God Says Your Future Is Beautiful
One day, Josh graduated from the Ateneo. He had many dreams and was excited about his future.
After the graduation ceremonies, he rode a cab.
The taxi driver greeted the young man, “How are you today?”
“I feel wonderful,” the new graduate said, extending his hand, “I’m Josh, Ateneo, batch 2010.”
“Congratulations!” the cab driver said, “I’m Carlos, Ateneo, batch 1976.”
(Note: This is a joke. I graduated from the Ateneo!)
Today, God Wants To Give You Hope
God wants to give you hope.
How? He’ll do it by giving you a peek into your future.
He’ll give you a glimpse of what’s coming next.
My message for you today is very simple: The last chapter of your life has been written, and it has a happy ending.
Obviously, you have to choose this happy ending.
It won’t happen if you don’t choose it.
But my point is that it’s available.
You can have a happy future.
Yes, you may be going through rough times now. Perhaps there’s a mountain of bills that you have to pay. Or the doctor’s report may not be good. Or there’s a conflict in your family. Or you may not be happy with your job.
Whatever it is, believe that you can have that happy future.
The Last Chapter Of Your Life Has Been Written,
And It Has A Happy Ending
Take the case of my friend Pablo.
Pablo has a problem: His girlfriend dumped him.
His friends told him, “Pablo, that’s just a small problem.”
But Pablo is collapsing under its crushing weight.
He feels that life is hopeless and wants to die.
To hide his identity, I won’t show you his photo.
Instead, I’ll just draw a caricature of Pablo…
As a kid, I used to draw a lot. 10% of my notebooks were class notes, and 90% were drawings. (To mothers: When your little boys fill their notebooks with drawings, don’t stop them. They may become preachers one day!)
But one day, someone invited Pablo to the Feast. (That’s what we call our weekly prayer gathering because it’s feels like a party. If you want to join us, click here or email feastsecretariat@yahoo.com.) And he was hooked. He never left.
Each week, he heard God’s Word.
After 6 months, Pablo’s life has totally changed.
But ironically, he now has more problems!
First, he still doesn’t have a girlfriend.
Second, the company he’s working for is in bad shape and may close down soon.
Third, his parents are fighting over money again.
Fourth, his pimples are acting up.
But here’s a caricature of Pablo after 6 months…
Pablo has more problems today.
Yet he’s smiling!
How come?
He’s got more problems now.
He should be crying more.
But he’s not.
Here’s the reason…
There’s only one difference between the two drawings: In the past months, Pablo has grown in Hope.
He knows that his problems are temporary. He knows that his future is brighter than his past. He knows that in the end, he will win the victory.
Happiness Has Nothing To Do
With The Absence Of Problems
Do you want to be happy?
Being happy doesn’t have anything to do with the size of your problems. Being happy has everything to do with the size of your hope. And that’s what you receive from God.
Friend, are you like Pablo?
Are you burdened with a long list of problems?
Having many problems isn’t the problem.
Losing your hope is the problem.
Don’t give up.
Don’t lose hope.
Because when you lose hope, you lose life.
Pablo is smiling because he has hope.
He knows something He didn’t know before: That God finishes what he starts.
Listen to God in your heart. He is speaking to your heart and saying, “The last chapter of your life has been written, it has a happy ending.”
The Power Of Hope To Bless Your Life
Hope is underrated.
The Bible says that between faith, hope, and love, love is the most important thing in the world. And I agree.
And faith? It’s essential to salvation.
So where does hope come in? A nice third class bonus.
They also say that in Heaven, you don’t need hope anymore.
But that’s precisely the point: We’re not yet in Heaven. (Just to check, pinch yourself. If you experience pain, you’re not yet there.)
On planet earth, hope is crucial for survival.
In fact, it’s crucial for any kind of success.
Do You Have More Problems
When You Grow Closer To God?
One day, Pablo asked me, “Bo, why is it that when I grew closer to God, I now have more problems. Is this a test from God? Or is this harassment from the devil?”
I told him, “Neither. I believe you’re experiencing a normal life. Because problems are a part of life. I believe you’ll have problems whether you’re near to God or far from God. Your choice is this: Will you go carry your problems with hope or will you carry your problems without hope?”
Pablo almost shouted, “With hope!”
And that’s what happens when people join the Feast every week. They go home from the Feast with overflowing hope in their hearts. In other words, they receive a “Taboric” experience…
Jesus Lifted The Curtain
Between Heaven And Earth
One day, Jesus brought Peter, James, and John to Mount Tabor. When they reached the top, a powerful transfiguration happened.
They saw Jesus shining with brilliant light.
And beside him were Moses and Elijah, also glowing.
It was so powerful, Peter said, “Jesus! Let’s build 3 tents. One for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
He didn’t know what he was saying.
The vision was so mind-boggling, he was speaking gibberish.
Because on Mt. Tabor, Jesus lifted up the curtain that divided heaven and earth.
Here’s my question: Why did Jesus do that?
To show off? Not likely.
He did this to give them hope.
Jesus knew that after they go down from Mount Tabor, life would be tough. His disciples will see Jesus bloodied up. Beaten with whips. Slaughtered as a criminal. They’ll see him die on the cross.
So in Mount Tabor, Jesus gave them a peek of the future.
He gave them a glimpse of the last chapter.
He was telling them, “The last chapter of your life is written, and it has a happy ending.”
You Need Taboric Experiences In Your Life
I feel each Feast is a Taboric experience.
In our weekly Feast, people meet God. They hear God’s Word. They go home with great hope in their hearts.
Because in the Feast, people get a taste of their future.
Below is a photo of a regular telescope.
Do you know that Hope is also a telescope?
It is. But it’s a very special one.
Instead of looking through space, it looks through time.
Hope is a “time” telescope.
It sees the future.
Hope whispers to your heart, “Your future is beautiful. You will win. You will overcome.”
“You’ll Never Be A Speaker”
I will never forget this one difficult moment in my life.
I was fourteen years old, already giving talks here and there in different prayer groups.
One day, I was invited to speak in a seminar.
There were less than 20 people in the audience.
But when I stood in front of them, I didn’t know why, but I felt so self-conscious. I felt nervous and began to sweat. And my talk bombed.
After I spoke for less than 20 minutes, I sat down. I felt so ashamed at what I did.
It didn’t help when the organizer stood up and said, “What Bo was trying to say was this…” He then proceeded to give my talk all over again.
After the seminar, he came up to me and said, “Bo, I think you shouldn’t be speaking in seminars like these.”
Ouch.
In my mind, I heard a voice say, “I knew it. Who am I fooling? I’ll never be a speaker.”
That day, I basically gave up on myself. I was thinking of just refusing the invitations I was receiving.
But when I went back to my little prayer group, my prayer group leader, Aida Manongdo, never gave up on me. Perhaps she sensed I was feeling down. She called me aside and said, “Bo, I have something to tell you.”
She said, “Bo, God spoke to me again. He said you really have an anointing. One day, you’ll be preaching in many countries all over the world.”
What was she doing? She was giving me hope.
She was saying, “God will finish what He has started. The last chapter of your life has been written, and it has a happy ending.”
Today, those words have come true.
For 31 years now, I’ve been preaching in over 20 countries.
When you’re feeling down and about to give up, I now realize that God will send an Aida to you who will give you hope.
I’m that Aida to you now.
God has sent me to tell you that your future is brighter than your past. You may be in a Good Friday right now but I’m telling you that your Easter Sunday is coming. You will have a happy ending. You will have a glorious future.
What Kind Of Person Are You?
Let me end with one last word.
There are two kinds of people in the world: People who give hope and people who take away hope.
What kind of person are you?
When you relate with your kids, do you give hope? Are you like Jesus who lifts the “curtain” between his present and bright future? Do you tell your child, “The last chapter of your life has been written, and has a happy ending.”
Today, I want you to receive hope.
And be like Jesus.
Give hope.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

