Personal Reflections of An Entrepreneur on a Song of Hope

Dear Daddy,

It’s a great morning to celebrate your mercy and love Lord. Thank you so much for this day.

As I again do my personal reflections I look to your son and my brother Jesus Christ for inspiration and somewhat a little understanding about you Lord.

Today I declare this song on my life.

Something good is going to happen to me. 
This very day. This very year. 
Something good is going to happen to me. 
Jesus is blessing my way. 

I am so grateful Lord God most especially for your great mercy. I know that as of the moment I am not worthy of your love, and maybe even a few years from now, yet I know as well that because of Jesus Christ I am forgiven of my sins and even the sins that I am about to commit.

With the challenges that I have right now Lord, maybe most people would resort to something bad but I choose to trust you.

I choose to trust you with my financial struggles.
I choose to trust you Father with my relationship with my family.
I choose to trust you that you will provide for all the needs of my family.

I choose to trust because you are first and foremost my Father, rather than my Lord. And I know as a father, you do not want us to suffer as much. Yes you will test us but only with things that you know that we can handle. Also because I know that you will accompany me through every step of the way.

Thank you so much Daddy for everything.

Personal Reflections For Struggling in Family Life

Dear Daddy,

It’s another great day to end with my personal reflections.

Thank you Daddy that even with the heaviness on my heart, I am able to make through this day with a joy and smile in my heart. Most especially Father as I do my personal reflections, my spirit is uplifted as well.

You know Father that the heavy feeling within my heart are far from being healed, but I am thankful still for EVERYTHING that you have given me.

Thank you Father for the business opportunities that continues to flood along my way. I know all of them are still a work-in-process, yet the presence of these opportunities alone remind that abundance is all around me. The difference in blessings really is how the person views it, whether a blessing or a curse it’s all up to each person.

Thank you Daddy for a healthy wife and baby. Baby is really growing strong and big. Hehehe… Thank for a great and beautiful wife, who does her best to nourish our baby in her stomach. Next to you Dad they are the main reasons why I enjoy living. Thank you so much Daddy.

Thank you also Daddy that one of the businesses that we already had a campaign was revived. It was just a matter of patience and perseverance Lord. I ask of you Daddy to bless us in this business as well.

Thank you Daddy also for the financial blessings as well. I know even though, I have received little as of the moment there is more to come in the future. Please strengthen me Dad. I really need help in my finances Father, and I know you are fully aware of my needs.

All of these Father I thank and ask through the mighty name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

A Personal Reflection on Personal Problems

Dear Daddy,

Good afternoon Dad, it’s a wonderful day to do my personal reflections.

So far Lord, I have been doing better in my life. I can say I have been really improving in spite the instances where I fall to sin. I think I have grown not only in becoming more mature and open to your will Dad, but I know have been more mature in my plans and decisions as well.

Now Lord, you have brought upon to me and my family a new challenge which is really hard to believe, much more to understand.

Haaaaayyyyyyyyyy. It’s been days that I really want to cry, yet situations have been difficult to make my tears fall. On top of the challenges in my financial life Dad, here comes a challenge in my personal life.

I really do not know what to do Dad. I know my father is imperfect, but I know he was always trying his best. Maybe financially he wasn’t really able to provide for us that much but he serve us daily and spent generous time with my mother.

I really want to ask you Dad why this is happening to my life? With what is happening to me right Dad, I really don’t think I can find the right steps to do it.

I am worried that my father is being treated with coldness back at home. And as I see him Lord, I can’t even bare to look at his eyes. It is like that my brothers are just observing his actions. I can’t blame them, I myself, is starting to doubt him.

Lord, I really ask for your grace. Please bless me with kindness and patience. And enlighten me how to talk to my brothers as well as my father. Also I ask most especially Dad for strength for me and my family. May we all take as a positively as possible, and prepare us for the results Lord that we remain faithful to your promise. Your promise of giving and doing to us good things, not plans to harm us.

