What if the person who challenges your unbelief... also captures your heart? ••• Written in Filipino-English || Under Revision

Carmiah hates some Christians because of their works. She lived in doubt about God. She met Yarianna, an unbeliever, who greatly influenced her and the Christian youth who were serious about God. The people she met make her more confused because the influence of Yarianna and this Christian youth were fighting in her mind. This is a story of old to new creation, being Christian youth, and serious to God. The Living Bible people are those who follow Jesus seriously and live according on God's Words. __________ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. 1 Corinthians 10:13 ___________ This is written in TagLish language.

"There will always be someone willing to hurt you, put you down, gossip about you, belittle your accomplishments and judge your soul. It is a fact that we all must face. However, if you realize that God is a bestfriend that stands beside you when others cast stones you will never be afraid, never feel worthless and never feel alone."

Para kay Elise Samaniego, wala na siyang mahihiling pa. Masayang pamilya at mabait na kasintahan ay nasa kanya na. Subalit, ang mundo niyang sintayog ng pinakamataas na gusali ay biglang bumulusok paibaba. Nalaman niyang hindi siya tunay na anak at sa mismong araw din na 'yon ay hiniwalayan siya ni Dr. James Romero, ang boyfriend niya nang anim na taon. Babalik lang daw ito sa kanya oras na alam na niya kung paano mahalin ang sarili at matutunan ang "four statements", maging ang kanilang tunay na kahulugan.

Johanna Dumay came to the city chasing a better future, but what she carried with her was heavier than any suitcase-a heart of stone. Born from a broken home, her life was marked by disappointment, her dreams buried beneath years of loneliness and despair. In a nation that called itself "Christian," Johanna found no comfort-only deeper doubts. If God was truly loving, why had He let her world fall apart? With each passing day, her heart grew colder, her soul hardening into the very image of misery. And then-He showed up. An encounter she never saw coming begins to shatter the walls around her. The life she thought was meaningless is suddenly rewritten by grace, and every morning feels like waking into a miracle she never dared to hope for. This is the story of a woman once lost beyond saving-until love Himself found her. A story that whispers a truth many long to believe: no heart is too hard, no life too broken, no soul too far gone for God. --- "But Johanna-" her voice cracked with disbelief, eyes narrowing as if searching for the girl I once was, "you were the devil's darling all your life. What in the world happened to you!?" I drew in a breath, the weight of every scar, every midnight battle, every broken piece of me pressing into that single moment. "Jesus," I whispered, "Jesus happened to me."

What if the saints of old walked among us today-would we honor their triumphs, or whisper about their secrets? Zarinna knows the weight of hidden truths. Once devoted, now marked by choices she cannot undo, she carries shame like a shadow she cannot shake-and a longing for a God she fears may no longer be there. Then he appears. David Awiyao. No announcements, no fanfare-just a man whose calm presence seems to see through the cracks in her life, whose words stir something she thought buried forever. Grace begins to move where shame once ruled, and questions she dared not ask start to demand answers. Will she retreat into her darkness-or step into a light she never expected?

Deleesha is a teenage girl who's suffering with an unexplainable sadness and is easily worried. She is not like other people who have very serious problems because, from her point of view, she believes that the problems she has are just simple and easy to see for others, but she feels very burdened. She sees her life journey as boring, with no thrill or suspense, but she is wrong because every life journey is a testimony that will be used by God to inspire anyone. She is broken inside; she wanted to drown in her sadness, to sleep forever, and to harm herself, but she is still fighting because God gives faith to trust His promises and reasons to continue this life. __________ "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. Mark 11:22 __________ This is written in TagLish language. This story is inspired by the song, give me faith.
