come out, come out, wherever you are

i watched hide and seek with my cousins. its an alright movie. i kinda knew what was gonna happen half way through it tho.

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and i will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28

one has the capability to hide him/herself from the world, but not God. as much as he or she tries to get away, the Spirit will always be there by their side and the eyes of Love will always be watching over him and her.

so what's the use in hiding from the world? to get away from embarrassment? to lessen the pain inflicted by the harsh tongues of others? but really tho, it shouldnt matter. the more you experience and the more often you lift it up to God, the more graces you'll receive.

God sees who you really are and He still loves you. if you go to Him, he will take on your load of worries, your troubles, your burdens because He loves you that much. so just come out from wherever you are and however you are--if you're in the state of grace or not, if you feel sorrow or happiness; it doesnt matter--and go to Him and you should find peace.

let your light shine. let your love spread across the nations. let God in your life. let him use you to inspire others. let go and let God.

its a matter of making baby steps. i'm slowly getting there. how? by reflecting on the day--no matter if it was a good, not so good, or a bad day--after its long gone and giving God praises. through the yelling, the little misunderstandings, the laughter, the suspense that happened throught the day.. i know that it was all planned out for me. in the end, i can smile and say "praise God!"

yesterday night, i walked into the de castro's living room [or that room by the kitchen with the tv and stuff], i stood there and smiled. who was there? the LFers. my LFers. i had to savor the moment and praise God for the wonderful people he's blessed my life with. the same thing happened when i walked into the evangelista's [old] house for core this afternoon. i think the best one was when i stepped into my house after mass.

Praise God!
