Christ loves us in generosity not in reciprocity. The good things that we have done for Him is always outweighed by His great love for us. We always end up saying, “tinimbang ko ngunit kulang”

I woke up everyday being welcomed by the greatness of God in Taize. I thought wailing in joy for His saving grace everyday is a right thing to do but I realized that my gratefulness is a gesture of unreciprocated love of God for me. Everyday God shows His greatness, I in turn account all my failures and trespasses daily;  thus I end up feeling unworthy of His graces.

 I walked around the village for two hours today and my feet led me to a perfect spot where I can have the best view of the beautiful landscape in autumn. I was in awe when I looked around. Everything was too beautiful but I was stunned when I realized that it is not because I chose Him not because I denied my own selfish desires, not because I bled for doing the mission for God that made me deserve all these; but it is because I am His daughter, His beloved ---- I DESERVE ALL THESE.

The saddest thing we can ever do to ourselves is to count the times that we have fallen and imprison ourselves in the dungeons of regrets. No mistake can be so grave that can stop God from pouring His grace on us. Grace is an undeserved gift that is abundantly given unto us; it is but poignant to realize that we refuse to fully receive this gift just because we feel so undeserving.

In the evening prayer we happened to sing Rom8:39…. “Nothing can ever come between us from the love of God. The love of God revealed through us in Christ Jesus”

Every morning when I open my door and welcomed by a freezing breeze and captivating picturesque; I praise God! I know that I am being loved, just because I am!
