Big Brother’s words of advice

“91 days inside my house is not enough for you to completely change. Hindi dapat minamadali ang lahat ng bagay. Hindi dapat nira-rush. Hindi dapat fina-fastforward. Wag magpadala sa bugso ng damdamin… Sa impluwensiya ng TV, movies, at internet… O peer pressure. Hindi lahat ng bagay ay puwedeng balikan. Hindi pwedeng i-undo. Lalong-lalo na ang panahon.”
— Big Brother’s words of advice

When I say..."I am a Christian"

When I say..."I am a Christian" 
I'm not shouting, "I am saved"
I'm whispering, "I was lost"
That is why I chose this way.

When I say..."I am a Christian" 
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.

When I say..."I am a Christian" 
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian" 
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian" 
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are all too visible,
But God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian" 
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
