     He observed what I did and analyzed how I responded. He explained that I was too quick to repent and admit my wrongdoing. In his experience, he usually calms down and waits for the authority to initiate the conversation. Then he can respond with poise and nobility, d epending on their first words . He told me, "if they speak first, you've got them." When we start to accept and listen to others our knowledge broadens.      His voice was gentle, and loving, and didn't sound like he was condemning you. This is the same person who imparted to me the knowledge to listen to God's voice, not man in the past. He's one of the many who influenced how I made decisions this year.       As I reflect on our moments together, this verse appeared in my mind: " When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable, But one who restrains his lips is wise."(NASB) 1 - Proverbs 10:19. Whether you are talking with a patron, supervisor, cousin, or ev...

    As I was staring at the door, an unusual incident happened in my daily routine. A kid walked in front of me and asked for his father. I greeted him and asked where his parents  were . He mentioned that he was left in the car and his battery died. He wanted to look for his father inside of our facility.

He  exclaimed  with passion, "That's my dad!"       The moment he said that  I thought...

The second line of the song starts like this... 'Di mo man ako mahal ( You do not even love me ) ..."  Perhaps, God is speaking directly to us, his people. We claim that we love Him but our words do not match our acts. "... ito pa rin ako,  Nagmamahal nang tapat sa 'yo  ( I am still here, loving you truthfully ) ..." Even though we do not reciprocate God's love for us, he never changes. God is consistent with his love for us. We can not comprehend the nature of his love. The closest possible way to grasp his love is how he demonstrated his love for us. "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." 1 - Romans 5:8 "Bakit nga ba mahal kita  ( Why do I still love you? ) . ... " God does not wonder why he loves us. His love is not based on feeling, and it is unlimited. This phrase supports the song's theme, the lover's unwavering commitment.
