Personal Reflection on My own Personal FEARS

Dear Daddy,

Hi Dad, it’s been really quite a while since I have written in my personal journal of my life. As always this has been my beginning line if ever there is a time that I stop writing my journals.

First and foremost, I am very sorry and I am in fact guilty that I wasn’t able to go to church this day. It’s supposed to be as Sunday, and I am supposed to spend with you on this special day. Even though I know that you have forgiven me, I still am really sorry.

Secondly, I write this journal because I again want to reflect. Why in the world have I achieve nothing in one year of my life as an entrepreneur?

I have already been faced with a lot of opportunities, yet, not a single one did give the results that I desire. I already know what I want, especially in terms of how much I want to earn. And again, opportunities are just standing right in front of me.
I know what to do, but do nothing!

Weird….

As I look within me, I slowly get a picture of what’s holding me back.

It’s fear. The most negative feeling of all. The dream killer. The deadly virus.

I think I fear a lot of things. Why? Because of the guilt I have with my sins. Because of how I was brought up. Because of the feeling to be rejected. And many more…

Because of all the reasons above, I get paralyzed.
This is all just a lie that my past experience has “taught” me. But all of my fears are not true. I have a big GOD. BIGGER than anything in this world. I FEAR NOTHING. I have INFINITE POTENTIAL. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!

I have to look to love. In fact, not just an ordinary love. But God’s love for me. Why would I be afraid? Why would I doubt myself, when I know that God loves me. HE is at my side. He is at my future. He is at the highest moments of my life, and as well as my lowest.

Daddy, I shall continue to pursue my dreams. By your grace and love, I will anchor on that truth, that I truly have infinite potential.

I love you so much Daddy.

Your son,
Jake

Daily Personal Reflections On My Attitude

Dear Daddy,

It is great day full of blessings and today I do my personal reflections on my attitude.

I am really admitting that I have been really lazy and complacent. Why did I wait for me to get hungry, until I would act on needs seriously? It needed a very strong message from my wife and her pressuring me before I had to act.

I am really a shame of myself. Eleven months as an entrepreneur, I have nothing to show. I even got buried in debt instead of acquiring more wealth.

I have to really learn to love myself more. Only through this way will achieve success.

My being lazy ends today. I will focus on really earning what my family deserves. What my wife and daughter deserves.

I am now very hungry for earning a lot money.

I pray and ask for your blessings Daddy. Bless me with a 6-figure income by the end of October 31, 2011. I promise Lord, I will really act. No more vague commitments.

All of this I ask in Jesus Name.

Amen.

Personal Reflections on Life's Challenges

Dear Daddy,

It has been a while since I have written my personal reflection. I guess, having a “great need” for your blessing can really humble any person and come to you for mercy and grace.

Father, times have been tough. Challenges are not only big in my financial life, but in my family as well. Papa hasn’t returned for more than 2 weeks now. I really understand his reasons. And Mama is really in deep pain. I don’t want to do. I want to be mad at Papa but at the same time I pity him.

He too, never felt love from his Father. I just wished He seek Your Love instead. But his choices are his own. I pray for his health and his welfare. And that my entire family will truly be able to forgive him one day.

For Mama Daddy, I pray that may you grant her strength. I know she is stronger than most women. But I also know that she is just a human. The mere fact that she shares to me that she cries in between her teaching-classes only shows that she is in deep pain. Please Lord, bless her with your grace always. If possible every second of her waking and sleeping life. I ask that you also reward her for her kindness, and loyalty to our family.

Daddy, I also come to you for a downpour of financial blessings. I believe that just like our forefathers, You have blessed us with the power of our tongue. Father, I have many dues that I need to pay. Not only that, I also have a growing family. I love them so much. As I know that you love them more. Please Father bless me with a downpour of financial blessings. I specifically ask for a 200,000 Peso monthly income.

I know my attitude is still unprepared for that kind of income. But I am taking baby steps towards changing my thinking. When I am in full control of my thinking I can change my entire life. Of course that includes my financial life.

Bless me Father, I live and breathe at your mercy always.

In Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

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,

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

Personal Reflections on our New Born Baby

Dear Daddy,

It is such a happy day Daddy. I know Daddy that I have already thank you through prayer, but I also enjoy writing to you in my personal reflections.

Daddy, I’m filled with so much joy for the new blessings that you have given us lately. Finally, Baby Elisha Jayne Bere is born. On top of that, Mamai delivered baby normally and they are both very healthy.

Also Daddy, I thank you so much for providing for us. Especially for providing money for us to pay the hospital bills. Who would have taught that someone could go to the hospital and give birth with just 2,000 Pesos in his pocket? Well, people need to believe in your glory Daddy just like I did.

As I think back and do a personal reflection on what happen, I can see that someone great has orchestrated the whole “scene”.

First I was able to bump in with Nonon and Uncle Tony. So we got a free ride to the hospital. Secondly, Tito Tony arrived just in time that I was about to pay the down payment. Third, my family and Mamai’s family chip in some money to pay off the rest of the hospital bills.

I know that you know Daddy that it pains me to ask for me. But it was all my fault because I did not prepare well. All of those times that I exchange sleeping, relaxing, spending my money, and other unproductive activities lead to that day.

What would happen to me if I did not have friends and our families?

Lord God, I want to change my life. Specifically, my financial life. I want to end these dreadful situations where in I could even buy a single cup of coffee for myself.

Please bless with this decision Daddy.

Thank and I love you always.

Personal Reflections on God's Exact Timing of blessings

Dear Daddy,

It has been such a great day and I can’t help but do my personal reflections.

Your providence Daddy is always such a surprise that it comes on the right time, right place, and the readiness of the heart. It is such a surprise that it usually makes me cry.

After Tito Tony gave me the money for Mamai’s birthday I can’t help but cry with tears of joy. Not only will I have money for Mamai’s birthday, I will have extra money as well to spend for Baby’s stuff and save a part of it for the delivery of Baby.

It wasn’t really much of a day when it started in the morning, but you have proven again dear Father that your are very true to your promise. Hehehe

Finally I was able to buy a card for Mamai, Ice Cream for both our families, and Lechon Manuk for both families as well.

Through this day I am again move to do personal reflections on how your blessings come and just to really trust you and full confidence of your provision. Although I would be a hypocrite if I say that I no longer have fears on where we would get the money to pay for the hospital bills during Mamai’s labor but I trust more now that you will really provide.

Daddy, I pray for your grace, that it will provide us the strength to have faith that you will never leave us in time of our need; that we will always look to prayer and not doubt. And most especially Daddy, I ask that Mamai will have a normal delivery with Baby, and that baby will have an excellent health.

Please bless us with more of your provisions loving Father.

This I all ask in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

Personal Reflections of an Entrepreneur on a Bright Day to come

Dear Daddy,

A great morning to spend time in doing my personal reflections.

It’s a Sunday and I am marveled at today’s relaxing day, which is filled with service and love of family. Today I am spending really good time in cleaning the house, washing our clothes, listening to beautiful music, and breathing the fresh air that is filled with your love.

I thank you Daddy for always inspiring me day by day, minute by minute to become a better servant of Your kingdom. Although I have not yet done my usual Morning Prayer and Gratitude Listing, I am already at a positive state that today is such a great day to celebrate and worship you by simply being with my family.

I can’t help but smile as I do personal reflections today because I know that my life today is a gift from you dear Daddy. That even with the dozens of challenges that come, I know that it can’t compare to the THOUSANDS of blessings that I am receiving every second of my life.

So I continue to embark on this journey of life, living every second knowing that I am always receiving more blessings compared to challenges. I choose to focus on my blessings, my dreams, and things that really inspire me. Rather than focusing on all the negative things in my life.

Thank you so much Daddy. I love you so much. Till the end of my gift-given life here on earth.

Personal Reflections on Living with God's Amazing Grace

As I do my personal reflections on this late night, I have a feeling of relief. I realized that in life, or even in a day we often fail and fall short of the glory of God but in these moments of failure we should remain firm and refocus ourselves to serving God again.

