite that people walk in majestically because they need it and it's worth it".

9. If you have the luxury to enjoy life, go ahead but luxury shouldn't replace your self worth.

10. People can only value you according to the value you placed on yourself.

11. If everything you have is put aside, what is your personal worth?

12. Don't see marriage as a poverty alleviation program. Men don't like marrying women who are liabilities nowadays. Build your finance, be an asset and add value to the life of that man; don't be a leech in his life.

💕Stand up! Stand tall!

💕Say No to feeling inferior!

💕Say no to mediocrity!

💕Whatever good thing your hand finds to do, do with all diligence.

💕Love yourself.

Don't be ashamed of your good hustle, it is better off than begging all the time.

♰ By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command.

♱ ‭‭By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death because God had taken him away.

♱ ‭‭By faith Sarah who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children.

♱ ‭‭By faith Abraham when God tested him, offered Isaac, his one & only son as a sacrifice.

♱ ‭‭By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land.

♱ ‭‭By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.

♱ By faith the mouths of the Lion were shut when Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego were thrown into the lions den.

♱ By faith the foundations of the prison were shaken and all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed when Paul & Silas sang praises unto God.

These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.

Don't compare your journey with somebody else's. Each of us has a secret battle that not a lot of people know. Our hardship comes in different forms. If you ever see someone making the cut, chances are, you are only seeing what's on the surface. So celebrate your own journey. Know that your pains & sacrifices will someday lead you to a place of your wildest dreams.

God is seeking for worshipers who’ll worship Him in Spirit and in truth. God created me to Worship Him in this manner. Amazingly, I don’t worship Him for what He has or hasn’t done for me, I Worship Him for who He is.

He is the Alpha and the Omega, The beginning and the end. He is the author and the finisher of our faith. He is the one who was and is and is to come. He is good and His love endures forever. His faithfulness continues through all the generations. His mercies fail not; His compassion is new every morning.

He is the good shepherd; He is our refuge, our fortress and our shield. He is our Solid Rock and our Foundation; He is our present help in times of trouble. He is God and that is just who He is.

He loves, cares and protects. He hears the prayers of His people. He corrects with love, and rebukes with a tender heart. He wounds and yet He heals. He is God! In the heaven, In the earth and under the earth, there has never been and never will be any like Him.

All the other gods are the works of men but He is the Most High. He is God alone. From before time begun, He is on His Holy throne. And right now, in the good times and bad, He remains to be God. He is God on the mountains and God in the valley; He is God of the day and doesn’t change by night. He is the only true and living God. He is a Mighty warrior, great in battle; Jehovah is His name.

He is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider; Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our Peace; Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer; Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our Banner. He is Adonai, Ebenezer, Elohim, Emmanuel – God with us. He is the Lord our righteousness.

He forgives them that falls, Heals the sick, Redeems the lost, Cares for the worried, Loves the whole mankind. He uplifts the humble, He gives grace to all men and shows favor to His followers. He sustains the weary, Gives strength to the weak, Gives life to the dead, Holds the hands of the faint-hearted, Perfects the crooked and Gives hope to the distressed. He is perfect in all His ways to us.

He is an indescribable God. His love is unexplainable. His grace is sufficient. He shows no favoritism. His peace transcends all understanding. His joy is the strength of the weary. His hope does not disappoint. His forgiveness is practical. His nature is unfathomable. His presence and glory; none can withstand. His will is perfect, good, pleasing and acceptable.

Science can't explain Him; Mathematics cant count the marvelous works of His hands; English cannot describe Him; Literature cannot define Him; History cannot tell His being because He is self-existent; Geography cannot compare His art of creation. Physics cannot replace His nature and creation; Religious Education cannot tell all about Him. He is beyond all things.

He is the unchangeable changer. He is God and that is just the way He is. And for this: I LIVE TO WORSHIP HIM! 🙇‍♀️

REFLECTION AFTER THE STORM. ⛈

1. Purity (PAGLILINIS) ❄️

Nagkalat na mga sanga at dahon, that’s what you are going see on the ground every after storm. Lahat ng bulok na parte ng puno ay pwersahang babaliin at papabagsakin ng malakas na hangin at ulan.
Look at this, when we are experiencing storm in life maaring tayo ay dumadaan sa isang paglilinis. Purification. Inaalis ang mga bulok na bagay sa buhay. All of our rotten character, stinky attitude, and ungodly lifestyle must be trimmed down, so that we may live holy and presentable to God.
You may see parts of yourself broken and scattered into pieces on the ground after experiencing a storm in life, but understand that God just took out all of the unnecessary branches, leaves, and fruits in you so that you may be worthy to be used by Him, mightily and effectively.

