Fault Finders

There really are some people who try to bring us down, by finding faults in our lives. May iba na nangungutya, nang-aabuso, o iba talagang trip lang. Pero what's really wrong about this is that, 'DI NILA INIISIP ANG NARARAMDAMAN NG IBA.

Pero the good thing is, meron talagang mga tao na pinapansin ang mga pagkakamali natin PARA I-BUILD UP TAYO. PARA PATATAGIN TAYO. PARA SUPORTAHAN TAYO. PARA MAGING MAS MAGALING TAYO SA SARILI NATIN. On the other hand, MAS INIISIP NILA ANG KAPAKANAN MO PARA SA KINABUKASAN, KAYA MONG TUMAYO.

There are 2 types of Fault finders:

1.     Breakers - sila 'yung mga mahilig mambasag ('di joke lang). Sila yung mga taong makutya sa iba. 'Yung mga 'di iniisip ang nararamdaman ng iba. 'Yung hinahanap ang MALI NILA SA MALI NG IBA. DEFENSE MECHANISM ba. Mas nagtutuon sila ng oras na hanapin ang mali ng iba, kesa magtuon ng oras para hanapin ang mali sa sarili nila.

2.     Stewards - sila naman yung mga ENCOURAGEMENT PERSON. Most of the time, sila 'yung BEST FRIEND natin. 'Di kasi best friend ang tawag sa kaibigang puro bola ang sinasabi. Stab friend ang tawag dun. Hinahanap nila ang mali natin para baguhin tayo. Para mas matuto at tumatag tayo.

Personally, I have more STEWARD friends that Breaker ones. I thank God for both, for He makes me see the other positive side of both. From stewards to build me up, and breakers to help me focus on Him. :) Ngayon..check ourselves. Sino ka at ako dito? Ano ang role mo sa kaibigan mo?

The greatest steward and best friend of all know it. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only best friend we have. He allows us to be in trials and gently make us see our present faults to help us CUT IT OUT. Sometimes, it's the good things that need to be taken away, pero it will bring in us the better person we are to be, by His will and plan. Sacrificial love nga. He wants what's best for us.

Sabi nga nya, "I am the vine; you are the branches. The one WHO REMAINS IN ME - AND I IN HIM - BEARS MUCH FRUIT, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing." | John 15:5

He wants us to bear fruit. Not be stagnant. Kaya our present faults that He somehow revealed is something that we need to give up. Sabi rin nya, "..dry branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire and are burned up." (John 15:6) So we, as His living stewards, must cast out the part that doesn’t bear fruit in our life.

God moves to make you standing more firm everyday. Minsan, ginagamit nya ang real best friend natin para sabihan tayo na 'di na tayo umaasenso sa gawaing ganto, ganyan, etc. He also uses other people to lead us to new branches. To new learning and abilities. When He saw in us that we bear fruit, He will give more. For whoever can be entrusted with little, can be entrusted with much.

Ngayon, how can BREAKERS stop what they're doing, and STEWARDS to continue? Fill your hearts with every word you speak, THROUGH LOVE. Real service happens through LOVE. If your heart is filled with faults and evil things, you will speak faults and evil things. But if you fill your heart with LOVE and COMPASSION, your words will be full of encouragements. Why? "For the overflowing of the heart, a man speaks." (Luke 6:45) Let the Spirit of God help you. Do not worry on what you will say, kasi si God ang tutulong sa'yo. :)

So, question is, who am I and who are you? A Breaker, or a Steward? What does God want me to do?

All glory and honor is to God! May His fruitful presence, unfailing love, grace, peace, and favor rest upon you. Amen.
