LIFE'S LESSON IN PAIN

Bilang isang tao, normal sa atin ang ayaw masaktan. Sabagay sino ba naman ang gustong dumanas ng hapdi, kirot or sakit? Pisikal man yan o emosyonal. Kahit pa sabihin mo na may matutunan ka, tatatag ka, titibay ka...o kahit ano pang benepisyo ng sakit....walang tao ang gustong masaktan period...bakit? E masakit nga kasi.. Kaya nga nauso painless sa panganganak kasi mahirap manganak..ang hirap kayang mag labor? Nine months na ngang nasa tiyan si baby tapos pag due date mo na, sakit na naman..aba'y tama na...sobra na..mag painless na...hehehe

Pero alam nyo ba na it's through pain that we change? And mostly for our betterment. Paano? Let's continue reading:

Pain whether we accept it our not is one of the best teachers in life. Would you believe that most or maybe all successful people went through pain? Most of us knows Steve Jobs as a successful innovator (the man behind Apple) but little did we know that one point of his life, he was kick out from the company that he established and went bankrupt. But this pain and rejection never stop him, in fact he uses this pain to fight back in life. At ngayon may iphone, ipod at ipad.

Colonel Harland Sanders, the man behind KFC went to a lot of pain and struggles in his life. Puro problema ang buhay nya at nung nasa edad 60 na siya...nag tangka siyang mag pakamatay dahil tumanda na siya na walang papatunguhan at puro sakit nalang ang nang yayari sa buhay nya. Pero kesa sumuko, naisip nya na meron pa pala siyang pwedeng gawin...ano ito? ang itinda ang kanyang chicken recipe...akala nyo ba naging madali ito? Hindi! Umabot sa mahigit isang libo ang nag reject sa kanyang recipe..pero hindi siya tumigil dahil alam nya, masarap yung recipe nya..pain after pain..rejection after rejection and finally may bumili din ng kanyang recipe..fast forward...after 20 years...Milyonaryo na siya at ang KFC Fried Chicken ay makikita mo sa buong mundo...

Ilan lang yan sa mga taong dumanas ng sakit, naghirap at inabot ng katakot takot na problema pero di ito naging handlang upang mag tagumpay. Pain teaches us a lot of things in life that is very beneficial if you want to be successful. 

I knew somebody who accumulated a lot of debt for what so ever reason at dahil nalubog siya sa utang, he began to get closer to God. At this lowest point in his life he learn a lot things. I guess God has taught Him things that he cannot learn during his days of prosperity but only it times of poverty. He began to know who are his friends are, he began to learn new crafts and skills, things that he doesn't know na kaya pala niyang gawin. He learn how to save, budget and invest. And most of all, he learn to give on the few money he has. He learn all of this during his painful times at ngayon, he is twice richer than what he has previously! And take note...wala pa siyang UTANG na! All this he learn during pain....Amen!

Lastly, you would know how much you love somebody in pain. Paano? If a person hurts you, and in-spite of the pain, mahal mo pa din...Love mo nga talaga..If you are willing to give up everything or work hard or give everything kahit mahirapan or masaktan ka..True love nga yan...

Ganon tayo kamahal ng ating Panginoong Hesus...tiniis nya lahat ng hapdi, kirot, sakit, latay, kahihiyan...para mapatunayan lang niya kung gano nya tayo kamahal. Kahit buhay pa niya inalay nya..bakit? para pag dating ng panahon...makikita ka nya sa langit..kung tatangapin mo siya bilang Diyos at taga pagligtas. Gusto mo ba? Pray this prayer:

"Panginoong Hesus, salamat po sa pagtubos mo ng aking kasalanan sa krus ng kalbaryo. Patawarin mo po ako sa lahat ng aking kasalanan gaya ng pagpapatawad kopo sa lahat ng nagkasala sa akin. Ikaw na po ang maging Diyos at taga pagligtas ng buhay ko at gawin nyo po akong isang nilalang lamang na lumalakad ayun sa inyong kalooban..Amen"
