Greatest Gifts

Greatest Gifts.


Every year, there is always those moments or special days that we get to receive presents from different people. From a family member, friend, and from God.
There are different kinds of gifts that we receive in life, something that is tangible and intangible.
Have you ever thought that the most expensive gifts that can be given are the ones that are intangible? Something that cannot be seen, smell, hear, touch or taste.

Hello Reader! So this blog post was suggested by a friend of mine from MSU Marawi(AB English), and to be honest, I have no idea what to write. Thanks Sir R for giving me this suggestion that made me brainstorm real hard. This almost cracked my brain. *insert peace sign?*

We all have those people in our lives who reminds us that when it comes to gifts, it is the thought that counts. But we can't deny the fact that there are times that the gifts that we receive are sometimes stupid. That person demands for something brand new and expensive, but they fail to even make an effort to give you a gift that has sincerity.

Gifts should not be about demanding for something what you want, it's about being selfless enough to think of others. It's not about receiving, but about giving and be thankful. Not about material things, but about intangible things, which are much more memorable and meaningful.

So I dare you to take this moment to thank every intangible things that you have received this year. Especially the ones from God, and that is His gift of salvation for you, that was not earned by good works, but by grace that you have been saved through faith. Salvation is a gift from God and is waiting to be claim in faith.

For me, intangible gifts will always be the greatest gift in this world.
God's love will always be the greatest gift that I have received everyday. So I am thankful that God hasn't let go of me, even though I am a sinner. He saved me and continues to amaze me with things that are beyond what I deserve for myself...

Reader, I hope this year and the years to follow, you will always learn to smile and be inspired.
In times when the world would try and bring you down, that will make you fall to the ground, I hope that you will always have the courage to stand up, rise up and shine again.

I am inspired to continue this blog because of you.
I'm thankful that every time I am in a dark room, writing with all my heart, behind every screen, someone is reading what I wrote.. Thank you. You are also one of the greatest gifts I have this year.

"The quality of the gift depends on the sincerity of the giver."

Merry Christmas!

Self-harm

Self-harm. I admit, I've done it. It is because I always hated myself, I thought I wasn't good enough for anything in this world. I thought that there was nothing special about me. Because that is what some people said and made me feel. They used me, fooled me, played my emotions and thoughts, and underestimated me. Some of them attached a lot of negative labels on my image. I believed every word they said about me... Which was wrong. Every word was a lie. I finally met the people who motivated me and never gave up on me. I never thought that I'd be close to people like them, but I think it is God's will that I am now surrounded with people who will always be there for me when I forget who I am and my worth. They made me realized that I am not made up of the words that hurt me. I am more than what I think. I wanted to end my life, but they stopped me before I could even add another mark. Each cut, burn, and bruise that I gave to myself...

It is the window frame. Brows frames a person's face. Our brows help express what we feel. We can sometimes read other people's emotion through observing the movement of their eyes and brows. Here are some of the example: Can you even imagine everyone in the world having no brows? In our present time, thick and on fleek brows are on trend. Lucky to those who are born with thick brows. And rest in peace to those who are not. Just kidding! Thanks to the person who invented make-up, those people who are not born with great eyebrows can achieve great brows. Okay let's fast forward. I know some of you would think that I'm encouraging girls to wear make-up instead of inspiring them to love who they are without make-up. I'm ...

Love is...

Love is... I've already explain a lot on my blog about what love really is... But I'm always talking about a certain person and not just about "love." So I decided that in this blog post, it will just be about "love." Usually when some people hear the word love the first thing that comes to their mind is a boyfried-girlfriend relationships. But love is not just about that. Love happens not just from that special guy you see at school or something, it also happens inside a house, in a church, in the hospital, in happy times and also in times when we thought we're alone. Love happens when we least expect it. This blog post is actually for those who think love is stupid, worthless, selfish, lust, etc. LOVE IS NOT A NEGATIVE ELEMENT! Did you know that because of love, every believer is saved? WE ARE SINNERS! NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS! Our imperfections have caused us to sin, but because that love exist, a God allowed His one and only S...