Good morning Bo,
Thank you for lifting up my spirit and of course inspiring us
every time we’re going to read your articles. It started my day
with a smile in my face and heart-filled with HOPE (again).
Have a good day everyone.
God Bless Us All.
thanks bo, you’re an inspiration. and we continue to receive mountains of blessings because you opened our eyes.
dear bro bo,
i am in to a relationship that brings me my greatest joy and my worst nightmare. thinking of ending it is killing me but i am threatened everyday with the thought of losing it. My partner seemed unsure whether she wants to stick it out with me or she would rather be back to her past relationship. please pray that I may find my aida in flesh soon..thank you
Thanks a lot Bro. Bo, I feel like I’m having a full breakfast after reading your articles. (Where in fact I haven’t had my breakfast.) But as what I am feeling right now, I am full (spiritually). Thank you,thank you, thank you! God bless us all!
Hi Bro Bo!
I have to admit that there are days that I just browse through your articles, but this is one particular day that I read through it and am absorbing it because I am in this particular situation of losing hope, but lo and behold, You are Aida for me… I always tell myself I don’t know what the future holds for me, after daily giving up on someone I love so much and who can’t love me in the way that I thought he could and I don’t know if I am doing the right thing, but I do know that something good will happen because I put my trust in God, I shall look through the telescope of hope.
Dear Bo,
I truly believe you that GOD has sent you to tell me that my future is brighter than my past.
Every time, after reading your article I always feel blessed in spirit. Thank you very much.
God bless us all always
thank you…
hi Bro Bo,
Thank you for inspiring me with this article. Indeed if we live our lives for Christ we need not have a fortune teller to tell us what the future holds, because we have an assurance that no matter what we are going through at this moment, God has already written a wonderful future for us. Thank you for reminding me about this, sometimes i thought my problems were far bigger than me that i felt like that was the end of the story of my life, but then you are right if we grow with the faith and hope that God has already written the best ending for us, then our problems will mean nothing. May the Good Lord bless you more so you can continue to be a blessing to others.
dear bro. Bo
thank you for being an Aida to me, evryday you always reminding me of not losing hope.. The words of God always inspired me… I Hope and Believe that my future is beautiful… Bro Bo please include me, family and my love one in your prayer…..Thank you…