I can again say that it was really a tough day, yet God’s victory in my life always reigns. And no matter how sinful I have been in this very day His enormous love still engulfed me.

As I lead hundreds of people to worshiping Him I am reminded that God will meet us half way. Of course He expects nothing but the best from us, but our “human best” is very much enough for Him. I know deep in my heart, He opened the gates of heaven and heard our praises and worship.
Even with the fact that I am a sinner and leading worship, He really does not seem to care. He enjoys love from the same kind of sinners that are worshiping Him.

I continue to live in the path of being a Christian, knowing that God’s grace is the only thing that’s sustaining me in this life. That with all my mistakes, I can always comeback to Him and ask for forgiveness. 

My God is definitely an ultra-awesome God!

I love you Father with all my heart and will continue to serve with the best that I can.

Really Struggling on my Personal Life

Dear Daddy,

Today has really been a tough struggle for me.

The main reason that I have been move to do a personal reflection today is because it has been really struggle for me today.

At early morning while reading the gospel, praying, and having my usual habit of visualization I suddenly treated my wife with much coldness and anger. The main reason is not because of her, but because of the problems that I carried on my back. Which are mostly financial and personal issues of my life.

I’m sick and tired of the “same-old-sins” that I was committing. I was tired of me always the things that I needed to do, and didn’t even make any single step to accomplish it. It was even worse that I ended up not only getting angry to my wife, but shouting to her as well.

My wife got deeply hurt and out of love for her I realized the stupid mistake I made. I was hurting her for reasons that were my own doing.

So I apologized and comforted her with kisses and hugs while she was crying. After that we had lunch together and enjoyed each other’s company again.

But after washing the dishes, instead of focusing on the business stuff that I needed to finish I choose to lie on the couch and watch Television for an entire 2-3 hours.  Another waste of time in which really is the most important asset of all time.

Worse, my mother is starting to think lowly of me. I think it’s because it has already been 8 months since I left my job and until I have no million to show her. In fact, I can’t even show her thousands, for I merely have enough to survive for a few days more.

I truly need to get back on my feet. I need to really rethink my life if I want to be true successful entrepreneur. Also I really need to do my personal reflections everyday. Only by really understanding myself will I be able get over this challenge in my financial and personal life.

To address my financial problems, I have to really address my personal struggles first, before I can address any other area of my life.

Hope to achieve this one day.

Personal Reflection on a Great Challenge

Dear Daddy,

It’s been a while since I have made my personal reflections, and there’s really in my chest right now that needs to be released.

It’s the due day of Mamai Lord, and instead of earning more money, I have earned more debts. Reality is really sinking in to Mamai, and it’s sort of making her nuts. But honestly she has a very good point.

Since my last day with SMIS, I haven’t really shown her any results. I guess this Your way of telling me Daddy, that enough is enough, work your ass off. I have been really slack this past six months. Always procrastinating. Stubborn as ever. And wasting my energy and time and worthless activities.

Yes, one of the areas that I need to work on is my relationships, my health, my spiritual life, and my moment of “stress-free” days, but I have to draw the line and focus what matters most in my life’s current situation.  And that focus is to earn a big-chunk of cash for Mamai’s delivery.

I have to wake up and work on something really, really, really, really fast. I need at least 200,000 Pesos in 30 days. Pressure is really building up on my mind and even in my vital organs. Just the thought of it causes my hyper acidity to activate, like a volcano ready to explode.

I can only think of 4 things to do that will make me some quick cash, Daddy. Of course it has to really utilize my most core gift – TALKING. 

These basic things are:
1. Real Estate selling
2. Internet Marketing
3. IMG – Network Marketing
4. Events Marketing

By focusing my time and specially my core skills these powerful businesses, the 200,000 Pesos in one month is doable. I have never challenged myself this much, and I think this is really an experience worth remembering.

This is actually a do or die situation Daddy. I must make the 200k or my baby will suffer. And also this will really give Mamai a peace of mind.
But heavenly Father as I challenge myself, and really push towards achieving this big-audacious goal, I look to you for grace and guidance, knowing that all things comes from your goodness and generosity.

