Are you secure enough, to be offended?

This past few weeks, I have struggled with things that my security was questioned.. I hide from friends, I kept my  self from from other people, I even deactivated my social networks, in short, I caved in...

I put myself into solitude... This solitude has given me a chance to reflect, to process and filter the things that had happened to me.

One thing that I was reminded of me security.. to what or whom my security is based..

 Upon reading my bible, I was brought to the scriptures from Matthew where Jesus was on His way to Golgotha..


Mat 27:29  and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. 
Mat 27:30  They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 
Mat 27:31  After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. 
Mat 27:32  As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 
Mat 27:33  They came to a place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). 
Mat 27:34  There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 
Mat 27:35  When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 
Mat 27:36  And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 
Mat 27:37  Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 
Mat 27:38  Two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 
Mat 27:39  Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 
Mat 27:40  and saying, "You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!" 
Mat 27:41  In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 
Mat 27:42  He saved others, they said, "but he can't save himself! He's the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 
Mat 27:43  He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.' " 
Mat 27:44  In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also heaped insults on Him.



He was mocked, spit, insulted, many times but not a things came out from His mouth or He fight back.. I don't think that Jesus was weak nor afraid.. Jesus was very secured by His identity. Being a Song Of God, He doesn't need to brag about His identity, nor fight back to those who insulted Him.

Pero tayo, pag may sinabi sa atin ang ibang tao, offended na tayo agad, nagagalit na tayo, minsan, nauuwi sa away pa..

Jesus showed us so many things on how we live our lives, one of things things is to be secured by our identity....

Next time, if someone had offended you, what you gonna do? cry? sob? fight back with insults?

Tsk Tsk Tsk.....


“You cannot be offended and anointed at the same time.

Lost in Your love

I want to go where no one can find me....

Sometimes, solitude or being alone can solve your problems...

I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE..... for now...
