Every Gift Comes from God!

-
"Every good and perfect gift comes from above coming down from the Heavenly Father of the Heavenly Lights." James 1:17

Often, we get frustrated when there are times that we feel that God does not answer our prayers. We ask for something, we get a different one.This frustration leads to giving false judgements in terms of God's generosity. We feel that God is not on our side, He does not want to bless us, and so on.


Friends, God's generosity can never be questioned. His intention of giving what is good for us is always a given fact. Recognize that God uses anything and everything just to give us what we really need, and not just simply what we want.


Parents, in making sure that their child grows to be very responsible and appreciative only gives what is best for their children - what they need and not just simply what they want.


God knows what is best for us. That is why we can boldly declare that anything that comes form God is good. He created the world filled with so much goodness in it. Today, may we realize that there are times that we encounter bad experiences, failures, etc., but this doesn't mean that God is not at work in your life. In fact, those are the times that God wants to bless you and be with you even more. He only wants what is best for you, nothing less!


God's will and plan for us is nothing less but good.

Fear Not!

We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 As they say: "Love makes the world go round." We are faced with the sad reality that our world is currently plagued with wars, hatred and fear. Lots of lives are scrificed day after day. A line from a song comes to mind: "What the world needs now is love, sweet love…" Let us remember today that we are born out of love, thus we are made to love. Love keeps our relationships and our lives intact. And every waking moment of our lives, we are loved completely in more ways than one. In return, there is a beautiful call for us to love every single person we meet each day. The challenge for us is to find out how we can spread and show love even in the most simple ways possible. It doesn’t have to take grand and complicated actions to do so. Little by little, day by day, we should make a conscious decision to love, and make it a habit . Today, ask and seek God who will never, ever get tired of lovin

God endures forever!

“For he is the living God    and He endures forever; His kingdom will not be destroyed,    His dominion will never end. He rescues and He saves;    He performs signs and wonders    in the heavens and on the earth" (Daniel 6: 26-27) Anywhere we go, there will always be people who will proclaim and declare that the world will will finally come to its end. Some say it will happen on 2012, others, earlier than that.  Either way...we cannot honestly say when this day will come. We are constantly reminded in the Scripture that we should expect the unexpected. We should always be ready and prepared for what is about to come. Today, we are assured that God endures forever! And having this in mind, there is nothing for us to fear...even death. God is beyond that! God is more powerful than that! He is a big God! God's love endures forever! He reigns eternally! He is at the throne! He is our Father, and our Savior! Are you prepared to receive God's enduring love? Pray

Sleep Soundly

"In peace I shall both lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me secure." Psalm 4:9 Heve you ever experienced difficulty in sleeping mainly because a lot has happened in the day and you just can't get your mind out of it? It gets a bit frustrating, isn't it? No matter what you do, your mind is so bothered with a lot of things and it just wouldn't stop. Maybe it's time for you to have a shift in your thinking. Maybe it's time to set your worries aside.  You have done all you can throughout the day. You deserve a good night's sleep. And that peace can only be achieved by surrendering all your concerns to God who is more than willing to take that away from you. He will give you peace of mind and heart. He promises that he will never abandon you no matter what. And that alone should remind you that you are always secure in His loving presence. Father, I lift my concerns to you with great trust and confidence knowing that you will giv
