Personal Reflection on God's Victory in Love

Dear Daddy,

Hallelujah! You have one the victory. Hallelujah! You have won it all for me. Death could not hold you down. You are the risen king. Seated in Majesty. You are the risen king.

I started with the praise above inspired by the song of the Planetshakers – The Anthem.

With this I do my personal reflection. Guided by your grace dear Father. That in everything I do, you will always win any challenge for me. Even death could not hold you down, how much more the challenges that I have right now.

I am especially concerned with my financial life. Knowing that I do not have that much. No regular source of income.

Yet as I do my personal reflection on my financial life, there was never a day that I did not have the money to pay for any of my needs.

Now I reminded that you will never leave me Daddy. And that one day, your blessings will pour like a river in my life. For sure the day will come when I no longer struggle in my financial life, but in another area that I need to grow.

For this earth is my temporary assignment. I pray in Jesus name that I will be able to give my best to this temporary assignment.

Amen.

Personal Reflections On My New Baby One-month Birthday

Dear Daddy,

Good afternoon Daddy. It is a great day to celebrate.

Baby Elisha just turned one-month old today. I’m filled with so much joy that she is continuously growing.

Seeing her everyday definitely makes my heart float. Truly, true joy is found on the relationships that I have.

Every day she is getting heavier. Every day she is becoming more pretty and beautiful. Every day she grows physically and gets stronger. Every day I believe she learns more and more things.

And during the days that I see her grow everyday, my love for her grows as well.

They say that being a parent is partly a hassle, but I honestly could not think of the hardship and the burdens of being a parent. All I can think of is the love and joy that I experience every time I am with my Baby.

And for that Daddy, thank you so much. Thank you for implanting that love in my heart. Thank you for making me out of love as well.

Thank you also for always blessing and guiding me in my personal reflections.

Amen.

RJB.

Personal Reflections on Going Back To Work

Dear Daddy,

It has already been 9 months since I last resigned from my previous job.

Honestly, my life has change so much because of that very day that I left my fulltime job and became an entrepreneur.

Life has been tough. Earning money is not as easy as it seemed when I was still planning to resign. In fact, that’s the only big challenge after I left my job. No boss to report to. No quota to reach. No ass kissing. And I now choose what time I want to go home.

Indeed deciding to quit my job and become a fulltime “entrepreneur” was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Now I am definitely enjoying the time that I spend with my family and the kind of “work” that I do.

But it was all well until Eli came. Your greatest gift to me daddy. Our first born baby. Life couldn’t be much more perfect except for one important thing – MY INCOME.

Since I am no longer single and have a small family to care of, I am now concern of where to get the income. Baby’s needs are fast growing. She needs milk, vitamins, more clothes, immunizations, and many more.

I wonder if I can make just by doing the same things that I am doing now. Obviously, I wont be able to.

Currently the idea of having a job with a salary is very attractive.

Daddy, am I really cut for the entrepreneurial life?

All of my peers in Business Incubators are slowly leaving me behind. In terms of income, I am still left with a nada in terms of income.

Deep inside me I want to give up. I want to make the easier choice and go back to being an employee. But another part, knows that I can still do better. That somehow, I can really earn big as an entrepreneur rather than just being an employee.

I know it’s all up to me.

But I decide right now that I am not giving up. It has to start with my very own self. I have to be very convinced in my own self, that I too can make living being an entrepreneur. That to become a Multi-Millionaire starts with getting rid of all the garbage in my mind.

All these years I have been carrying these garbage. And it is the main reason why am still poor at this very moment.

Father, I pray that may you bless me with the strength to change my mind. It has to start here. In my very being, I have to become the person I want to be in my mind before I become that person in REALITY.

So help me Father, in Jesus mighty name.

Amen

Personal Reflections on John 7:38

Dear Daddy,

Today, I again share the blessings of having my daily personal reflections by reading the Bible.

I was again reading the gospel of John as part of my daily bible series to continuously read chapters of the entire bible. And what I wanted to focus on is from John 7:38, which say:
“Whoever believes in me, as scripture says: Rivers of living water will flow from within him”.

Once a person declares that Jesus is his savior, his Lord and bridge to God and a relationship is established, he already has the living water that flows from within him.

This water is what I would refer to as the Holy Spirit. Jesus already lives in a person once that he comes to him and says he is his Lord.

