This morning, I went to GBC (Grace Bible Church) to try out their morning service sa bible study. Natuwa ako sa nakita ko at nalaman ko dun sa morning service na un. Ganda pa ng topic. Tungkol sa finding somebody to love. Try ko ielaborate sainyo.

These are some guidelines on how to find somebody.. (ISAAC)

1. Instruction
2. Standard
3. Ask
4. Attitude
5. Circumstances

Hm… npaka intriguing diba? Sige, for all singles out there.. eto na guidelines nyo!! Hahaa.. Jowks…

Instruction. We need to ask elders or somebody with knowledge on something for guide or instructions. Meaning to say if we want to pursue somebody, if we want to court someone, ask for instructions. Maybe sa parents, cell leaders, pastors, even mature friends and SPECIALLY GOD natin pede kau magtanong and ask ng direction. Kasi if we move in our own direction without even having the slightest idea of what we will be facing, malalaglag lang tayo. Tama ba ko? Sabi saProverbs 13:1, “A wise son listens to his father’s advice, but a proud son will not listen to correction. ”

Standard. If we ask for somebody to love… we should set standards.. Anu ba tong standards na tinutukkoy ko? Eto ung magiging batayan natin sa pagpili ng right woman para sa heart natin. Kasi baka pili kau nang pili e di kau mkapag build ng strong foundation kasi iba beliefs nyo, in the end bka mahirapan kau lalo and even your soon-to-be-dughters and sons… So what SHOULD be our standards ladies and getlemen.? 

1. Seek someone who shows MATURITY in character and attitude… Baka sa mga pinipili natin e medyo immature sa paggawa ng decisions in life. You should look for a woman or man that shows MATURITY. Hindi po tinutukoy ung itsurang mature, but the attitude. Kung panu maghandle ng situations.
2. SAbi sa Proverbs 31:30 ‘Grace and beauty can fool you, but a woman who respects the LORD should be praised"… Hmmm… 
3. Sabi naman sa Proverbs 12:4, “A good wife is like a crown to her husband, but a shameful wife is like a cancer. ”, sa21:9 ‘It is better to live in a small corner on the roof than to share the house with a woman who is always arguing. ’, sa 21:19 " It is better to live alone in the desert than with a quick-tempered wife who loves to argue"

So in shorter and simpler terms, select a woman that FEARS the Lord.. Diba? Need I say more?

ASK. Eto dito tayo magaling. Hahahaa… Sabi sa James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”

Diba ask tayo nang ask? Hmmm.. Pero ang tanong e TAMA ba ung hinihiing natin kay God? Ang mga requests ba natin e nasa STANDARDS ni God? Kumbaga sa media e, tama ba ung mga tanong natin?

Sabi sa Genesis 24:12,“ The servant said, "LORD, you are the God of my master Abraham. Please show your kindness to my master by helping me find a wife for his son Isaac. ” If you will look into the story, ito ung part na sinendout na ni Abraham ung servant nya para maghanap ng aasawhin ni Isaac. Ang ginawa ni servant e NANGHINGI XA NG GUIDANCE KAY LORD. Check nyo pa ung Genesis 24:14,nanghingi sya ng sign diba? Tama naman ung hiniing nya and devoted sya na masunod si Master Abaham nya.. Kaya un, gnrant ni God ung prayer ni servant…

Point is, if we ASK, with a correct state of heart, HE would surely hear us… Bka ask kau nang ask hindi nyo naman ginagawa ung part nyo, e aus ka..

Attitude. If we ask fo somebody to love us, is it logical to FIX OURSELVES first? Kumbaga sa mga tao e, naghahanap ka ng palaman pero may tinapay kanaba? Are you WORTH para dun sa partner na hinihiling mo? Un lang un. We need to learn and understand WHAT LOVE really is (1 Cor 13:4-5) and once na macultivate natin un sa sarili natin, mag bbear un ng spiritual fruit (Gal 5:22-23) “But the fruit that the Spirit produces in a person’s life is love, joy, peace,patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ; gentleness, and self–control. There is no law against these kinds of things. ”. So there you go… Alam nyo na siguro? 

Last is Circumstances. Let us observe God’s work through circumstances. Ika nga sa Romans 8:28 “We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan" Let us consider the circumstances when choosing somebody to love. Baka naman sinasabi na ni God sau mali ung papasukin mong relationship pero go kapadin kasi super mega hot sexy nung girl o kaya super megalicious hunk ung lalake. ^^,. Haha.. napakadisturbing ng mga terms ko naun ah..

ISAAC– Refer to the story of Isaac and Rebekah. ^^,. Dun xa binase ni Pastor kanina sa GBC. Di ko matandan ung name nya pero malaki ung impact ng topic na to sakin. I hope everybody got the point here kahit hindi maxado kumplete. ^^,. Good night everyone!!
