He knows well!!!

Jeremiah 29:6-14 

Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord .   This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 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. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord , “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

* what God has purposed in His heart for everything especially to whom He created by His own image and breath will stand and will be fulfilled. Jeremiah chapter 29 is indeed a powerful declaration and a reminder for us. Many people question God about suffering and pain; is it part of his harmless and prosperous plan according to V.11 ? We forgot that PROCESS is one of the season that everyone must go through and surpass. Circumstances may not prove this, but in the eyes of faith, everything leads to that harmless and prosperous life. 

*There is Nothing that God planned in His heart to hurt us. But sometimes that plan  requires pain, hurt and uncertainties to test our hearts and mind and  to make it obedient to God's word. Only God knows everything.. And I/we need to trust Him ; the promise He said and through His word. 

* thank you Jesus!! 

Do It Your way Lord..

Psalm 16:2  I say to the Lord , “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”

DIY stands for Do It Yourself. In this fast and modern age, DIY or do it yourself way is a trend. It is making things on our own personal way. There are many benefits of DIY way;  you are able to save money, practice your creativity, and recycle the used, old things turning it to be more useful. DIY is fun, you tend to make things unuseful to something purposeful. Well, this can only be functional on things but never in handling life.

How many times have you used DIY way in managing your life? How long have you been doing  DIY? For things it can be possible but in life there is no other way to live this life but to allow God to Do it Himself.

Psalm 16:2 says , apart from God I, we have no good thing. One thing that God has freely given us is our free will. He allows us to decide and choose how to our lives here on earth but He never missed to remind and guide us through the wisdom of His word. We have abilities , gifts and knowledge as our resources a to make things work but it takes the wisdom and the hands of God to make our work lasts. 

It you have been practicing DIY to your life, and seeing the result of mess and no good, it's time to let go and let God. He created you, and He knows you very well. No need to stretch yourself to the limit. Stop recycling the old you, because God can make all things new. God can do it Himself to make things work out in your life. You just have to surrender and offer your life to Him. God is more than Willing to take over. Put your

full trust to Him. So, In handling your life, DIY is a no no way! 

LOVE Conquers All

Today is the Day the Lord has made!

Did you wake up to the wrong side of the bed? Did nightmares get into you? How did you start your day? 

As we Open our eyes to greet the beautiful light of the day, and had our deep breath together with a whisper to God that we may have a blessed and full day; we might have uncertainties alongside with  us. Perhaps we ended our night with a blast of unpleasant deal as we tuck our head and heart to sleep. It takes a lot of courage and strength to change the fate of your day by not allowing the past to spoil the present. Everything has been said and done; and the now gives us another kick to point. Will we be strong and able enough to face the now and keep it up? 

Psalm 59:16 

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

Taking this song of David will empower us to make a fresh start. Not just by being inspired by the letter and let our emotions take the lead, but by taking it by faith that no matter what, still we can  profess that God is good. We can  conquer the day with God's strength and by breathing within us the sweet and solid promises of God. Perhaps, what wee see around us and what we feel does not ensure us with positive note. always remember to yield our life to whom all greatness belongs.God never looks away from us, instead He is just there by your side the moment we shut our eyes in tears. He sees the soundness of our sleep or perhaps the other way, And as we glimpse the light of a new day, He is right there beside us ready to  shower us with His peace,joy,and love assuring us that today is another day and a great hope awaits us.

Take time to thank God for the breath we have and  the life that we are able live again. Recognize that we still have the life to make  things right and to see the dreams  we  believe in. Everything must start with God and ends with Him. Always acknowledge that in God alone, we have an indisputable day ahead. Sing your heart out to God, remember the days of old, we have a God who does not change and whose love remains the same yesterday,today and forever. 

Kick your day with full of faith ,hope, and love. 

God Bless everyone!

He give and take away

Blessed be the Name of the Lord!!

It was a tough 3 or 4 weeks for me. With all the testings on every side and still here I am standing strong. :) Praise Jesus!!

Pondering and Wondering

A lot of things comes to cross our mind, there may be unsolicited thoughts and some are the fruit of our longings. I believe That we have the power and the will to manage our thoughts;

Philippians 4:8 NIV

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

This one of our battlefield and there's a lot of war going on. As a well founded and trained soldiers, we  have to master our thoughts and align it to the mind of Christ. We have a choice what to feed in our minds.

May our pondering and wondering leads us to knowing the source of all. Perhaps our thoughts can't reach His greatness, it is the best way to seek and pursue Him more than anything else. We have to possess a mind like Christ have.

Thursday thoughts:)

Selfless Love

Happy Selfless Love

Beloved

Happy Valentines dira nga side

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Happy Valentines dira nga side.;D In every corner love songs are played, beautiful roses are displayed and lovers are in their best making most of the season. How about the single people over there? I hope it will not make you less without having someone on your side and to enjoy whatever this season has to offer.

As our desire grows to meet the right person that God has prepared, we must have a clearer and specific vision and identity about the person. This would probably help us to guard our hearts from engaging to wrong emotions and to the wrong one. The more we guard ourselves,many will try to win our hearts. We have to do it right in the Lord to have a right outcome. By God's grace and by the Holy Spirit we are able to stand for what is true, right and what will last.

I am giving credit to Pastor Johanna Castellanos Proenca and to the book that she wrote entitled I Love. Her book tackles about surrendering and obeying God's will over our lives even in the area of our emotions. One of the chapters of the book talked about having a clearer and more specific vision or identity of the desired partner we want [except sa name ha :) ]  and important areas that we need to consider in a non-negotiable note. Personally, these considerations helped me a lot on how to managed my emotion and how to respond correctly not according to what i feel whenever I'm facing a " deal or no deal " situation. It reminds me of how God wanted my love-story should be by starting in choosing the right one.

Some of you might think that this is more of putting  laws in love, that this could be too much. But too much will be at stake in the future if we didn't handle properly the present when it comes to making a decision. 

Psalms 19

⁷ The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

⁸ The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹ The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.

And now, it's time to take action on these. These guidelines will make us more wise and will make it more easier for us. For every point, there will be samples what does it asked for and the rest is yours to fill up according to your heart's content inline to God's will :)
