Today I bow before God, remembering my Japanese brothers and sisters as well as my fellow Filipinos in Japan who suffered from the 8.9 magnitude quake, tsunami friday last week and radiation meltdown respectively. Its too much to bear but I know God is in control of everything and I believe Japan can recover immediately. I feel their anguish and my heart is crying. But I admire the virtue that they possess in the midst of turmoil. The more I respect the Japanese and Koreans for their characters and discipline. I just wish we Filipinos also have the same attitude. One must start from within, pagsamasamahin, we can make a difference too. God save the Earth.

God never said that we wouldn't have difficulties, but He did promise we could have peace in the midst of the storms.
When you are at peace, you are displaying your faith in God. By your actions, you are saying, "God you are bigger than this problem."
So keep peace in the midst of your storm today. -Joel Osteen
