Nouwen: "What is most personal is most universal."

Sunday February 23, 2014
What Is Most Personal Is Most Universal

We like to make a distinction between our private and public lives and say, "Whatever I do in my private life is nobody else's business." But anyone trying to live a spiritual life will soon discover that the most personal is the most universal, the most hidden is the most public, and the most solitary is the most communal. What we live in the most intimate places of our beings is not just for us but for all people. That is why our inner lives are lives for others. That is why our solitude is a gift to our community, and that is why our most secret thoughts affect our common life.

Jesus says, "No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house" (Matthew 5:14-15). The most inner light is a light for the world. Let's not have "double lives"; let us allow what we live in private to be known in public.

God's messages to me in songs

Note: These are mostly songs I don't pay attention to consciously. I'd go to the extent of saying that some songs are songs I don't care about, and yet... This is the mystery of miracles.

--------------------------

Feb 16, 2014: "Love takes time to heal when you're hurting so much."

Feb 14, 2014: [Forgot to jot down the line from the song, but the message is "I love you so much."]

Feb. 13, 2014: "Anuman ang mangyari, di kita iiwan."

-------------------

Message in a Bible passage:

Feb. 12, 2014: Is. 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

---------------------

Feb. , 2014: "Loving you is easy coz you're beautiful."

Feb. , 2014: "When you love someone you gotta learn to let them go."

-----------------------

From the Bible again:

"God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand his wisdom, but we simply have to trust his will." Ps. 37:5

-----------------------

Feb. 24, 2014: "Never give up, never give in, never run away..."

Feb. 25, 2014: "You're my everything. Forever and a day I need you close to me..."

Mar. 2, 2014: "I'll be your shelter from the rain that never ends. You'll always have a friend in me." "So don't believe the world. No, the world can't give us paradise in the eye within the storm."

Mar. 4, 2014: "Kahit kailan, di kita iiwan. Kahit kailan, di kita pababayaan."

Mar. 4, 2014:

"Kahit ano pa ang nakaraan mo
Walang sinuman ang makapagbabago
Tapat ang pagmamahal ko
Sayo giliw ko

Kahit ano pa ang sabihin nila
Hindi ito hadlang sa hangarin ko
Wagas na pag ibig
Sigaw ng puso ko"

Mar. 5, 2014

"You got the best of my love, woo-hoo, woo-hoo..."

Mar. 5, 2014

"And dreams won't die, with tears in our eyes
You've got to hold your head up high... (yehhey... hey)"

Mar. 16, 2014
Ngayon at kailanman, sumpa ko’y iibigin ka, ngayon at kailanman. Hindi ka na mag-iisa ngayon at kailanman…
Mar. 17, 2014

At kung hindi man dumating sa tin ang panahon, na ako ay mahalin mo rin. Hindi ako magdarmdam kahit ako ay nasasaktan. Huwag mo lang ipagkait na ikaw ay aking mahalin…

Mar. 24, 2014

"It's an explosion -- my love for you. It's an explosion that keeps my heart beating and makes my soul alive haahaa"

Mar. 27, 2014
