While I'm reading this blogspot entitled GOD-CENTERED, I am reminded of the importance of keeping God at the center of my life. It’s easy to get distracted in everyday responsibilities like going to school, and personal goals but I realize that without God as my foundation, everything else loses meaning. To ensure my life remains God-centered, I must make intentional changes.
One practical step is to begin and end each day with prayer and reading bible. By grounding myself in God’s Word and staying connected through prayer, I invite His presence into my daily life. I also need to be more mindful of my actions and decisions, asking myself if they reflect the values and teachings of Christ.

Reading about the God-centered life of the PASSian community is inspiring and helps us grow. In a world full of noise and self-focus, their way of living reminds us what truly matters—living for God and for others.
What touches me most is their motto: love of God, country, and others. It's not just wordsthey live it every day. It makes me stop and ask: Am I really putting God first? Am I using what He gave me to serve with purpose?
The PASSians show that faith is not about hiding. It’s about being present in the world with love, kindness, and hope. Their lives encourage us to do the same, live with purpose, love others, and share God’s light every day

While reading this gives me realized that God-centered people are not self-centered. God-centered people pay less attention to the applause of this world, because their motivation is the anticipation of hearing the words “Well done!” when this life is over (see Matthew 25:21, 23). Their focus is on becoming more like Jesus rather than acquiring fame and fortune for themselves. A. W. Tozer wrote that “the goal of every Christian should be to live in a state of unbroken worship,” and the God-centered (or Christ-centered) person finds this a delightful goal.
In order to avoid misapplication of texts, it is good to read whole biblical books and try to understand the text in light of both its immediate context and in light of the entire biblical book. Always ask what the text says about the character and nature of God.

God centered life means we need to love the lord God with all our heart. This love is a way to have a relationship with him. This relationship with God will keep us away from the evil influences of those around us.
God gift is a precious thing in every person. We have our own abilities that God can give us. We need to appreciate it and not use it in a bad way. Use our ability in God's Glory and share it with others. Let's stop using our abilities in arrogance, instead let's share them with others and encourage them to use them for God's glory.

GOD-CENTERED: PASSians Flourishing in a Community of Love, Service, and Stewardship
Ang pagmamahal sa Diyos ng buong puso, kaluluwa, at isipan ay nangangahulugan ng unconditional and unwavering devotion. It's more than just an intellectual understanding; it's a complete surrender of our being to His will. It's prioritizing Him in every aspect of our lives – from our thoughts and actions to our relationships. Mahalaga na ilagay natin Siya sa center ng ating buhay. Loving God overflows into how we treat others. Kapag minamahal natin ang Diyos, natural na ang pagmamahal sa kapwa. It manifests as compassion, empathy, forgiveness, and service. We treat others with respect and dignity, mirroring God's love for humanity. Living the God-centered life is a challenge na ngayon in contemporary society, with so many distractions. Rejecting worldly influences means being discerning about what we consume: media, music, relationships – and actively seeking God's wisdom through prayer and study to guide our decisions. Kailangan ang pagiging matatag sa pananampalataya.
Our talents and resources are not just ours to use as we please; they are blessings entrusted to us by God. As stewards, we have a responsibility to use them wisely, thoughtfully, and for the benefit of others, always seeking to honor God in our actions. Ito ay pagpapakita ng pagpapahalaga sa mga biyayang natatanggap natin. This understanding of grace fuels our mission to share God's love. Ang biyaya ng Diyos ay dapat maging inspirasyon upang mai-share natin 'to sa iba. It’s a call to action, to spread kindness, compassion, and the message of hope found in Christ. It is also important to be part of a faith-centered community because it gives us support and unity. It provides encouragement, accountability, and fellowship. We learn from each other and grow stronger together in our faith. We can encourage and strengthen one another in faith by being present, supportive, and prayerful for each other. We offer words of encouragement, acts of service, and consistently live out our faith. Kailangang ipakitang tunay nating pinapanghawakan ang ating pananampalataya.
With this devotion, I realized na kailangan kong maging mas aware sa aking mga ginagawa. I need to be more intentional in prioritizing God in my daily decisions—from how I spend my time to how I interact with others. This means mas madalas na panalangin and regular Bible study to stay connected with Him. Dapat ko ring suriin kung saan ako nagkukulang. Also, gagamitin ko ang aking mga talents abd capabilities para sa ikabubuti ng iba. I can use my skills and resources to serve others, whether through volunteering, donating, or simply offering help to those in need. This includes managing my finances responsibly and avoiding wasteful spending. Importante na maging responsible sa mga blessings na natatanggap ko. To encourage in my faith community, I can reach out to someone who might be struggling or feeling isolated. A simple phone call, a visit, or an encouraging message can make a big difference. Ang pagpapakita ng malasakit ay mahalaga para sa pagpapalakas ng ating samahan. Remember, this is a continuous process. Living a God-centered life is a journey, not a destination. Lagi tayong dapat nagsusumikap na lumapit sa Diyos.