Daddy, You are my Father, and I know as Your son I am also entitled to Your abundance here on earth and in heaven. I ask of you Daddy please bless me with the anointing of ease. I really need it Dad. For sure you are well aware of that.

I come to You Father with a trusting heart.

All of this I ask in Jesus mighty name.

Amen

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.

Personal Reflections For People Struggling on their Finances

My dearest Mamai,

I have something in my heart Mamai nga I want to share to you.

I have many fears Mamai. I have many anxieties. I am scared if ever all my business ventures will fail. Like you I'm worried that my money is slowly depleting. Like you I’m struggling in my prayer time. I’m struggling in trusting a God that seems quiet and doesn't give any attention to our many needs. I am not only afraid for baby and us, but for your family and mine as well. What if someone in our family gets severely sick? What if there’s a sudden emergency? What will I do? I, too have many questions to our God. WHY CAN"T HE BLESS A HARDWORKING SON LIKE ME? I've tried my best to be a better Christian and an obedient son at the most. WHY? WHY? WHY?

As I cry in my prayer, a deep peace and calmness always touches me Mamai. Setting aside being a Christian; I always find peace inside my heart.

A few weeks ago I realized what that peace is. It's his answers through the Bible.

That God truly loves me. That He hasn't forgotten our pain and our suffering and of course our needs. That one day I will rise from this "fall". That while I am in pain, He too is deeply hurt of what is happening to me. And wants to take away that pain. Yet in His heart He knows that if He takes away this temporary pain, I will never be able to fully serve Him. I will not grow in loving and understanding him a little bit more.

I know it's very difficult to understand or to even see a little glimpse of His "manifestation". But Mamai, if we look a little harder, you know He hasn’t left us at all. When did we ever get hungry? When did we ever feel that His not around? He is always and always will be at our side....

We just need to look harder. For now our problems are in the finances, yet it is still a measure of faith and love. Not because He wants to test us or measure our capacity. It's because His grace is sufficient. He knows we can handle this. He knows we are tougher than this. He knows out of this "mud" and excessive exposure of "fire", the diamond within us will come out. And He is preparing that humongous amount of blessings for us.

Its coming Mamai. I can already see the small clouds in the sky. PREPARE YOURSELF! God will bless us with so much that you can't help but give it all away.

Let's trust our Father that has never left us Mamai. Remember our wedding? You had so many fears. Yet it all came out beautifully and so memorable.

This situation we have right now is no different. We will come out a victor and as more mature Christians ready to take on new gifts and presents from our Father in heaven.

So smile and say, "God is preparing a flood of financial blessing for me. I can already see the small cloud".

I love you so much Mamai and baby. You know I will do everything to give you a better life and of course time to love and care for each other. It will come Mamai.. In Jesus name, amen.

Forever and always,
Daddy Papai

Personal Reflections of A Busy Entrepreneur

Dear Daddy,

I feel so busy today. Yet I don't feel I have achieve anything in whatever I did.

I feel so unfocused. A person who his trying to do something with no specific objectives, goals, or plans. My body aches, my brain is like swelling, and there are a lot of things that I need to take care of in our home.

Sometimes doing so many things just makes me tired. Why can’t we just do things, one at a time?

I guess the main problem here is that each member in our company is lost. We do not have the same ideals, goals, or any same target. We’re doing a “bara-bara” system with no definite direction or motivation.

Yes, we all want to achieve millions. We all want a better life. We all want to provide abundantly for our families, but is what we are doing really going to take us there?

Is this the kind of business that I really want? I really need your help Lord.

I no longer understand, where or what I should do.

I just pray that we end on the right track as early as now, or we will forever get lost.

All of this I ask in Jesus name.

Amen.

Personal Reflections on Today's Gospel Readings

Dear Daddy,

For today’s personal reflection, I thank you for blessing me with such a great and beautiful day.

As I read my personal gospel readings for today, I am reminded of the weaknesses that we humans all have. We tend to see the “details” that are not so important in our life mission.

