today when i entered the house of God, i felt His presence.
even if it was just a tiny glimpse.
this whole year even if i was happy or joyful;
it was because of little materialistic things and that joy never lasted.
being in church today helped me realize that i was living a somewhat unfulfilled life.
this whole time it was always about God, never about me or us.
in Him all good and perfect things are found.
Amen.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

i drifted even further away from God, strayed from the righteous path so much more, sinned more and slowly i'm losing faith. situation seems hopeless doesn't it? i was on the verge of giving up.
but when i picked up my camp file and read what i once wrote, i realised that i shouldn't give up living for God in everything because through it all he will never stop loving me and guiding me no matter how many times i fail. i have nothing to lose if i continue trying to live for Him. it may take me a week, 10 or 20 more years or maybe more than that to feel His love again and to regain that desire to live for Him but again i say, I WILL NEVER STOP because i have nothing to lose in simply trying. also i will never give up
simply because He never gives up on me.

my friends, have faith.

frankly, i've not been able to live a very holy life this past few weeks. i've indulged in so much sin, mostly lust. sometimes i really feel like a really big hypocrite. i come to God for forgiveness every time but a few days later or so i start to sin once again. i know in my mind God loves me and all but i just feel so lost and blinded at times and i simply go on to sin. through all my imperfections, God still loves me and always will no matter what i did or do. He never said it was gonna be easy, but He also said he'd be with us throughout. we cannot rely on our own strength because we are weak, we need God. and though sometimes He may punish us for the wrong things we do, but he does so not out of vengeance or that He wants us to be hurt, but so we can learn from these mistakes. that we'd be shaped more like Christ. and though i may still fall and make wrong choices many more times, God will never stop loving me and i believe that with all my heart. though i will be punished, i will not try to avoid or plead my way out but i will accept it for it is so i'd learn and be more like Christ. i'll never stop believing that God plans for me to prosper, learn, be blessed, succeed and most of all to shape me like Christ so i can be that one step closer to Him.

Through a Christmas Musical, I kinda have gotten another message from God.
you know how imperfect we all always are; we don't bring ourselves to love our enemies, we dishonor our parents, we lie just so everything seems fine, we only come to God mostly when we need Him(like we don't even do qt sometimes, but when theres a problem immediately we seek God), we commit so many other sins.
But through all these don't you realize that it is only then that God's glory is seen.
Okay take it that we are jars of clay with cracks in it all over. God's glory can shine through these cracks so that His glory can be shown. Whatever imperfections we may have, it is through God that we are made perfect.

"Without our imperfections there would be no need for a God, and he, in all actuality, would not exist because we would all find ourselves at the same level and mental state as our creator. Also without these imperfections there would be less of a focus on the eternal love and acceptance that our father gives us. Without our imperfections, we would not need him to love or care for us and take us in because everything would be in our hands and we would not need assistance. But the fact of the matter, once again, is that we are indeed imperfect."

never stop seeking the Lord for He will always be there for us. always have faith in Him for he is good and ever so real in our lives.

"Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God."
Deuteronomy 18:13

Slowly I am returning back to my old sinful lifestyle, so far from God.
suddenly things seem to turn out all wrong like everything is against me. Could it be that God is angry with me? It seemed so much like God planned for my punishment and destruction,
I wanted so much to run away from God, I doubted Him.

But then it suddenly struck me that those were the lies of the evil one. God loves me and will never plan my destruction for it says in the bible that because He loves me, he will never plan for me to be destroyed but for me to prosper. And no matter what, the Lord will always love me for He loves me not for what I did or do, but for who I am.

Friends, we may be people of little faith.
We stumble and fall so many times, but know this: God will ALWAYS love us no matter what and He is only a prayer away when we need Him. His mercy and forgiveness knows no bounds. His love is endless.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11)
