If anyone press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles. Matthew 5:41 To help someone is truly a fulfilling and a noble thing to do. It is one of our ways of sharing the gifts God has given us. But have you ever experienced helping out to the extent of going out of your way just to do so. Did you feel happy? Or did you feel a bit annoyed doing so? Did you ever experience regret at some point? Truth be told, there would be times that we would feel disappointed in lending an extra time and an extra hand in doing so. But to shed light into this, remember that helping out is never a bad thing to do. We are all called to help each other out in times of need. Even when it means exerting an extra effort to do so. However, always remember that as humans, we have our limits. And that is something we should all learn to respect. Help, extend an extra hand and time, but never ever forget that there is a limit as to your helping hand can go. Too much help may lead to ...

Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. Matthew 10:8 Have you been blessed lately? Doesn't it feel great when we experience God's grace through His abundant blessings? God is a generous God. He can never be outdone in generosity. And He is showering us with all the blessings that we need every day. Without cost. We do not need to pay for the graces we receive from Him daily. And that alone is enough reason for us to be thankful everyday. And one way that we can give back to God for all this generosity is by being generous as well. Today, we are reminded that we are called to be generous just as God is generous. There are a lot of people who are in need today. And our mission is to spread the grace of God, in any way possible, to them. Without cost. Father, teach me to be generous each day. Thank You for your everlasting grace that fills me up each day. Lead me to people that I can share this blessings as well. Bless me more each day so ...

"Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." 1 Kings 18:41 Is there something lacking in your life right now? Have you been praying for something for so long already and it seems like nothing is happening? Each day just seems like a drag and nothing seems new? It may seem gloomy and dark in your life right now, but there is nothing for you to worry about. Why? It's because an overflow of blessings is coming your way! Yes! You saw it right! Overflow!

Today, be secured in the fact that God promises that He will lead us to the right path. He is our travel buddy, our constant companion, our help in time of need. He knows the way, for He is the way .

"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...

"As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in the mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things." Ecclesiastes 11: 5 Do you ever have moments wherein as you take your daily walk or travel to work or school, you just look around and just be in awe with what you see around you? Do you ever take a moment to just stay and sit at a nearby park and just listen to the beautiful harmony of the chirping birds and watch as the trees sway with the wind? Friends, everything that we see around us, everything that we experience, we owe it all to God. And just to note, He is truly an AMAZING God! (Amen?) Could you just imagine how powerful He is to have created such marvelous things? And all of these He did for one reason alone:  ...out of so much LOVE. Yes. Love is the reason for everything that He created. And that includes YOU. You are created out of the unlimited and overflowing love of God. So d...

"I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that fully well." Psalm 139: 14 In life, we have to understand and accept that not everyone will like us. Some people that we work with or live with will, one way or another, reject us or say things that will put us down. But get this: People may reject us, but GOD accepts us . He does... ...every single day of our lives... Why? Simple. He created us. He knows us very well. And we are His prized possessions. Nothing in this world can take that fact away from us. So, did a rejection from someone set you back from living your life? Think again. There is someone who loves and accepts you for who YOU really are. He is our Father. He is our Creator. God. Prayer: Dearest Lord, I offer You my unending praise and thanksgiving for the gift of life that You bless me with everyday. I thank you that I have been made in Your image and likeness. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and acce...
