Turning Thoughts Into Things
One day, Juan Miguel died.
And instantly, he found himself in a beautiful place.
A woman covered in light approached him and said, “Welcome, Juan Miguel. It’s easy to get to know this place. Just walk around. And if you’re hungry, just wish for it. You can wish for anything you want and it’ll be given to you.”
“Wow! Anything?” Miguel said. “For my appetizers, can I have New Zealand baked oysters? For my main meal, I’d like to have Alaskan crabs with lemon buttered dip—plus a side dish of Cebu’s Lechon. For my dessert, I want a tall glass of chocolate parfait drizzled with Belgian truffles. Oh, and please give me a diet Coke. I’m trying to watch my weight.”
The woman said, “In this place, no matter how much you eat, you won’t gain a single pound.”
“This is incredible!” Miguel said. “In that case, can you also add crispy pata, liempo, and pata tim?”
Instantly, all the yummy food he ordered appeared right in front of him in a huge buffet that looked like those served in 5-star hotels. Except that the buffet was only for him.
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
Instant Gratification
“Wait a minute,” the man said. “You mean to tell me that in this place, I can have anything I want?”
The woman said matter-of-factly, “Yes.”
“How about a nice car?” he asked.
“Sure. Just say the brand…”
He decided to be daring. “A top-of-the-line BMW!”
The words had not yet left his lips when a shiny silver blue, brand new, custom-made BMW popped in front of him. It even had a diamond-encrusted emblem of his name on the steering wheel.
“Whoa!” he shouted. As he opened the door to examine the leather seats, he turned to the lady and asked, “Can I also have a 10-bedroom house with a swimming pool and jacuzzi?”
In a wink of an eye, a huge mansion appeared in front of him.
“No,” Miguel said, “I changed my mind. I want a 127-room castle. And I want my backyard to be a forest spanning a thousand hectares!” And viola, his gigantic castle and gigantic forest appeared before him.
He got into his BMW and drove into the gates of his humongous castle, all the while screaming, “Yipeee! I gonna love this place!”
Like a little boy opening his gifts on Christmas day, he was extremely happy, creating things left and right.
After 7 days, something happened: Miguel was no longer happy.
And he couldn’t understand why.
So he searched for the woman who welcomed him 7 days ago.
When he found her, he asked, “Excuse me, but I’m here to complain. I have everything I need, but I’m actually very bored,” he said. “In fact, I’ve never been more miserable in my entire life than now.”
The woman remained silent and just looked at Miguel, her face emotionless.
He began to sob. “How could you call this place Heaven?”
The woman shook her head. “Excuse me Miguel, but who told you this was Heaven?”
When You Don’t Serve,
You’re Not In Heaven
Miguel was taken aback. “What?”
The woman said, “Did I ever once tell you that you were in Heaven?”
He thought back and realized she never did. “Where am I, then?”
“You’re not in Heaven, that’s for sure,” the woman said.
“But everything I want comes true!”
The woman said, “Yes, everything you want comes true. Miguel, haven’t you noticed? In the past 7 days, you never loved anyone. You never served anyone. All you thought about was yourself. What you wanted.”
“So?” Miguel asked. “Isn’t that supposed to be fun?”
The woman said, “Heaven is the perfection of love. Hell is the absence of all love.”
Reality hit Miguel like a giant hammer hitting his head. His lips quivered, “Don’t tell me…”
The lady said, “Juan Miguel, welcome to Hell.”
Miguel collapsed to the ground. “Nooooooooooo! How did I end up here?”
“You chose it.”
He shook his head. “No, I didn’t!”
“We all choose our eternity. Because eternity is a mere continuation of our chosen life on earth. We merely follow its path after our death.”
As the woman walked away, she said to Miguel, “Order a few Lear jets, perhaps some giant yachts. It may take away some pain. At least for a few seconds…”
Miguel wept.
For a very long, long time.
A Different Ending
In the Philippines, some of our telenovelas have two different endings.
Isn’t that cool? In one version, Judy Ann Santos dies. In the other, Judy Ann Santos misses the bullet and marries her prince.
So allow me to create a different version of our story…
One day, Juan Miguel died.
And instantly, he found himself in a beautiful place.
Immediately, he saw his grandparents and other family members and friends who had already gone there before him. They greeted him with a group hug, shouting, “Welcome, Juan Miguel! We missed you so much!”
“Wow, it’s so wonderful to see you!” Miguel said.
“We love you, Miguel!” they all said in unison.
After many more tears and hugs and I love yous, his grandmother asked, “Miguel, do you want something to eat? In this place, you can eat anything you want.”
“Wow, really? Okay, for my appetizers, can I have some Ceasar’s Salad with Spanish anchovies? For my main meal, I’d like to have Garoupa with capers and olives plus a little Roti breadon the side. For dessert, I want scoops and scoops of Gelato Italian ice cream.”
And in a wink of an eye, a 5-star buffet table filled with food appeared.
“Unbelievable!” he shouted.
“It’s all yours, Miguel,” they said.
