1 John 2:15-16

Today, I'm very lonely and uninspired but the Lord trying to make me happy. This passage from the Book of John really Touches my heart. allow me to quote it.

"Do not love the world,
Nor the things that are in the world
If anyone love the world,
The Love of the Father is not in him.
Because all that is in the world,
is the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life;
which is not from the Father
but from the world."

It is a beautiful passage! To start with this year 2011. I said to myself that it is the start of my vocation journey. Everyday it seems to be serious and thank God this day I open a Marian Retreat book by Bernard J. Lefrois, SVD and materialism and earthly pleasure is a main concern. In our life it is hard to detach with the things we have. Let us be simple with our example - Cellphone is one of them- it become a part but a addiction to us Filipinos. We want a extravagant life - a house, car, jewelries it is like we salivate with this thing that we forgot to see a happy thought of praising God and serving the Almighty by the means of other. We center thyself with selfish happiness rather than sacrifice thyself for the happiness for mankind to develop so called Authentic happiness. Because we own by Christ not for own self. We create by our Lord to help one another not to go on with our comfort zone.

Happy New year to all!

Praise God Always! I Love you Lord
