parable of the DOG

may it be kept as it is..
as the dog watched the cat whom his family dint like.. he approached the cat and made friends.. they became close even if it was so awkward for both of them.. but the dog knew from the very start that he liked the cat but they wont be forever because of who they are.. the happy thing is that they learned from each other, forgetting what is legalism,enjoying what was right,and beneficial for the long term... time came, when they jst have to say goodbye,.. they cried but kept their friendship up to now..

then, the dog found a fish who caught his attention,when all his family really agreed to him to make friends,more than friends forever.. the dog seemed to not like it..but he just found what he wanted from the fish... personality,.. but later, he then realized that they cant be together because of their habitat..(cant think of other term)hehe they,learned, became mature as they remmbr the moments they had which inspired them in many ways...

again!,the dog, found his family friend whom he knew since he was young..they were never close but most of the dogs tease them... as they become attracted to each other.. but things changed when they met.. but the dog still wanted to know her,but his Master said,.. just bless her,tell her who u are,what happened to you, what inspires u,.. because in just a while,she'll be gone again.. and so the dog kept silent,followed his Master,as he approaches her,and said.. "let's eat tonight,i just want to bless you before we part ways"...

after the experience, the dog faced lots of creatures in the whole planet, but he was never attracted anymore,..

he then always stares at his Master,waiting for answers..commands..question?..will the dog find a friend again?..that will be forever?.. yes,actually he already has.. that's HIS MASTER..right?.. anyone else?.. yes,.. someday,when he's all responsible and capable of taking care of her friend in all areas of her life...

i will wait for you... i will be faithful then for you..i will always love you..i will do my best to get better everyday for you...i will make sure i'll be a good spouse and father to our children someday...we will be forever,whatever happens,i will fight for our relationshipto stay forever.. because i do believe,GOD gave you to me..i will prepare hard,although it will take long.. but ill make sure to make u happy when we meet someday... i love you...
no one specific except for you...

HEARING HIM

Hear the Still Small Voice

Hear, O my people, and I will speak
- psalm 50:7

Today's fast-paced society is filled with noise. Cell phones jangling. Tires squealing. Babies screaming. Sirens blaring. Music pounding. Advertisers shouting. With all that competes for our attention-and shatters our concentration-it's no wonder most people have a hard time hearing God's voice. Some may reach the conclusion taht god isn't communicating, but the gap exists at the human end, not the divine one. God is always speaking-reaching out-but we are not always listening.

It's impossible to have a close relationship without communication, and listening is vital to communication. We must listen to God if we want to understand how He feels about us and how He wants us to live. He might not speak with a thundering voice from the heavens anymore, but neither is He silet. His voice is no less clear than it ever was. You may hear it through the advice of a friend, a Scripture passage, a song on the radio, even the words of a child.

Here are three ideas for improving you listening-to-God skills. In several different aspects of your spiritual life.

1. When you read your Bible, make it a focused, interactive experience.Eliminate distractions. For example, don't read a few verses during commercial breaks while watching your favorite TV show. Approach the privilege of Bible-reading with a clear mind and an open heart. Think deeply about each word you read. Be willing to learn something new; be open to discover something you've missed before. Be willing to change as a result of what you read.

As you read, think about how you can apply the words-immediately and practically-to your life. Write down any action steps you plan to take. Underline or highlight passages you want to memorize. If you come to a passage that is confusing or troubling, higlight that as well and plan to ask a pastor or other spiritual mentor about it. Pray about what you read. Ask God for the wisdom to truly understand His word-and the courage and the perseverance to live by by biblical principles.

Don't think of your Bible as some ancient artifact or conversation piece. Think of it as a hotline to God's wisdom and love. The power of God's message doesn't reside in an impressive leather binding or pages glided with gold, but in the Bible's ability to transform your heart, mind, and soul.

2. When you pray, take time, and take care. Are your prayers quick monologue to God or true conversations with Him? Prayer is as much about listening to God as it is about speaking to Him. It might be tempting to hit God with a barrage of requests, utter a few thank-yous, and then hurry on to the next order of the day. This is not true prayer

True prayer is unhurried. It's communion with your heavenly Father, the creator of of the universe. So slow down. Approach God in prayer with quietness and reverence. Pay attention to what He might be telling you. The Bible says that if we are tune with God, our own hearts can instruct us. Be open you pray. What is God saying to your heart?

3. Consider meditating. you might be uncomfortable with the term MEDITATION. It might evoke images of bearded gurus, gared in camelhair robes, sitting cross-legged in a circle and chanting meaningless monosyllables. Not so. To meditate means, simply, to think deeply and continously about something.

If you want to listen more closely to the voice of God, medtation can mean focusing on one particular Bible verse, and pondering what it says about God's character and His feeling toward humanity. It can mean thinking about god's goodness, His kindness. It can mean taking time to appreciate what God has done in your life, the way He's guided your steps, protected you from harm, provided for your needs.

Do all you can to be more attentive to God. It can make the difference between just knowing about God and truly knowing Him personally. That's a difference that will transform your life and bring ou hope for tomorrow and courage for today. That difference can and will transform your life.

Now that you have me listen, I FINALLY understand. - Psalm 40:6

*** p.84-86, CHECKLIST for LIFE for Men...***

Ultimately, It's His grace that enables us to understand... by OUR passion to experience INITMACY with HIM then God is pleased as He gives His GRACE as well.

His Voice we begin to hear as we GO INTIMATE, with confident trust that He speaks to us..
It's only by FAITH that we believe that He speaks... HE grants us more revelation as we believe that He speaks personally in our lives... believe therefore, and know this says the LORD, Im gonna cause you to prophecy and speak encouragement to people to break bondages, restore relationships, bring salvation,...

It's only through His Voice that we begin to move EXTRA ordinary....
MEN who HEAR and OBEY HIS WORD are destined for GREATER CALLING through risks, challenges, changes, odds, etc...

God bless!
