If I Had Two Hearts

If I had two hearts,
do not fear, my love…
For I would never
make you cry.

If you think
I’d use them,
to break your heart,
have faith that I won’t even try.

I won’t run away to use that heart,
to love another man,
Why must I leave for that heart to beat,
when I’ve already found someone?

If I had two hearts,
do not fear, my love…
For I will use both
in loving you.

May these two hearts
be ever yours…
May it beat as one
with love so true!

When I Wandered Far From You

Stay with me,
Hold my trembling hands!
And with my failing strength,
I’d give you all my thanks.

The night is dark,
and morning seems so long,
How could I carry on
unless someone comes along?

In the land of shadows,
where I walked,
I forgot all my hopes
’til I heard a song.

I heard your voice
from far away
And hope returned
when I saw your face.

Why did I ever
wander far,
when I have all
right where you are?

Never Let Yourself Down

NEVER LET YOURSELF DOWN

There will come a time when people would put you down. People would judge you. Those who hardly know you. And those whom you thought knew you well. You will look for comfort but you will find none. You will wander the streets weeping but not a friend will be in sight.

Never let yourself down. Take heart, for no matter how awful the accusations against you are, you are still a child of God.

This is the time when your love for yourself will be tested. Whether you will believe what others say about you, or whether you will stand your ground because you know yourself best.

Take comfort knowing that you are never alone. God still believes in you, you know. God loves you and sees in you the person everybody else failed to see.

Never fail to see that person. Never let yourself down.

Loving Yourself Through God’s Eyes

Loving Yourself Through God’s Eyes

There are times when no matter how hard we try, we feel unable to love ourselves. In such times, we feel its so much easier to love other people. After all, they’re not with us 24 hours in a day We don’t see all their weaknesses. We don’t have to live with their regrets. And we’re not the ones who have to carry their hurts.

In such times, we feel overwhelmed. We don’t have enough strength to accept this person we see in the mirror everyday.

We don’t have enough love to love her. We don’t have enough strength to uplift her when she couldn’t believe in herself anymore.

During such times, I’ve known of a way to help you continue improving your relationship with yourself. And that way is to see yourself through God’s own eyes.

In God’s eyes, there is no judgment, there is only acceptance. In God’s eyes, there is no pain too hard to bear nor weaknesses too weak to be overcome by His insurmountable strength.

God can embrace us wholeheartedly, opening us up yet sustaining us and healing us at the same time. God sees all our potentials. God sees our light when all that we can see are our shadows.

God sees this person who falls but who has the power to get up again and again. God sees this person who gets hurt but does not become hard or bitter, only softer, more resilient to change.

God sees you. God cherishes you. God’s eyes love you more than anyone could ever love you as you really are.

Separating Our Mistakes From Our Self-Image

Separating Our Mistakes from Our Self Image

Sometimes its so easy not to separate our behavior from our image of ourselves, to separate the sin from the sinner, so they say.

When we make blunders, we feel we’re failures. When we have broken relationships, we feel we are broken too and worthless.

However, if we truly desire to improve our relationship with ourselves, we must learn to practice acknowledging our errors without eroding our overall belief in our worth.

So you failed in your exams, does it mean you haven’t learned anything? So you weren’t accepted for a job, does it mean no employer would later on trust you and consider you a valuable asset to his company?

Things like those happen. Things change. What should remain intact is our respect and love for ourselves, our belief that we are God’s children and no matter how many mistakes we make along the way of growing up, we are still destined for Grace and eternal Joy!
