A God Without Limits

At this point in my life, I have learned 2 things: 1.) Evil has no Age. 2.) Money is really the root of all evil.

Back in the days, my Dad “gave” some shares of stocks to his sisters to form a corporation. A corporation that started with nothing but because of his single-handed persistence & hard work, scaled great heights & now amounts to something.

To form a corporation, you need to have at least 5 people. And because my brother & I were minors at the time, my father used his 2 sisters’ names to fill in the gap. He held on to the papers though, which showed he had no intention of giving them any ownership & their participation is only for legal purposes.

Upon his passing & as we came of age, we decided to buy back the shares to clean the corporation & to keep the business in the immediate family.

One aunt lives in London but her sister residing in Manila assured us that she had the Power of Attorney to sign in behalf of. She even showed us proof & promised to turn it over once the deal was struck. And so, money & corresponding shares of stocks of the sisters exchanged hands. Decades of animosity finally ended, or so we thought.

Proof that they lie. Exodus 20: 1 And God spoke all these words: 2“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15“You shall not steal.

Exodus 20: 16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. 17“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.” That’s 3 broken commandments so far. 😐

Lo & behold, after all that’s been said & done, I get demand letters for forgery, illegal sale & whatnots causing me undue stress & great distress to my health.

Kap had to rush me to Asian for chest pains. We really thought it was the end of the line for me. This is what my poor husband & kids had to endure.

They even went as far as getting the notary public to turn against his sworn affidavit. For the love of all things good & decent, can you imagine the desperateness to go as far as stalking & maybe even the extent of bribing the notary public? They are really so pathetic & have totally lost their sense of decency.

“Love letter” I received last Saturday. </3

What is the world coming to when your own flesh & blood seeks to destroy you for the sake of money? We are talking about late octogenarians here, their lives are nearing its end, and yet their hearts are still filled with malice & corruption. It’s one thing to screw other people, but to screw your own niece? What does that say about their character? Mga matatandang walang pinagtandaan. Nandito palang sila sa mundong ibabaw sinusunog na ang mga kaluluwa nila sa impyerno down below.

I am trying very hard to be strong, and I am just so thankful for Kap & the kids who are always rallying behind me & encouraging me. Cheering me up & cheering me on. It’s not the amount, it’s not so much the cases in court that they continue to file one after the other against me. It’s the thought that I am actually related to these bloodsuckers that get to me. It’s the deceit & maliciousness involved that makes me disappointed in humanity.

They probably already spent the money we paid & now they want more. Had they come to me asking nicely for dole-outs I would have gladly given them more that what they deserve. But no, they once again showed their evil ways & treacherous hearts. No wonder my mom never got along with them even from the start. They are the scums of the earth, worse than bottom-feeders.

Try as I might, I can’t make my heart forgive them. My hatred for them is so deep that it is already affecting my health. Then God spoke to me as I cried out to Him in pain. If I continue to let them affect me, ako ang talo – sila ang panalo. Instead, I should lift up my burdens to my real Father in heaven who will never leave me, will never forsake me, and unlike the one I had on earth, will never let me down.

Father God, you know the burdens in my heart. You know my thoughts & my feelings. I pray that You will renew a clean spirit within me. One that understands, one that forgives, and yes even one that loves in spite of. You have given me so many blessings. Should I then accept the good but not the bad?

I pray Lord for Your comfort to be upon me as I face these battles, knowing that if You are for me, who can be against me? I am scared, I am hurt, I am confused, and yes, I am very angry. Please let Your presence be felt, my God. Only You can change a negative into a positive. Only You can heal our hearts & souls.

Work not just in their hearts oh Lord, but in mine as well. In everything, I give You thanks & praise. I know in my heart that all things work together for the good of those who loves God, for those who are called according to His purpose. And so, I lift up all that I am to you Father, trusting that You will take care of me, just as You have always done. Let justice prevail. Amen.

Romans 12: 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

Last Sunday, God spoke to me again in church, Christ Commission Fellowship, through Pastor Peter Tanchi. I was downtrodden & my heart was very heavy, having just received another letter the previous day.

Tears flowed freely as I listened to God speak to me as soon as we went in.. Indeed, I have made You too small in my eyes, oh Lord forgive me. I have believed in a lie, that You were unable to help me. :'(

God is Limitless. Experience God’s Power:

A – Admit that you are limited. You are only a distributor, not the manufacturer (God).

S – Surrender the little that you have. When you give the little that you have, it becomes plenty. God will multiply it.

O – When God asks you to do something, you must Obey. Leave the consequences to God. Get out of the boat (comfort zone).

 

Remember: A christian life may not be a storm-free life, but expect to have a storm-proof life. Oftentimes, we overestimate our own power & reaources & we underestimate God’s limitless powers. Jesus allows us to have problems but He is never absent. He is always present & will deliver us from the storm in His own time. It may be delayed but it will surely come.

Matt 14: 25-32
When you feel like sinking, fix your eyes on Jesus. Don’t look at the storm, focus on Jesus to experience God’s power. Remember that security is never in the absence of storm, it is always the presence of God. When you walk with the Lord it’s a life of supernatural living.

Thank you for speaking to me dear Jesus, every single time I need You the most. Be Blessed everyone, happy Sunday. :-*

    Sending my embrace to you as you struggle not to give in to the anger. You are such a beautiful person, in and out. The enemy is attacking you where he knows you will be vulnerable. Praying that the love of family and friends will be enough to dispel the dark clouds and keep the sun shining.

    Hi Jane dont think of them just let it be and lift it all to God he knows that you did not do anything. Just surround yourself with your family and not think of it. I know it might not be easy but remember you are a good person inside and out and that matters ang pera dito lang yan sa mundo hindi nila madadala.

    Hi Jane. I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while now and I just wanted to offer some words of support. I saw the same thing happen to my dad’s family (some my dad’s siblings actually filed a criminal case against my then 80-year-old Lolo because they wanted control of his company and till now, their heirs are still harassing my dad without whom none of the family properties would still be intact- long story, but I digress) and I can imagine the enormous stress and frustration you must be feeling. Money really does bring out the worst in some people, but be strong and keep faith. Like you, I believe that God will look after those with good hearts and good intentions. He will protect his own. The last thing we should do is let Evil win by allowing our health, inner peace and values to be corrupted. I will pray for you and your family and thank you for being so open about your experiences.

    This is a really hard situation because money and family are involved. You are a good person, I know God will guide and get your through this difficult time. Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Sending you lots of love.

    Mama Bear, I feel so sad that a very giving and selfless person such as you is going through this. It’s probably a reality that there will be people who worship money and will do so until they die. You’ll get through this, Mama Bear. We are all behind you. 🙂

    Jane, it’s always a struggle to forgive people who have wronged you. It’s easier to say to be the better person but we are just human and sometimes, we cannot help the resentment and anger we feel. Just hold on and trust God to see you through all this. You have your family who loves you. Your aunts must live very miserable lives to drag you down because of their greed. It reflects on them, not on you. So just focus on God’s love and your family’s love. Hugs to you!