REFLECTION: GOD-CENTERED: PASSians Flourishing in a Community of Love, Service, and Stewardship Introduction
(DEVOTIONAL WEEK 6)
Honestly, for me , living a God-centered life is super important lalo na ngayon sa world na sobrang chaotic and fast-paced. Like, ang daming distractions, ang daming noise, and minsan parang nakakalimutan mo na si Lord talaga yung core ng life mo. But when you really pause and think about it, loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind as in, fully changes everything. Hindi lang siya sa 'pag Sunday ka lang mabait or prayerful, it’s about how you treat people everyday, how you respond to problems, and how you live with purpose.
And to be honest , ang challenge talaga ngayon is 'di ka ma-sway ng mundo like yung toxic standards, fake happiness, or pressure to please everyone. That’s why Romans 12:2 hit me so hard. Kailangan talaga ng constant renewal ng mindset. Parang daily commitment siya na, ‘Okay God, ikaw ulit ang center today.’ Kasi if hindi, mapapagod ka talaga.
Tapos when it comes to stewardship, , this is something I’m learning din. Like, lahat ng skills, time, energy, and even yung pagiging madaldal ko or mahilig mag-organize is hindi lang siya for me, it’s meant to serve others too. And I realized, serving doesn’t have to be super big. Kahit small things like helping a friend na down, or volunteering sa church or school project, that’s already you being a good steward of God’s grace.
Also, the fact na we’re saved by grace? Parang, kung hindi dahil kay God, saan na tayo? Hindi siya about pagiging perfect or mabait lagi — it’s more on recognizing na kahit flawed ka, you’re still loved. And dahil doon, you want to share that love with others. Parang, ' If God is patient with me, dapat ganon din ako sa iba.’
Lastly, sobrang thankful ako na I’m part of a community like this. Kasi iba pa rin yung may support system ka na same ng goal to grow in faith. Because ang parang ganda sa pakiramdam na hindi ka mag-isa sa journey mo kay God. Like, kahit mahirap minsan, you know someone’s praying for you or cheering you on. Kaya I also want to be that kind of person to someone yung source of encouragement.

Living a life focused on God is really important, especially now when the world is full of distractions and pressure. It's not just about being good on Sundays but about loving God fully every day—through how you treat people, face problems, and live with purpose.
One big challenge today is not getting carried away by the world’s toxic standards or trying to please everyone. That’s why Romans 12:2 is powerful—it reminds us to renew our minds daily and put God at the center again and again.
You’re also learning about stewardship—using your time, energy, and talents not just for yourself but to help others. Even small acts like helping a friend or volunteering already show good stewardship.
Knowing we’re saved by grace reminds you that even if we’re not perfect, we’re still loved by God. And because of that love, you also want to be more patient and kind to others.
Lastly, you’re really thankful for being part of a faith community. It’s comforting to have people who share the same goal and support each other in their walk with God. You also want to be someone who encourages and lifts others up.

The essence of the Christian life—love—is encapsulated in this text. Jesus condenses the entire law and the prophecies into two mandates that are intricately related. First and foremost, we are to love God with all of our hearts, souls, and minds. This is a complete submission to God's plan and presence, not a casual or ambivalent love. It entails prioritizing Him, seeking Him out every day, and lining up our desires with His truth.

To ensure my life remains God-centered, I can start by making time each day to pray and read the Bible, even if it’s just for a few minutes. I need to remember to put God first in all my decisions and trust Him more when challenges come. It’s also important to surround myself with friends who encourage me to grow spiritually. I can avoid things that distract me from my faith, like too much time on social media or negative influences. By focusing on God’s will, I can stay grounded and live in a way that pleases Him.
To be a better steward of God’s gifts, I will use my talents and time to help others and serve my community. I will take care of the resources God has given me, like my health and school materials, and avoid wasting them. I want to encourage my classmates and friends to grow in faith by sharing positive words and praying for them. This week, I plan to encourage a friend who has been going through a hard time by listening to them and reminding them of God’s love. Being kind and supportive shows that I care about others and helps build up my faith community.