thanks bo! another great blog from you. you nailed it again. thanks for inspiring us.
Bro. Bo.
You know what im feeling bofore i read this and after i read this inspirational message. Before: I feel down and no more chance to become good in everything. What inside me now is I feel nothing. No hope na sabi ko nga.. But After I read your inspirational message . I feel great. I feel good… I have a chance pa pala to survive eventhough I have so many problems right now..
Depress na depress ako bro Bo.. Dumating nga sa punto na hindi ko na alam gagawin ko sa buhay ko.. But after I read your inspirational message’ I feel great. I still have a chance to fix everything in my life especially my family. I have to move forward. God knows everything about me.
thank you bro. Bo… this is a beautiful story… GOD has shown me the LIGHTS!!
Dear Big Bro Bo,
Thank you so much for being an angel to me at this very moment when I am preoccupied with so many things, things that made me doubt again of my vocation as a Religious. Thanks for lifting my spirit and being instrumental in renewing my faith, hope and love of God.
May you touch more lives…God bless you always.
Dear Bo
Thanks for a wonderful message,a inspiring one and lastly a guide for me in a daily life.
This is what I need now. I’m feeling so down due to my current problems and my uncertain future. Thank you Bo for giving me hope. I will continue believing and hoping that one day I will be truly happy!
Hi Bo. Know what? This is exactly the kind of message that I need now. Ever since I graduated I have been so worried about my career - on what path I would take - everything! I have my work but I’m not happy with it from the start. I really have certain personal issues that I’m trying to overcome every day, such as frustration. I always ask God “when?” - when I will have the right job for me, etc. It seems like I can’t wait any longer. But with I just have read, I’m now more convinced that God indeed has super great plans for me and all that I have to do is just wait, be patient and have faith.
Thank you for this eye-opening article. Hope you’ll continue inspiring more people like me whose faith is being tested all the time.

Hi!!
Thanks! Bro Bo… This is really an inspiration. “As for God, He is perfect.” If He is perfect, he knows all the things that will happen to us. It maybe good or bad in our own point of view. But in the end, Happy Ending awaits us. All we need is to trust God and to put Him first in our lives. Just like giving hope.
God bless!! More Power!!
Bo, thanks for being an Aida to many of us. Thank you for reminding me to be more hopeful especially in this of crisis my family are in right now. You see Bo, my husband lost his job 2 months ago and his backpay & separation pay the company owes him are being paid on installment (its because they were always late in giving salary 7 months prior that’s why our finances screwed up) at the same time my small business, for the first time in 9 yrs, has 0 orders right now…what a very good timing ‘no?! bills are piling up and we don’t have anything to pay…i’m on the verge of losing my mind & hope as to how we will go through this. I always tell myself for the past months that God is good and He will never forsake us…that only faith could save us. I am hopeful…thanks for your message today…I know that God has talked to me again today and that our lives will have a happy ending. God bless you.
Bro. Bo,
I would love to share this with my childen to give them hope coming from God. You have been wonderfully used of God again today.
May God continue to inspire you.
Thanks for the inspiration .
Being blessed by God’s word is the best way to start the day! More power to you and your staff Bo!
I don’t know why but it seems your posts almost always correspond to what I’m undergoing on a particular time period. Thanks for this piece on hope. It really comes at a time when I needed it most. God bless you Brother Bo so you may continue giving hope to people like me.
Inspired by your article on a time of being down i can only affirm that God is confirming my HOPE that he will finish what he has started. That scripture passage keeps coming back as mentioned in your article. Yesterday my friend just gave me that phrase for meditation now your are saying it to me - God is affirming His promise that He will finish what he started. I am more hopeful now that the end is going to be a happy ending. Thanks Bo!
Sa dami ng beses kong nadapa, thank you for this very inspiring and timely reminder to get back on my feet and never lose hope. Hindi maganda gising ko kanina so I tried to pray, waiting for God to answer but didn’t get any. Then I read your article. Narinig naman pala Niya
Salamat ng marami Bo.
Bro. Bo,
I’m presently swimming in an ocean of bils and other problems to overcome but because of your inspiring articles like this, I got myself full of hopes and have seen my future brighter than today. Definitely, I will share this to my wife and kids
More Power to you and the rest of your staff.
You know Bo,yesterday i was troubled about making the right decision and some people were confused if i will continue being a pcos technician or back-up because of lack of money for the transportation, until this morning i came up with the decision to continue but i was still troubled about many instances like what if my location is not safe…and your post gave me hope really and it helps me to continue whatever problems i may face there…thanks a lot Bo
You’re indeed a blessing to us Bro. Bo especially for giving us HOPE. Don’t know how to thank you for these inspirational blogs you unselfishly and untiringly share to us. Thank you God, thanks Bro. Bo!!!
the words for the day: “The last chapter of your life has been written, it has a happy ending.”
God bless you and your family!!!