As it is said in Luke 12:56 – “You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; why do you not know how to interpret the present time?

Often, we spend time focusing on the wrong things. We sort of force ourselves to it, yet it doesn’t give any result. Once it does not give result, we blame you, Father for not helping us in what we were trying to achieve. Yet in the first place, we we’re seeking in the wrong thing and wrong ways.

And so father as I continuously do my personal reflections, I pray for guidance and strength. That I may be able to live at the present times, and see things as how Jesus, my brother saw it.

That I may also give decisions based on what is in your will at the present time. Just like Jesus, let me see in my personal reflections that living in the present are the correct way.

All of these, I ask in the mighty of name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

A Personal Reflection on Attracting Blessings

Dear Daddy,

Continuously I’m learning with my personal reflections that you will always provide for me.

Lately, I have been receiving more and more blessings. Most especially, I’m getting over the fear of doing business through network marketing.

As an entrepreneur, I have always been very hesitant in doing any network marketing business. I would always shrink from fear that I don’t bother to call prospects to set any meeting. Thankfully, through “burning my boats” I am forced to take action and do it without any hesitation.

Also, I need to continuously relearn and relearn and relearn to TRUST you Dad. I often fall on the thought of worry. I guess this the result of the long years that I have been thinking and acting negatively.

Even with the blessings that you are giving me Lord, I end up thinking that I should receive more. Instead, the right thing to do is to be thankful for your blessings.

Knowing that I have you my Lord, as my Father, what is there to worry about? I again ask for grace Daddy to bless me with the right thoughts and mindset.

All of this I ask through the mighty name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

A Personal Reflection on the Movie Hachiko

Dear Daddy,

I just saw a part of an amazing movie today – the title was Hachiko. A story of dog named Hachiko, who loved his master so much.

For years his master and Hachiko would spend time everyday, playing around their small backyard and just having fun. And while his master would go to work, Hachiko would accompany him to train station. After that Hachiko would entire day in front of the main entrance of the train station until his master would get back.

After a few years Hachiko’s master died due to a sudden heart attack. Hachiko was adapted by his master’s daughter and brought to a much farther area. But Hachiko’s yearning for his master would not stop. So Hachiko would escape and go back to wait for his master in front of the train station.

Everyday Hachiko would wait for his master wait unwavering expectations. No rain, snow, or storm could stop Hachiko from waiting for his master. As long as Hachiko could hear the sound of a coming train, he’d wait there with excitement and love.

From time to time, the people who knew his master would give him food and water. Hachiko waited for 10 years until he was finally taken to dog heaven. This story happen a long time ago in Obate, Japan. There now stands a statue of the dog Hachiko in front of north Obate train station, as symbol of the great loyalty and love of Hachiko for his master.

Daddy, the movie that I saw today reminded me of your faithfulness and love. Until the very last day of our lives, you will be waiting for us. Your invitation of love will always be there, and you continue to wait with excitement and love.

For everyone on earth, you will be patiently waiting Father until they say yes to your invitation. As for me and my house, bless us that we may continue to be vigilant in saying yes to you in every single second of our lives.

This I all ask through the mighty name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

Personal Reflections of An Entrepreneur About Gratitude

Dear Daddy,

I have too many things to do, yet there are also a lot of errands that I need to do as well. I need to buy things for our house, I need to take care of my wife, and too many task to do for my online business and outside business.

I guess being an entrepreneur has many advantages and disadvantages as well. Although, I love the advantages and I believe 80% is in the advantage. But there is something that I really need to master, and that is being thankful with everything.

To be thankful even with the challenges and the time-balancing that is necessary. I have to be thankful and remain positive at all times so I can attract more blessings on all areas of my life. Having the belief that “everything I need comes to me”. That with everything I do is an essential lesson for my growth not only as an entrepreneur but more importantly as a representative and servant of your kingdom.

My Lord and Savior, bless me that I remain thankful in everything that I do. That as I write my personal reflections on paper, I will be able to appreciate all that I you have given to me, most especially the challenges. For as I hurdle my personal challenges, I grow stronger and more mature in loving myself and all of my precious relationships.

