Hari ng Pick-Up... Siya nga!

Pick up lines? Talaga naman! Usong uso pa din ngayon kahit matagal nang nauso!

Parang eto,

"Miss, kapuso ka ba?" (Bakit?)

"Sabi kasi ng nanay ko, gusto ka raw niyang maging kapamilya!"

Eto pa isa,

"Huwag kang masyadong malikot ha?" (Bakit?)

"Baka kasi matabig mo 'yung puso ko... mahulog sa'yo."

Dalawa lang 'yan sa marami pang cheesy/corny/banat pick up lines na napauso sa panahon natin ngayon.

At ngayon nga, Ogie Alcasid a.k.a. Boy Pick Up is so sikat and trending nowadays, right? Those nonsense lines that really catch the attention of the public. Walang konek pero bentang benta ano! Tama? :) Pero actually, wala naman siyang kinalaman sa post na 'to. Hihi.

Gusto ko lang malaman mo na.. pambihira! Hindi pa pala siya ang hari ng pick up!

Oo hindi siya!

May idea ka ba kung sino??

Well, none other than our Lord Jesus Christ. :D

Siguro nagtataka ka, talaga? Weh? Pa'no?

I arrived late at work today because I've been in a conference -- "Luzon G12 Regional Conference: Paint The Town Red". The first day was BOOM!!! And I just wanna share this thing about pick up line that one of the pastors there had shared.

Since uso nga ang pick-up-an, he told us that, don't we know that there is someone na mas magaling pa magpick up line kesa kay Boy Pick Up? At siya nga ay si Jesus. :)

Eto yung pinakamatindeng pick up. Pwede mong sabihing cheesy pick up line or banat, but for me, it's a LIFE CHANGING pick up line!

I just don't know, but men, if you know and love Jesus, I don't know how will you feel. :)


Jesus: "Miss, uhaw ka ba?"

Woman: "Bakit...?"

Jesus: (with the most gentle........ soothing......... relaxing........ heavenly........... voice that you could ever hear) "Kasi... TUBIG Ako.." :)

Wow! Boom!!! Goosebumps!! Knowing that these modernly translated words ay hindi inimbento ni Pastor Carlo Panlilio, kundi galing mismo sa Bible!

John 4, when Jesus talks to a woman in Samaria..

Why don't you guys check this out and see?? ..how Jesus talked to the Samaritan woman and how she responded to Jesus. C'mon take time!

Jesus Talks to a Woman in Samaria [John 4:5-19]

In Samaria Jesus came to the town called Sychar, which is near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his long trip, so he sat down beside the well. It was about noon. A Samaritan woman came to the well to get some water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” This happened while his followers were in town buying some food.

The woman answered, “I am surprised that you ask me for a drink! You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman!” (Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)

Jesus answered, “You don’t know what God can give you. And you don’t know who I am, the one who asked you for a drink. If you knew, you would have asked me, and I would have given you living water.”

The woman said, “Sir, where will you get that living water? The well is very deep, and you have nothing to get water with. Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob? He is the one who gave us this well. He drank from it himself, and his sons and all his animals drank from it too.”

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But anyone who drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give people will be like a spring flowing inside them. It will bring them eternal life.”

The woman said to Jesus, “Sir, give me this water. Then I will never be thirsty again and won’t have to come back here to get more water.”

Jesus told her, “Go get your husband and come back.”

The woman answered, “But I have no husband.”

Jesus said to her, “You are right to say you have no husband. That’s because, although you have had five husbands, the man you live with now is not your husband. That much was the truth.”

The woman said, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet."

And I want to share to you this short video.. that Pastor Carlo shared in the conference.. with the song "How did you know?" I know that this speaks for all of us...

And you'll see yourself in that woman, that at one point in your life, you were also THIRSTY, searching for something that can ease your thirst.. for a desperate need-- love, affection, and anything... and unexpectedly, someone came.... at the right place, at the right time... JESUS, the living water!
