.. MY STORY OF INSPIRATION .. (Summarized)

When you request a child to spell the word “Inspiration” in terms of his/her studies or why he/she keeps on being perseverant with this, it would or might spell, P-A-R-E-N-T-S. But, with these kind of civilization we’re having and facing right now with a disappointing world view and due to many reasons and changes that continuously suggest itself in this world, this good individuality of the people living here on earth has been vanished.
          But, even if others says that “PARENTS” are the Lords of all the inspirers than any other in this nasty world, still, for me, there is one more than other that can be my one and only inspiration. There is nothing here on earth than can replace this very perfect and matchless inspiration that really inspires me, my personal Lord and Redeemer JESUS CHRIST.
          I was a pretender, embroidered, liar, and an individual who is doing horrific things behind closed doors so that others would still admire and be acquainted with me as one of the blameless. Although in my school when I was still in my earlier age in schooling, I’ve studied on a Christian School at Laguna, which is very closely controlled in a way that they were instructing children to be God-centered. But while we were having our summer vacation, my mother decided to stay here at Muntinlupa for good. And that’s why when I came to my 2nd grade in elementary, I studied in a public school wherein I heard very strange and bad words. In my three years of familiarization of that kind of words time and again, this is my turning point of being an insignificant person. But not that insignificant. I’m unimportant in a way that I didn’t show respect to my parents “sometimes”, love to my studies, and the worst thing that I’ve done is that I’ve forgot the one who gave His life for me. I’m not a person that uses drugs, having fraternities, staying up late at the street, and is very liberated. Even I’m in that kind of situation, I still know my limitations. I still have fear on my parents, and a bit to God. It’s my own view of how to measure the worth of a person. Maybe it’s exaggerated, but it’s my own opinion. And will always be.
           But something happened when I’ve got to my 5th year of being an elementary. It was the 17th day of September when my own feet lead me to a church named “Cornerstone Christian Community” that was positioned beside an abattoir. I personally can’t remember why I have been to that church but the fact is its God’s plan for these to take place. And that was the second turning point of my life. During the same date, somebody had a sit beside me and as a Filipino, chatting cannot be departed from our tongues. So, we had a brief conversation. Then after a few minutes, at the exact time of 11:46 in the morning of the Philippine hour, he has raised up a question telling, “Do you know where you will go after this life of yours?” Every letter of that sentence played repeatedly in my mind for a short period of time. Then suddenly I’ve answered, “NO.” And with that, he shared some Bible verses to me and then we pray of something different from other prayers. That prayer really touched my heart. And in fact, these very Christ centered prayer of salvation caused my eyes to release countless drops of tears. I don’t know why but surprisingly, tears ran over my repentant face. In this time, I realized how I work for a very big mistake in my life. And since then, I’ve promise God that I will serve Him throughout my life and will serve my purpose in this world. He has been my inspiration to study harder, to change everything unwanted in my life, and in working out my hidden talents. The Lord truly changed me into a new and better creation and I’m very thankful because He chose me to be His own.
Sometimes or maybe every time we do something, we we’re doing this just to fill our desires or for our inspiration. But it is against on what the Bible says on 1 Corinthians 10:31, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
              We must also keep ourselves away from being dependent on our inspirations because anything and everything in this world may fail us. But, Jesus? Just always remember what He has promised. “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So, for us to be victorious, in everything we do, let’s put God first and He will direct us and crown our efforts with success.