2. Humility (PAGPAPAKUMBABA) 🙇🏻‍♂️

Nakakita ka na ba ng puno na pinayuko ng bagyo? The storm will not just pull out the branches and leaves from the tree, it will also leave the tree bowed down!
I believe that storm is one of the greatest teachers of humility in life. As it batters us with its heavy rain and strong wind, it will forcefully bow us down. Kahit gaano ka pa kataas sa buhay ngayon, sino ka man o ano ka man, storm in life will teach you to be humble; family, health, financial, marriage, or personal problem, whatever that is, if it hits you, kahit gaano ka pa kataas o kalakas, kapag tinamaan ka ng mga ganyang unos sa buhay, siguradong papayukuin ka nito, tuturuang magpakumbaba, lumapit at humingi ng tulong sa Panginoon.

Stay grounded and deep-rooted with God. You must learn to trust God at all times, not on your own strength and understanding. Huwag maging mayabang o isiping kaya mo kahit isa mo lang. Apart from God we can do nothing, and we are nothing.

If you are experiencing storm in life right now, maybe God is just teaching you to be humble. After this storm, you are going to be who God wants you to be.

3. Victory (PAGTATAGUMPAY) 💪

After the branches and leaves are trimmed down, after leaving the tree bowed down, what will be left in a tree are its needed and strongest parts. After the process of purity and humility, comes your victory! Like every tree that surpassed a storm, you will become stronger and flexible in life! Kahit gaano pa kalakas o karami ang dadating pa na bagyo, you will overcome it all, through Christ!
May purpose ang bagyo. Maraming ituturo ito sayo. Gagawin kang malinis, mapagkumbaba, at magumpay nito.

As I grow up I realized that life will test you so many times until the day that being strong is your only choice, I've experienced countless breakdowns, feeling lost while asking myself what is my purpose, I found myself settling for less and judge by a lot of people, I've been used and forgotten but I don't regret any of those moments because I've learned a lot.
I've learned how to be tough and to guard my heart when it's necessary. I've learned that history sometimes never repeats itself and sometimes you have to let go and move towards the blessings you deserve. I've been buried in the dark a few times and I learned to love myself in there. Being in the dark doesn't mean you've been defeated because hope begins in the dark, the bigger the hope in your heart the wider the light that will mold you to be the better version of yourself 🥀

Life Lesson!

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and accidentally bumps you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped me!!!"

Wrong answer!

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
*Whatever is inside the cup that will be spilled out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which really happens), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.

*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"*

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?

Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it ☕

Seasons. In Tagalog, panahon.

It comes, it goes. . .

We can’t stop it.

But what we can do is to expect that it is coming. Kung tag-init ngayon, alam natin na sa mga susunod na araw ay tag-ulan naman. Matapos ay magiging tag-lamig, at babalik ulit sa tag-init. There’s a certain pattern and if left unnoticed, it will just pass us by.

Pagdating sa buhay may-asawa, dumadaan din tayo sa iba’t-ibang panahon ng buhay. Minsan masaya, minsan naman malungkot. Minsan masagana, minsan naman tag-tuyot.

Paano nga ba magtitiwala kung mismo ang sarili ay duda sa patutunguhan ng bawat hakbang...

Paano nga ba patuloy na hahakbang kung nauubusan na nang pag-asa sa magandang patutunguhan...

Sometimes, it's hard for us to step in our faith kasi hindi tayo sigurado sa kahihinatnan ng ating nilalakaran. But, God wants you to trust in His. Ano man ang gawin ng kaaway along the way, hindi no'n mapipigilan ang magandang plano na inihanda na ni Lord para sa 'yo. Kaya ituloy mo ang paghakbang, Kapatid — humakbang ka nang may pananampalataya.

Wag kalimutan: Ang relasyon mo sa Panginoon ang pinakamahalaga. Whether you are single, in a relationship, or even married with kids — laging si LORD muna. Siya dapat ang laging UNA ☝

Even the youth will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

03/10/2022

Just because you lost a few battles doesn't mean you won't win the war, just because you made a few mistakes doesn't mean your life is coming to an end.

Out of the ashes, you can still rise. When the dust comes down, you can still be standing.

Never allow a loss to make you feel like a loser, never allow a mistake to make you feel your life is a mistake.

Yes, you lost but you had the courage to fight. Yes, you made a mistake but you made an attempt to try.

