Micah 7:8

Sometimes the devil allows people to live a life free of trouble, because he doesn't want them turning to God.

Regret is the most tragic form of defeat. Seek God while you still have the time. ❤️

“Kung ‘yan pa ang magiging dahilan ng paglayo mo kay Lord, bitawan mo na ‘yan.”
          
          The world we live in today is filled with distractions that compete for our attention. May we not lose our desire to put God first in everything, above everything. Nothing in this world can ever fill your empty heart—only God can.
          
          “Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.” (1 John 5:21)
          
          Many things try to pull us away from our pursuit of Jesus, but greater is He that’s in you. Fight back! Stay focused. Eyes on Him.
          
          God is enough. His presence is enough.
          Choose Jesus, always. ✨

To someone who is in pain right now, this is for
          you.
          
          To someone who is in the dark right now, hear this out.
          
          Light is just near. Comfort is just close. Closer than your heartbeat.
          
          When everything around you seems to bring you down. Remember that there is a God above that lends His hand.
          
          You are seen. You are understood. And you are
          forever loved.
          
          Jesus loves you, weary soul. He even left heaven just to reach for you. You are precious to Him. That He will leave everything just to find you back.
          
          Whoever you are, or how great your sins is. He loves you. Nothing changed that.
          
          He's just waiting for you to come to Him. To seek Him and to seek change. Your current life isn't the way that God wanted it to be. He has a best plan more than that. And it is the kind of life that you have ever dreamed of.
          
          He had changed my story... He can also change
          yours'.
          
          You can start seeking Him through the Bible❤️

          Naniniwala ako that God gave each of us unique gifts ~ some can sing, some can teach, some can write, and others can simply listen and comfort. Pero minsan, dahil sa takot, hiya, o comparison, we end up hiding them.
          
          Parang yung servant sa Matthew 25:18 na tinago ang talent sa lupa. Hindi niya ginamit. Hindi niya pinagyaman.
          
          And sometimes, tayo rin 'yon.
          We keep saying, “Maybe next time,” or “I’m not good enough.”
          
          But what if the world is missing something beautiful because you refused to shine?
          
          Remember: God didn’t give you that gift for decoration.
          He gave it for His glory. ❤️
          
          So don’t bury your talent ~ bring it to the surface.
          Gamitin mo.
          Hasain mo.
          And offer it back to the One who gave it.
          
          ---
          “Do not neglect your gift.”
          - 1 Timothy 4:14

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
          
          2 Corinthians 4:18❤️

James 5:13 - Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. ✨

Sometimes, God’s process of pruning involves removing someone from your life so He can give you His best.
          
          ‘Kaya may tinanggal Si Lord, kasi nakita Niya na may igaganda at iaayos ka pa…’
          
          We’re growing each day through the process of pain and loss. God removes to replace. But He doesn’t remove something without the intention of replacing it with something better.
          
          Don’t worry, the process may take time, but what’s coming will always be better than what we left behind.
          
          You just have to trust God, His plan, and His process. His plans will work perfectly well for you. ✨

“You rest. God fights.”⁣
          ⁣
          You don’t have to carry the weight alone. You don’t have to fight the battle alone. Lay it down to God and let Him fight your battles.⁣
          ⁣
          Don’t let the trials and shakings of life take away your joy.⁣
          ⁣
          Our circumstances are not placed there to defeat us. They are placed there to draw us nearer to God. He’s in control.⁣
          ⁣
          Stop carrying God-sized weights. Mapapagod ka talaga. Manghihina ka talaga. We are not in charge—God is. Give it all to Him. He’s got this.⁣
          ⁣
          We have an Advocate. We’re not alone in this. We serve a living, miracle-working God, and He’s on our side.⁣
          ⁣
          Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)⁣
          ⁣
          Draw near to God. Soak in His presence. The louder your hallelujah gets, the stronger you will be. The louder your cry, the easier it is for walls to come down.⁣
          ⁣
          It’s much easier to win battles through worship, by resting and trusting God in the midst of them.⁣
          ⁣
          Stop worrying. Stop overthinking. God is fighting for you, and He has more victories coming your way. Rest in that. 

If people persecute you because you are a Christian, don't curse them; pray that God will bless them.
          
          When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow. 
          
          Live in harmony with each other. Don't try to act important, but enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!