In my life Father, I sometimes forget that Jesus is already in me. I fall into sin. Focus on my guilt. Then become doubtful and even sometimes hurt other people as well.

Today Daddy, I declare freedom from all the feeling of guilt. I declare that Jesus lives in me and I live like Jesus everyday. I become more like him everyday.

This I ask n Jesus mighty name, amen.

Personal Reflections on John 7:33

Dear Daddy,

Yesterday while I was praying and doing my personal reflections, I was really touched by what I read in the gospel of John.

It said, “I will be with you only a little while longer, and then I will go to the one who sent me”. (John 7:33)

It was actually our savior and brother Jesus who said when the officers of the law tried to capture him, as ordered by the Pharisees.

If you read the entire story, people really didn’t understand what Jesus meant and they were all making conclusions of their own. But since we have already seen the ascension of Jesus, we understand it more now.

Actually I was really touched because I knew Jesus was also referring to all of us. That we too, will all go back to you one day. In the future, we will spend an eternity with you in your kingdom Daddy.

I gratefully reminded of your promise of eternal life Daddy.

Thank you,

RJB

Personal Reflections on an Awesome Day

Dear Daddy,

Today was such an amazing day. Who would have thought that I could do so much in one day?

It is a day full of blessings indeed. Now as I do my personal reflections, I am filled with joy in my heart for your goodness and generosity Daddy.

Now I am really convince that having a good life has to start with the mind and everything else will follow.

The previous before last week, I really lost my mindset. And therefore have been thinking of negative thoughts again. Those thoughts lead to negative things as well. It made me out of focus and unproductive. It also caused me to have a bad aura and hence affected a lot of people close.

Thankfully, I was able to attend two successive-powerful seminars and it really helped me get back on track. Also since I have a new strong inspiration in my life, which is my new born baby.

So today Daddy, I thank you so much for all the awesome blessings. I know focus on your blessings always.

Please guide me to do my personal reflections daily Daddy so I will not go astray in my mindset.

All of this I ask in Jesus name.

Amen

Personal Reflections on God's Loving Mercy

Dear Daddy,

A great morning Daddy to do personal reflections on my life.

Last night was one of the first experiences that I had, where I was the one who took of care of Baby Elisha until early morning.

Honestly, it was very tiring and frustrating at the same time. Tiring because, the entire night she would just sleep for a few minutes and then wake up. I think Elisha is the kind of Baby that wants to be carried while she sleeps. Or maybe because she prefers sleeping in the morning rather than during evenings.

Frustrating because, I am able to let her sleep while I am carrying her but once I put her down she wakes up again. While carrying her I sing her a song and dance dizzy steps to make her sleepy. Her eyes easily get drowsy, but again when I put her to bed she wakes up again.

But the entire night got me tired but whenever I see her angelic face and her “expensive” smile, all my frustrations seem to disappear. I guess that’s just how love is.

Now I wonder, how long have you been carrying me? Dancing me around and singing to me until I feel sleepy with your love Daddy. Probably more than a 100,000 times.

As I am now a father myself, I can really see how much you love me. How much you have cared for me.

I know my words are not enough Daddy, but I thank you with all the patience and love you given me. In fact the right for your love for me is mercy.

I love you so much Daddy, with all the best I can be.

Amen.

Personal Reflections in the Blessings of Two Powerful Seminars

Dear Daddy,

Hi Daddy. It’s a great and very wonderful day. I am so happy and it is a good day to share my personal reflections.

By attending two straight seminars (Attracting Wealth and Money Magnet by John Calub), I’m now 100% sure of myself now. And I realized one important aspect in my life, that I have been totally negative in my thinking. 

All this time, I didn’t realize that was I focusing on the wrong things. The wrong thoughts, attitudes, words, and the wrong feelings. That’s the main reason I have been attracting negative results in my life as well. Like they say Daddy, our thoughts become reality. To be more specific the words in your book says, “And the word was made flesh”.

I have to literally change my way of thinking in 360 degrees. Not only my thinking but the words that I say: my daily routines: and also my habits.

Daddy, I know my plans are not that concrete yet but I know I must start an anomaly in my life to totally change my life.

 I have to start it all in the mind before I can even make it into my words, and finally turn it into actions.

I pray your guidance Daddy, through your son Jesus.

Amen
