Mandy Moar :3

Hi I'm Abegail Mandy. My heart's desire is to do the will of my Abba Father. Catalyst of faith and change. Radical since 2012.

[miyabhiemandy]

Don’t settle for a Nabal, Wait for your David.

Names are really important because the meaning of your name is connected to your character and destiny. I believe our names holds our identity, something that defines who you are. That’s why I started to go back and appreciate the meaning of my name Abegail in order to appreciate what’s in the present. My name was derived from the story of Abigail which is written in the Bible (1Samuel 25), the wife of David, a beautiful woman, full of wisdom and of good discretion. I really admire her character, because she’s a woman of faith, she even saved King David from killing her husband Nabal. She is a strong woman for me, because she faced David not knowing how things will end up. Upon reading the story there are some things that I realized that we can really apply no matter what season you are in life.

Don’t settle for something less

Nabal is a successful businessman in Carmel. He was very rich. In fact, he owned a wool business as he owned three thousand sheep and a thousand goats, but he’s character seems to be not in shape. In fact, his name translated in Hebrew means kesil which means fool. He even insulted David, he drinks a lot, he loves to party and keep himself merry. His world is revolving around himself. He is even impulsive with his decision not thinking of the consequence of his actions. While, Abigail is a woman of wisdom, but it seems that she married a fool, and the character of the man that she married. Sometimes, we are like Abigail. 

We settle for the physical appearance, six pack abs, nice smile, good complexion, tall and handsome. We think he is perfect, an ideal man for us.

We settle for the social status. We want to be with a guy who has a car, but can’t be with you when its inconvenient. Someone who’s stable financially, but doesn’t know how to handle his finances, nor how to stable his heart. Someone who came with a good family background, but not family oriented. Someone who can provide for all your material needs, give you all the expensive things that you want, but can’t serve you in times of need. 

We settle for the attitude, the one who’s kind, not really knowing the person deeply behind the facade. We settle on this areas that we missed to really get to know the person. His issues, character, habits and mindset. That’s why we ended up in a messed up relationship which most of the time we only found out during our married stage the true personality of our partners, because we often didn’t examine the person whom we married. That’s why I believe that choosing for the one who you’ll spend the rest of your life is a very crucial. I don’t want to end up with a Nabal. I want to wait for my David no matter how long it may have take. Wait for your David pray for him as he is still in a journey.

2. God is writing your story

Most of us we write our own story. We always get the pen from God, as we try to create a stories and scene that we think is necessary for our story. We keep on trying to work things out. 

Abigail might have enter a difficult relationship, but it was God who creates beauty from ashes. As she end up with King David. God is still sovereign overall. We never know the plans and the stories that He has prepared for us. Our story might be different from Abigail. You might still be with your Nabal, but reassured you are still under His sovereign will. All things work together for those who love God.

A vision of our FUTURE HOUSE

We are always dreaming of a new a house. A house that we can call home that will give us a cozy feeling everytime we go home. A house that has a wide parking slot since the one that we are residing doesn’t have enough parking lot that’s why we are having time to out our car. A house with good neighbors, less drama and gossips. A place where we can’t hear any videokes or people drinking on the road. 

We had that dream. That’s why we decided to look for a new house. 

A new model house of Camella, and of course its me as the new model. xD

3 GREAT QUALITIES OF A FRIEND THAT EVERYONE SHOULD POSSESS

Friends are people who are always there for us, and have watched us from the different stages of our lives through thick and thin. Having a good confedant is something that we should really have and treasure. They can either speak life or death into someone’s life. Their words can either make us or break us.

I just want to share the 3 basic qualities of a friend that everyone should possess:

1.  Availability

How many of us are willing to take the extra mile for our friends. To crossover the rush hour period and traffic in EDSA just to be with them. To visit them when they are discourage or sick.

What I love about Job’s friend is that they came to where there suffering friend is. They went together to Job to  keep him company and comfort Him.

We can say that we care for our friends, but we are not really available when they need someone. I know it can’t just be a basis of friendship. But friends who shows themselves available, just shows that they really care.