The undesirable result of your efforts is not a worthwhile excuse to go back into your shell.

You are not made for the safety of the harbour, you are destined for the adventure on the sea.

The treasures you seek won't be gotten by skimming the surface, you must launch into the deep.

No matter how many times you failed, you are not a failure. You only become one when you stop trying.

Because you lose doesn't make you a loser, you only become one when you accept it.

As long as you are alive, things can still change. As long as you believe, it's not over yet.

To The Unappreciated You,

Just in case thoughts of discouragement knock on your door today,
and tell you lies like,
“You are unappreciated.”
“No one noticed what you did.”
“You’ve just wasted your efforts.”
“You are a failure.”
Let this truth remind you:

Anything you do
is never done in vain
regardless of the results.

When praise or even a “thank you” wasn’t said for all that you did, please be reminded that your endeavors are never wasted. The value of your efforts never depends on people’s responses but on the love you’ve poured into them.

When all your labors seem to go unnoticed, please be reminded of who your audience ought to be — that it was never the eyes of those around you, but the One who is above you. People might not see, nor appreciate what you are doing, but nothing escapes the eyes of God. He sees your efforts and He never forgets.

When all your toils seem to be fruitless, please be reminded that your fruitfulness is never determined by the quantity of your harvest, but by the quality of the seeds you’ve sown. We’ve succumbed to the idea that gain is always about having, we forget that in the Lord, losing is a gain.

When all your expectations of how it will all come out seem to be but a failure, please be reminded that sometimes, success, in the eyes of people, is not the kind of success that God defines. Sometimes it is our wrong definition of success that condemns us. Success is not about gaining the result you want; it is about having done what God wants and wills for us.

When you have done all and yet end up like you’re not enough,
when you have given all and yet end up nowhere but in losing,
when you have tried all and yet end up never winning,
please remember,
when you do it with love for the Lord,
it will always count, and none of it will be in vain.
Because in God, anything done in love for Him is done best.

Let love be your motive, let God be your Reward.

So please never get tired of aiming and doing things for His glory. Others’ opinions might discourage you. Your own expectations might disappoint you. But if you make God your only audience to please, you will always find Him ENOUGH,
and there,
you will become unstoppable,
regardless.

“Therefore, whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." (Colossians 3:23)

No matter how bad things have been, today is another opportunity to make them better. Holding on to what has been wrong will only add more pain to the present.

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, focusing on the mistakes of the past drains the joy a new day brings. Direct your time and energy to the good in the present, do not let it pass you by.

You may not be able to do anything about what has been, but you can do something about what is here and what is to come.

Focus on the light, and the dark will lose its grip, live for what today has to offer, not what yesterday has taken away.

It's a new day, put in your best, live the life you were born to live.

Thinking big is a good thing when you are setting goals, but it becomes a bad thing when you are working to achieve your goals.

To get started on your goal, make it as easy as possible to begin.

You are not taking action because you are not motivated to do so, you are not motivated to do so because you are overwhelmed by the size of the task in front of you.

How do you make a goal easy to start?

No matter how great the goal you have for the future, for it to be achieved, it must find expression in what you do daily.

So choose a small and simple thing you can do right now that gets you going in the direction of that goal. Taking small specific action, and doing so consistently is what leads to your great goals being achieved.

You won't always be motivated to act, so don't wait for motivation. It's action that leads to motivation, not the other way round.

The most effective of all human motivation is progress. As you take small intentional steps towards your goal, you become more motivated to continue.

Think big, start small, build momentum, that's how you win. It's a new month, IT'S TIME TO BEGIN AGAIN.

The more you believe and trust God, the more room you give Him to do wonders in your life.

Most of the problems and difficulties you face is as a result of your never-ending doubts and unwillingness to believe every word He says.

When God speaks, who are you to question Him? If He tells you He will do it, why do you try to find out how?

Like little children, you must learn to trust God completely, and never let the bitterness from your past experiences truncate the great plans He has for you.

Life is hard, life is uncertain, and that's more reason you must trust in His unwavering love. People change, nothing lasts forever, the only constant thing is God. He remains the same, He is everlasting, no one compares to Him.

No one trusts Him and gets disappointed. Even in your unfaithfulness, He remains faithful. Let's hang on to every word He says and choose to never let go of His hand.

God can do everything, even beyond your wildest dreams, but things will fall apart when you begin to doubt.

The things you worry about, God is already sorting them out. If there is anything I have learned from life, It is to always believe whatever God says, to simply trust and obey.