Also Lord, as I rejoined and challenge myself with the “90-day Challenge to a Million”, grant me guidance that I may find not only money but most especially my real self and mission in this world.

All of this I ask through the mighty name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

Having A Personal Reflection Is Great and Fun

Dear Daddy,

I’m so thankful for this great and wonderful day.

I have learned so much just by spending time with my wife and starting a new business. I believe I’m more focus now. I somehow seem to know and understand what I am supposed to do.

It’s relieves me to personally know that I am on the right track. Certainly, having a daily personal reflection is very helpful in pursuing my dreams.

I again reminded of a lesson that I always keep forgetting – that life is full of blessings, you’ll just need to look harder.

Today, I spend another loving-filled day with my wife and served my family through the little choirs that I do in our home. I thank you Daddy for allowing me see this through my deep personal reflections. Even little things like washing the dishes can make any man happy as long as he does it heartily, and I was able to discover that through your grace almighty Father.

I also had fun starting to a new business. I stumbled on diamond a while ago through a mistake that I will not forget. It only proves that nothing teaches us better but experience, especially painful ones. Instead of regretting, I now appreciate the diamond lessons that my mistakes bring. Thank you also for that Daddy.

Thank you also Father for finally giving me the courage to spend time adding, Google Adsense on my personal website. Finally, I was able to get over the fact that it will not make my website look good, but what’s important is that it will help me in my income.

I am very happy that I am able to do my personal reflections; it does not only allow me to look at the lessons in my life, but most especially the highlights in my daily life.

I ask for your blessings Dad. May you continue pouring financial blessings on me, so that I can be more generous to myself, my family, my friends, and our Christian community.

All of this I ask through the mighty name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

I am Still Lost But I Hold On to God's Promise

Dear Daddy,

I am now lost again. I keep committing the same old sins that I used to do.

Although I’m still trying to be good but when I’m alone, it seems impossible to do. As I reflect, I try my best to understand that root causes of my addictions.

I know one of the causes is because I had a difficult childhood, but when I look at deep inside my heart I know I have already forgiven my father. So what is now that’s fueling my addiction?

Is it loneliness? Am I angry inside? Am I afraid of something? Do I feel unworthy to be loved?

The list of questions could go on and on, but still I am not able to pinpoint the source of my addictions.

Though I know one thing that is for sure, and that’s God’s love for me. It may seem weird but after all of the sins I have done, I still comeback to you Dad. Though I would to think that I am sorry, but I guess that’s not always the case. Sometimes it could be the feeling of guilt, and sometimes it’s my conscience that bothers me, that’s most of the reasons that I really come back to you.

For a human like me, I guess that won’t be enough if ever someone has sinned against me, but for you Lord, it seems to be enough.

I really don’t know why, but I think you’re okay with it. Now that’s real LOVE. Love that is unconditional and unfailing.

I just pray Dad, that someday I will be fully worthy of that love. For now, I continue to be a humble servant that as your forgiveness. Have mercy on me Father for I am a sinner.

I ask your forgiveness Lord, through the mighty name of my brother Jesus.

Amen.

Lord Teach me to Trust You More!

Dear Daddy,

I thank you for another great day in my personal reflection. The Cebu Feast last night was again, another night of “spirit-recharging”. I was really able to appreciate the real purpose and reasons why I should not lose hope.

I was really struck with last night’s story, about a guy named Nick Vujicic. If I am complaining with my life now, I think the pain that he suffered before acknowledging you as his Father was far greater.

The message was so powerful that my tears started flowing from my eyes. With what you have given him Lord, you ask the question – DO YOU TRUST ME?

Do you trust me enough that whatever handicaps you have?
Do you trust me enough with what ever struggles you are facing right now?
Do you trust me enough with the financial difficulty you are facing now?
Do you trust me enough that whatever difficult relationship you have right?

DO YOU TRUST ME?

My answer is a very strong yes, yet I still often overlook this fact whenever difficulties come way. I start to doubt most especially in times of financial difficulties. I begin to question and which leads to attraction of more problems, rather than blessings and solutions.

