I am here for Friends

About Me

Name: Matthew Rex m. Torres
Nick/s: tieW, MMMAAATTTCCCHHHOOO!!!, tchoo-matts, maffew, matchz, matt, li'l bro, you name it
Age: 15
i think i'm a nice guy.. or maybe not.. i really don't mind much about myself.. i really love my friends to the extent that i become overprotective.. i used to say that if anyone ever hurt any of my friends, i'd feed them their teeth..
but don't be scared of me.. i'll do just about anything for a friend.. i also tend to put myself aside and put others in first.. but i resent people who take advantage of me
i'm sports-minded, and very outgoing.. if you're with me, you might think i'm crazy coz i like doing risky things.. but you can count on me for anything
i'm constantly in a battle with myself, but i rely on Jesus for help..
resented by the world since i could remember. swallowed by grief, thinking i could never find a way out. but still i tried to remain faithful to Him, praying whenever i could remember. knowing so many people, but not knowing who to trust. taken for granted and abused for my abilities, oftentimes leading to disaster. spending so much time on self-destruction through silence.
then i finally took a step to ask for help, still ever so defensive of myself. i let go, and then, it happened. i was saved by four new friends sent by my Father in heaven. my faith renewed, my spirit reborn. like an eagle taking flight for the first time with growing wings that continue to strengthen with every beat, trusting in my own Lord.
i'm making friends whom i've just met and whom i will meet. blessed so much to have more brothers and sisters in Christ.
as i have learned, the great people in the bible were not the strongest, not the fastest, nor were they the smartest, but they were the ones with the most open hearts. Rev. 3:20 says, "I stand at the door and knock. He who hears my voice and let me in, I will eat with him and he with Me."
please don't mistake me for someone who is religious.. as i've learned, religion is just man's sad way of reaching up to God.. reaching up to Him is like trying to reach the horizon where the sky and seas touch, or trying to jump up to the moon.. hopeless, worthless and impossible.. no religion can save.. Jesus is our only salvation.. to truly love Him and be intimate with Him, accepting Him as your Savior and following His orders is the gateway to eternity...

Who I'd like YOU to meet:

The God Who Won’t Give Up

Not everyone in Jesus’ world gave him a warm welcome. Not everyone received him with grace. And many didn’t just ignore him, they rejected him.

Isaiah prophesied his reception like this: “He was despised and rejected by men” (Isa. 53:3 NIV).

John summarized the rejection of Jesus with these words: “He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him” (John 1:10-11 NIV).

How did Christ endure treatment like that? At any point he could have said, “I quit. I’ve had enough.” Why didn’t he? What kept him from giving up?

I wonder if Lee Ielpi understands the answer? He is a retired firefighter, a New York City firefighter. He gave twenty-six years to the city. But on September 11, 2001, he gave much more. He gave his son. Jonathan Ielpi was a fireman as well. When the Twin Towers fell, he was there.

Firefighters are a loyal clan. When one perishes in the line of duty, the body is left where it is until a firefighter who knows the person can come and quite literally pick it up. Lee made the discovery of his son’s body his personal mission. He dug daily with dozens of others at the sixteen-acre graveyard. One Tuesday, December 11, three months after the disaster, his son was found. And Lee was there to carry him out.

He didn’t give up. The father didn’t quit. He refused to turn and leave. Why? Because his love for his son was greater than the pain of the search. Can’t the same be said about Christ? Why didn’t he quit? Because the love for his children was greater than the pain of the journey. He came to pull you out. Your world had collapsed. That’s why he came. You were dead, dead to sin. That’s why he came. He loves you. That’s why he came.

That’s why he endured the distance between us. “Love…endures all things.”

That’s why he endured the resistance from us. “Love…endures all things.”

That’s why he went the final step of the incarnation: “God made him who had not sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21 NIV).

Why did Jesus do that? There is only one answer. And that answer has one word. Love. And that love of Christ “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Cor. 13:7 NKJV).

Think about that for a moment. Drink from that for a moment. Drink deeply. Don’t just sip or nip. It’s time to gulp. It’s time to let his love cover all things in your life. All secrets. All hurts. All hours of evil, minutes of worry.

The mornings you awoke in the bed of a stranger? His love will cover that. The years you peddled prejudice and pride? His love will cover that. Every promise broken, drug taken, penny stolen. Every cross word, cuss word, and harsh word. His love covers all things.

Let it. Discover along with the psalmist. “He…loads me with love and mercy” (Ps. 103:4). Picture a giant dump truck full of love. There you are behind it. God lifts the bed until the love starts to slide. Slowly at first, then down, down, down until you are hidden, buried, covered in his love.

“Hey, where are you?” someone asks.

“In here, covered in love.”

Let his love cover all things.

Do it for his sake. To the glory of his name.

Do it for your sake. For the peace of your heart.

And do it for their sake. For the people in your life. Let his love fall on you so yours can fall on them.
