I was doing my daily journal and searching myself for the Lord's message for me for the day...trying to see what God would teach me today...I closed my eyes... search my feelings and began writing soon as I opened my eyes...
Hanap
ako ng hanap ng kaligayahan
Maging
ang Diyos ay akin na ngang nilapitan
Pero
bakit nakadarama pa din ng kalungkutan?
Sadyang
ako ba ay walang kasiyahan?
Ano at tila ba di’ ako makuntento?
Mabait
ang pamilya, pagmamahal ay dama ko.
Kung simpleng kailangan ay di’ makukulangan
Wala na nga ba akong kabusugan?
Sa
tuwing gigising, lagi may pag-aalala
Simula
pa lang ng araw, iniisip ay bukas na.
Nasaan na ang turo ng Diyos na huwag mabahala?
Nagkukulang na nga ba ako sa Diyos ng tiwala?
Kasi ba naman, kulang ka sa pananalangin!
Yan madalas sa sarili ay ibig kong sabihin.
Gumawa ka ng mabuti, maging maayos, pagsipagin!
Ibaling sa paggawa ang iyong isipin!
Tama! Iyon na nga siguro ang solusyon!
Ibaling ang isip sa tamang edukasyon!
Sa negosyo, sa trabaho, pagpapalawig ng
pananampalataya...
At tigilan ang mukmok at pagngangangawa!
Akalain
mo ‘yon?! J
I would try to write this in english one day. I thought of sharing this hoping to help enlighten hearts of friends who would have this same feeling. Eventhough this poem was nothing in relation with the verse I was having which is Proverbs 11:2 still I had my day positively happy and productive afterwards!
To God be the glory! Have a blessed day!
Oh, I love your poem.Part nga ata natin ang pagiging laging balisa. You know what, di ba my dad passed away June 25. Alam mo ba, on that day, sa morning when I thought everything was ok na (cuz he seemed so over his sickness na and ready to go home), I went to the image of the Divine Mercy and kung dati I would never even say "I Trust in you" and "your will be done", I told Him those words. And during lunch time when biglang bumagsak ang kalagayan ng father ko,I went to Him again and went over my bargaining- I just said "I trust in you." Trusting in Him lifted all my fears-and helped me cope with my dad being gone...
TumugonBurahinThank you, Marie. All praises back to God. It's true, Marie. You are right. Trusting the Lord is the best.
BurahinAkalain mo yun...writing poems is not one of my talents, although I have written a couple of them. Sometimes, I realize, it is easier to write one from the outpouring of the heart, a divine inspiration, if I may say so, like this one.
TumugonBurahinI've started out my own prayer journal blog...but it's still set to private. :-)
Praise the Lord! You starting a journal is a music to my ears and a joyful sound to heaven! God bless, Aileen! the Lord would always be with us!
BurahinYour heart can make you recites poems and sing music too...
ganda ng poem..lahat naman tayo ag daraan sa ganitong situation we all have to trust in him and everything will be alright..
TumugonBurahinAnen! Salamat. Sa Diyos ang papuri!
BurahinApplause! Linggo ng Wika or Linggo ng Buwan sis so timing ang poem mo. But I agree, we should put our complete trust to the Lord and shake off useless anxieties. :)
TumugonBurahinBow! (hehe) you are so right..let's shake it off!
BurahinAkalain mo yon! nakagawa ng tula..hehehe..Nice one..I agree with the last stanza.
TumugonBurahinAppear!...talaga naman...hehe
BurahinAng ganda! I envy your poem writing skills. Kuddos to you. :)
TumugonBurahinThanks for the kudos! God bless!
BurahinNIce one tita Glenda, it feels good to be having someone i know personally and doing blog just what i do. :) More power and i love that you use your blog to share the gospel and your daily experiences with the Lord, it's the best story ever to tell! :)
TumugonBurahinFinally, you read my article. I just prayed that others would too so I can manage to share pa din even though we are miles away. Your comment is a blessing! Hoping to see more of your comments! God bless, Steve!

BurahinAng galing! Inspirado talaga. Tumpak na tumpak din sa ating walang pagkakuntento with what we have.
TumugonBurahinGod is really inspiring. Talaga naman sometimes we seems to forget the beauty of everything that we have. :)
BurahinAng galing naman ng tula! Tunay na pinapaalala na hindi dapat mabahala at dapat parati magdasal sa Poong Maykapal! :)
TumugonBurahinAmen! Maligayang araw ng wika, Janz! at tunay nga na dapat sa Diyos ay magtiwala! :)
BurahinHaving Christ is our life is truly a life-changing experience. You are able to do the impossible and completely transform into a better being :)
TumugonBurahinAmen! This is a very wonderful comment, Farida. thanks for seeing the beauty of what having Christ in our lives. All praises to God!
BurahinI feel you. I'm having the same feeling lately and I don't know where it's coming from. What's the source of it? I need to focus and listen to my inner heart.
TumugonBurahinWe got to have a Christ centered life..got to keep it and stay with it to surpass these kind of feelings. Ganun siguro talaga, human kasi tayo...kaya we need God for guidance..always.
BurahinThe poem is very nice! Tagos-puso! Yes, you should make an English version of this someday. I'm sure this lovely poem can inspire Christians all over the world.
TumugonBurahinI would try to translate it (nose bleed..hehehe) I hope it does inspire. God bless!
BurahinAng galing. Saktong sakto un poem Ate Glen. Sabi na may hidden talent po kayo e, akalain mo un? Haha...
TumugonBurahinSakto ba?..5 pesos lang hehehe..itago ko na lang ba yung talent?hehehe God is good all the time!
Burahinbrilliant! being able to write such a heartfelt poem is already a blessing of talent bestowed upon you.
TumugonBurahinAmen! Thank you po,mam! To God be the glory! God bless po!
BurahinAwesome!
TumugonBurahinYou na talaga :)
Thanks for sharing your talent with us and goodluck on translating that in English :)
To God be the glory! Welcome po. I would try to translate..(nose bleed..hehehe)
BurahinBeautiful poem, Ms. Glenda! Full of wisdom talaga ang posts nyo. This is so true. I think the difference between people who give up and the ones who don't is faith. It's hard if we depend on ourselves because we'll get nowhere. On the other hand, depending on God fully leads to bliss. :-)
TumugonBurahinThank you so much, Ms. Marie! God bless! All praises back to God. It is really hard to depend on ourselves. True. we need God!
BurahinI wonder how many people today pause to reflect on what God wants to tell them, like you did. I hope we all can do it.
TumugonBurahinKeep sharing your thoughts with your readers and keep inspiring others with them.
Thank you so much for that wonderful encouragement. To God be the glory! I would continue sharing. Your comment is very inspiring. God bless!
Burahinyour poem gave justice to our daily struggles. pero syempre kailangan lang natin magtiwala sa kanya.
TumugonBurahinVery true , Sam. God bless! :)
Burahinsuch a great poem...napareflect ako
TumugonBurahinTalaga ha! :) Thanks! To God be the glory!
Burahinwow, such an inspiring poem. my hubby loves to write poems, too. but he told me that he's only able to write when he's really, really inspired. thanks for sharing your beautiful poem, miss glenda. that is so true. sometimes, when we tend to lose hope and feel like we're failing, we only need to trust in Him and do our best in everything that we do.
TumugonBurahinSo true, miss van. God bless! :)
BurahinAng ganda. Magandang reflection. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. :)
TumugonBurahinWelcome po. God bless!
TumugonBurahinPass by this poem again. Hmmm... well, are you done with the English version sis? ;)