“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care” - Theodore Roosevelt

11-13 Three of Job’s friends heard of all the trouble that had fallen on him. Each traveled from his own country—Eliphaz from Teman, Bildad from Shuhah, Zophar from Naamath—and went together to Job to keep him company and comfort him. When they first caught sight of him, they couldn’t believe what they saw—they hardly recognized him! They cried out in lament, ripped their robes, and dumped dirt on their heads as a sign of their grief. Then they sat with him on the ground. Seven days and nights they sat there without saying a word. They could see how rotten he felt, how deeply he was suffering. Job 2:11-13

How many us are willing to go out of our comfort zone and reach our fiends no matter what the cost?

2. Listen and be Silent

Many of us think that when a person is discourage we need to say something. Sometimes even if the person is not yet done talking. We keep on inserting a word of encouragement, because we think that if only we have a word that can fit his/her specific need or situation, If only I have a quote or a verse that I can say to him, I believe his going to be better. We keep on injecting our own principle, our own religion to fit somebody else situation, It seems that its much easier to speak than to listen.

But I want to tell you that’s not what that person really need. He/she just need a friend who will intentionally listen to every word that his going to say. We have the tendency to think the more words that we speak the more we will look like we really listen, but its not always the case. In fact, we don’t really intentionally listen to what the other person is really saying, because we are so focus on being an encouragement that we forget how to really listen.

More than the words that you are going to say, people want someone who will really listen to their story. People who will intentionally ask what really happened.  It doesn’t matter how much you know or have experienced, nor a powerful quote that you’ve been reading. It doesn’t matter…

My dear friends, you should be quick to listen and slow to speak or to get angry. We must know the time to insert the advice and to correct someone. We must practice how it really is to be a quick listener so that we will not miss to really be an encourager.

3. Identify and symphatize

The next thing Job friends did for him is that they symphatize with him. They can’t believe what happened to their friend, but that didn’t move them to even

symphatize with him. They can just visit and then leave him. But they choose to stay.   They even cried out in lament, ripped their robes, and dumped dirt on their heads as a sign of their grief. How many of us are willing to cry and stay for our friends? To identify what they are feeling and symphatize with them. How many can look to our friends and feel how they are feeling.

I just want to remind each and everyone of us to be careful to the words and advice that we are going to say, We must learn to assess if our advice can really be helpful. Remember that the advice of Job’s three friends include many inaccuracies, primarily involving why God allows people to suffer. This can result for someone to have a wrong mindset over his situation. The Lord even condemened them from the advice that they utter so we must be really careful with every words that we will utter.

[miyabhiemandy]

The pain of falling short is nothing compared to the shame of stopping short.

We all are unique and we have our own potential, skills and talents, but due to some of the things the we experienced in our lives it cause us to hide these gifts and continue to remain it buried within ourselves. 

All of us have experienced in some point of our lives the fear of failure. We are afraid. We stop, we don’t try, we give up and we don’t care, but if your going to

think about it, it seems that the reason why we got so frustrated is because we tried enough. We invested so much, and we hope so much and give everything that we have and the outcome might not be what we expect. This results to  depression, discouragement, and having the mindset of stopping short. It seems so easy for us to throw away everything that we worked so hard.  You already know your not doing all that you can do and at the same time you feel like you cannot do anymore.

Its not enough, and its all I’ve got.

 We try to limit ourselves and look our limitations.The fear of finding out that you don’t have what it takes causes us  to keep something into a reserve. 

I believe this is the cause why the man who was given one talent bury it all to the ground. He should have been faithful with what God has given him. 

4 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 25:24-30

1. Potential is related to the reason why you exist.

The moment you stop living according to your purpose and potential is the moment you decay. We can pursue a lot of things but God will always keep us allign according to your purpose and destiny. You can graduate as a licensed nurse but pursue a carreer in politics. You can work at an Office, but still pursue your passion in volunteering. I believe we all have our own blueprint in life, and that blueprint is different from others. In Japanese they call it   Ikigai (生き甲斐, pronounced [ikiɡai]) is meaning "a reason for being".

