Around 2009, one of the network giant in the Philippines launch a TV series about a little boy who has a strong faith with Jesus. This show teaches its viewer to depend on God at times of need by means of praying. I am not an avid fan of this show. Though the said TV series demonstrate how to do good to other people there is one thing I couldn't tolerate. That is when this little boy called Jesus "Bro".
Technically Jesus is our brother because He is son of God the Father, and we are children of God but I don't think it appropriate to call him "Bro". It is disrespectful. Even the king of england wouldn't want to be called Bro by his siblings. While indeed Jesus is our friend, I could not call my King "Bro". I could not treat him as one of my brother. He deserves an utmost respect more than what we can give to any human being. He is our savior, He is our God. John 1:1 John 1:14 John 20:28 Titus 2:13 2 Peter 1:1
less of me, More of JESUS
Normally, a person would think about things that are beneficial to him and we often forget about God. We sometimes forget that all of the things that are happening into our lives is because of our creator. This blog is intended for all who wants to be more like Christ. To think more about him and less about himself. Come and join me as we walk together with Jesus to this journey called life.
I will do all I can to update this blog from time to time. This will contain my own articles, videos, music, articles written by different authors, inspirational story and a lot more. Anything about Jesus.
This is not all about me, this is all about Him.

The Tea Cup
The
Tea Cup
There was a couple who used to go England to shop in a beautiful antique store. This trip was to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially teacups.
Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked, "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful."
As the lady handed it to them, the tea cup spoke.
"You don't understand," it said, "I have not always been a tea cup. There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My master took me and rolled me pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out, 'Don't do that. I don't like it! Let me alone,' but he only smiled, and gently said, 'Not yet!'
"Then. WHAM! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. 'Stop it! I'm getting so dizzy! I'm going to be sick!', I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, quietly, 'Not yet.'
"He spun me and poked and prodded and bent me out of shape to suit himself and then....then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. 'Help! Get me out of here!' I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side, 'Not yet.'

An Act of Kindness
He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so .. was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

The Jars
The preacher placed two identical jars on the table next to the pulpit. He
quoted 1 Samuel 16:7: "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at the outward appearance, but, the Lord looks at the heart"
"These jars came from the same factory, were made of
the same materials, and, can hold the same amount. But, they are different, he
explained". Then he upset one, and, it oozed out honey. He turned over the
other, and, vinegar spilled out. "When a jar is upset, whatever is in it comes
out".

Paid in Full
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angry, he shouted at his father and said "with all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house.
