The Hard Truth

John 8:32
"You will know the truth and the truth will set you free" 

       

       Most times in life we fail to realize the truth of the matter we’re faced with. For some, they know the truth but don’t want to accept it. 

        I may be diagnosed with a terminal disease and not want to accept it as the truth. But running away from the truth of the matter won’t change the test results either.

       That’s the way it is in life. The truth may be bitter but hiding from it won’t falsify it. We've got to accept the truth and only then can we do something about it.

       You can never accept Christ if you don’t acknowledge the truth that you’re a sinner and desperately need Him. When you run away from that truth, you’ll never be able to fully appreciate and accept the prize that Jesus paid on our behalf.

       The devil then takes advantage of this situation, deceiving us into believing that we’re alright without Jesus Christ as the center of our lives. And even to thinking that on our own we can attain morality and true satisfaction.


        But when we embrace the truth then we’ll appreciate the death of Christ and accept Him as Lord of our totality both in good and bad times. We will be strengthened to do all things. 

        Accepting the truth in every situation actually helps build our faith which in turn sets us free!

Dear Fighter

"If you are going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight"  - Eric Thomas Dear Fighter, Life has its ups and downs. There's always some good times to appreciate and hard times to grow through. So, I have chosen to be thankful for life, family/friends, love and issues (makes  life quite a story with the occasional twists), the cool job while I had it, life on a daily... Fight the good fight. Don't be a spectator in your life, fight! Fight for your joy. Fight for your progress. Fight for your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Fight to see the good in life. I realized it, and I'm fighting too. I recently wrote down some of my forgotten dreams and new goals. Now, I think about them often and try to work towards them. It's not easy, but I  have to push for it. In those dark moments, I have found that Jesus is the source of peace.  If you're losing it, it may be that you've distanced yourself from Him. The Bible says that God is leading

Dealing with Failure

Image
“No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever met someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick I’m enthusiastic. I love to be associated with success. I like to meet expectations. I just didn’t know if I could stand failing. I was afraid. I prayed and studied and kept hoping every day. I told myself that I had to pass all five of my exams. I felt that was it. Probably if I cleared them all in one sitting, I’d be more satisfied and approved of. Well, I failed one and it hit me. It hurt a lot and I felt like giving up. When I got home, I cried about it but my parents tried to cheer me up. My brother wanted us to celebrate. My friends were congratulating me. Honestly, at that point, I felt they were all crazy or something… In the healing process, I became grateful. I actua

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.