We all have reason why we continue to exist today.  That’s why you can never push someone to do the things that you think are good for him/ her just because it was your blueprint.

I’ve been watching W- Two Worlds, wherein the male protagonist who’s a cartoon character brought the female protagonist whose living int the real world and story continue to evolves as the male protagonist discovered the real world and that he’s only a web toon character. It seems that as the character don’t live according to the reason of their purpose they disappear. 

And we also continues to rot and disappear if we will not walk according to the purpose that God has placed in your life. 

2.  Don’t let the shame of falling short stop you from pursuing your destiny.

We all feel the weight of  failure and depression, but  don’t let it go out of the way. Remember: you don’t exist to please other people. You exist because you have a purpose and calling to do. 

 Stop tormenting yourself over a potential you haven’t reach because you are judiging yourself over a purpose that isn’t yours.You can’t be what other people wants you to be, and you don’t have to do it.You are born to do what  God has made you suppose to do, and he will help you accomplished it. 

Its better to keep on continue to do the things, than to stop and then wonder one day how far you have fallen and how much time have passed. Its better to answer the question What should it be that WHAT IF and regreat that you didn’t do something,

The truth is we need tension in our lives. But then we resist the tension that would resist the truth. The truth that we haven’t arrive yet to the potential and purpose that he set for us. The truth that He is GOOD and FAITHFUL. If you will use all that you’ve got and work it according to its own purpose.

Process reveals potential. Embrace the process of pain, failure and it will reveal your potential. Be involved in the process. Work for it. 

“for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.

If you can only see what God can do through you.Its not complete yet just because you believe it. What’s ahead of you is much more greater than what is against of you.

Inspired by Pastor Steven Furtrick powerful sermon (The Power of Potential)

Don’t run from it. FACE IT!

Have you ever felt you are in the season of your life wherein you feel very discouage? When you feel ok sometimes, but you know deep down inside your not ok. I’ve been there. I mean I’m still there and it seems that I’m stuck. No matter how I tried to be ok, the feeling of my past failures keeps on hunting me. It feels that no one seems care about me. It seems that the reason why I don’t try enough is just that I don’t care at all. I’m tired of doing things again because there’s a point in my life wherein I tried my best, I gave all that I have, I cared so much and I messed up, that’s why I don’t care enough right now.

The last time I try and do it, I failed that’s why I’m scared to do it again. I’ve become blinded to the needs and blinded to where I’m headed next. I believe God will not make the decision of me being ok, because its in my hands. I hold the key to be happy. I hold the kep to move on and to do what He wants me to do. I hold the key to my heart whether I will choose to love the people around me or not. It takes a decision of telling yourself to be strong even if your not. To keep on pressing even though the pressure is too much. It takes you to decide, to remain defeated or to rise up and face your own battles. 

The very thing that God reminds me today is that I hold the key on every battles that I’m facing. He already made me victorious, but it takes me to fight the battles with Him. 

Sometimes we are so overwhelmed with what we are facing right now that we become blinded to where we are heading. The good news is, God is our Optometrist. He can turn our blind eyes to see again to fix our eyes to see the way He sees things. To press on towards the goal. And I believe, for all of you who feels stuck the Lord wants to remind you. “WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS?” Use what you have right now, stop focusing on the things that was already lost. The Lord has already given you everything to make you sufficient for the battles you will face and you are facing today. It just takes you if you will rise up and pick up the weapon that is already left and use it for your victory.

Commit to your post, stand and rise! 

I cannot say that as I post this that I’m already ok, but I decided to pick up what’s already left and use it for my next victory. :)

A woman taking back manhood

I’m reading a book about manhood “Act like a man by Ptr Dennis Sy.” really thank God for the opportunity to be used by Him.    I believe women also can do the job of doing the mandate in rising up a generation of men who will embrace their manhood. Men should hear this from men also, but if other man will not willing to rise and passed the baton then women can do it.