Dear Bo:
Thank you for that wonderful message. It really lifted up my spirit and given me hope for a brighter tomorrow.
I was so tensed this past weeks because I got a rumor from my colleagues that my contract will not be renewed anymore. I talked to God that since He gave me this job so whatever the decision of the company I lift it to HIm. I just need His grace to accept the things I cannot change and be humble to accept my limitations.
It is nice that there are Aidas in this world made an instrument by God to relay His message of hope and love.
Thank you so much.
I must admit that in the past I have not taken your article seriously. Every time I open my email, which is very seldom since Internet connection is not so accessible in our workplace, I read it and dismiss it but dont delete but just the same it doesn’t have that impact the way it does today.
Yesterday, I was in Simala, Sibonga, Cebu, where the Miraculous image of the Blessed Mother is being visited by pilgrims from the different parts of the country, and petitioned thru the Blessed Virgin Mother for her intercession for the sustainability of my job and for the enlightenment of the management to see and accept the truth of our workplace scenario and make the necessary changes to improve the operation of the institution. Though I have a strong faith in God but I cannot help it but be disturbed, so when I opened my email today, this is what caught my attention: GOD SAYS YOUR FUTURE IS BEAUTIFUL. It lifted my spirit. Just imagine I had been praying so hard and just the following day a message will come out as if God is there waiting for you to talk to Him.
So I thank the Lord for that life-giving message and making you as His instrument to touch people lives.
I will continue praying that God will continue to shower you with all the blessings that you need to continue your program touching people’s lives.
A blessed Sunday to you nd your loved ones and also your ministry.
Sincerely,
Zent
I miss you brother. Thanks for this wonderful article. Keep inspiring the world.
Bro Bo.. You fill my spirit that HOPE is always there.. how big is our problems.. i know it will come to an end.. after the rain.. outpouring blessings will come.. from HIM.. God bless us all..
salamat ng marami!!!! God Bless!!!
meyo de jesus

THANK YOU Bro. Bo!
God Bless!
Thank you brother Bo for another inspiring article. I’ve had so much on my mind and hope is really what i needed. You brought that to me and to many others with your article. Have a blessed day!
Hello Bo,
I have been in the UAE for 5 years now. 2years ago a financial super storm came into my life. I got into so much debt.. that I felt and everybody else around me was a hopeless case. You know in the UAE they jail people for bouncing cheques. But praise God! I will be able to finish 2 of my major loans this year. But you know what, after all the blessings and miracles that had happened in my life.. I still feel unsure about my future. Not that I doubt God’s provision but I doubt myself that after this storm had passed i wont do the same mistakes that I did before. It is good to be reminded, that God is in control and that He has planned my future. I don’t want to control my life, because If I trust myself only.. i am doomed to fail again. I want him to be in full control of me. I praise God for your wisdom Bo! May God bless you more so you can expand your territory more and touch more lives and bring glory to His name through Christ Jesus. Pls. pray for me. I pray that I will find my own path as you did yours. God bless! S
Thank you bro bo for your great inspiring words. Indeed God spirit is at work in you. Thanks for being His instruments of hope, peace, truth, life and love to others. Strain forward in your mission.
THANK YOU BROTHER BO,,, YOU ENLIGHTEN ME THIS MESSAGES… I SUPPOSED TO GIVE UP AND LOSING HOPE BUT WHEN I READ YOUR TOPIC.. IM CONFIDENT NOW THAT GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE HAS STARTED FOR ME…