I again ask for your grace Lord, that I may become more like Jesus everyday, that I may trust you in every moment in life. In every step I take daily, let me focus on your promise rather than the challenges in life.

As reflect on my goals and dreams daily, give me courage to shout to the world that it will come true, for I have an amazing and great God that first and foremost my Father; a Father who loves me more than anything on this earth.

All of this I ask in Jesus name.

Amen.

Find rest in my soul, in Christ the Lord.
Know his power, in quietness and trust. 


Chorus
When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with you above the storm. 
Father you are king over the flood, I will still know you are God. 

Yes, Lord. I will be still know you are my God.

With all the difficulties that I am facing right now in my; addictions, financial struggles, lack of focus, lack of prayer time, fear of loosing, and all my negative feelings I raise them to you Lord, and in the name of Jesus I claim victory all over them.

I know Lord God that with all of my needs you will provide for me abundantly. That in your Love Lord, I will truly find peace. Lord, let this be the day that I learn to focus on one thing, and that is your love for me as a Father.

Let me be strong Father, amidst the struggles I have right now. Remind me that I am your son, and that I am Jesus in my own very special way. In which, I have the enormous capacity to create abundance in all the areas of my life.

Most especially Father, grant me the strength to trust in your future provisions, that in my efforts today, all my needs will be available to me.

All these, I ask through mighty name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

Thank You For The Opportunity Of Appreciating Life

Dear Daddy,

I thank you Dad for giving me the opportunity to do my personal reflection, almost everyday.

I thank you for the protection Dad that you always provide for me, Mamai, and my entire family. Thank you for the free dinner Lord, care of Janmck. Thank you for Life itself Lord, that everyday I am able to wake up and spend more time with my wife. Thank you for giving us the financial capacity that I am able to bring Mamai for her monthly checkup with her OB. Thank you for the food and the fresh coffee that I drink at Bo’s Coffee Shop . Thank you for the gift that my friend Germaine gave to me.

And most of all Lord, allow me to appreciate the financial blessings that you gave me. Though, as of the moment Lord I am not really earning that much, but little by little Lord you are really showing me that there is a gold mine of opportunities on the online world.

Thank you, as well Lord, for the many opportunities that cross my path everyday. I have a very potential business that I can build with IMG. If ever I have friends who need real estate properties in Cebu, I can endorse them to a friend and could earn a possible commission. I have financial investments in mutual funds and the Philippine stock market that I can tap to, just in case I fully deplete my savings.

Lord, allow me to see blessings always, so that I may attract blessings in my life as well.

Again, it will be focus that will make me win or lose in the entrepreneurial world, and most especially in life. Remind me through your grace Lord, that as I do my personal reflection, I may see my dreams, and act on them daily.

All of this I ask in the mighty name of your son, Jesus.

Amen.

It's Been Quite A While Since I had My Personal Reflection

Dear Daddy,

It's been quite a while. I’ve been doing more useless stuff lately. Instead of focusing on life and making it more beautiful, I've been committing a lot of mistakes that move me away from you.

Just like how Brother Bo describes it, your punishment is not hardship, sickness, poverty, or anything bad, it is being far from you, that is already a great punishment. And it is only Sin that can move me far away from you.

Once, I commit it, it then creeps within me like a virus. In fact it’s so bad, that I think it sometimes affects my health. Through this I am able to personally prove that Bro. Bo’s theory about most people’s sickness is caused by emotional and spiritual bondage. Guilt, hidden anger, hate, hurt, and self pity are the real life killers than any other viral disease out there.

Good thing Lord is I have this daily personal reflection. I don’t think that I’d be able to really realize this if I don’t do personal reflections. It is only with this kind of practice that I am able to evaluate my day.

For all of my Sins Dad, I again, ask for forgiveness. Thank you for great and amazing love Lord. I ask of your grace that I be able to focus on your love in all the days of my life.

These, I all pray, in the name of my mighty and loving Brother Jesus.

Amen.
