Obey and Witness!

When life knocks you down,

Smile but do not frown.

Surrender to God and continue to love!

Just remember to be obedient,

understanding, loving and be patient.

For God is doing His best,

so that you can become His effective witness!

A simple realization as I was walking on my way home from a blessed meeting..

It was tiring but it's totally worth it! May God be praised! :))))))))))))))

By His Love.

I may have stumbled and fall. I may have made mistakes and things were out of my control. I ran away and isolated myself. I allowed myself to experience dryness and took advantage of my weakness. I avoided talking about my problems and I tried redirecting to other things. I denied my own feelings. I was distracted and find it hard to focus. I forgot my purpose. I was drowned in my emotions. I became lazy. I lost sight of God and His plans for me. I felt empty and longing for someone's presence. I was looking for love that I fail to realize what I had. I was broken and was unable to let go.

God will heal me of my brokenness and
He'll fill my emptiness by His LOVE.

It was then that I realized that the more I ran away from God, He would still find a way to comfort and make me feel loved. The more I avoided, the more He's leading me to it. The more I didn't want to voice out, the more He's giving chances for me to talk. The more I allowed myself to be lazy, the more He wants me to be busy. The more I dwell on my loss, the more He would assure me that greater things will come. The more that I want to isolate, the more He would find ways for me to be surrounded. The more that I wanted is the less that He would give. The more that I wanted to be alone, the more that He wanted to make me feel I'm home. The more stressed I was, the more He would make me realize how blessed I were. The wrong things I desired were the situations He purposely redirected for my greater good. Now I want to start again and I will slowly stand up. For I know that…. God will heal me of my brokenness and He'll fill my emptiness by His LOVE..

Through His love, He can make impossible things possible. He can change and renew me. He will forgive and give me a chance to grow and be better. He will allow me to witness His greatness and by His love, I will be made whole again till I'm ready to pray, love and serve Him to the best of my abilities. By His grace and in His time, I claim victory in Jesus' name, AMEN!

May God be praised! J

Say YES to GOD

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 12:24-26.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me."

The gospel today speaks about obeying God, serving His people and following Him to where He wants us to be. Being a servant of God is a difficult task because there will come a time that you have to deny yourself, you have to give up your desires for the greater good, to be tempted at times, to be judged or questioned, to carry the cross of Christ or maybe to suffer like He did, to be sent out for mission in different areas and even going out of your comfort zone just to be able to complete your task.

Obedience is difficult without the willingness of the heart. It's hard to obey if it's against your will or if you're being forced to do something. You have to willingly accept and embrace the mission that God calls you to do and that is to serve and follow Him. It all starts with acceptance, love and a commitment that you can obey and witness the fulfillment of God's promises and miracles.

The harvest is near but the laborers are few. God calls us to serve Him and evangelize the world and making everyone know of His immense love for us and also Jesus' salvation for mankind. Not everyone is aware of it and God doesn't want you to sit down and wait because He wants you to move and do your part. God loves you but He also loves them that is why He wants us to go out and spread the word. We can do something with our efforts and it doesn't matter if it's big or small.

 We are all called for a purpose and it's never a coincidence nor an accident. God brought you in this world for a reason and in order to live your life meaningfully, you should discover the purpose why you're here. God never stops in calling. He doesn't call the qualified yet He qualifies the called. Don't worry and don't be afraid because God will show and reveal to you His wonders, mercy, power and majesty as long as you choose to serve and follow Him. Are you ready and brave enough to answer Him with your Yes? Say Yes because God didn't promise that it will be easy but He assures you that it is worth it.

SAY YES TO GOD! AMEN!

God bless you!

Give all to love; obey your heart. -RWE

May God be praised!