Unfortunately, the world views manhood today as having a 6 packs abs, muscles, smoke, drink a lot of alcohol, lots of girls they hooked or how many women they had sex with. Men now a days missing up the true essence of manhood. I had a couple of discussion by some men last Sunday. It seems that all of them haven’t heard the phrase of being MAN UP from their parents or from other people. I also asked them who leads their family and most of them answered its their mom. So the question is, where are the mighty men in the house? It seems that women is the one rising up from the leadership that men have passed to them. (to be continued)

Making of a Prince and Princess

DRAFT VERSION This entry was inspired by Papa Jonathan David’s Making of a Prince notes. I’m preparing my notes as I speak to Nueva Ecija this weekend and God speak to me to empower the young people in discovering their great destiny. That they are the sons and daughter of the Most High and they are not meant to be a street kid or a slave stuck in the attic wishing all their sufferings come to an end. As what Papa JD said “You are not made for the street to live like a commoner. Don’t dress like a commoner, don’t think like a commoner. Act like one who is royalty. You are part of the royal blood.”  I believe that we are born to be a prince and princess. We have a great destiny a great call and a great purpose to begin with. That’s how God has written our journey, but sad to say many of us didn’t know this because we are stuck on our current situation of being a slave, we are bound by poverty, by lacking a purpose. That’s why it is really my heart to train this prince and princesses for the palace. 

The world is full of people who are shaping this generation to fit and to be like them. One of the example is our school system, shape the young people to the pattern of thi I’m not against it.

Preparation towards the palace

1. Relationship in the house

This is very important since our family is our first ministry. The way we relate in the family, the way we behave with our parents and siblings is very important. If we are not behaving accurately in the house then we will not be prepared for the palace. Sometimes we are so focus in our life outside our family, our friends, school, community and church that we tend to forget to relate well with our family. We don’t care about our siblings and we only go to our parents when we need something.

a. You must never bring a bad report concerning your brothers but cover them, protect them, and honour their difference.

The reason why we have a poor relationship with our siblings because we always thing we are better than them. We want to look the best to our parents that’s why we tend to report bad things to our parents about our siblings. For example: You and your sibling are playing and one of your siblings broke your mom’s favorite vase. Instead of protecting your siblings that he/she didn’t mean we tend to focus on the wrong things they did to win our parents favour. That’s why your siblings hate you so much, and you think you didn’t do anything wrong. You are deceiving yourself.You must learn to live with your brother/ sisters by respecting their gifts and talents and who they are. Don’t think you are better than them because you are not. Honor their success and don’t get affected by their victories thinking your out of place. Find your own identity in the midst of your siblings.  Recognize your own gifts and talents and identity. 

Joseph is also favor more than all his brothers that’s why his siblings envy him.Learn to work with others and develop good relationship.  That’s why this people will support you.

Don't throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded.

Stop being too vulnerable

I have to admit that I’m still vulnerable when it comes to guarding my heart. I thought I already mastered this area since I often share this concept with my friends. But what does it really takes to guard your heart? Yes, I know that the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9 I know that the heart is not always right and I should not follow this wicked thing. However, sometimes I’m becoming too vulnerable, too friendly and too gullible sometimes that I didn’t notice I’m walking across my boundaries. I’m stepping out of the line.  I’m opening my heart and my life with this person not noticing that the friendship is growing into something. How many of us experienced the same kind of situation wherein you can’t prevent yourself from falling in love and eventually realize your not seriously in love. You just love the concept of being in love. The romance, sweet messages, someone whom you can open things naturally, someone who listens to your drama and how your day went into. We often fall for this trap because deep down you seek and enjoy the feeling of being loved and have someone to love back. So you see many of us are being deceived by this concept so we must really weigh the condition of our hearts and the friendship that we have. How can we prevent ourselves from falling consequently and misunderstanding the signals?

I want to share with you the things that I learned towards the journey of discovering how wicked our heart is and how vulnerable we are to fall in this trap.