WEEK 6: CORE VALUES: GOD-CENTERED
- Para sa akin, upang masiguro kong ang Diyos ang sentro ng aking pamumuhay. Una ay sasanayin ko ang aking sarili na magkaroon ng mas mahabang oras sa pakikipag-usap sa Panginoon. Sisimulan ko ang aking panibagong umaga sa pamamagitan ng panalangin at tatapusin ang araw ng may pagpapasalamat sa kanya sa buong maghapong paggabay at pag-iingat. Pangalawa, maglalaan ng oras para sa debosyon tulad ng pagbabasa ng Bibliya at pagsasabuhay ng kanyang mga salita. At higit sa lahat, papanatilihin ko ang aking wagas na pananampalataya at pagtitiwala sa Diyos.
- For me to be a better steward of God ay unang-una ipagpapasalamat ko ang buhay na kaniyang ipinagkaloob sa akin. At tutuklasin ko sa aking sarili ang mga talento kung sakali mang mayroong ipinagkaloob sa akin ang Diyos. Huwag nating tanungin o hanapin sa kaniya kung ano ang mayroon sa ating kapwa na hindi natin mahanap sa ating sarili. Bagkus ay pagyabongin natin ang mga talentong mayroon tayo sa ating mga sarili at gamitin natin ang ating buhay ng makabuluhan lalong-lalo na ang pakikilahok sa mga Church activities. In this way, we can say that God gifted us life for a meaningful purpose.
- Upang maging makabuluhan ang pananampalataya ko sa Diyos, maaari akong manghikayat ng aking kapwa katulad na lamang halimbawa ng isang kaibigan na may pinagdadaanan sa buhay. I can help her/him by encouraging to pray together and by giving life advices na maaaring makapag-pagaan ng kaniyang loob. We will comfort them at sasabihin natin ang problema ay parte na ng ating buhay. Gaano man kabigat ang pinagdadaanan sa buhay as long as matatag ka at malaki ang tiwala mo sa Diyos, everything will be alright in God's perfect timing.

One of the biggest changes I can make is to be more intentional with my time. It’s so easy to get caught up in deadlines, social media, or just the busyness of student life. I think setting aside time each day, for prayer, reading Scripture, or just being still in God’s presence can help me refocus. Also, surrounding myself with people who encourage me in my faith through small groups or fellowship keeps me grounded and reminds me of what really matters.

Lately, I’ve been really reflecting on how important it is for me to live a God-centered life, especially now when everything feels so chaotic and fast-paced. There are so many distractions and noise around that sometimes I catch myself forgetting that God should be at the very core of everything I do. But when I pause and truly think about loving God with all my heart, soul, and mind, it changes my whole perspective. It’s not just about being kind or prayerful on Sundays—it’s about how I treat people every day, how I respond to challenges, and how I live with intention and purpose.
I have to admit, one of the biggest challenges for me is not getting swept away by the world’s pressures—the toxic standards, the fake happiness people put on, or the constant need to please everyone. Romans 12:2 really speaks to me because it reminds me that I need to keep renewing my mind daily, to keep choosing to make God the center of my life again and again. Otherwise, I feel like I’ll just get worn out.
I’m also learning more about stewardship—how everything I have, from my skills to my time and energy, isn’t just for me but is meant to be used to serve others. And I’m realizing that serving doesn’t have to be something grand. Even small acts, like being there for a friend who’s struggling or volunteering for a church or school project, are ways I can be a good steward of God’s grace.
What touches me the most is knowing that we’re saved by grace. Honestly, without God’s love and patience, I don’t know where I’d be. It’s not about being perfect or always doing the right thing, but about accepting that even with my flaws, I am deeply loved. And because of that, I want to extend that same love and patience to others. If God is patient with me, I want to be patient with those around me too.
Finally, I feel so thankful to be part of a community that shares this same goal of growing in faith. There’s something so comforting about knowing I’m not alone on this journey—that even when things get tough, there are people praying for me and cheering me on. And I want to be that kind of person for someone else—a source of encouragement and support.

Being a God centered in life will make your life easy to handle. Life has been hard to handle that’s full of temptations and challenges though will make us easy to fall apart because of those things in our lives. But if we choose to surrender ourselves to Him as to seek His guidance in every aspects of life, we’ll be ensured to keep our life steady and not lost through the directions. Staying with Him means choosing Him always. We can be a better child of Him, not by being a perfect child but to trust and obey Him in every single decision we’ll make. We glorify Him by showing our love to Him through our thoughts, words and actions that will make to encourage everyone to be a God centered in their lives too.

Being part of a faith-centered community isn't just about attending a gathering; it’s about having a spiritual home where my soul can breathe. I’ve realized that I cannot carry the weight of life alone, and I shouldn't have to.
To keep my life God-centered, I want to shift my focus from "success" to stewardship, recognizing that my talents aren't trophies for my own pride, but tools to help someone else.

