“Pag-ibig sa Maykapal”

“Pag-ibig sa Maykapal”

ni Ma. Luisa B. de Veyra

[i]

Dakila ka sa tanan, Panginoong Jesu-Cristo;

walang makasusukat sa kapangyarihang taglay mo;

‘kaw lang may tangan sa kalawaka’t sa mundong ito;

kami nama’y likha, mga abang tagapaglingkod mo.

O Diyos! tunay ang iyong kabutihan at katapatan;

Sa dugo mong inialay, nakamit ko ang kaligtasan;

May mga pangyayaring hindi ko nauunawaan;

Pighati ng nakaraan, takot sa kasalukuyan, pangamba sa kinabukasan;

Ngunit sinabi mo Panginoon, ano nga ba ang aming dapat pag-alalahanan?

Gayong mga mumunting ibon nga’y hindi mo pinababayaan.

Panginoon kong nabubuhay, puso ko’y pakinggan;

Sapagkat pag-ibig ko sayo’y walang mapagsidlan;

Ang aking pastol, tuwing buhay ko’y nasa kalituhan;

O Diyos sa piling mo ang nais kong maging hantungan.

[transitional verse]

Kailanman kami ay hindi mo pinabayaan;

Mula sa ‘ming mga ninuno, ika’y laging nariyan;

Iba-iba man ang kaugaliang aming nagisnan;

Di mo alintana pagkat puso ang iyong tinitingnan.

[ii]

Ang buhay ng tao’y parang bulaklak sa kaparangan;

Nawawala’t nalalagas kapagka nahanginan;

Subalit tayo’y mapalad, si Bathala’y naririyan;

Ang ating moog, natatanging may hawak sa tanan.

Ang agwat ng lupa at langit, akin mang sukatin;

Di sapat upang batayan ng pag-ibig nya sa atin;

Kung gaano kalayo ang silangan sa kanluran;

Sya ring magtatanghal ng pag-ibig nyang walang hanggan.

Makapangyarihang Bathala, nawa iyong tanggapin;

Pag-ibig sa puso ko, sayo ay nais kong awitin;

Buhay ko’y iaalay upang ikaw’y mapaglingkuran;

Upang ika’y makapiling sa malawak mong kaharian.

[transitional verse]

Ika’y nalulugod sa mga nasa iyo ay may takot;

Nasasaktan naman sa ‘twing kami’y nasa daang baluktot;

‘kay dapat sambahin sa bawat sandaling kami’y nabubuhay;

Hanggang sa sandaling ikaw na ang sa ami’y nakatunghay.

[iii]

O Kristong Dakila ikaw’y aking iniibig;

Mula umaga ‘gang takipsilim, kaw ang nasa isip;

Sa kapangyarihang taglay mo, walang makahihigit;

Ang buong Iglesia’y walang sawa na ika’y pupurihin.

Ako’y hindi karapat-dapat sa anumang biyaya mo;

Subalit binigyan ng pagkakataong mabuhay para sa iyo;

Balutan mo ako ng iyong kabanal-banalang dugo;

Upang maialay buong buhay sa paglilingkod sa iyo.

Sa gitna ng pagsubok, ang salita mo ay lakas ko;

Sa panahon ng karimlan, iniligas ang tulad ko;

Panaghoy ng aba mong lingkod, palagi mong nadidinig;

Bag’mat ang maiaalay ko lang ay aking pag-ibig.

[transitional verse]

Bulag man ang mundo at bingi ang mga tao;

Para hindi masaksihan ang kadakilaan mo;

Ang tulad ko sana ay gawin mong instrumento;

Maging buhay na saksi ng kabutiha’t awa mo.

[iv]

Allaahu Akbar, ang Diyos ay tunay na dakila;

Sya ay nag-iisa lamang at tanan ay likha nya;

Sa kabutihang taglay nya, sino ang mag-aakala;

Tulad ko’y pinagkalooban, buhay na pinagpala.

Pag-ibig ko sa kanya’y parang kawayan sa kagubatan;

Hinding-hindi matitinag anumang unos ang magdaan;

Parang bituing nagniningning sa gitna ng kalangitan;

Na mas lalong tumingkad sa gitna ng kadiliman.

Parang tubig sa batis na patuloy na dumadaloy;

Dandeliong namumulaklak sa tabi ng dalampasigan;

Noong espiritu ko ay nagmistula nang palaboy;

Ang pag-ibig niya ang syang nagsilbi kong kanlungan.

[transitional verse]

Sinumang nilalang na mayroong suliranin;

Panghihina, pag-iisa o nasa alanganin;

Ay may katiyakan na iyo ngang hahanguin;

Basta’t pananampalataya ay nasa sa amin.

[v]

Ang aking pag-ibig sa ating Poong Maykapal;

Idadaan sa awit ng pusong nagmamahal;

Batid kong dinig nya mula sa kaitaasan;

Hiling ay pagpapala mula sa Naliwanagan.

Namo Amida Buddha;

Ang pag-ibig ko sa iyo ay nag-uumapaw;

Tulad ng buhangin na nasa dalampasigan;

Pag-ibig ko sa iyo sadyang walang sukatan;

Nang dahil sa iyong pagiging mahabagin;

Patuloy na pinagpala ang katulad namin;

Na bagamat nagkakamali, nariyan ka pa rin;

Pag-ibig kong alay nawa ay iyong tanggapin.

[closing verse]

Iba-iba man ang denominasyon ng ating pananampalataya;

Iisa pa rin ang ninanais naming ipadama;

Pag-ibig sa nag-iisa, sa siyang pinakadakila;

Sa Maykapal na sa lahat, Siya lamang ay may likha.

The Prayer of an Unknown Confederate Soldier

If you think God is not answering your prayers, think again...He has Better plans than yours.

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.

I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things.

I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy.

I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.

I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.

I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.


Blissful Lamentation

Have you ever felt being a failure? Ever thought that the things that you are doing right now is not worth it? Was there a point in your life which you became bitter of other’s success thinking that you also deserve it? Was there a time in your life which the battle is within you – You against Yourself? A German proverb says, “Better an empty purse than an empty head.” But, what if these are just “some” of the questions that always go around your head all the time, would you still agree with that or would you now prefer having an empty head instead? This might seem funny but, what if it happened to you, will you still have a chance to just laugh on these things?

I have been a working student since my father abandoned us. But I have accepted the reality that there are things that are beyond the delegation of authority that life gave me. I can’t instruct my father to be a responsible head of the family but I can control my life to be responsible child. I have utilized that opportunity to be one. I studied hard, gave all my best in every chances at hand and I always look for opportunity to show everyone that I can stand on my own, it encourages me to do more every time I’ll learn that I became an inspiration to others. It sounds good isn’t it? It’s a typical story of someone from a broken home who strives to be a successful person one day.

At first, I was able to manage both work and studies at the same time. Aside from that, the money that I acquire from work really helped us to survive life’s challenges. I thought everything has been going well – family, studies, friends, money, what more can I ask for? I am a simple child with simple dreams. I always believe God will help me succeed. But not until I failed two of my subjects in the early years of college. What hurts me more is the reason why I failed which someone may think that it could’ve been avoided. This started to make me a bitter person when I learned that once you got a failing grade, though your general average is on its highest peak that it could go, still, you will never get the chance to graduate with flying colors. I really felt as if all my dreams were shattered into pieces, I lost my reason to strive for more.

Where is God? Has he locked Himself away in His celestial castle? Why doesn’t He just bless me this one? These are just some of the self-centered questions that I always bear in mind after that. Then I’ve attended a service which I firmly believe that God spoke to me directly and said, “I will not give you the things that you ask for if I know that you will not be fruitful if you have it.” I started to ask God for wisdom to understand that things that happen are according to what He planned for. I realized that indeed, that plans of the mind belong to me but the answer is from God. I started to realize that I have been worshipping myself, that “I” became my idol. During the times when I though that I do not need anyone at all because I can manage things myself, I realized that it was the most dangerous thing that ever happened to me. Thank God he saved me from the dangerous pit that I have been digging myself. I can now imagine what could have happened if life’s failure did not come to my life, I could have been the proudest person ever lived.

I often think, am I really an optimistic person or these are just my ways of reinforcing myself – by reframing the situation. Who knows? What is important is that I was able to accept that someone has been with me through all these times, who has been my greatest provider, unconditional lover, and patient teacher - God. It’s about having faith in Him that he is always in control. By Faith, it allowed me to go beyond what my eyes can see. Like John Maxwell said, faith is trusting in advance what will only make sense in reverse. A lot of failure happens in our life but this is to recognize and believe that many unexpected events are not just disturbing interruptions of our personal plans, but the way in which God molds our hearts and prepares us for His greater plans.

Now, which ones better then? An empty purse or an empty head? Who said YOU HAVE TO make a choice? God can provide everything, nothing is impossible with Him. He can make both my purse and brain full but I’d better have nothing in this world - but never with an empty heart and an empty spirit. We are never alone, God is always beside us. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Disappointment

There came a time when I longed for someone to be with. Someone that will make me feel that I am Special. Unique. Valued.

Someone to make me feel that I am:

A special "Person" not just an individual,
When I smile.

A blooming “Flower” not just a plant,
When I’m tired.

A bright “Sky” not just a cloud,
When he is in gloom.

A heavy “Rain” not just a mist,
When he’s life seems dry.

A shining “Moon” not just the night,
When he’s life is in dark.

A distinctive “Constellation” not just a star,
When he is inspired.

A bright “Sun” not just the day,
When he is blissful.

A soft “wind” not just an air,
When he is at peace.

There came a time when I met someone who made feel that I am…

his option, not a choice.
his yoke, not a gift.
his his laughter, not his joy.


I expected the Right thing
But he did the other.


People will disappoint you.
Friends will too.
And so as the one you thought is “someone”.

But God will not.

Now is the time when I met someone who made me feel like I never felt before…
Jesus.

LORD, ACCEPT ME...

O lord, heavenly Father;
You are awesome indeed!
Your grace came like a night crawler;
Saw my tears and heard my heed!

Lord, I’m a sinner, I must admit;
But in the midst of the darkness, I saw a lit;
It was you Oh Lord, who wiped out the pain;
And finally freed me from bitterness and vain.

A number of times, I have fallen;
Never thought that there is till bright morning;
But you gave me new life and restored my soul;
Protected me from the enemy more more than The Great Wall.

Now I am here, asking for mercy;
For restoration, forgiveness and for divinity;
I humbly ask you through this poem;
That you would accept me inside Your Home.
