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!

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

While We're Waiting

James 5:7-8  “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”     Time after time, school goes on a really long break and I have to travel back home. I end up staying at for months and I'm always complaining of the same old thing that plagues most of us: BOREDOM!       I have nothing to do for fun, hardly any friends around and there's always a chore to do which all bores me to tears.      However, someone said something in a Church Class that caught my attention. He said "We're bored because we don't want to think and work. We can't complain of boredom when we're busy".

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.
