Inspiration

Living in blurredness and never in clarity. That's the life I had before I met Jesus. Before I made Him the Center of my life. Before I devout myself wholly to Him. Whenever I look back and see life from the way it was when I was a kid, then a striving adolescent, to my puberty, I can say I am a good child of my parents. I always do what they want. But still it left me thinking I am nothing. That I am someone with no identity.

Following Christ is much different from that, its like living the life you always wanted, being what you really are, doing what you love, knowing yourself, but definitely not thinking it is forced. God proved me that if I delight myself in Him, He will give me the desires of my heart. And so He did, He's really true to His promises. He dwell in me richly, not just financially speaking, but by giving me the best of what this world could offer, by giving me the best people, family and friends..

Sure, they were never perfect, no one does and will anyway, but I am so amazed on how God put them strategically in my life to make me a better person, a better Christian, that is looking far behind on the old me, but have no plans of going back.. I learned from it, and that's enough. All of these privilleges, are acquired only when I followed Jesus. He's alive, and He's faithful. 

How many times do I fail Him? Many times, I dont almost dare to count. How many times does He fail me? None. I proved that delay doesnt mean, God failed to come through, it means testing your patience in waiting for His right time. God's time where everything goes well according to what is planned. Time, where nothing would come my way, because I have Him, Jesus. The Best thing that ever happened to me. Knowing and growing with HIm.

 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

THE POWER OF PRAYER 

I am wonderfully amazed, I always am. On how God speak to me, on how He gives me directions, encouragement, motivation or on how He simply communicate with me that is through one of His servants, It seems as if, He's speaking directly to me, although our pastor is speaking in general.

Today's message is just what I needed, The Power of Prayer, a prayer that is answered and will get me through whatever circumstances I am facing. The message, is like God saying to me, "Child, everything's gonna be alright, cast all your cares on me. I will help you through." while stroking my head, while I'm at His feet. 

I came at church feeling so dry and empty, and I told myself "I will not get out of Your House Lord, empty handed but my heart will be full of blessings from you." And because God never fails, from the Praise, that suppose to be joyful left me crying because of its message that spoke right through my heart. When it came to the Worship part, I couldnt almost sing, coz I'm crying. Crying to God, speaking to Him, feeling His presence so near I can almost feel His embrace..

Because God is great. I believe and claiming right now, His promise. My prayer that my plans, be His plans, my will, be His will. That He make me the person He wants me to be, and where He wants me to be. I believe that nothing could come my way, coz He said to His words, "If I am with you, who can be against you?" See? That's why I praise God for everything He has given and will give in the future.

For all His plans that were all good, there's nothing more I can ask for.

This year, I also pray that I'll be more consistent with my ministry, to be more commited with it, and to be more fruitful and productive, by sharing His words, His love, to anyone I'll meet in the future. May God help me with that.
