Where God Can't See You

Heb 4:13 (CEV)
"...Nothing is hidden from God! He sees through everything, and we will have to tell Him the the truth."
      
     While in a class in church, the instructor told us something that was quite shocking at first but very true. She said we can sin as we like. We can drink, smoke, sleep around and abort, steal and do anything we liked with anyone we wanted to.

      I was amiss! How can a believer and moreover, my instructor be saying such? But then she added ‘Do all these where God can’t see you’. And I began to wonder, where that place could be.

     We had to search through the Scripture until we found the answer: NOWHERE!

     God sees all things and nothing is hidden from him. Even if you went to a dark corner or stayed underground or even ventured into outer space to get ‘high’, He’d still see you!

     So why hide and pretend no one saw your mishaps? Your parents or friends may not have seen you but God did. He’s that still small voice that tries to draw you out of there.

     But the amazing thing is that no matter what we've done, God is always willing to forgive and accept us. Just as He did to Paul and Moses who murdered, to David who committed adultery, Zacchaeus the tax collector and so many others, He wants to do to you only if you let Him (1 John 1:19).

     All you have to do is tell Him your sins and accept Him in your life as Lord and Savior. Trust me, it may seem hard but you’ll be glad you did!

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.

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".
