Need someone who’s gentle with your weaknesses?
Do you sometimes get frustrated by your weaknesses? Normal lang ’yan. Lahat naman tayo meron nito—sabi nga, it’s part of being human. So ikaw, ano ba ang masasabi mong weakness mo?
Recently, nag-usap kami ng mga kasama sa church tungkol sa aming mga weaknesses. Isa dito: not knowing how to regulate emotions. We realized that for many of us, we were never taught how to handle our emotions—especially things like anger. Kapag nagagalit tayo, minsan hindi na natin nakokontrol ang mga nasasabi o nagagawa natin. Many of us grew up being told not to be angry. Without the tools to manage those feelings, lumaki tayong akala natin na mali ang mga emosyon natin. But we’ve learned that feelings are not weaknesses—they only become a weakness when you don’t know how to regulate them.
As we continue our series, “He wants to comfort you,” let’s read this passage from the Bible:
Ang marupok na tambo'y hindi niya babaliin, ilaw na aandap-andap hindi niya papatayin;katarungan para sa lahat ang kanyang paiiralin. (Isaias 42:3 MBB05)
Sa isa pang translation, ito ang nakasulat:
Hindi niya pababayaan ang mahihina ang pananampalataya, at hindi niya tatalikuranang mga nawalan ng pag-asa. (Isaias 42:3 ASD)
Nakikita mo ba? God is gentle with the weak. Hindi Siya nagagalit o nadidismaya kapag lumalabas ang mga kahinaan natin. Instead, He is full of grace and wants to comfort you—even when you feel down about the times you fail.
Ikaw ba, do you have an area of weakness right now that you need comfort in? You can bring it to God and trust that He will be gentle with you. Pwede mo itong ikuwento sa Kanya in prayer or in your journal.
Tandaan mo, isa kang miracle!
