Universal Calling: You Choose

Another reiteration from today's mass by Fr. Jun Balsamo.
#Discipleship means to meet, stay, and experience Jesus in this life now not later. #Vocation - Single life, Married life or Religious life neither one is more valuable than the other. Regardless of what we choose, we are all called to be Holy. This calling is universal.
Sometimes we ask God, "what do you want me to do Lord?" We get confused with all our options. Most of the time, it gets too confusing that we don't choose anything because we are afraid to choose wrongly, and we #worry what if it's not God's will He might not bless us, or whatever #fears we may have, hiding at the back of our minds. We end up holding on to our fears so much so that our indecision becomes our decision.
Yes, we ask this question, but honestly now, "Are we really ready for His answer?" Because when He does answer we might not like what we hear and given our stubborn nature we still make our own ways instead of letting Him be our guide.
Perhaps, we should just stop and take time to look into ourselves and ask ourselves what it is that we really want to do in our lives. More often than not, we just go through life without reflecting on where we are heading. Then, suddenly we realize years have quickly passed by. We look at our past, what we have accomplished, and what we want to achieve. We all want to be happy. So, "What will really make you happy?"
I heard during last Sunday's mass, that if you listen to your heart you are listening to the Voice of World. Naturally, our heart yearns for #Happiness. But if we listen to the Voice of God, we long what our soul longs for and that is Salvation - #Eternity, to spend the afterlife with God.
I believe God has planted little seeds of desire in our hearts. He placed it there uniquely for our good and our sense of purpose.
At the end of the day, we are given free will. God does not impose anything on us. He just says keep my commandments. Basically, it is up to us to choose whether or not we follow. It is our responsibility to choose, not God's. Also, it is not anyone else's responsibility. So, let us be responsible for our lives.
Perhaps, you may be having these thoughts, my friend, God wants you to know, that He wants you to be happy by following your heart and keeping His commandments. In this way, we can achieve both happiness and salvation at the same time.  Do not be afraid. Whatever you choose, He is with you every step of the way. Guiding you. Keeping you. Protecting you. Just have #FAITH and #TRUST.
God loves you so much more than you'll ever know!

What is love?

For what is love,
                          if it is not being given but only withheld?
For what is love,
                          if it is not being felt?
For what is love,
                          without being experienced?
For what is love,
                          if you felt is so much in your heart but only yourself will ever know?

Really, what is love,
                          if you do not give it away?

Vulnerability

It is in your vulnerability that you allow yourself to be seen as you truly are, to accept yourself wholly setting your doubts and fears aside, and to be loved as you are imperfectly "YOU". Having peace in knowing that it's really okay and all is well.

Be Together

I feel so alive
My heart filled with so much joy
Despite and in spite of circumstances
My mind is at peace

I am just so full of emotions
It's quite challenging to keep up
I can hear the beating of my heart
As if it's beating its last beat

I don't know what lies ahead
What to think, how to feel
But God, I hope you'll put order in the chaos
Because I simply cannot do without You

I am so desperately in love with You
Sometimes, I feel like I don't care living in this world
Sometimes, I feel so darn ready to be with you

I can't wait to be with You, Oh God
When will we be together?
Because I can't seem to wait any longer

Will You?

If I tell you I like you
How would you feel?
Will you retreat?

If I tell you I love you
Do you love me too?
Or will you just go?

If I tell you I really do
Will we be awkward?
Will we just forget it, and just let go?

If I tell you I want to be with you
Will you run and hide?
Or will you please stay?

If I tell you I want to hug you
Will you hug me back?
Or will you leave and stay away?

If I tell you I want to hold your hand
Will you hold mine too?
Or will you push it away?

If I tell you I want to journey life with you
Will you be open and willing?
Will you want and need me too?

Just Love

Boy, don't you know you keep slipping into my thoughts.
KSP kau ka besh! Ug ngano mani Lord Pasabta ko?
Lord ngano diay tuod ni?

Sometimes you can't choose who to love.
Usually, it just happens for no apparent reason.
The only thing you're sure of is your hit.
Gosh, this is some kind of crazy!
Totally unexpected, it just clicked, and I am hooked.

And let me just ask, for the record,
What did I see in you? What?
I must really be crazy now!
God, is this a joke?
Please don't kid me like this.
Please pretty please!

But then again, you don't need any reason right?
Yes, there you go again,
Contemplating on everything
Overanalyzing
Take your time
Trust me
Just love

Beautiful Mess

How can this be?
I was just being me
You were just being you
Why do I almost always miss you so?
Why do I always want to see you?
This part I can't quite comprehend

You are a special kind of special
If you know what I mean Haha!
There is something about you that captivated me
I just love talking to you
I love myself being around you
I simply enjoy your company

Am I too fond of you now? How can this be?
But then the real question is, how can I not be?
Surely, I need a cure for this mess
Do you have some sort of a pill?
I need it to cure this
This somehow beautiful mess

I cannot be without You

You fill every corner, every space, every cell, deep within me.
Your heavenly love overflows into my entire being.
A love that is faithful and genuine.

I rejoice in the knowledge of You.
Your self-sacrifice is a real testament of how it is to love.
How sweet. How lovely. How true.

I love You. I love You. I love You so.
Truly,  I love You without a shadow of a doubt.
No, I cannot be without You.

Why can't I just leave you be?

Why can't I just leave you be?
You struck a chord in my heart
No butterflies in my stomach
Yes, there are none
Just sincerity I found in you
Bare, Naked, Stripped
Unmasked, No pretense

And yes,

"For a moment there, I looked into your eyes
It was like I saw your heart and soul
A desperate longing to truly love and be loved
Yearning for a love to make you feel real"
