Holy Bible: New Living Translation

My IQ is 160.

I speak 6 languages.

I earned my 1st million before age 25.

I own a lot of assets without any debt.

I am in good health.

My annual net income can buy a condo unit in cash.

I was the Head of Sales of the No. 1 eCommerce site in the Philippines.

I was working for 17 years straight without rest in different companies and at the peak of my career… then I QUIT!

God has blessed me time and time again even though I believe that I do not deserve it. Like a loving father, God forgives me and blesses me. I considered myself as the prodigal son, but not once, but non-stop.

At the age of 4, my family was really poor and I stole money from my brother to buy fish balls. And this is just the start. At a very young age, you could say that I broke almost all of the Ten Commandments.

Having said that, I felt like God was punishing me for my evil ways. I had difficulty coping in school. Before turning 12 years old I was hospitalized twice. Every Saturday for 52 weeks, I needed to go to the clinic so the doctor can remove the bacterial infection in a wrong surgical operation done to me. I was robbed and mugged numerous times but I only lost 20 pesos since we were poor anyways.

Another traumatic experience is that when I was around 9 years old, while walking to school, a stranger constantly harassed me sexually. But ironically afterwards, another stranger that I met on the street introduced me to real Faith, which is based on the Bible, God’s word.

I am born of a Christian family and we go to Church every Sunday out of tradition. But it all started to change when I started to read the Bible. I felt the Holy Spirit change my heart and accept Jesus into my life. Even with the little that I have, I started to give tithes and do good works. Afterwards, I saw the blessings pouring. I am able to swim 50 straight laps, get good grades and represent the school and win in different contests.

Sin is like drugs. I am addicted to it and I always fail. But I am glad to know that God’s love for us is unconditional. If asked if I consider myself successful, in man’s eyes maybe YES but in God’s eyes NOT YET. I would consider myself successful if through God’s Grace, all my relatives, friends and even enemies will end up in Heaven.

Because of the grace of God, I discovered that I have talents in drama, speech, singing and dancing. But when asked if I have the gift of writing, the answer is NO! Writing is the one thing that I really hate and detest doing.

(Bible) Matthew 28:19

Jesus said: “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

So why am I attempting to write? Based on the Great Commission above, this is what needs to be done and someone has to do it. Love your neighbor with all your heart and to show my love is to spread the Good News about the Salvation from Jesus. My end goal is that what I write can inspire other people who have the gift of writing to write better and give a better message. My prayer is that what I write can touch other people and help strengthen their Faith with God. My desire is that if God is willing, whoever reads this message will have an open heart to receive the plans of God for him or her.
