THE NEED TO STUDY

Tomorrow will be a first day for me of a brand new experience, The mentoring of a lady that has decided to accept God and is open to be ministered with the good news of salvation. This is a brand new experience for me because she is the very first person I will be personally guiding to study more of God's grace and mercy to those  that accept Him. I am excited and at the same time nervous. Excited because I am going to share about Jesus and nervous because I have not yet met the person. But I pray that all those negative spirit that might try to hinder me from doing my purpose tomorrow be cast out forever.

SMILE'S ENCOURAGEMENT

Once there was a man according to an old tale who was so filled with despondency that he decided to commit suicide. He started on his long walk across the city toward the bridge which was to be his jumping-off place. But he promised himself that if he met one smiling, happy, friendly-looking person on the way, he would turn back from his bitter errand.

Oddly, the story ends without answering the question whether or not the mission ended with suicide. The tale , however, poses a question, one of those haunting personal questions which pop into the mind now and then. If that man had met you, would he have turned back and taken up his life with a measure of courage?

EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE

God created everything here on Earth and in Heaven for a purpose, and giving everything its part to fulfill what is meant for man, place, thing , event ,and everything to function according to purpose. God's plan were already done long before  man and earth does not exist yet.We were already made in God's mind before we were formed into flesh and blood. God builds everything and everything the way it is because its purpose requires to be so.

To better understand the use or purpose of a thing , like gadget for example. We look for the manual of the gadget we buy to learn more about its features, design,nature and limitation, we don't ignore the manual instruction because it serves as our guide in operating the gadget correctly and  maintaining its functionality to the fullest. Same as human being, we need to refer on the bible, because it is our manual  to unlock  our  purposes in life, we have to read the manual in order to seek  our creators knowledge and wisdom on how we  can fulfill God's purpose to each and everyone of us.  .

NO MATTER HOW DARK IT IS

Sometimes along our journey to life, we stumble and crawl. We lose our control and feel helpless in our misery. We can not see the light because darkness is pulling us down. But there are times when we learn to help ourselves fight the darkness and unexpectedly we can't explain how we manage to get out of the dark. We take the credit for ourselves for those miracles which should not be the case. We missed to return back the favor and credit to our mighty God, because some people are so arrogant and fool to believe on their self strengths. Pity for them.

Remember God has never forsaken you especially in the darkest part of your life. So, we should thank Him and glorify Him, for restoring your life and for making you safe all the time and for putting you in the right tract of your life. If you face again the darkness. Believe and have faith, and you will see Gods hand will work out to carry you.

STUBBORN LOVE

Caught again - Your faithless friend, Don't You ever tire of hearing what a fool I've been? Guess I should pray, but what can I say? Oh it hurts to know the hundred times I've caused You pain. Though 'Forgive me' sounds so empty when I never change yet You stay and say 'I love you still' Forgiving me time and time again.

It's Your stubborn love that never lets go of me, I don't understand how You can stay. Perfect love embracing the worst in me, How I long for You - stubborn love.Funny me- Just couldn't see even long before I knew You, You were loving me. Sometimes I cry You must cry too when You see the broken promises I've made to You. I keep saying that I'll trust You though I seldom do yet You stay and say You love me still, knowing someday I'll be like You.

It's Your stubborn that never lets go of me, I don't understand how You can stay. Perfect love embracing the worst in me and You never let me go, I believe I finally know I can't live without Your stubborn love.

Oh, God your stubborn love is so amazing!

HIDING SINGING SOUL

This afternoon, we rehearsed  our line up songs that we are going to sing for our Friday worship. Since this whole month of June our department ( Business and Development Group) are the ones in charge to lead the worship.  Because I feel like I am not that worthy and ready yet to lead the whole congregation even if my boss is starting to trained me  I still insist and make  lot's  of excuses just to avoid the responsibility.

Guilty as I am, for it is like denying the All powerful God and refusing God's blessing to pour out into my life. Even if I know I must be thankful because I was given the chance to offer my praise and worship to God, still I ignore. Oh, God may you forgive me for this. Please give me courage,  I hope he  will give me the spirit to glorify his name  in front of the congregation.

I'm afraid what people might say about my voice. I am afraid that they might comment against my performance. My nonsense reasons because I don't like to receive negative comments,  I set aside my deepest desire to return the goodness God  is showing me from  my day to day living.Oh God forgive me of my sin.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST TEST?

God tests His children to know what is in their hearts. God's desire for each one of us is to walk in relationship with Him, to uphold His righteousness and integrity. It is proven that we are likely to fail on achieving without complete dependence on Him. The greatest tests come not in great adversities, but in great prosperity. Because in God's  prosperity  we begin to lose the sensitivity in sinning. While adversity  helps us motivates in righteousness out of our desire to see our adversity changed. We fall into a satisfaction and confidence in life that is based on our prosperity rather than on God. Had you try reflecting lately?

("I know, my God, that You test the heart and are pleased with integrity." - 1 Chronicles 29:17)

A Time For Everything

GOd said  in ecclesiastes 3: there is a season for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them , a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

God has a purpose in all of us therefore there is no such thing as accident in this world. He created us unique and he created us according to his likeness and image. If we pray and we feel that God does not listening to your cries and petition, think again. Do  not feel bad about it, maybe this is not the right time to receive your petition yet. He knows whats best for all of us.
