"BAKIT" List #12

"WHY" List #12

BAKIT mahirap ibalik ang tiwala?

Why is it so hard to earn someone’s trust back?

Brief Description 

Tanong ng isang tao sa karelasyon nya na niloko nya.
A person’s question who have betrayed his /her partner's trust.

My Smart Answer

Dahil ang tiwala ay hindi ganun kabilis ibalik. Kailangan mong panghirapan at patunayan na karapat dapat  kang pagkatiwalaan muli.

YBecause trust cannot be gained overnight. You will have to earn it back overtime by showing him/her that you are worthy of his/her trust again

Today's Inspiration: Trust His Heart

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will....   
Ephesians 1:11

How do you know whether it is God, the devil, or just circumstances that is behind the things that happen?
Following the death of his sweet wife of thirty-three years, Vance Havner wrote, "Sometimes when trouble hits you real hard, it is tough to determine whether it is divine chastisement or a devilish attack." The months when she lay dying were the darkest days of his life. He says, "For me this meant five months by a hospital bed of a dying wife who was wasting away with a disease I had never heard of."
Then Havner says, "I do not understand some of the things we went through. There were a lot of things I do not have any clever answer for."
Many times we do not have all the answers to why things happen. Nonetheless, we must continue to walk by faith. Instead of looking for explanations, we can pause and listen to the Father's voice saying, "Trust Me." If you are His child, God works all things after the fashion of His will (Ephesians 1:11)

Today's Inspiration: Shortcut to Happiness

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful....   
Colossians 3:15 NKJV

Almost 300 years ago the English writer William Law wrote about a shortcut to happiness. "If anyone would tell you the shortest, surest way to happiness and all perfection, he must tell you to make it a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for everything that happens to you. For it is certain that whatever seeming calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it you will turn it into a blessing."
Learning to praise and thank God for everything is an expression of your faith. Your act of thanking God for everything that happens proves that you believe God is alive and that it is He, not chance or fate, that really is in control of your life. 
Praising God for what happens does not necessarily mean that you understand why everything happens. When your heart cries out "Why?" God often says, "Just trust me."
William Law, like untold thousands before him, discovered that praising God for His workmanship in life will bring joy and happiness. Start right now by thanking Him for His goodness to you.
