I Live for God. God Lives in me.

Young people tend to be timid and shy to say what's on their mind because they think that they do not have enough knowledge and credibility to deliver a message. But then adults tend to think that because of their age, they know things better than those younger than them. Realize where wisdom is coming from. It's coming from God alone and the Lord can use both young and old, it doesn't really matter, to deliver His message or do something for Him. So young people do not need to fear and adults must not be too proud. All Wisdom comes from God alone.

Last June 4-7, 2013, Emmanuel's Christian Family Life Ministries conducted the Operation Christmas Child Program. It is a program wherein Children are taught about Jesus Christ and they will be receiving donated gifts in shoe boxes. During these days, classes have already started so it is very hard for us, the Sunday School teachers, to compromise with the schedule of the kids. We weren't able to make them go to church for almost a week to attend the teaching program anymore. But this didn't stop us either from pursuing this activity. Instead of making the kids go to us, what we did is to go to them. Our head Sunday school teacher assigned us to different places to teach, some have partners, some didn't, depending on the number of children we are going to teach. Since I only have less than ten students, I was assigned to go alone in Sitio Parugan. I didn't know if I will consider myself blessed  that time because the venue where I will be teaching is the ho...

Worry makes us do things against God's plan. We try to disobey the Lord because we think that He's not doing anything. When we worry, it lessens our TRUST in God and we question His ability to keep what He says. And then we try to solve our problems on our own. We are leaning on our own understanding. We do what we think will be the solution. And the result will always be worse. Do not worry and trust God. Do not feel insecure because even though sometimes we don't see and feel God's actions in our problems, knowing that the Lord is with us is already the highest security we can have. He'll do something, just obey, wait and see.

Gen 50: 20 "... God turned your evil into good to save the lives of many people which is being done." Psalms 7:1 "Lord my God, I trust you for your protection. Save me and rescue me from those who are chasing me." The Lord allows problems and bad things happen to our lives but it doesn't mean that He leaves us with it. God is a God of Rescue. The Lord saves us, Sometimes we just have to endure, wait and keep our strong faith. Because surely, we will see how and why things happened the way they do. Do not worry and be frustrated in waiting for God's solutions, it may not come right away but it is always in His perfect timing.

Genuine Love “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstances” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 When you ask different people from different walks of life with different beliefs if they know what love is and how to love, almost a hundred percent would probably say yes. But do we really know what love is? There have been a lot of definitions depending on a person’s perspective of love. But one thing is common to almost every person here on Earth; they choose who to love and what to love in a person. In order for us to learn how to love our neighbors, we must first know what love really is. And the best way to understand it is to seek for the one who started the love here on Earth, t...

“Tired for Doing Good” “Don’t get tired of doing what is good. Don’t get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.” -Galatians 6:9 Sometimes, doing what is good and pleasing to God may seem tiring, even boring and less adventurous. Or maybe you are doing it for so long that it seems so ordinary. No matter what kind of person you are, there will come a time that temptations will come. You will experience great curiosity on things you weren’t doing before. May it be for better or for worse. Sometimes, we feel that we are doing everything good yet no one even bother to thank and appreciate us. Discouraging isn’t it? During these times, let us go back to the beginning of everything, the cross. On that Cross, where so much love was given just for us. For us, sinners, wrong doers, impure, hard headed, boastful. Jesus never got tired on carrying that cross, because it’s the will of the Father for His people, because it was neede...

ENVY “Then I observed that most people are motivated to success by their envy of their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless, like chasing the wind.” Ecclesiastes 4:4 It is a fact that we don’t always get what we want. Sometimes even when we already have almost all the good things there will always be something you do not have that unfortunately, you will see in other people. The initial reaction to this is envy. We became envious because we think that life is unfair. Others may think that it isn’t envy, its motivation. Because we see what our neighbors have over us, we tend to do everything just to acquire what others have or what others had become that we envied. And then, we call it “AMBITIONS.” Isn't it wrong? That we replace envy, by the word Ambition? Ambitions are   strong desires to do or to achieve something  while envy is a painful desire on what others have. When you want something and you do everything to reach it because others have it and it ...

The best family that God gave me. Not perfect but by the Power of the Holy Spirit that unites us all, we are all serving Him together in all circumstances of Life. To God be all theGlory!

“Eternal Beauty” “Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.” -1Peter 3: 3-4             Being in the middle of my youthful days, I always experience the pressure in making myself beautiful and fashionable just to follow the trend set by famous and beautiful models and actresses. Clothes and hairstyles are being copied from anywhere just because it is the trend today. The next few months or weeks, the trend today will no longer be new and there comes another set you will have to follow if you want to be up to date in what’s happening in the present. This is the cycle of being fashionable nowadays. The mindset of every girl is like, if you are beautiful, you have to draw the attention of the crowd. In order to get...
