God is a loving Father, a compassionate parent, a strong protector ready to defend us from danger. Kung hindi ka makatulog dahil worried ka, kausapin mo Siya. Kung naka-night shift ka at dis-oras ng gabi ang uwi, huwag kang matakot, kasama mo Siya.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Naranasan mo na bang mag-open up pero you felt unsafe after? That feeling that after you expressed your fears, insecurities, and problems, hoping this person would understand, you were judged instead? Ang hirap 'no? Ang gusto mo lang naman ay may makinig at samahan ka sa iyong nararanasan at maki-journey sa iyo.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Maniniwala ka ba kapag sinabi sa iyo ng kaibigan mo na “the Lord will provide for your needs”? Ang isip-isip mo, Paano naman magpo-provide si Lord eh ito lang naman yung trabahong ibinigay Niya sa akin? Mas madalas pa nga na kinukulang ang suweldo kaysa sumosobra ito.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Gaya ba ng mga taga-Jerusalem noon — at ni Honey — ay parang madilim ang iyong paligid? Nawawalan ka na ba ng pag-asa? Tinatanong mo rin ba sa Diyos kung kailan ka mapo-promote sa trabaho? Kailan ka mag-aasawa? Kailan Niya sasagutin ang mga panalangin mo? Magtiwala tayo na maganda ang plano ng Diyos sa atinAll Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Kaya sa araw-araw na nakikinig, nagbabasa o nanonood tayo sa iba't ibang platforms,  why not consider switching to Bible-based content na social media handles, series, videos? Or listening to worship songs or Christian podcasts? Consider reading Bible-based writings and books to help you understand God's Word deeper. Or simply setting a regular time and place to read the Bible or listen to the audio Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you meditate on His Word.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

God's command to honor our father and mother does not imply that we should tolerate, accept, or enable abuse. At siyempre, hindi rin naman kalooban ni Lord na forever na lang tayong stuck sa trauma, resentment, and unforgiveness. Author Christopher R. Smith once shared, “You are not honoring them if you make yourself available to them to continue acting in a way so contrary to God's intentions.”All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Ano ang pangako sa iyo ng Diyos mula sa Salita Niya? Kung hindi mo pa alam, inaanyayahan ka Niya na alamin ito at kilalanin Siya by reading the Bible. Alam mo ba na isa sa mga pangako ng Diyos sa mga tumanggap kay Jesus Christ as Lord at Savior ay ang buhay na walang hanggan? Walang mintis. Sabi ni Lord 'yan ha!All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Israel was God's chosen nation, but they acted foolishly many times. Despite the provision and privilege given to them, they disobeyed and doubted God. You see this in the book of 1 Samuel when they lost the battle with the Philistines. Instead of seeking God, they decided to take matters into their own hands. All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

“Di naman sa pag-aano, pero …” Naku, eto na naman po siya, tahimik na sambit ni Norma sa sarili. Tuwing ganito ang simula ng pananalita ng kanyang kaibigang si Tess, alam na ni Norma ang kasunod. Either magyayabang, manlalait, o mangungutya ito. Bakit nga ba ganun? Does saying “di naman sa pag-aano” give us a license to criticize others?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Some basic rules we were taught as children include falling in line, waiting for our turn, and sharing our things. Pero bakit kahit alam na natin ang mga good manners na ito since bata pa tayo ay nahihirapan pa rin ang marami sa ating i-apply ang mga ito sa tunay na buhay?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Remember that love covers a multitude of sins (Proverbs 10:12). By practicing conflict resolution, nagkakaroon tayo ng pagkakataon na maiparamdam sa iba ang pag-ibig ng Diyos.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

In life, we cannot avoid situations where people may insult us. But instead of getting angry or returning hurtful words, we are called by God to show love and humility. Pero bakit parang sobrang hirap magtimpi kapag kitang-kita namang hindi tayo ginagalang? Our first instinct is to retaliate! Should we stand up to insults? Yes, but how do we do it?All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

God wants us to be successful and enjoy our lives. Kaya Niya tayo binibigyan ng talino, kakayahan, at galing ay para paunlarin ang ating sarili para magkaroon ng maayos na buhay.

Let's not forget the wild lilies. These colorful flowers appear in unexpected places — a reminder of how the Lord can turn barren places into fruitful fields.

Nakaka-amaze lang na aside from His empowerment, God provides even what we need physiologically to be kind and compassionate.

Hope is one of the marks of a true Christian. Hope is the expectation that God will fulfill His plan for all His children in the new heaven and the new earth (Revelations 21:3-4). Hope is the assurance that everything wrong in this life will be put to right when Jesus returns to reconcile the world to Himself (Colossians 1:20). And while we wait for that glorious day, we can remain hopeful.All Rights Reserved, CBN Asia Inc.https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

Struggle na ngang magmahal ng ating kapwa, itinaas pa ng ating Panginoong Jesus ang standard — “Love your enemies.” Kung noong mid-70s ay may sikat na TV show na “Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko,” ito naman, ang peg ay tila “Kaaway Ko, Mahal Ko.” Ginagawan ka na nga ng masama, mamahalin mo pa.