“No way!” Miguel said. He got a plate, filled it with food, and gave it to his grandfather. He filled another plate and gave it to his grandmother. “You’re all eating with me,” Miguel said. “Hey grandma, how are you doing?”
She smiled and said, “Miguel, I’m happy here. In this place, we have enormous power. You can wish for anything—and it will come true.”
“Anything? Like cars and houses…”
“Yes!” everyone shouted.
His grandmother said, “Juan Miguel, I have something to give you. Close your eyes…”
Only Love Can Make Anything Beautiful
As he closed his eyes, she snapped her finger and viola—a shiny silver blue, brand new, custom-made BMW popped up in front of him. It even had a diamond-encrusted emblem of Miguel’s name on the steering wheel. Below his name were the words, “Love, Grandma”.
Miguel was speechless. She hugged him tight and said, “I knew you’d like it.”
After wiping a tear, he said, “I like the car, Grandma, but it’s your love that makes it so special. Hey, can I do these things too? You know, snap my finger and give you all some gifts?”
“Not in a million years!” his grandfather said.
Everyone laughed.
“Your grandpa is kidding, Miguel,” Grandma said. “Of course you have the power to do that.”
“But it’s my turn to give Miguel something,” Grandpa said. “Miguel, I’m going to build you a little house. Would a castle do?”
Everyone laughed again.
“If it’s big enough for all of you to live with me, I’ll accept it,” Miguel said.
The old man said, “But it’ll take awhile. You see, I won’t snap my finger and give you a castle.”
“You won’t?”
“Nope. I’m going to build you one with my bare hands. I want it to be a labor of love. Just to let you know how much I love you.”
“We’ll help,” the others chimed in.
“Besides, it’ll be so much more fun!” Grandpa said.
And you could hear their laughter echo all over Heaven.
The Two Things You Need To Be Successful
You can’t be successful in life without these two essential things:
Giftedness and Godliness.
Let me define them for you.
Giftedness is the ability to turn thought into things;
Godliness is the ability to use that giftedness to serve.
Giftedness is being like God in his skills;
Godliness is being like God in his service.
Giftedness is being like God in his power;
Godliness is being like God in his love.
Giftedness is charisma; Godliness is character.
You can be successful with giftedness alone, but success will be short-lived and isolated in one or two areas of your life. For real success that spans your whole life, you need giftedness and godliness.
Giftedness
Let’s talk about giftedness first.
The most successful people in the world have perfected the craft of turning thoughts into things. Successful people are those who have the skill of making their dreams come true. What they think about becomes reality.
One day, Steve Jobs was in his house when he thought of a little gadget that can contain 10,000 songs and that was tiny enough to put in your pocket. And in a few years, Apple produced the Ipod and it has taken over the music world by storm.
One day, Warren Buffet thought of buying businesses when the values were cheap. It all started with a thought. Today, Warren Buffet is the second richest man in the world because his company owns thousands of companies.
One day, Manny Pacquiao was in a tiny town in General Santos, thinking of becoming a boxing champ. Today, he’s the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
Friends, you have that gift. All of us do. God has given you that power to turn thoughts into things. He made His co-creators!
Our problem is that we don’t use this enormous gift that we have.
In my preaching at the Feast and in my writings, I constantly remind people of that power that we have to turn thought into things.
But giftedness alone isn’t enough to create Heaven…
Godliness
You need godliness too.
Many people imagine Heaven in this way: People floating around in their pajamas and all they do the whole day is sit on fluffy clouds and play their harps.
If that’s Heaven, I’ll be like Juan Miguel in my first story: bored to death.
More than anything else, I believe Heaven is a place of service. We’ll be serving each other more than ever before. If that doesn’t attract you, then you won’t like Heaven. Yes, I really believe we choose our eternity by our way of life on earth. God won’t force Heaven upon us. He’ll respect how we want to live.
The Rewards Of Service:
Heaven On Earth
I’m living the dream life.
One day, a lady interviewed me for a magazine article. She asked, “Bo, if you had an opportunity to live your life all over again, would you live your life in any other way?” I told her, “Except for my sins, I wouldn’t change a single thing. I would still serve God with my life.”
Why? Because I’ve experienced the Rewards of Service. The Bible says, And anyone who gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.[1]
Friends, Heaven and Hell starts here.
God promised Rewards. And it will happen.
If you serve, you experience Heaven here.
If you don’t serve, you experience Hell here.
What are the Rewards of Service? I know I could site 2,486 examples, but for lack of space, let me just share three rewards today:
1. I have so much love in my life.
2. I’ve grown in my talents.
3. I’ve protected my spiritual life.
Here they are…
1. I Have So Much Love In My Life
My friends are the greatest.
