SIR JOEL JOHN DEGUIA CANDELARIA (SHEN JI LIANG)

Sometimes it really amazed me how facebook world gives an extraordinary excitement to everyone, because for me, facebook doesn’t really work as the source of fun.  Maybe the reason is that I’m not that pretty so there’s no excitement in posting my selfies (wahaha!) or maybe because I’m just a weird person; a very KJ person (nyahaha!) Or I think, the true reason is that I’m just irritated to the selfishness of majority, which their fb is all about themselves, not for the benefits of others.

I have no fb.  Really.  A fact.  But one wonderful day, I decided to open my lil’ sis’ fb named cutie “Kesiah.”  While browsing for almost 30 minutes, I’ve seen some persons who devote their fb to share the Gospel of Christ; I was so really, really, really blessed :) I’ve seen also some persons who devote their fb to express their love & affection to their beloved, loveones & special someone; I was so really, really, really touched :) hahaha!

After a few days…

I decided again to open Kesiah’s fb, to take a glimpse to the fb of those people who blessed & touched my heart by their unselfish posts.  While continuing browsing, I was surprised by the post of this person (in full English!) I asked Kesiah, “Who’s that man?” & she said that “That’s my teacher!”

Me: oh really! Tell him if I can have his email.

So here it is.

Wanna say an, “extra-large thank you” for being a blessing to fb world.  Honestly, inspiring sa’kin ‘yung mga person na nai-express ang ganda ng mundo at ang biyaya ng Diyos in full English.

-rina.

AVODAH: VOCATION, CALLING, SERVICE

More than just means to make money, our jobs can be one vehicle for setting the world right.


Avodah connotes service. (It is also the word for slavery, which is involuntary service.) Work is not only a necessary part of life; it is a form of service to the world, to the rest of humanity, and to God. We are meant to be of service, to be partners with God in the ongoing creation of the world. Yet even as we serve God, we also serve our fellow human beings.

THANK YOU FOR NEVER LEAVING ME NO MATTER WHAT

Perhaps you’ve traveled down your own dusty road to Emmaus with circumstances leaving you confused, troubled, and depressed. Perhaps you been discouraged and wondered: Where in the world is Jesus anyway?

If so, remember this my friend, just because we cannot see Jesus or sense His
presence, does not mean that He is absent. Just because we can’t see Him
working does not mean that He isn’t.

He is walking the path with you…
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age…Matthew 28:20

He is praying for you
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them…Hebrews 7:25

He is working on your behalf
In his defense Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working… John 5:17

Jesus assures us with these words: “And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” …Matthew 28:20


Let’s Pray:
Jesus, thank You for always being with me, for praying for me, and for working
on my behalf. Help me to not lose heart when times get tough and the road gets rough. Thank You for never leaving me…no matter what.  In Your Name I pray, Amen.
