i CARE TO CARE


Psalm 91

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God


91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”


3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.


7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have 
made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.


14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”



Psalm 91 

1Siyang tumatahan sa lihim na dako ng Kataastaasan. Ay mananatili sa lilim ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
2Aking sasabihin tungkol sa Panginoon, siya'y aking kanlungan at aking katibayan, ang Dios ko na siyang aking tinitiwalaan.
3Sapagka't kaniyang ililigtas ka sa silo ng paninilo, at sa mapamuksang salot.
4Kaniyang tatakpan ka ng kaniyang mga bagwis, at sa ilalim ng kaniyang mga pakpak ay manganganlong ka: ang kaniyang katotohanan ay kalasag at baluti.
5Ikaw ay hindi matatakot sa kakilabutan sa gabi, ni sa pana man na humihilagpos kung araw;
6Dahil sa salot na dumarating sa kadiliman, ni dahil sa paggiba man na sumisira sa katanghaliang tapat.
7Isang libo ay mabubuwal sa iyong siping, at sangpung libo sa iyong kanan; nguni't hindi lalapit sa iyo.
8Iyong mamamasdan lamang ng iyong mga mata, at iyong makikita ang ganti sa masama.
9Sapagka't ikaw, Oh Panginoon, ay aking kanlungan! Iyong ginawa ang Kataastaasan na iyong tahanan;
10Walang kasamaang mangyayari sa iyo, ni anomang salot ay lalapit sa iyong tolda.
11Sapagka't siya'y magbibilin sa kaniyang mga anghel tungkol sa iyo, upang ingatan ka sa lahat ng iyong mga lakad.
12Kanilang dadalhin ka sa kanilang mga kamay, baka matisod ka ng iyong paa sa isang bato.
13Iyong yayapakan ang leon at ang ulupong: ang batang leon at ang ahas ay yuyurakan mo ng iyong mga paa.
14Sapagka't kaniyang inilagak ang kaniyang pagibig sa akin, kaya't iniligtas ko siya: aking ilalagay siya sa mataas, sapagka't kaniyang naalaman ang pangalan ko.
15Siya'y tatawag sa akin, at sasagutin ko siya; ako'y sasa kaniya sa kabagabagan: aking ililigtas siya, at pararangalan siya.
16Aking bubusugin siya ng mahabang buhay, at ipakikita ko sa kaniya ang aking pagliligtas.



How can I ever forget to lift up in prayer your safety and best welfare

Care for someone seems to be natural despite the inspites

At the end of the day, you are still a brother in the Lord

Said relationship is amplified by the fact of our meeting.



Not because it is not romantic that it could not be brotherly
One told me that it is impossible
I dare not doubt its possibility for I only believe that it is right
Considering a person a brother in the Lord is never wrong.


When I remember the risk that a friend is into
My heart simply burns in deep concern
I was introduced to the real ills and danger of police operations
These I never knew before our paths crossed.


You may never know that I still care
That sleep evades me when news of bombs and ambush reach my end
My hope is that you strengthen your relationship with God
In prayer and in reading His word, that you abide in His love.


No matter what you put me through
I cannot change my self
I love people and I care about people
Specially those who were purposely placed in my life and you are one of them.

I could still recall the dreadful feeling whenever he goes to operations. I kept praying for his safety, wisdom in the conduct of operations and for peace in my heart that all will be well because God is with him. I remember how I distract myself while waiting for his call to tell me that all went according to plan and no one was hurt. The joy of thanking God that he and his troop were protected from danger. In those occasions I learned to be more calm and to put all my trust in God as to their lives. Having gone through all of it, there is no way that I could forget to care and pray. Every life is precious in the eyes of the Lord.


Bisan indi na kita lapitay nga maghigala
Bisan wala nako mi nabati-an simu
Bisan nalipatan mo nako kag wala ka labot sakon
Kag bisan di na kita magkita liwat
Handum ko gyapon nga tani pirmi ka layo sa kala-inan.

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

Let not thine heart be troubled
Sleep well at night
God will keep you safe wherever you may be
