for everyone

People are cruel. They look at the outward appearance. Like Paul Potts, people thought he was a joke (because of his eyes and teeth). But he proved them wrong. In Britain's got talent - he was brilliant after all.

Have you ever been judged before? People never gave you a chance.
People stopped you from trying.

Hey, I have good news for you: "Don't listen to them".

Remember Blind Bart. He kept shouting (siguro dahil hindi nila siya makita --- bulag kasi sya eh)... "Jesus... Have mercy on me!"

He tried. He tried. And still tried. And then, Jesus gave him all the attention he needed.

In fact Jesus, in this occasion, said this famous line: "The Son of man came to serve... (Not to be served)."

It's like Jesus saying to him - "Hey, Man of faith am here for you. Ready to serve. What do you want me to do?" (Mk 10:44 - 50)

Message of Life: Have faith!
"TRY AND KEEP TRYING." --- Keep on believing!

Its only those who are sitting down and lying around who never gets a chance in life.

Go. Sing if you want. Dance. As you so desire. Serve. Wherever.

Always remember: Those who never tried are the real losers.

KEEP ON TRYING.... KEEP ON TRYING...

Jesus wants us to have a big faith.

I would say that sometimes faith is not to keep trying but to keep going. whatever it is trust God and keep following Him and His plan for you.

ok - once more - hope I can remember what I wrote.

Its great to keep on trying but it is equally as important to quit.....quit a bad habit, quit a bad relationship, quit a bad idea, quit a bad attitude....for it is only when one quits that allows hi/her to find the time and focus on that which is worthy of his/her time and keep on trying.

The key is not just trying - but discerning what we need to focus on. Once found that's when we should keep on trying and not quickly give up. Guys like Paul know that he had something - a great gift that needed to focus - something that need perseverance and not giving up.

Paul was a manager for a cell phone store - he took a 6 month sabbatical - (unofficially quit) - from his job in order to focus on that which needed his greatest effort. Keep trying but know also when to quit.

Honestly, there are times I feel the difficulty of blogging... but as Pastor Joey consistently remind us to keep the effort, keep the consistency, keep the presence... See... I am back! Thanks Blog Master.

man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart. Glad He did that for me.
