Just When I Was About to Tell Him All my Shortcomings to Him, He Stopped Me…

Last night, before I slept, I was trying to write this letter for God to update my blog again but something happened:

Title: What I Wanna Tell God Right Now

Dear Lord,

I cannot think of any other words to say to start this letter but “I love You!” So I repeat: I LOVE YOU! I am writing this because I wanna say: I’m sorry, I thank You, and again, I love You!

I’m Sorry— because every time I leave my HOME (Your presence), I break Your heart. Everytim…

(Then I stopped writing…)

I know you know where I was going: I’m Sorry (reasons), I Thank You (reasons), and I Love You (reasons). However, I planned to write a long long confession for the first paragraph (supposedly!), but just when I was writing it, I stopped. I felt in my heart that I didn’t need to write my shortcomings to Him again that time because He already forgave me! He is so loving! God knows I’m so thankful to Him and of course, I love Him deeply. Awesome!

So if ever you feel you have a lot of sins to God, don’t hesistate to come to Him and ask for forgiveness in silence. God loves you and He is faithful enough to forgive you.

“Love… it keeps no records of wrongs…” (1 Corinthians 13:4-5)

The Need to Walk With Others

Although you now know that God is completely walking in your life, you still need others to walk with you, and of course, be sure that you walk with them too.

Who can live by his own? No one. Who can love without other people involved? No one. Who can be a giver without a receiver? No one. No one could ever walk on the roads of life if he’s just walking alone. A lot of people live independently but not that they live in isolation or with no companions at all. We are human beings and we are political in nature. We need others to survive even if we have all the resources available around us. We have so many needs but I’d like to focus on our need to walk with others, specifically, walking in our spiritual journey.

But before that, you cannot have the spiritual journey if your spirit is dead. Naturally, our spirit is dead even if our body is alive because of our sins, for what the bible says, “For the wages of sin is death… (Romans 6:23)”, and no one is exempted, for “all have sinned and fall short the glory of God (Romans 3:23)”. So, you are not sure if your spirit is alive and ready to walk now, aren’t you? There is only one way that will make it alive and enjoy this journey of life and even after this life that you have now. And that is only through Jesus, “the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6)”. You cannot go to the Father if not through Him. If you will continue reading Romans 6:23, you will discover that God is giving you a gift of eternal life that is in Jesus Christ.  So what you’re gonna do now is take a moment with God and ask for his forgiveness and claim the salvation that He promised by simply confessing that Jesus is your Lord and Savior, who will work in your life. Remember that God loved the world, according to John 3:16, including you, so He sent His beloved Son for you to live eternally. All you have to do is believe and have faith in Jesus. Be sure that it’s with all your heart. God knows what’s in your heart anyway. Isn’t it amazing? You can now secure your salvation!

This is only the first step to a thousand miles of your spiritual journey. Now that your spirit is alive, you are ready for an expedition. You used to have a trip to hell until you did my instructions above—until you accepted Jesus in your heart. Now you need spiritual people to walk with you. Although you now know that God is completely walking in your life, you still need others to walk with you, and of course, be sure that you walk with them too. Take time to think about this new path you are going to. Don’t worry; this is a sure path to a good life—a path to eternal life, as promised by God. Talk with people about their and your faith. Get ready for change.

For those who have been spiritual journeying, it is important that you walk with others and most importantly, with God. You can spend 24/7 reading your bible but you can’t completely grow with that. There’s no way that you can share the love that Jesus taught and other Christian doctrines if you segregate yourself from others. It is also essential to give special attentions to those who greatly need affection and care. Always be a friend for those who can’t befriend. But remember that our motivation must be “Jesusly” or “Jesusful” (got it? hehe).

Let’s us then spiritually journey together.

♥ Call Him.. Call Your First Love ♥

Ever tried calling someone whom you know will answer? Your soul faints, your heart misses him. Then finally, he came telling how much he misses you too. You listen to a song that reminds you of his promises–never failing and endless– and he keeps on whispering I love you.

How could you live without him? How could you sing and write when the only melody you produce and the only word you say is him?  Without him, you’re dead coz he is the source of your life. He is your life, your survival, your only hope, and your light.

Once, you said you’re fine with your gold, and with your silver you can be happy. But on his love, you will find more than a diamond or a pearl; something you can call serenity. Tomorrow won’t be forever; all these things shall pass away. But he promises he’ll always stay.

You thought he’s gone and has forgotten you. Flowers stopped blooming for you, no more birds’ chirping in the mornings. And as the snowflakes find its ending on the ground, it becomes the starting point of your helplessness. Coldness creates emptiness.

Call him again, promise, he’ll answer. He never forgets you, but forgets your shortcomings instead. All these things have been erased by his love that keeps no record of your past. Now stand up and have hope… the hope you used to have. Start remembering him.. call him.. call your first love.

Can’t Express…

Mere words can’t express my love for Him. These past weeks, I’m really enjoying my life. I’m so in love with God! I’m enjoying my prayer and devotional time (that’s the reason why I come to update my profile just seldom. hahahahaha…) I wish to write everthing inside my heart but I just really can’t because I can’t express much the realizations that He has given me today. As much as I wanted to share my devotions, I have to do first the things I need to do here (currently a busy home buddy me.. hahaha.. not joking…) Uhm I’ll just share them next time. And besides, I have a little time for internet because I can’t stay too long for computer (it’s just what my heart says everytime…) Ok, got to go now!

I’m In Love…

You read it right. I’m so in love! I’m in love with Christian music! I love hearing the songs of Hillsong, The Katinas, Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin and Casting Crowns. I’m so in love! Whenever I sing, I could really feel God’s presence. How amazing!

Hey, check out my current favorite song, Your Love is Extravagant by Casting Crowns. It’s the featured song in my FS play list. It’s so cool! I just can’t help but fall in love with Him. I love Him!!!!