Just look at the guys who lead Light of Jesus with me. You’ll notice that most of them have been with me for 30 years. Look at the second line of leaders. You’ll notice that they’ve been serving with me for 20 years.
Why do I have these phenomenal friends in my life?
Because we don’t just serve God—we serve each other in personal ways.
I repeat: Service is not a set of activities; Service is a way of life.
Serving each other means calling each other, doing stuff for each other, and praying for each other. We take trips together; We eat together; We laugh together.
We serve each other. That, in one line, is the secret of maintaining the unity of a church or ministry. If you see an organization whose leaders are serving God but not serving each another in personal relationships, mark my word, in won’t be long before you see a major split in that organization. Guaranteed.
If you want to fill your life with love, learn to serve.
2. I Grew In My Talents
Yes, I grew in my giftedness.
I started serving when I was 12 years old.
I sang in the choir. I played the guitar. I wrote the song lyrics on Manila paper. (Kids, this was during a prehistoric era when there was no LCD Projector yet.) I arranged the chairs. I swept the floor. I cleaned the toilets. Even if I was the speaker, I still had to carry the loud speakers.
For 20 years, almost everyday, I would preach to anyone. You name it, I preached to them. I’ve preached to kids, teachers, farmers, executives, prisoners, doctors, judges… The only audience I haven’t preached to are green aliens from outer space. (Perhaps one day.)
Believe me, it was the best public speaking training anyone could ever have!
For 20 years, I served without charge, not knowing that I was being paid in another way…
Because I grew in self-confidence.
I grew in leadership skills.
I grew in relationship skills.
I grew so much in my personal life, that by the time I got married at the age of 32 and needed to earn money and start businesses, it was easy. Why? I had all those fantastic skills under my belt.
Listen carefully: If you want grow your wealth, you’ve got to grow you.
There’s no other way.
3. I Protected My Spiritual Life
My service kept me godly.
When I was 21 years old, I had an experience I’ll never forget. This was a time when I was still young and irresistible. (Now, I’m just irresistible to my wife.)
I was alone in my office when I heard a knock on the door. When I opened, I saw a young beautiful girl crying in front of me. She asked if she could speak to me. She said she was in so much pain. So I let her in. (At that time, I still didn’t know that men shouldn’t counsel attractive young women alone.)
Through much sobbing, she told me about her boyfriend. She told me how he was using her. She told me she had given her body to him and how she regretted it.
As I listened to her story, without warning, she threw herself to me. She knelt in front of me and embraced me. With her head on my chest, her lovely eyes looking at me, she said, “Bo, you’re really the man I want for my life. I love you, Bo!”
Picture this scene. Here was this gorgeous young woman throwing herself at my feet, telling me she loved me. I could feel her supple body and soft skin. I could smell her sweet scent. I could touch her beautiful hair. At that point, she was putty in my hands and I could do anything I wanted to do with her.
I want to be honest with you. At that moment, I almost forgot I was a Christian. But as ridiculous as this may sound, there was one thing I didn’t forget: That I had to give a talk in a prayer meeting in two hours!
That’s what saved me. My thoughts were, “My gosh, how could I face my audience if I did something naughty right now?”
So I pulled her up and led her to the door. She couldn’t understand why I was driving her out. Two times, she tried to embrace me again, begging me to love her.
I had to literally push her out of the door.
Let me tell you how human I was. After I pushed her out and closed the door, I leaned my back on the door and said, “Sayang”[2].
But twenty years later, all I can say is, “Thank God, nothing happened!”
My service protected me from sin.
Serve In God’s House
Be a world-changer in a new level.
Yes, serve God in your families, in your jobs, in your businesses. Complete the picture and serve God in His House too.
You have a choice.
Every time you come to Church…
Choice A:
You can park in your favorite parking spot, walk to your favorite seat, sing a few songs, listen to a talk, chat with friends, and go home and watch TV.
Choice B:
Or you can roll up your sleeves, serve in a ministry, love people with all your heart, and go home with that sense of satisfaction, joy, and fulfillment that you’re serving God and God’s people in His House.
Friend, do something bigger than yourself: Build the Kingdom of God.
Our organization, Light of Jesus, is run by thousands of selfless volunteers. Without these wonderful people serving as administrators, singers, ushers, musicians, intercessors, programmers, caregivers, counselors, group leaders, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. (If you’re abroad, log on at www.KerygmaFamily.com and be part of our borderless, international, non-physical community.)
Believe that God will lead you to the best way to serve Him.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

