2 Corinthians 9:13-14 – Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.

I was hit by last Sunday‘s bible study at the Bethany Baptist Church, the topic is about appreciation. Before coming to church I received a call from Tita Eva saying if I could make ‘lumpiang shanghai’ for Tito Roman as it’s his birthday celebration in the afternoon and plus the fact they all loved the one I gave them – ‘ang sarap kasi ng timpla mo‘ as Tita Eva said.

Dun sa bible study, sabi dapat daw maging appreciative tayo which is one of my so called defect. Inde kasi ako masyado naniniwala kapag napupuri yun mga ginagawa ko, lagi bang me hesitation though natutuwa ako sa naging achievement ko. Inde ko alam kung matatawa ako dun sa sermon basta alam ko bull’s eye talaga. Nature na kasi nating mga pinoy na laging me second thoughts pagnapupuri which is really not good. Dapat alisin natin ang doubts at tanggapin natin ng buong puso ang pagpuri sa tin.

From now I will not be doubtful in accepting compliments. Deserving naman ako para dun eh
