Bleeding Love
One of the favorite messages I shared in our church's youth service.
1 John 4:7-8
The Bible is telling us here that it's impossible to love others if we, ourselves, haven't experienced God's love for us yet. While reflecting ong this, I realized that as a teenager, I have my own issues. As young as I am, I already have dealings of my own.
Won't you guys agree with me that most of us here in this place, our weakness is our emotions? Sabi nila ang emotions, mababaw na bagay lang. But I say, emotions can either make us or break us. With that I was reminded that some time ago, I was bombarded by the enemy. He saw my weak point. Dun ako tinarget at nakakahiya mang aminin, tinamaan ako.
I was devastated. It was really debilitating. I can't think of anything else to do, but to just every night, cry myself to sleep. I was so full of insecurities. I felt really worthless back then. I don't know who to turn to. I was thinking, "Kung itong tao na 'to iniwan ako, paano pa yung iba?".
I almost gave up on myself. And admittedly, yes, I was BROKENHEARTED.
Maybe some of you here have a smiliar story to share. Some may have the same sentiment. Maaaring ang ilan sa inyo dito, habang nakatayo kayo diyan sa mga kinatatayuan ninyo, hanggang ngayon, brokenhearted pa din.
Let me tell you gus, during that time, I may be brokenhearted pero hindi lang basta ganun yun. I was brokenhearted before the Lord. I was so desperate for God to bring me back together, to make me whole again. And that's what He did to me, He made me new. He delicately put back together all the broken pieces that were once scattered all over.
Kung dati, punung-puno ako ng insecurities, now I am very much secured. Dati, natatakot akong maiwan, now seeing those faces staring back at me, I know, wala nang taong mangiiwan sakin. Kung dati worthless ako, now God made me realize that I am priceless.
These very same things goes out to everyone in this place. You may be brokenhearted, but knowing who to turn to, you will be made whole again. Masaktan ka man ngayon, it's not yet the end of everything! Always remember that God is always there to patch up every hurt and scar there is!
And always keep in mind that brokenness is the only way that will lead us to wholeness.