For me, in order to keep my life God-centered, I need to be more intentional about it. Sometimes i get too wrapped up in school, social media, or my own thoughts. I think i need to take a step back and think about whether or not what i am doing is pleasing to God. I also need to work on being more thankful and less complaining, especially when things don’t go my way. I think by changing my attitude, my life will become more God-centered.
In order to be a better steward of God’s gifts, I need to stop comparing myself to others and be thankful for what God has given me. I may not be the best at everything, but i know i have talents. Instead of hiding them, I need to develop them and use them to serve others. I also need to be faithful with what God has given me, such as education and family.
This week, I can support a friend who seems distant or quiet lately. I can check in on them, listen to their concerns, and remind them that they are not alone. Even small acts of kindness and compassion can demonstrate God’s love to others.

This topic reminds me that a God centered life starts with loving God above everything else. When God is first in my life, my decisions, actions, and goals become clearer. I learn to trust Him more instead of depending only on myself.
Being part of a faith community is also important. We help each other grow, pray for one another, and encourage each other to do good. God gave each of us different gifts, and we should use them to serve others.
Living a God-centered life is not always easy, but with God’s grace and the support of our community, we can continue to grow and flourish together.

Keeping my life focused on God requires daily effort and honest self-checking. I can begin by giving Him the first part of my day, even with a short prayer, and by thinking about Him before making important choices. I also need to lessen the time I spend on things that pull my attention too far away from my faith. By slowing down and inviting God into my plans, I can stay more aware of His presence in my life.
Being a good steward of God’s gifts means using what I have in ways that honor Him. My time, talents, strength, and resources are all blessings that should not be wasted. I can improve by doing my responsibilities well, helping others when I am able, and staying grateful for what God has entrusted to me. Even simple acts of service can show that I value the gifts He has given.
During this week, I want to be more mindful of the people around me who may need support. There may be someone in my church, school, or circle of friends who feels discouraged or unnoticed. I can encourage them through a kind word, a message, or by praying for them. Reaching out in small but sincere ways can strengthen not only their faith but mine as well.

Ang pagiging God-centered ay isang intentional na desisyon araw-araw na nagsisimula sa pagmamahal sa Kanya nang buo, na siyang nagiging pundasyon ng pagmamahal natin sa kapwa. Sa gitna ng mga distractions ngayon, mahalaga ang pagre-renew ng mind sa pamamagitan ng prayer at Bible study para manatiling tapat.
Bilang mga stewards, dapat nating gamitin ang ating oras at talento para sa Kanyang kapurihan at paglilingkod sa iba. Higit sa lahat, mas tumitibay ang ating pananampalataya kapag may community tayong kasama at nag-e-encourage sa ating spiritual journey.

Maaari akong maglaan ng mas regular na oras para sa panalangin at pagbabasa ng Biblia, bawasan ang mga bagay na naglalayo sa akin sa Diyos, at siguraduhing ang aking mga desisyon ay nakaayon sa Kanyang kalooban kaysa sa impluwensya ng mundo.
Magagamit ko nang tama ang aking oras, talento, at mga biyaya sa paglilingkod sa iba at sa pagpapalaganap ng kabutihan. Hindi ko sasayangin ang mga ito, kundi palalaguin para sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos.
Maaari kong hikayatin ang isang kaibigan, kaklase, katrabaho, o kapamilya na maaaring nanghihina ang pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng pag-anyaya sa pagsamba, pagbabahagi ng Salita ng Diyos, o simpleng pakikinig at pagdarasal para sa kanila.

ReplyDeleteThis Bible Study Guide reminded me that living a God-centered life is not just about attending church or praying when we need something, but truly loving God with all my heart, soul, and mind. Matthew 22:37-39 teaches me that when I genuinely love God, it will naturally reflect in how I treat others—with kindness, patience, and understanding.
In today’s world full of distractions and temptations, it is challenging to stay focused on God. Romans 12:2 reminds me that I should not follow worldly standards but instead allow God to transform my mind daily through prayer, reading His Word, and making wise decisions. As a student, this means choosing honesty over cheating, humility over pride, and faith over fear.
I also learned that stewardship is a big responsibility. The talents, time, and opportunities I have are blessings from God. I can serve Him by helping my classmates, respecting my teachers, and doing my best in my studies. Small actions done with love can glorify God.
Most importantly, God’s grace is the foundation of everything. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds me that I am saved not because of my works, but because of God’s grace. This encourages me to stay humble and grateful.
Being part of a faith-centered community like PASS helps me grow spiritually because we encourage one another to do good and remain strong in faith. I will strive to be more prayerful, responsible, and loving so that my life will truly reflect a God-centered PASSian.