I will love her too.heheh
thank you again bro.
Thanks for this wonderful inspirational message bro. bo.
Sometimes due to our selfish motives we forget to be of service to others until we realize that we are so empty. At that point we try our very best to seek something that we couldn’t grasp because we can’t let go of what our selfishness has turn us into.
Thanks bro. Bo, continue helping others by teaching them how to serve.
Bo,
what an inspiring article!
yes, i believed that serving through godly ways that will make our loved ones happy is very fulfilling.
it really hurts when you’re just alone and you have no one to turn to or no one to offer what you have just achieved in your life.
being alone is really boring and feels like hell!
when we see that our loved one is also happy for our achievements in life, that’s when we feel true joy in our hearts…
bro,
i’m so touched…. thanks for reminding!!!
continue to be a blessing to others….. it helps a lot.
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

Temptation is the hardest trial for anyone, but sometimes God finds a way for us to resist it and not to fall to it but at least you should have the Godliness in your life before this Temptations or else you will have a weak way to resist it. So Lesson is, always maintain your Godliness, no matter what.

Thanks for another beautiful article. Loved every part of it especially Juan Miguel’s story (kinda new to me).
Got teary-eyed about being in Heaven — it’s when you give & share to others… and when loved-ones are with you to enjoy God’s abundant blessings.
Also learned about being gifted & Godly - & the choice we have to make to serve & build His kingdom!Thanks!
truly inspiring..I wish I’m back home there in Manila so that I can meet and talk to you..
God Bless us all!!!
Hi bro. Bo!
Everytime I read your article God really inspired me through you. Through you God is Touching lives, with all your practical advices I really learned a lot from you.
May the goodness of God shine in you!

thanks bro. BO,
truly another inspiring article… As you said, this won’t be that inspiring if we don’t apply this in our everyday lives…
GOD Bless us all…
Hi Bro Bo,
Am currently out of the country to baby sit my neice and really evryday I looked forward to read your mails. Truly it is very inspiring and touches me. From todays article, I was reminded of the things that happen to me too, I was also put into that scenario of counseling women that has problems, several times I was tempted to fall into that sin, but as I continue serving Him thru our community the Singles for Christ, God has strengthen me and in God’s grace several times when I face the same situation, I get to resist it now… God is really amazing and He really works in mysterious ways… For that may God be praised..
Thank you and more power…
Felix
Hi Bro. Bo,
I really love the words GIFTEDNESS & GODLINESS; how a person can bless the world to glorify the name of God, ALWAYS!
Thanks again for this wonderful article Bro. Bo.
God bless.
Hi Bro. Bo,
I really loved the story, nakakaantig sa puso at madaling makuha…
I really learned something from here, that without love one cannot really do anything… aside from Giftedness Godliness…
thank you po sa article na ito Bro!
Bro. Bo,
Thanks for another inspiring article.
I’ve learned a lot from it…
As Christ said; “I’m here to serve, not to be served”
May you continue to inspire others and teach them how to serve..
God Bless and more power to your group!!