MORE POWER AND GOD BLESS U AND YOUR FAMILY…

thank you so much
God bless!
-grace
p.s just like with others…i do hope someone like aida comes along my way
Hi Bo,
You’re not only a gifted speaker & writer, but also an excellent cartoonist. Thanks so much for reminding me not to give up on Hope. I was feeling down ‘coz my expected promotion that I’ve been waiting for, for years now hasn’t come out yet. Hopefully, I will hear the good news SOON!!!
Dear Bro Bo,
true enough! God is my only hope…thank you very much for inspiring not only me but all of us who are losing hope…i backslide everytime i’m confronted with problems…thank you for telling me that my life will have a happy ending…because that’s i what i wish for…always…
Dear Bo,
I am grateful to God for sending you to me. Ever since I discovered Kerygmafamily.com, I’ve been blessed by your inspirational writings. So many times I’ve almost given up hope, lost some faith, thought love was never going to be a part of my life…but always, something comes up to change my course back to the right way. I know in my heart God is with us and,as my Creator, wants me to be at peace and happy, but in the middle of challenges I sometimes forget and fall…because of people like you, through whom God speaks if I’m not hearing Him directly, I’m always lifted back on my feet again. You have arrived at the right time. You are, indeed, my Aida.
Thank you so much.
thanks Bo… you are God sent to me…
thanks Bro. Bo..like Pablo i have hope in my heart…i have mountains of problems but i never give up….
thank you for fortifying my hope in everything…..
God is good all the time….
Thank you kuya Bo for sharing God’s hope with us. This reminds me of my favorite verse in the Scriptures:
“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a future full of hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
Thank you po and God bless you more! May the spirit of hope be the light of the world.
I like this article, it’s true,without hope,we’re dead. I’ve experienced it,it’s only hope that will sustain us when everything is or seems to be “dead”.
Dear Bro. Bo,
Thank you!! for your messages it delighted me and i am so blessed for recieving this kind of soul food. God Bless us More!!!
thank you Bo..
tnx. bro,Bo for the inspirational word u always share, true enough, where would we be if we dont have hope. Hope is the one who gives us strength to survive in our everyday life. Keep up the good work. God bless us.
Hello! Bro. Bo,
Thank you for giving us unending inspiration. It inspire me to move on in my journey. Thank you very much!
Hi Bo,
Thanks again for the blog. I was only thinking, since you are also a gifted cartoonist maybe you can also create and publish comic books depicting your lessons and advice in life targetting schoolchildren and teenagers as your readers. It’s just a thought, but it would be wonderful if you could do this.
Marissa
i believe that God has a better plan for me and i am ready to receive those blessings. Happy married life, financial blessings, good family and a very special blessings shared to those who are in need.
thank you Bo for the enlightenment.
Bo,
I’ve got a problem i cannot login. it’s either i forgot my login name or password. what should i do now.
Hi Bro. Bo,
Yes, you’re an Aida to us. thanks for giving hope!
This blog gives me a glance and glimpse of ‘Taboric” experience that people carry with them from the feast.
Keep inspiring Bro. Bo ’cause I’m one of you’re inspired virtual student.

Indeed there is a thin line that separated a winner from the loser…and that is hope.