03/09/2022

Always give your all in everything you do, you may not always get all you hoped for, but there is this joy that comes from knowing you did your best with all you had.

Most of our life's regrets don't come from not reaching our goals, but from knowing deep down that we gave less than we are capable of and we could have done better.

Others can do less than their maximum capacity, but not you. Whatever your hands find to do, do with all your heart, that will set you apart.

When you always give your best, you end up receiving the best from God, for He never fails to take care of the rest.

Don't expect to get great results with half-hearted efforts, to get the best life have to offer, your best is the price to pay.

Give it your all, or none at all.

"Always be grateful."

Kahit sa maliit o malaki 'mang bagay, learn to appreciate and thank God for it.

Thankfulness is the key that turns your situation around because it changes you, your outlook, and your attitude.

Matuto tayong laging magpasalamat sa Lord -- instead of focusing on the negative.

Matuto rin tayong magpasalamat sa mga taong binigay ng Lord para sa atin. Yung mga taong hindi lang tayo mamahalin, pero irerebuke at iccorrect rin.

Kapatid, this is a reminder for you. Talo ng pagiging mapagpasalamat sa Diyos at pag-pupuri sa Kanya ang lahat ng binabato sa atin ng kaaway.

Whether pagsubok 'man 'yan, still thank God for it. (It has a purpose and it will mold you to become better)

Whether hindi 'man ibigay agad sa'yo ng Lord yung prayers mo, still thank God for it kasi mas the best yung ibibigay Niya para sa'yo.

Always choose to have a grateful heart -- kahit na sa kung saang season ang meron ka ngayon!

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 🔥

Not all storms come to destroy you, some come to reveal you, not all difficulties come to weaken you, some come to awaken you to see what you are made of.

You can never know how strong you are until being strong is your only option, you can never know how high you can fly, until you get to the edge of the cliff and the only way out is to spread your wings and fly.

When life wants you to grow, it makes you uncomfortable, when life wants you to stretch, it brings you in front of what is bigger than your present capacity.

Your pain is not a waste, your struggles are not in vain, there's more to your life than what you are experiencing now, don't be satisfied with being ordinary, when extraordinary is waiting.

Life is happening for you, not against you. Outgrow all smallness, it's time to go higher.

"Once,
I ran from fear
so fear controlled me.
Until I learned to hold fear
like a newborn.
Listen to it,
but not give in.
Honour it,
but not worship it.
Fear could not stop me
anymore.
I walked with courage
into the storm.
I still have fear,
but it does not have me.

Once,
I was ashamed of who I was.
I invited shame into my heart.
I let it burn.
It told me, "I am only trying
to protect your vulnerability."
I thanked shame dearly,
and stepped into life anyway,
unashamed,
with shame as a lover.

Once,
I had great sadness
buried deep inside.
I invited it to come out and play.
I wept oceans.
My tear ducts ran dry.
And I found joy right there.
Right at the core of my sorrow.
It was heartbreak that taught
me how to love.

Once,
I had anxiety.
A mind that wouldn't stop.
Thoughts that wouldn't be silent.
So I stopped trying to
silence them.
And I dropped out of the mind,
and into the Earth.
Into the mud.
Where I was held strong
like a tree,
unshakeable,
safe.

Once,
anger burned in the depths.
I called anger into the light
of myself.
I felt its shocking power.
I let my heart pound
and my blood boil.
Listened to it,
finally.
And it screamed,
"Respect yourself fiercely now!"
"Speak your truth with passion!"
"Say no when you mean no!"
"Walk your path with courage!"
"Let no one speak for you!"
Anger became an honest friend.
A truthful guide.
A beautiful wild child.

Once,
loneliness cut deep.
I tried to distract
and numb myself.
Ran to people and places
and things.
Even pretended I was "happy."
But soon I could not run anymore.
And I tumbled into the heart
of loneliness.
And I died and was reborn
into an exquisite solitude
and stillness that connected me
to all things.
So I was not lonely,
but alone with All Life.
My heart One with all other hearts.

Once,
I ran from difficult feelings.
Now, they are my advisors,
confidants, friends,
and they all have a home in me,
and they all belong
and have dignity.
I am sensitive, soft, fragile,
my arms wrapped around
all my inner children.
And in my sensitivity, power.
In my fragility,
an unshakeable presence.

In the depths of my wounds,
in what I had named “darkness,”
I found a blazing Light
that guides me now in battle.
I became a warrior
when I turned towards myself.
✨
And started listening."
