Learning with Joy Prof Joy Sombillo

Have you ever been heartbroken? How did you cope with it? 

It is not anymore a question of who hurt us, but who we are now.

It is not anymore a question of what happened, but how we respond to it. 

Psalm 147: 1 and 3 

How good it is to sing praises to our God,
how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds

Psalm 147: 6, 10-11

6 The Lord sustains the humble
but casts the wicked to the ground.

10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
11 the Lord delights in those who fear him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.



Let us always check our motives, intentions whenever we want to achieve or have achieved something. 

To whom do we give credit? Is it "me, myself and I?"

Have you experienced losing someone or something and never had them/it back again?

This episode is perfect for you especially in your trying times, and having your stories and feelings untold to men but are known to God.

In Psalm 147:2 "The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel." 

He is the same God of yesterday, today and tomorrow, if He did it to them, He can do it to you. He can rebuild your temple of hope, faith and joy. 

Time is money. We all have 24 hours per day, but the way we use it differs. Even the Resurrection of Christ used time,

all segments of it used time. 

In Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” All things that happened, happens and will happen, is about "TIME." 

this time. let us spend a moment to listen,  reflect and decide to LEARN WITH JOY.

You matter even if you feel unworthy. You matter whenever you feel odd. You matter even when people see you as a good for nothing. 

This is my pilot episode. I go back to the thought that our identity is never the achievement, family, friends, or choices, etc.  Whenever we are  derailed of the worries and demands of everything around us, may we always find assurance in Christ . As we approach the Holy Week, let us not forget to reconnect with the One who saved us. The only One who laid His life for you and me. We are His heir, and you are not an accident because "you matter."

Ephesians 1:1-14    New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To God’s holy people in Ephesus,[a] the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory
