Do you know how special you are in the eyes of God? Really. God loves you! And that’s not all! God loves to love you! He doesn’t know anything better than pouring our his love for you. He loves you so much that he planned a way for you to get back in touch with him. God gave his only son for you with gladness. That much he loves you. He gave everything to be able to be in a…
Usually, when we talk about the Biblical concept of putting God first, we think of choosing between God and other things/people in our life. But I think it is also choosing between you and God. We are so selfish that we think of ourselves first all the time. Even in our prayers we just let God know how he could help us. We do not seek him for the sake of him. Lord, have mercy! That’s why I truly enjoyed…
God is at work behind the scenes. In the world and in your life. No matter what is going on. God is in control and God is at work for you, in you, through you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] (John 14:27, AMP) God has not forgotten you. Rest in God and…
Are you afraid of natural disasters or living in general? Or are you ready to die, ready to live? Life sure is unpredictable. We can’t control it. We don’t know the time of the end of the world, neither the time of our own death. We only know that it will come one day. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will…
Today I’ve been marveling at three verses in Saint Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians and wanted to write a blog post based on those verses. Then I realized I’ve already written two different posts on it. I enjoyed rereading them. I needed to read them today. I hope you do too. The first one is called God loves every part of you. “We are children of God and God loves every one of us. God loves not just our…
Do you dare to bother God with your problems? Or do you think God is not interested in what is going on in your life? Too often we keep away from God because we think we should not bother God. That is so sad. So, so sad. We think we are noble to leave God to others who are more desperate for God. But, first of all, God is not that small; God is capable to help all of us….
Sometimes you hear people venting their frustrations with God. You know, they’re disappointed because God has not met their expectations. What do you say? Are you disappointed with God? The only way I can understand the statement is that God’s promises are misunderstood. Because God has not promised to give us whatever we want. God has not promised there wouldn’t be any hardships in our lives. Therefore, if God has disappointed you by not meeting your expectations, maybe your expectations…
Reading the Old Testament can be very rewarding. And I am not talking about the most popular places there. For example, this morning I was reading Zechariah 10:6-12 . What a powerful yet different way to hear how God cares for his flock. As you read it, be amazed how many times God says “I will” (13!)! It’s like God’s saying “I’ll do what needs to be done for them”. God is having compassion, gathering, signaling, guiding, answering, bringing his…
Do you know the real Self of our heavenly father? Because of Jesus, you are free to get to know God personally. Don’t miss this opportunity. Pray all your excuses to disappear. Pray that you will have an urge to spend more time with God. There’s nothing quite like it than be on a first name basis with God Almighty! With the words of J.I. Packer “What makes life worthwhile is having a big enough objective, something which catches our…