1. Don’t be too vulnerable.

Don’t open your life too much with someone of the opposite sex. I don’t care if both of you don’t have a feelings for each other, that it is such a pure friendship. Yes it might be a pure friendship now, you never know in the future. Don’t start a fire by playing the matches that will eventually burn your house. Sometimes it all starts with Hello, How are you that will eventually open up with much more deeper things in your life. Those innocent message can be a pathway to be use by the enemy to deceive you and to misunderstand things. You never know you might miss him/her when he/she doesn’t message you, call you or give his attention to you, So you should be very cautious in this area.There are some things that are meant not to be share to anyone, but only to your future husband/wife. 

2.Evaluate your standards

No matter how strong you think you are you’ll just be so fragile when temptation strikes. That’s why having standard is very important as it serve as your guard line in discerning things.  Have some standards my dear.  I really beg you in this will really save your life. However, sometimes we know our standard but we often forget to use it to guard ourselves. We need to refresh and remember our worth, value, purpose and calling. 

3. Have some accountable people with the same gender

I realize that we become vulnerable because we don’t have accountable partners, or sometimes we don’t open too much to them that’s why we tend to open on others. 

Don’t let yourself to invest on that one person just because he/she is the one available. Surround yourself with people who will help you grow in your relationship with God as well as would impact your life. 

[miyabhiemandy]

There is a specific ASSIGNMENT in your life on whatever area God is placing you, but you will never be ready for it if God cannot MAKE you; and you cannot be made unless you are FOLLOWING God on a consistent basis.

Age doesn’t matter

Oftentimes we hear this statement when we are talking about a couple who have an age gap. I’m not writing an entry about love life. However, I want to talk about how often do we use this term as an excuse for us to do  the things that we want.

 AGE=FREEDOM 

I heard someone close to me said  “Hayaan mo na malaki na siya or Hayaan mo na sila malalaki na sila.” Is being old enough an excuse for you to do the things which is wrong? We often don’t want to correct our brothers and sisters because we thing they are old enough to know what they are doing and we might be accused as someone meddling on their own affairs. Proverbs 27:6  Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.

So if that’s the case can I also say to myself, its ok to kill someone I’m on the right age. Its ok to enter a premarital sex because I’m already old enough. I already know what is good and bad and what I’m about to do is the wrong thing. Its ok to steal from someone he’s old enough and he know’s what he’s doing. This reminds me of what Eve end up doing at the Garden of Good and Evil. 

The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

2 “Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied. 3 “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”

4 “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. 5 “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”

6 The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. 7 At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. -Genesis 3:1-7

We are convinced by this world, it is good, you will not die, you are not doing anything wrong. You are in the right age, do whatever you want even if that contradicts your values, moral, and conviction. Your age, experience, and status in life is not an excuse for you to keep on living on that sin.  Will you just let your brothers and sisters fall on the consequence of their actions which result to death?

Proverbs 17:7  A friend loves at all times, and a relative is born to help in adversity.

[miyabhiemandy]

Reasons why you are still COMPROMISING

Have you ever tried to ask God about the status of your heart? I believe its really healthy for us to really ponder how far are we really going. Are we still in the right track? I believe we should follow the example of Jesus as He was doing His ministry. He didn’t let His ministry to consume Him. Instead, He always find time away from the crowd to contemplate about the status of His heart. 

So as I was contemplating tonight about what is the status of my heart. I prayed this simple prayer “Lord, you know what is inside my heart, are there anything that holds me back in knowing and loving you more?” This thought leads me in writing this blog. Handling young people is not an easy job but fulfilling as I see them seek God, pursue Him and love Him, but its not always the case. There are some whom no matter what word from the Lord, advise, tender loving correction, prayer to cast still go on their own way. Its as if they are controlling their own life and filtering the things that they just want to hear.

It really breaks my heart to see people who are living half carnal with their relationship with God.To think that they can  keep on living in sin and worship the Lord and serve Him on Sunday and still do the things that break His heart. I’m not writing this to be prejudice or judge people. I just hope that this points will really speak through your heart as God reveals to you the things that keeps you on holding back on your relationship with Him despite of all the preaching that you heard, the truth inside your mind that you keep on ignoring, and all the advice that you heard from those people who are concerned with you.

