Reflection of our Sin

The existence of a human being is a wonderful gift which values the so called LIFE. Life that enables us to determine in this world, how to  live naturally in our FAITH for His great creation, as HE offered it to us. Genesis 1:27-28 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 

God designed us as an extremely significant creation from His own image and likeness. He gives us the power over those creatures he had molded on this globe. But, the essence of God’s creation acquired Him a total disappointment because of the restlessness of every being and that means us. These caused the barrier of the relation between Man and God to wither. The cause why every generation would not be satisfied enough of what they have, though they often boast about it, because of PRIDE and DISCONTENT.

 

 

Genesis 3:4-5 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye earth thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” The sins that made us to depart from this wonderful Garden of Love. Genesis 3:23-25 “ Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground form which he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Now, we propel the life after doing each desirable matter which caused us to depart from the love of God. And lead ourselves in our own dingy way of unrighteousness and conviction. The path which opens the door of insignificant choices. The choice which made Him shed a thousand tears like the pouring drops of rain of which every human being ought to not feel. His heartaches from His cavernous heart is of the least significant to us. The ocean flows of his teardrops when He feels the pain because of our obdurateness, until His wrath equipped us through the roaring thunderstorm and the heavy lightning from the mourning sky which carves death.

Look at our frenzied world! The reality which enables us to depart from His love. The love that we can't enjoy because of these hindrance which is produced by our sins. This some times makes it difficult for us to be a PERFECT HUMAN. Since, we were sinners; Romans 2:12, 3:10 "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law'; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."

How depressing that our beloved Creator gained only nothing from his CREATION. Why are we, being special to Him, busted His great plans for us? We continue to bruise His heart which carved a mark in it- that matter mostly reflects the agony made by us.

Happy Life Qoutes

I am thankful because I am happy in my life.

- Gandhi -

A happy life is one spent in learning, earning, and yearning.

- Lillian Gish -

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

- Thich Nhat Hanh -

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year’s course.Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

- Carl Jung -

It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.

- Helen Keller -

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

- Helen Keller -

Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.

- Fran Lebowitz -

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

- Norman MacEwan -

To the woman who complained that riches hadn’t made her happy, the Master said “You speak as if luxury and comfort were ingredients of happiness; whereas all you need to be really happy, my dear, is something to be enthusiastic about.

- Anthony de Mello -

I miss my Blog

How I miss my homepage!! Yes, it took a long time that I did not visited "A Maiden's Testimony."  I miss writing.  But sometimes, in our life we need priorities.  We have another world beside of this blogosphere.  We need to give attention to ourselves. Because it is hard that someday we realized that we are behind in reality of life.

Well, I have no regret to forget first my blogosphere community.  Because I learned to handle my time without any rush, I learned to choose, I learned to let go, I learned to forget, I learned to remember, I learned to forgive. All such things helps me a lot how to deal every aspect of life.  

I cant deny that I hardly understand the life I am facing before.  The road that I take still blurry, but I tried to open my eyes. I tried to open and let my eyes to see around.  Maybe this can help her and found out that the one she met could help her to find the wonderful path she aimed.  

Well, that's for today.  I hope i can have time to write again here.  

Thank you so much guys, for visiting A Maiden's Testimony.

Alone but...

Being alone keeps me to fight all things comes the road that I walk through. In every moment that I stumbled, I thought I was alone, because when I looked around, there was no one with me. No...no..and no one who tried to get my hand, because I am alone.... As I continued to walk on the rough way, I did not notice that I was walking in a path which leads me to the life that I never expected. I continue my journey, I never noticed that there was lot of things comes and then gone. While walking alone, the direction that I taken that I know is a good one, in my direction is not all good, because this good direction also make me  stumble. My journey never stopped there. I had , those now in tried to find a fine road to walk in. Then, I tried to look around if somebody was there who ...One time, when I was in the center of the road, I observed that not all way was rough, I tried to go in that direction which I felt more comfortable. Then, I started to think positively, I bow my head and pray.  I know God never leave me alone, He leads me in His ways.

Thank you Lord.

The existence of language by lolliipii (daughter)

The existence of language is essential to mankind for it serves as a medium of communication and, a source of survival for the majority. In the Philippines, both the Filipino and English language are used as media of instruction in public and private schools, government agencies and, local and national corporations, among others. The English language has played a substantial role in the lives of the Filipinos, but its partial abandonment would not cost us that much.

Our dependence to English proficiency might actually be the cause of our country’s underdevelopment- and that is more expensive than not being an expert in the English language. Majority of our countrymen advocates the use of English as an exclusive medium of instruction in our local schools, which serves as an advantage to schooled Filipinos. But let us take a closer look at our neighboring country, Thailand- whose people are not as adept as Filipinos in terms of speaking in English. They may seem uncompetitive in call-center English but Thailand had surpassed the Philippines in every area of development. The locals of Thailand are not known English speakers yet they are better at promoting their country’s tourism than us, Filipinos. Moreover, they don’t need to send tens of thousands of their countrymen in a foreign country to keep their economy stable.

Do you know why Philippines is still located at the bottom of the hierarchy? It’s because we don’t understand one another. Perhaps the 1987 Bilingual Policy in Education has its drawbacks. The said policy aims to improve the use of Filipino and English by teaching and using both languages in all levels as media of instruction. However, we neither cultivated nor promoted, to its maximum level, the use of both languages. In fact, the continuing pre dominance of English for teaching has produced a labor force that is barely literate in English or Filipino, and that this constitutes mediocrity in the workplace. It is not anymore a surprise that foreign investors set their production facilities in other countries that may have poorer English skills than we do but, by far, surpass us with technological developments and labor productivity. Furthermore, it confuses me how our Philippine presidents, and our government, expect to gather the entire nation to work towards unity when they are speaking in a foreign language that only an educated elite can fully decipher when majority of the Filipinos are not that familiar with the language. We cannot work towards unity when we don’t know what the other party is saying. I am not saying that the use and practice of the English language must be abolished because I, as a student, still acknowledge its importance. But what is more significant than the ability to speak the English language or communicate with foreigners is our capacity to innovate and grasp abstract ideas, and the ability to unite towards common goals. These qualities can be acquired more efficiently and effectively if it is taught in a language that everyone can naturally understand- like the language a person grew up with. As our former President Joseph Estrada, with his carabao English, once reminded us that the Japanese and many other developed nations have the difficulty in speaking the English language but that was never a hindrance to their development. The Japanese built their economies on the ability to make things that other nations want- to spark new ideas, invent products, and develop systems to manufacture them, rather than serving foreigners. The Philippines’ educational system need to teach the students more than a foreign language- they must teach them how to think critically.