Thank you for reminding us Bo. Hope in God is all we need to keep moving. Never give up coz God moves in different ways.
Dear Tito Bo,
Thank Heavens for your Inspiring Words!!!! I am in the middle of “Unhappiness” due to my insecurities that robbed me off. My past became like a shadow to me that keeps following me.Right now, not having enough “Hope” is my biggest problem.Because somehow along the way, I got lost. And I lost myself in it. And that’s my problem. I never learn to smile during difficult times. But now I realize that having so much faith in God can bring total happiness. You just given me an idea of how to become happy again. Thank you tito Bo.!!!! God Bless you and thank you for being my “aida” to me.
hi bro Bo.
You are truly an instrument of God to everyone.
Indeed, your blog continues to inspire especially those who are misguided and do not believe in themselves, that God is always there with His Helping Hands.
good evening Bo!
thank you for giving me hope. Actually I”m been experiencing Good Friday. Now i have a glimpse of my future. I feel excited about tomorrow. God is truly great. He never abandons His child especially in times of need. Your message today has lifted up my soul. It also reminded me to always seek God’s guidance thru prayers. Please pray for my Easter Sunday!
May God bless you always in your ministry
ohh, Bo, i am now teary eyed. I am experiencing the same. My dreams seem getting further away. Some people are underestimating me but I could still say I AM STILL HAPPY coz HOPE is still dwelling within.
It’s true that we are being poured by so many trials in life. Other people feel drowned by it but there are still some people (i include myself) who are still swimming in it with a smile on my face and hope in my heart. it doesn’t make me blind to see small but so many blessing I receive from God.
I could relate to your story when someone told you, you couldn’t be a speaker. By sharing it with us you’re strengthening my hope in my heart.
When I have my hope level gets low again, I will read this post of yours again, to fuel me up.
Thanks for inspiring us. Thanks for allowing yourself to be God’s instrument to show His love to us. God bless, Bo.
Hi Bo,
I’ve read a lot of your writings..really inspiring..has a lot to relate to..I have known in my heart that happiness can only come from HIM and after lifting it all up to HIM i have begun to feel the happiness that no one..nothing can give me.. Totally a different lift of hope and faith..
Even in times where i feel ashamed of my thoughts and feelings, i close my eyes and share it with Him, for i know, like what you said that the ending of my life story has been written and that i will have a happy ending.
Even during those times that i was about to question Him, i felt the answer right away and has given me total peace and did not permit me to feel the anger and pain.
God is good! and has always been there to make us feel that we are loved..so much..
I have always believed that my life would end with a happy ending.
Thank you for being a constant reminder Bo..
Dear Bro. Bo
I feel like my marital problem is getting worse due to my negative emotions, doubts and fears but when i read your inspiring words, GOD answered all my fears and doubts that anything is possible for people with hope. i must hold on and keep on believing that God will again stood with us and bind us again. Thank you for the message of HOPE you have shared.
Bro. Bo..
Thank you for inspiring us. We have the courage to face our struggles everyday because of the lessons you always emphasized in your articles. The story was very simple yet we learned a lot form it.. You always make it simple for us to understand.. Thank you so much and God Bless..
Hi Bo,
What you have shared with me is very timely. There is this wonderful person in my life who seems to thinks he deserves to be unhappy. Im glad to know that I can be an Aida to him as you are to me right now. Thank you and God bless!
hi bo,
thank you for sending those inspiring stories and words from God…it really helps me to trust Him more..i think your my aida now…you give me hope to be more optimistic..you’re an instrument from God… tnx so much.. Godbless u always..
I LOST HOPE 2 weeks ago…I’ve been seeking a part-time job 4 to 6 hours….searched on the internet…asked friends and relatives….and even asked my Boss if i can have a take home Job as a part-time medical transcriptionist to earn additional money for my family and for the ministry…but did not agree for I don’t have training and work is just enough for the current numbers of MT’s.)…and did not got any job from all my applications.
I prayed for a part-time Job—day and night…and lifted that prayer also in the Feast every Sunday…I even applied as a real estate sales agent (I’m a computer technician/encoder/ IT- Support with the current company i work with)…with one of Feast Members…but it turned out that i realized I’m not fit for the job…so i did not pursue it.
It’s been a year long prayer…trying to make ends meet with my just above the minimum wage salary (I’m married with three children 14, 12 and 7 and renting a room–turned house)…Don’t get me wrong I’m very much happy with the current company I worked with…but i guess it’s a very difficult time for them to give me a raise of salary.
So for 1 whole week…I did not go to work (told them I’m sick…not the whole truth…sorry Lord!)…LOST my HOPE of giving my family a better life and future…the heat of the sun didn’t help either…Got me a mild heat stroke plus stress of family problems(Mother and Siblings)…Asked God Why? why would He not give me an additional Income…NO ANSWER!!!
then Sunday came….with a heavy heart…Still Serve in our Prayer Community’s Life in the Spirit Seminar in our Parish…(I’m a Lay Minister and Intercessor)…tried my best to perform my duty and assigned task. Serve in our 8:00pm Mass as a Lay Minister….Still with lost hope and a heavy burden in my heart…Ended the day with Lost Hope of I–a Husband and a Father of three will not be able to provide well for my family and give more to the ministry.
Monday Came–I decided to go to our Church’s Adoration Chapel…Cried Buckets of Tears in front of the Blessed Sacrament..I’m like Job in the Bible…complaining…asking…arguing…STILL—-NO ANSWER!…..then at the end gave up and lost with my wrestle of Faith and Hope in God…I just said…I WILL TRUST YOU MY GOD….and I WILL TRUST MYSELF AGAIN….I LEAVE TO YOU EVERYTHING.
I started to work-again…2 WEEKS AFTER….I still don’t have additional income and still making ends-meet with my salary…But I feel an overwhelming Peace in Me…that everything will be OK….It started to happen when I attended last Sunday’s Feast (May 2, 2010)…and wholeheartedly prayed and sang the Song with lyrics— “Lord I Offer My Life To You…Everything I’ve been Through…Use it for your Glory…..”….Cried Buckets of Tears again…but this time…with a very light and peaceful heart…I felt God taking my Heavy Yoke…Embraced Me and Telling everything will be OK….That day…I go home Full of Hope…and Trusting My God that EVERYTHING WILL BE OK…
Thanks Brother Bo for giving us Hope….May God Bless you more and your ministry.
P.S.
BTW…Do you have a Job for me…I would love to apply…seriously….God Bless!
Bo…Today, I start a new chapter with God. Thank you for the light of HOPE that you reminded me to look forward to. The past 15 days of my life were crucial times..I do believe, these shall pass….
hi bro. bo,
i miss your talks in jollibee….thanks for always sending me inspirations like these….life is tough and hard here in alberta canada, but i know God has a plan and a purpose in my life. i will strive to give hope and not to remove hope from other people although there are a lot of people who takes off hope in this part of the world, with God’s help and word, He does not allow my hope to be taken away by these people.
thank you for being a great help to my sister maria rosario alovera. may God continually bless you for your words of hope and wisdom…..