Hi there Bro. BO!
Thank you for this wonderful talk. I listened to it personally with my whole family last Sunday Feast… It’s funny and witty, but it is also an “eye-opener”. It reminded me that heaven is “just” a continuation of our life here on earth.
LOVE and SERVICE are the key words.
Praise God for having Bro. BO in our life. In fact, i was able to save practically all your talks in my ipod and listen to them regularly, even your talks ten years ago (salamat sa internet, kasi wala na kayong binebenta nito)… I love them. (Salamat din sa sites ng Kerygma Family and Preacher in Blue Jeans and youtube).
Bro. BO, salamat uli sa mga prayers ninyo sa Feast at sa mga taga-LOJ, pumasa na yung daughter ko sa Nursing Board Exams at napagawa ko na ng napakagandang bahay ung anak kong panganay na married na. Dalawa lang yun sa mga answered prayers sa “Novena” to God’s Love ko.
Napakabuti talaga at napakabait ng Diyos! Kahit maraming pagsubok, yung pagmamahal pa rin niya ang mamamayani in the END!
All Glory and Praise to the Great “I AM”!
Thank your sir Bo!
This inspired me much to go back to the church I promised to serve for the rest of my life - St. Anthony of Padua, Singalong Manila.
Bro. Bo,
Now, I’m filled with confidence after reading this current issue:” Turning Thoughts into Things”.. So, I can boldly pursue anything will give GOD’s glory through a long term service….
Thanks so much 4 non stop spiritual guidance to us youth for Christ!!!!!!!!
I am specially blessed…
Thank God for this!
Never fails to inspire me =]
Just think at any situation…. What would Jesus do?
God bless =)
Hi Bro Bo,
Many times I’ve been blessed by your talks and articles through the “FEAST”, this will be the first time I had the change to express my gratitude so I’m making it big….”THANK YOU!!!”
You really are a gifted, Godly person! It is my desire to grow with you in your community with you as the leader upfront behind the true leader who is our Lord, Jesus Christ!
More power to you and to (y)our community…
” My heart is restless Lord until it rests in Thee ! ” says St. Augustine. Loving and serving others is finding true joy ; finding God Himself Who is Joy ! Yes, for ” Whatever you do to the least of your brethren, that , you do unto Me… ” says Jesus. God bless us !!!
Hi…Bro.Bo,
Thank you for this gorgeous message!
God Bless!