Please Dad, I beg you. Guide me and my brothers on our current challenge.

This I all ask, in Jesus name.

Amen.

A New Task With Realization Through Personal Reflections

Dear Daddy,

In my daily personal reflections I realized that life is certainly full of surprises. Just the other day I was surprised of what you handed down to me as my “new task”.

I suddenly became a member of the council on our community, Light of Jesus Cebu. I will be heading the pastoral side for the council. Based on my experience in Youth-For-Christ (YFC), this has not been really my focused ministry, yet when I do a personal reflection on it, I had much time doing it.

Again, you have proven that all the experiences I went through you will use for the greater glory of your kingdom. Who would have thought Father that you would give me this “new task”.

I am honestly proud to be part of the council. Especially with my age, I believe it is something to be proud of. But to be honest Dad, I also have some concerns.

First, I really don’t feel worthy at times when I fail to sin. Yes, I know you are the most forgiving Father, and you have forgiven me even before I ask yet I become guilty at times.

Secondly, to be in the council takes responsibility and therefore, a lot of time on meetings. Based on experience, meetings with community have really been fun, and the same time, time consuming. Of course Father, you know that I would love to give you time but sometimes we are just there to gossip and talk about people. Instead of just focusing on forgiving each other, many members in the community choose to bury hurt deep within them.

Thirdly, you know how I feel about the old people in the community. I try to understand each of their side, yet again I am only human. Hence, limited to human love and easy to judge.

There are actually many things bothering me about the community. I want to know what’s right or wrong. I want to find out the truth. And many other thoughts that are bothering my mind.

But one thing is for sure Lord, I will serve you wherever you call me. I maybe sinful and stubborn at times, but I believe I am an ambassador of your love. And your grace will be sufficient to guide me and strengthen me.

Bless me Father as I make more disciples for you. Teach me to be a leader, and allow me to lead more and more people to serve you. Lastly, teach me to love like you.

All of this I ask in Jesus name.

Amen

Personal Reflections of God's generosity towards wealth.

Dear Daddy,

Thank you for such a great day. Again, through my personal reflections and prayer I have realized so many things not only about myself, but understanding how merciful you truly are.

I have failed again, yet through the inspiration of your gospel I am moved to take action and act on my faith.

Through the story of the prodigal son (or can be called as the prodigal Father as well), I am reminded that your love is certainly immeasurable. Though I may fail in a million times, you will never see my sins but the “future me”. The “future me” who is kind, loving, abundant, healthy, and faithful.

I too look unto that “future me” for inspiration. I guess Bo Sanchez is right in saying that we should always ask our older selves when we want to evaluate something.

Thank you so much for this inspiration Father.

I look to You Father and to Brother Jesus for inspiration on unconditional love. I will be forever an ambassador of your goodness and generosity.

Personal Reflections of A Thankful Father

Dear Daddy,

A great morning for my personal reflections, Father. Today, I declare that I will be soaked in your love and blessings.

I approach this week and day with much hope that all my needs, you will provide. I will look to your promise of abundance and love as our father. So I again decide to focus on the beautiful and inspiring things in life and not on my challenges and endeavors.

Firstly, I thank you Father for giving me a beautiful wife. In which is ever kind and understanding of my schedule. It is also through her that I get my inspiration to become better and to grow my wealth as an entrepreneur and to become more mature in loving as well.

Thank you also Father for the greatest gift of becoming a father (in the a few months form now) as well. Although as of the moment my child is unborn, but I am very ecstatic of this great gift. In this I can fully give love in a similar way as you, o father.

Thank you also Daddy for always giving me good health, including my wife and our entire family.

Thank you Daddy for friends that continue to share their blessings to us on a daily basis.

Thank you for the business opportunities that you have brought unto my life. Bless me with the grace to act on all of these opportunities. To not be complacent and sloppy in these opportunities.

Thank you for everything, dear Father.
