The tongue daw is a restless evil. In proverbs 18:21, the tongue is described as having the power of life and death. But taming the tongue is possible if we submit it to God. I guess with me, I tend to be tactless at yun ang dapat ko i-ask ng help kay God.

Q.T.


"It is throught these clouds that the spirit of God is teaching us how to walk by faith (....) Through every cloud, (...) He wants us to UNLEARN something." O. Chambers My Utmost for His Highest July 29

It is a pleasure to know that God is continually teaching me His ways though I have a feeling He thinks I'm the most hard-headed student who constantly needs to be reminded.

God had taught me to be thankful in all circumstances - I kept asking, begging even, Him for a new car but it never occured to me to thank Him for the one I drive; I cried to Him about my heartaches because of a boy but it never occured to me to thank Him for a minor problem that the whole family does not have to deal with.

I pray that he would allow me to discover more about what it is to have a child-like relationship with Him.