Bro. Bo,
The message is so timely because righty now i’m suffering from sadness because I went here in NY justto take the National PHYSICAL THERAPY EXAMINATION
Bro. Bo,
The message is so timely because righty now i’m suffering from sadness because I went here in NY justto take the National PHYSICAL THERAPY EXAMINATION. I took the first test last April but I failed so I have to extend my stay and took the test again yesterday just to failed for the second time. yeah you’re right, we are the one who chose for our path, may be God want me to stay in the Philippines and realize that I what I have there is already a heaven because I can enjoy the presence of my family there everyday and be able to feel their love for me. No matter how difficult life is, what’s important is we are able share our love with our family. Maybe God has other plans for me. God bless bro. Bo.
thank U Bro. Bo!
I am so blessed with this article
I have the desire of earning more wealth for myself because of the thought that I wasn’t able to receive much of material blessings since my childhood…
I’ve realized that “heaven” is where I want to go and that earth is just my transient home. So, i should be careful and get rid of my selfishness and vengeance for these will not lead me to my real home in heaven.
You’re such a blessing Bro. Bo!
Thank You!
Once more, a timely reminder. Thank you for being God’s instrument to send me his message! I’m just going through decisions and it was after reading this article that I realized I was being selfish. This definitely tipped the scale in my decision-making as the other option will give me opportunity to serve and to love.
Thanks, Bro Bo!
Thank you so much for the effort to make God’s word known all over the world. I’m thankful that we have internet and by using it, you guys have used this as a tool to Evangelize. Do you have a podcast? I would love to subscribe to it!
Bro Bo…
thanks for those reminders… it really talks to my heart…
God bless…
As I was about to give up to the humongous-enormously large problemized world…. there you were again Mr. Bo Sanchez.
I could always recall even when I was in High School back in the 86’s to 90’s and through my college years your fascinating inspiring articles always serve as a net for me drawing me out of a lurking problem or just served as a protection of falling.
Continue to write Mr. Bo Sanchez… as a writer myself, your articles really hit me in my veins down to my heart.
More power.
thank you so much brother bo for ispiring so many people… Praise God!
thank you bro bo for inspiring so many people…
god bless
Inspiring, Bro. Bo! Just one tiny suggestion, though. (I hope I will not burst the bubble of my brothers and sisters.) Perhaps you can expound more on this topic of thoughts turning into things. Although there is no dispute that everything starts with an idea, a dream, some people might think that a mere dream is enough to turn things into reality. A lot of people fall into a complacent, wait-and-see state, and, in fact, don’t do anything after dreaming. Then they get frustrated; worse, they even blame God if the things they dreamed of or “attract in their life” don’t materialize. (My guess is that “The Secret” has a lot to do with this.) I do not claim to be an expert in this subject. It’s just that in my personal life, I saw “prayer and action” play a big part before “thoughts” turned into “things.”
Bro. Bo,
I Thank GOD for this Wonderful morning and for giving me a chance to open my email.(kasi tulog pa mga anak ko it’ my chance)
Anyway, Thanks Bro. Bo for sending me this great article, I really inspired, it touches my life and I’ve learn a lot…
Everytime I attended the FEAST I really feel BLESSED!!
You are a true BLESSING to everyone Bro. Bo,

Thanks for the great thoughts. That is what God meant when he said, “….go into the world and multiply…” You’re multiplying your gifts.
Physically you may not be that irresistible now, but spiritually you are. I’m just thankful to God we’re miles apart….hehehe! just kidding.
Still I could not download your ebook “How To Know If Your Dreams Are God’s Dreams.” Is there anyone who could help me?
More blessings to you!

Can I ask you something?
Why aren’t there a lot of women preachers?
I’m a 16 year-old girl, and it has always been my dream.
Is preaching only for men?

I’m new here! It’s great to be able to relate to someone so human as I am.

Wonderful story. Great for contemplating on.

Now this is an eye-opener,.. but also this is one thing that kept on nagging me for the past few years. I’m not really a spoiled brat who gets everything but I am just blessed to get the things that really satisfies me, the good part is that I don’t really have to work hard for it. Then came a time that I felt my life was going to be so complete because I almost got married with the love of my life, those dreams crumbled when the wedding didn’t push through. My family tried to cheer me up with material things. kind of like the stuff that the Juan Miguel got but of course not that extreme… but I feel satisfied for a short time but in the end, I just realize that these stuff could never ever replace the person that I lost… But anyway, they say that it happened for a reason and God takes away things that will not be good for us so right now I’m still in the process of recovering from the painful situation. But the post just inspired me as well… thanks Brother Bo!
Bro. Bo,
Thank you so much po for the wonderful article. May God bless you more as you continously shine your light and being salt to others like me. Have a great week.

