The Unseen Foe

The Dream Begins Last night, I found myself caught in a dream that felt more like a waking nightmare. It started innocently enough; I was going about my day, moving from place to place—buses, boats, and various accommodations. But there was one constant presence that began to gnaw at my peace: a child, no older than ten, shadowing my every step. At first, I brushed it off as a figment of my imagination, a mere curiosity rather than a cause for concern.

  As a pastor, I often find myself navigating the complexities of human relationships, especially in our Filipino culture, where confrontation is not commonly embraced. Recently, my wife shared an overwhelming piece of advice with me: "Keep your hands away from their messy remarks." This simple statement struck a chord within me, especially after learning that there are people talking behind my back. The Natural Reaction to Negativity Our natural tendency is to react when we feel attacked or criticized. However, I have come to realize that engaging with negativity only perpetuates a cycle of conflict and distress. Instead of allowing the words of others to dictate my emotions and actions, I am reminded of the wisdom found in Scripture. Guarding Our Hearts Guarding our hearts is essential for our emotional and spiritual well-being. It reminds us to be mindful of what we allow into our lives, as our thoughts and feelings shape our actions and attitudes. By protec...
