It’s been awhile since I write here. And tonight as I write again, I just want you to be encouraged!
I am honestly at my toughest time, where everything seems to be very challenging. Relationships. Finances. Work. Ministry. How can this be happening all at the same time? How can I manage these things? Why it’s hurting me this way? Is there any way out? Will it happen? There’s too many question that could pop out in my mind. There are too many thoughts that could occupy the spaces inside.
But the real question is, how is my faith towards God for all of these?
Kamusta nga ba ako sa Kanya?
It’s been four years since I had my relationship with God, and it has been a great adventure. I’ve known Him as a Father, a Savior, a Lord, a lover, a friend, a protector and a provider. I’ve known Him to be my everything. He showed me His way in ups and downs of my life in that four years. He is molding me into the woman He made me to be, a Christ-like one. He had shown me the path, my purpose of living and my calling for the years to come. And Jeremiah 29:11,
“ For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. “
has always been a verse at my heart. A promise that God has for me and will faithfully fulfilling every word. By His grace, even everything seems to be at darkest place. I’d chose to have my hope in Him. That my faith abides in Him. For faith is the assurance of the things unseen as said in Hebrews. I have peace in my heart that this challenges is a part of my watering so as to grow and full bloom to the calling that awaits for me in His time. Just like the sunflower, why it’s my ever favorite ones, always facing where the light is and following it’s direction. I always pray that my faith would remain just like that always facing His light. That my faith would remain following Him even ‘too many things’ are popping out around. And I acknowledged that it’s only by His grace that I could remain in His steadfast love.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, as says in Psalm 23. I trust that God will be my guide and wont wander around especially in the midst of these trials. He is my shepherd and I’d know His voice. I’d love to listen to His voice and let me direct the paths. In His voice I must obey. Even the obedience would really become hard, I pray that humility would take over in my heart.
I thank God for this very meaningful life. It hasn’t been this amazing without Him by my side. And, kung kamusta nga ba ako sa Kanya? Masayang-masaya. Payapa. At puno ng pagtuklas sa bawat salitang sinasambit sa akin sa tuwing nagbabasa ako ng bibliya. It has been a devotion like no other. Every words refreshes my heart. I just can’t explain but it is worth it.
I am not only excited about my life, but to you as well. You’ll know and feel exactly what I am trying to say if you just draw near to Him. Talk to Him. And open your life in a relationship with Him. Get and open that long stayed bible. Read it. Understand it. Hear from God. And you’ll see for yourself how worth it it is. And I pray that whatever your trials is, you’d see how God is working your life. That He has prepared you a future full of hope. And that you have a purpose. And that you are called to be a child of God. Stay strong. Do not give up, just lift it up! And stay facing the light. This I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