Brother Bo,
Hi, i hope that you and your family are well.
i’ve read 3 of your books,
it’s all very illuminating and inspiring,
i’m not surprised this article is just as good and witty as your books.
Me too, if i’ll have the chance to live again , i would still choose to be myself, just who i am right now , i may not be serving God proactively , but for me , He’s my bestfriend.
hi bo,
its so inspiring to read your articles everyday. my first meeting with you was when my friend let me borrow her book titled “8 secrets of truly rich”. you may wonder what in your book that really became curious about you? it’s the article about psychological wallet… i really love that article.
from then on, i subscribe you your daily writings and its really helped my develop my attitude.
i wish you good health to continue inspires other people. i hope to see in person to thank you for the wisdom you’ve shared to me and to other people. but for now, big thanks and take care…
Bro. Bo,
I praise God for your inspiring articles. It affirms and give me more courage to love more the poor and helpless people.
Now I find more meaning of caring my aged step-mother.. God bless bro. Bo.
Hello Bo’
Wow! Thank you Bo… I came to realize that it’s worth to serve God more than anything else. God bless!
Dear Bro. Bo,
I like your story today. You know almost every day, eversince my husband died, I always think how heaven looks like. I always read the bible and search for those verses that narrates about life after death, heaven and the angels.
Although, your story is fictitious, I have added this to my collection of thoughts that you view heaven like this. And somehow happy for the realization that it is not only me who believed that when everybody dies, we will see each other in heaven (and recognize each other).
God bless and thank you.
tnx. for the inspiring article. God bless
Bro. Bo,
thanks for this very inspiring article. i really want to go to heaven thats why i am doing my best to be pleasing to God even tho i know its very difficult sometimes.
i am a mother of 5 and i do trust the Lord to guide me raise up my children in the right path that they will grow up full of love and service to others.
thanks bro. bo. for all the teachings and preachings!
more power!
Bro. Bo
Your article reminded me of what my true purpose is in this life - to love and to serve God and others. Sometimes, in the daily grind of our life, we often forget about these things.
Heaven (or hell) indeed begins here on earth. I hope to spend eternity with God.
This one’s for me, Bo! I think I have everything but I am not happy. I used to serve and love. I want to serve again and love again to the max when I return home to our beloved Philippines next year. Thank you for this enlightening article. More power from God!
Thank you very much indeed for the very inspiring message. More power to you and your family. God bless. so refreshing! whew! =)

Hi Brother Bo,
It was a very powerful article that you’ve made. I was inspired and enlightened, GOD is always good with us. Honestly, I don’t like reading books, articles, etc..before especially when it comes to our religion. But now it’s different, from these I’m starting to know more, learn more and LOVE more our LORD.
Thanks a lot Brother Bo for sharing and I will share this too with my lovely wife (Marison).
GOD BLESS us always!!!

Dear Bro. Bro.
Hello to all Kyregma family!
Peace of our Lord Jesus be with you all!
I am just so touched and moved by your article.
It really brings empowerment ang strength to go forward in our mission as Jesus disciples.
Thats why, I was not surprised when my dear brother&sister/ friend in our CFC community chooses your organization to be with and resigned as one of our devoted leaders.
You are really a source of wisdom.
May God bless you and your family always.
Thank you so much!
Am looking forward for a new article you will be sending to all your subscribers.
bro bo, i have just discovered your blog.
i love your writings. i find it very inspiring. God bless.
Brother Bo, your article helped me a lot.
i’m no longer afraid of my incoming mock board exam!
i’ve got a new hope! thank you very much!
i love your article.! it hits me.
anyways, where can i find your blog?
i am very happy to have read this brother bo. i am actually in a very same state as juan miguel, living his dream as it seems. very happy and contented with my life but still something is missing. i believe that my heart will only find rest in Him. yes i love to serve and work for others, but i guess i am caught in a very thin line between contentment and complacency. madalas nauunahan ako ng katamaran and the lonely question of ‘whats in it for me’. i am trying to read more of your works since you seem to be tireless and laziness doesn’t get much in your way. Thank God for your blogs and efforts to reach out.
You always inspired me with your words. Thank you for reminding me to love even more.
Dear Bro. Bo,
Good day! i’ve been so lost these days. Im afraid to open my bible and pray because maybe it is hypocrisy in my part. I’ve sinned many times then after sinning, I kept on praying and worshiping. I’m ashamed to talk to Him.. I’m ashamed to myself. I don’t know what to do. I’m so lost. Please help me.
hope i could meet you someday…
your words inspires me a lot
keep it up
bro bo
kipsafe always
thanks! great article… very inspiring.
this is so inspiring. may our dreams come true and thanks to u bro bo..
Advance HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER BO!. Thank you so much for being a blessing to everyone esp. to me. You really inspired me and help me motivate myself that life is so beautiful to live with…. I just keep on subscribing your Kyrgma and I love reading of it because I got a lot of lessons there that I may able to apply it in my daily life. thank you once again and continue to be a blessing to everyone. God bless you always!
wow Bo! you’re human! thank you