Hi Brother Bo. You are such a wonderful inspirationi to all. Everytime I need a lift of my spirit, your topic will say the same. Now, I don’t wanna worry about my illness because I know that there is Hope. That God will give this a happy ending. That I will still be with my children for a very very long time. That I will still see them get married, have kids. That I can still play with my apos:-) Thanks brother Bo again for always giving so much hope for all of us. I’m now going to walk, if cannot walk then crawl to greatness!!!
this made me cry.. it came when i needed it most.. i am so grateful for this.. thank you for enlightening me..
God bless you more Brother Bo!
thanks. i always look forward to your very inspiring blog. God bless always and may you continue to bless lots and lots of people. i’m praying for you.
Dear Bro. Bo,
Thank you.
You know, I admire you. I hope I get to discover my
purpose in life, like you. You are an inspiration to
me, and your messages inspire me.
I am very troubled right now with a decision I need to
make. I’m afraid really, but I am not losing hope that everything will work out for my good.
God bless us all.
Dear Bro. Bo:
Thanks for this very enlightening message.. I almost lost hope and respect for my husband since he cannot provide for us. You see he is jobless for almost a year now. And I cannot see any effort from him to look for another job nor make something worthwhile out of his time. My dreams for our family were crushed because of him. But your message gave me hope. I believe God has planned something more beautiful for us. And I am holding on with that BIG HOPE.
Hopefully it won’t take long now because I don’t wanna lose hope again. huhuhu…
Thank you for your messages which give me back my sanity whenever I am down and depressed… You are a God sent person…
Rose
Thank you Bro. Bo….

Dear Bro. Bo,
I feel so blessed every time I read your soulfood. Thank you for feeding us with so much hope and love. Indeed this is a good way of helping us build our spirit so that in return we could also help others find their own.
Thank you very much and God Bless you always!
Bo,
Thanks for the inspiring word. I really needed it because i am losing hope that i may not be extended on my job right now. I’m so scared and worried that what if’s i will lose my job, who will support me and my son. Please help me pray that i may continue to hope and that whatever may happen i will believe that God has a special plan for my life. Thanks
hi! Bo,
thank you for your inspiring words and for reminding us how Jesus truly loves us!
More power and may you continue to bless other people’s lives.
Cheers!
Hello Bro. Bo! Thanks for reminding me that there still is HOPE - I have been under a lot these past few months & I was really in the doldrums & was giving up/losing hope altogether…yet somehow, by God’s grace, people, events, uplifting articles such as this & my Mother’s/friends’ prayers have been doing wonders at helping me pull through & continue on with life…after reading this article, I have felt even more hopeful…I was supposed to go attend the QC Feast last Sunday but wasn’t able to…this Sunday, my Mom expressed her desire to also come join me…we will be going…we hope to have a really wonderful time with the QC Feasters hehehe…although we both originally would have wanted to attend the Feast in Valle Verde - problem is, it’s very far from our residence… anyway, who knows, one Sunday in the future, we just might be able to go to the Valle Verde Feast and see & hear you preach in person! Thanks for this article, thanks for talking about HOPE..thanks for being God’s instrument of HOPE to me…take care! God bless!
bro. bo
thanks so much…. with all the things , trials we have… hope is the only answer that will make us happy in our journey with God……no more , no less.
salamat po….we just learn to accept all these, and life will be easier as we go along….
Bo,
thank you so much for the e-mail. i’m already experiencing what you term “good friday” and i’m on the brink of giving up hope.
FAITH and TRUST in HIM is what keeps me going right now.
your article came just in time…when I needed it most.. its God speaking to me thru you… a real hope indeed… i know God’s blessing on its way… thanks bro..
Bo, this posts never fail to make my day.. Thanks so much and please never stop doing what you’re doing.. =)
Dear Bro. Bo,
Many thanks for this article on HOPE.
I remembered what I recently learned from a Philamlife executive on HOPE which I now share with all.
“HOPE is not complete without “E” for EFFORT. Without effort, one would just be HOPping around in expectation but nothing will happen because one did not exert effort.”
God bless us all!
Please always be a blessing. Thank you very much!
dear bro. bo,
thank you so much for the HOPE that you shared with me today. i really felt that the message was for me. all of the major things that ive done with my life is failing…. but with the message that you shared with me today, you “lifted the curtain” and gave me something to look forward to with my life. Please continue to be a blessing for others. God bless

Thanks for this wonderful message. God is talking with us through you. Just last night my bf attempted suicide coz I broke up with him, he is losing hope coz he thought life without me is nothing. I am okay with him now and I told him to for seek God and repent. I would let him read this article to be enlightened. thanks!