1. You simply don’t want to LET GO the benefits of that sin.

God cannot deal with a heart that doesn’t want to be deal. He has given mankind an amazing gift of free will which most of the time we abuse. I believe God wants your heart. He knows what is in your heart. As what Matthew 6:24 is saying, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money”.

This verse doesn’t just talk about money but also all the factors that influence you to have another master. I heard stories of people who are still pursuing the wrong way despite all the warnings and correction that they received.  Because at the back of your mind you simply don’t want to because you are enjoying the thrill, the affection, the connection, and anything that you received from that sin that’s why you cannot move on your situation.  Trap is designed to trap you, you will never know that you are trapped until you are trapped. And many of us are trapped in a sin, situation, relationship, addiction, bondage, and you can’t let GO anymore because you are already trapped. You have invested so much on that relationship, your life revolves around that sin, you have already build connections that will be ruined if you let go of that relationship. Your system keeps on looking for that addiction, love, affection, and lust that can satisfy your heart. At the end of the day, all this things will not satisfy and complete you. 

Psalms 107:9:  “ For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.” 

Our soul yearns for many things and sometimes we keep on filling it with the wrong things that keeps on worsening the situation. There is only one solution to this and He is a person and  His name is Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can satisfy you and complete you. You are already complete in Him and you don’t need anyone or anything to complete you.

2. Its inconvenient

 You don’t want to get out of your comfort zone because being on God side requires you being pure, holy and blameless and that’s something that would cause you a lot.  Why would I obey which cause me many things when I’m enjoying this life? 

 Many of us just want some from God and we are throwing away some that we don’t want to accept. Sometimes we are focusing in the cost rather than the benefits of walking in this kind of life.

3. Its a norm

Why would I need to get out of this addiction, relationship and sin when everybody else is doing it why can’t I? I just want to try being like everybody else. 

It doesn’t mean that everybody else is doing it your action is acceptable. We often lose full sight of the consequences of sin when we fail to weigh what our sins do to God and to other people. You never know that simple sin can

Genesis 6:5,6 “ Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.”  

Please do not grieve the heart of God. He loves you so much that He send His  one and only begotten Son for you.

4. Ignorance

You feel that you are not doing anything wrong, nor hurting someone. This is not sin. It’s not a big deal dude! Come on bro give me a verse that says my action is wrong.  Its still not an excuse bro. I remember as we are studying International law I have encountered this phrase,  Ignorantia juris non excusat it means  ignorance of law excuses no one" It is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because he or she was unaware of it.

The Lord is going to deal to your own actions. 

The ultimate reason is this you simply DON”T WANT TO OBEY. I remember this famous Filipino line. 

“Pag may gusto maraming paraan pero pag ayaw maraming dahilan.”    “If you do not want to do it, you always have reason for not doing it. If you want to do it, you can always find ways to do it.”

Your heart cannot be deal if you don’t want it to be deal.

You cannot experience the amazing power of  God if you will still settle on the cheap thrills.

 I believe we all have experienced compromising and its really coming to the point of really deciding to yourself that its already enough. You want to pursue now the real deal the authentic kind of thing and that’s having a relationship with Jesus. He is the one who can change you. Its really having an encounter with Him that will cause you to never turn back. That you have decided to follow Him.

Wake up! Its rGod is calling you to rise up above that sin. He is calling this generation to live in purity and holiness.

Proverbs 23:26 “ My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways.”

It is the Lord who said: “ I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh”.

 If only you will ask. Its a decision that you don’t want to go back to the way you used to be. If only you will give Jesus your heart and allow Him to control your life. I believe we are just the one who are creating our own heart breaks, brokenness and pain. Everything that you do will have consequence. You will reap the consequence of that action in the future so invest wisely.

Don’t be too stubborn that you keep on learning things in the hard way which causes you to experience pain. Because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he discipline everyone he accepts as his son. Experience should be a learning journey so don’t miss they joy of taking the journey with Him.
