When things don’t go according to plan,
it doesn’t really mean something is wrong…
Sometimes it just means Someone else is in control.

Unknown Chosen
Christ was made known by those who were unknown.
“Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?”
~James 2: 5~
A Sea of Glasses
All peoples are like an assortment of mugs and cups.
Some are big. Some are small. Some are wide as the others are tall.
Some are colorful. Some are plain. Some are unique as they portray terrain.
But whoever they are, whatever the race, whatever the tongue, from whatever place,
We are all empty glasses, waiting to be filled.
THE
“Articles may seem to be harmless words,
but they actually represent the boundary between truth and untruth.”
Buddha may peacefully claim to be a way.
Allah may aggressively declare to be a way.
Mohammad may announce to have found a way.
However.
Only Jesus Christ could have so boldly, radically, and truthfully say,
“I am not A way,
I am THE way; I am THE truth, and I am THE life.
I am THE only way to get to God.”
How to appreciate a skyscraper
Amazement comes when you stare at a skyscraper from the ground upwards rather than when you stand from the ground forward.
We get too familiar with the way things are we forget to appreciating the beauty within the thing itself.
Importance over Interest
“Importance carelessly enjoys truth usually ignored by interest.”
One of the usual reasons why people today bypass the Word of God is that the Bible “is of no interest to” or “doesn’t interest” them.
The real problem is not that the Bible is not interesting but it’s rather that people don’t give importance to it.
The way I see it, we all stumble in reading God’s Word because we’re waiting for it to catch our fancy when it should be that we’re vehemently giving importance to the Bible.
We must not remain idle until our interest flares to life and then read our Bibles, but that we constantly pour importance to it so that it can transform us in ways we cannot possibly fathom.
Where the Bleeding Stops
“Church is not a museum of saints.
Church is a hospital for sinners.”
~Pastor Mark Yap~
What Others Can’t Do…
“When Christ said: ‘I was hungry and you fed me,’ he didn’t mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that’s real hunger.”
— Mother Teresa
LORD, thank you for not quitting on me, for always believing, understanding and sincerely pursuing me even when I am already pushing you away. Your love always amazes me.
“I’ve never quit loving you and never will.
Expect love, love, and more love!”— GOD (Jeremiah 31:3 MSG)
Let Go!
“If sin is the betrayal of God, Repentance is the rejection of sin.”
Are you in bondage of your sins? Surrender your life to God and be free!
“Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.” — Galatians 5:1 (MSG)