Dear Bro. Bo,
I felt a very different feeling, a good feeling for that matter after reading your message. I felt that I must be an Aida to my children no matter how bad they react to me and my wife. We should give them hope that their future will be bright and beautiful with God who is always at their side in everything that they do and pursue in life.
Thank you for being a source of inspiration to us. May you continue to be a blessing to all of us.
May God shower us all with His goodness and blessings thoughout our lives.

Dear Bro Bo,
The day has almost ended and this is the most inspiring word I received today. You give me a lot of HOPE. Problems has no ending. That it is already part of our life. But sometimes , we make our own problems too. The greatest thing of all is that we must never lose hope so that we may live again and again and again until we find happiness at the end.
Thank you so so much! I’m alive again with a BIG HOPE in my heart!
GOD BLESS U ALWAYS AND YOUR FAMILY.
Sally
dahil sa mga katulad mo na nagbibigay ng magagandang halimbawa, di mo lang alam kung gaano mo ako nabibigyan ng pag-asa na tuparin ang mga pangarap ko. lalong higit ang pangarap ng Diyos na naging pangarap ko na rin tuparin. tnx brother. God bless you more. mahal ka ng Diyos!
hello there Bro. Bo,
i would like to thank you for making this article. it is truly inspiring.
this is my first to have left a comment after reading your article… it is really because this is what i really need to read or hear right now. im having “hope” problems which came from my problem in my academics~
you see, i need to pass a very important subject and after i have seen my 3rd exam notebook (we have four exam notebooks), i find it impossible for me to pass that subject.
but i dont want to lose hope. i keep on praying that may God touch the heart of my professor and be considerate on giving me the grade i need.
each minute i keep on talking and praying to God that He may grant me what i need…
i hope i could get what i need. i hope and pray that all is well.
once again i would like to thank you, Bro. Bo.
May God continue to bless us all.
Bro Bo,
maraming salamat,true enough attending the feast at valle verde i received the taboric experience,i am always hopeful that my marriage will be beautiful despite of trials & difficulties.
thank you and God bless you and your family
Thank you so much bro Bo.. this article reminds me that I really have HOPE. I felt hopeless and wanted to give up my work before I left the office tonight. I’ve been struggling to coup up with a lot of new things to learn/research on my new job. I though nagiging bobo na ako because couldn’t finish my tasks. You boosted my confidence bro, this what I need right now.
Thank you and God bless you always.
Jon

angie
Bro. Bo,
Thank you for this highly inspiring article. I think you raised the key question in our daily life:
Will you go carry your problems with hope or …without hope?”
And your title squarely gives the answer: God Says Your future is Beautiful!
It’s practically deciding to have that positive mindset–everyday of our life!
Who else knows our future except God Himself? We just need to trust Him and hope that in spite of the negatives we now face, there is still hope, a light at the end of the dark tunnel.
May God continue to make you a blessing to others! And more, may this article make us a source of hope too for others! God bless….
Bro Bo, THANK YOU for being AIDA to us, right now I am depressed in my work environement, but through this article I finished reading it with a BIG SMILE on my face & a BIG BIG HOPE in my heart! Thank you for touching our lives.God Bless us All.
dear bro. bo,
Thank you. I was down and out and feeling so low but your message gave me hope, the strength the will to keep on. I always share with others your words of love and encouragement. May God continue to bless you more than you could ever imagine.
Wow Bro. Bo, Thank you
Dear Bro Bo,
Thanks for being an ‘Aida’ to me when i’m about to give up…Thru your inspiring messages you give me a lot of HOPE…God bless you always..
Doing God’s will is joy in inself no matter what situation in life we are in / how difficult it maybe. God did not promise us joy without sorrow , smile without tears, yet even in our seemingly darkest moments , there is this bright light that guides us through our journey, this ray of Hope. True, Hope will bring us to a new tomorrow , to a New Life of the Resurrection that has been promised us, to those who have Faith in God’s Love .
Have a very good day everyone !
Be happy !
Thanks Bro. Bo & family .
hi Bo. =)
Im happy having my lunch at this time. I thought of checking my emails for some good news about job opportunity.
And here I am reading your Article. God just has a magnificent way of getting my attention.
Lately I have been worried, but I prayed and found peace in my Heart. And all the more today for through you the Lord has spoken to me once again.
I will attend Feast again one of this days.
Thank you and please include me in your prayers always.
Hello, Sir Bo!
