God Has Spoken

One evening, I asked myself, "Where should I draw the excitement in loving her?"

I recalled, " Love should never be based on emotions. It should never be based on anything superficial. It is a decision." I added, "I must not love just the idea of having a girlfriend. It is unfair on her part." And so I continue to resolve the conflict in my head trying to find out how will I keep the excitement in a relationship.

Then I remembered to ask God. He said, "Draw it from me. I want you to see what I see in her as I have created her. I want you to discover the very reason/s I gave her to you. You'll thank me for sending her to your life once you've found out the reason/s. You're gonna love her ultimately and you will enjoy (and not just endure as in other relationships)as you love her and spend with her the rest of your life. I have matched you to her for she is a compliment to you and vice versa. See, I am your God. I am Love.

"Amen!", I said.

malambot na unan

Mula noong bata pa ako, ang unan na malambot na meron ako ang yakap-yakap ko sa tuwing ako'y matutulog. Kinakagat, nilalamutak, pinangigigilan ko ito sa tuwing mapapasa-kamay ko. Dumaan ang panahon, di nagbago ang naging papel ng malambot na unan kong ito sa aking buhay. Siya ang unan na tila may hiwaga. Minsan, mainit ang ulo ko dahil sa isang pangyayari sa bahay. Sa pagpunta ko sa aking silid, nakita at nahawakan ko ang malambot na unan kong ito. Nanggigil ako. At sa sobrang gigil ko, kinagat-kagat ko ito. At natawa na lang ako sa sarili ko nang makita ko sa salamin ang ginagawa ko. Parang isang batang naghihimutok dahil naagawan ng kendi ang aking mukha nang biglang napahinahon ng isang malambot na unan na nakagigigil.

Talagang iba siya sa lahat ng aming unan sa bahay.

Parang ikaw...parang ikaw.
