“It’s impossible to receive what you don’t have space to hold.”

[Brent Beshore @BrentBeshore]

2 Kings 1-3; Luke 24:1-35 – Know: Faith is not a prize to be earned, but a gift to be received. There is no achievement in following Jesus. Without God’s intervention, I could learn about Jesus like I would any other historical figure. I could know about Jesus, but to know him, love, him, and abide in him requires a change of heart. And, no amount of effort or learning changes the heart. It’s impossible to receive what you don’t have space to hold. To receive, I must be emptied. My selfish desires, cravings of control, and false notions of self-rule must be laid down to make space for truth to enter my life. Busyness, hunger, anger, ambition, competition, resentment, conflict, and lust have no place in a life ready to receive Jesus, and all he has for me. Posture matters. I must go palms down before I can go palms up. Father, what do you have for me? What fears am I living with? Are there things I’m believing that are untrue about me or others? Be: unhurried in my pursuit of Jesus. Do: Deconstruct all that competes for space in my soul, letting Jesus fill me.

18 months ago I asked a wise older man for the #1 piece of advice he would give his 30 year old self. He said:

"Read the Bible every day, then journal what you should know, who you should be, and what you should do based on what you read. It will change your life."

I thanked him and then asked him for anything else he might recommend. He said, "Stop. I just told you. Did you not listen? You don't need more advice. If you do what I said, it will change your life."

Humbled, I agreed to start and he graciously shared his daily reflections with me, and has been doing so ever since. 18 months later, I can say he was right.

It has changed my life. I've watched my life gain more peace, and patience, and gentleness. I say that passively because there's a receiving in it. Some days I do it with excitement and other days out of obligation, but regardless I'm always happy I did it. It has reset the trajectory of my days for my good and the good of those around me.

Along the way, I've shared the practice with some close friends and it has changed their lives. And they've shared it with their friends and changed their lives.

So in hopes of helping more, I've decided to start posting my reflections in this thread daily. If you'd like to join me, here's how it works:

1) Get a Bible. I like a physical copy, but use whatever works for you. I prefer ESV, but NIV is also a good choice. There are tons of great apps, or Bible Hub is a good resource (https://t.co/xOSoy5kdzy).

2) Choose a reading plan. I find it easier to be told what to read than to make the choice daily. My favorite is a daily reading plan by Oswald Chambers (https://t.co/4xuC6J8FEE). It serves up a reflection, followed by recommended reading at the bottom. Tip -- sign up for it to be sent to your email every day and choose the modern language version.

3) Read, reflect, and pray. Then journal what you should know, who you should be, and what you should do based on what you read.

4) If you're so inclined, share your reflection as a reply to my daily reflection. I'll try to be vulnerable and would encourage you to do the same, but understandably some are going to be too raw to feel comfortable sharing, and that's ok.

5) If you find it valuable, invite your friends and as Hebrews 10:24 says, "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."

And if you have any questions, my DMs are open.

Hindi masama ang Modernization ng public transport.

Ang mahirap yung ipapasagot ng gobyerno sa mga mahihirap na drayber ang gastos.

Bat di na lang Gobyerno ang mag pondo?

Tapos gawing swelduhang maayos na may benepisyo, insurance, at job security ang mga drayber?

If you set a boundary with someone and they leave, that’s good. The point of boundaries isn’t to “fix” relationships. It’s to protect your mental and emotional health from toxic relationships. Sometimes that happens by healing the relationship, other times by losing it.

You can get pretty damn far in life by just saying what you're going to do and then doing it.

remember that time in 2020 when we were stuck in our houses not knowing when it’ll all be okay? well, two years later, it did. we can all go out now.

it is a privilege to step outside our homes to bond with family and friends, cherish every moment.

this is our second chance.

They shot dead broadcaster Percy Lapid tonight in Las Pinas, as he was heading to work for his Lapid Fire program.
A scan of his commentaries reveals tough criticism of officials of the Marcos govt and the previous admin: Duterte Bato, Badoy. Let us condemn this murder!

look back not only to see how far you’ve come, but also to appreciate how much you have now
