We Have a Big God




Yehhhhh!!!...It's my third blog for 2011. When I was about to write my draft for this blog, I already had a title and a topic in mind but when I started writing, It seemed like I was guided to a different topic.I believe God is speaking to me through this..:)so here it is...

It is NOT always a great day, that's the reality. Reasons could be heartbreaks, Frustrations, Illness, Financial crisis, etc. and I could say they all fall under to a one word called "PROBLEMS". It could be small or BIG, it doesn't matter. Still, They are problems and we are affected by these in our daily life.

We, most of the time, look at our problems or struggles in life as obviously hindrances in moving forward. It is so difficult for us to claim that there would be Light after darkness or allow ourselves to see these problems as signs that there'd be better things to happen. We usually let these problems block our views in seeing the bigger picture or wider screen.

One example is a black DOT on a wide Whiteboard. What we immediately notice is the DOT and not the board. We focus on the DOT and that's what we only see. Our Life is commonly faced with this kind of situation. The DOT could be our Problems and we sometimes let these problems pull us down. We are now having a hard time to go back and move on. We forget to see the bigger Scene, the WHITEBOARD, our GOD. We cannot see that greater things have yet to come. WE can't see huge success or brighter future. We cannot see the Beauty of LIFE because we forget to look and include God in our daily battles in Life. Always remember that GOD is BIGGER than our problems. "We should not tell God how big our problems are, tell our Problems, how big our GOD is."
Our Problems are nothing compared to How great our God. God will always make a way. God will Provide and He is a God of Healing. Just trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Of course, there will always be trials even We are with God but with Him, we are rest assured that we'll live at peace. Trials may come after trials but we will always be lifted up to overcome those. God said, Do not be Afraid so stay Still. If you've problems or you're going through tough times, look at the bigger Picture, God is just there waiting for you. Come to Him and surrender everything. Be a VICTOR and never a VICTIM.

God Bless everyone.

A Test of Faith



Hi! It's Blog time once again. My second Blog for this year (2011). I just wanna let these thoughts and feelings out. Through this blog, I would just be like talking and releasing my emotions. I know a lot of you had this experience and could probably relate to this. So let's start.

First of, I wanna ask this queation, Were you in a situation where you want something, you ask for it to God and You'll do your best just to have it? But it seems like you're not receiving any answer?

This I think a common struggle. I desire for something. I thought this is best for me. I wanna do it. I wanna have it?...it could be material things, career, abundance, breakthroughs or whatever it is. But it's not happening, I'm not receiving it. I'd feel disappointed and forgotten. Then I ask, Why?...When?...what else can I do?...I also try to answer, but with only all "MAYBE's" and end up still questioning.

Maybe, it's not really for me or I don't deserve it? Maybe, It's not the right time? Maybe, my best wasn't good enough? Or..Maybe, I'm into a test that I should prepare myself and make sure I am ready to receive it?

This kind of trial can be experienced anytime or in every day life. But how are we going to react with it? how are we going to overcome it? and how are we going to hold on to what we call "FAITH"?

I, most of the time, force it, simply because I want it right away. But it's not the way it is. There should be reasons and reasons can only be revealed by God. I may not know it right now but this will surely lead me to realization later on.

Faith is what I needed. My Faith to God. 'Coz in Faith comes Trust and Patience! I put my trust on everything I desire to God and I will Patiently wait for His desire also for me. I have to Hold on to my faith 'coz I know with Him, The best awaits and That's what I deserve. I also have to accept that I can't do it alone and I am nothing without Him in the first place.

To have Faith is to believe that God will provide, will guide, will give strength and that through Him, nothing is impossible.

To have Faith is also to become a Fighter, a Survivor and a Victor of Life's battle.

Why should I lose my patience or force it now when I already knew that holding on to faith, these would be my benefits. And to hold on to my faith is also to hold on to God's promises that all things gonna be alright. Every time this personal crisis arises, or I may be down at the moment, I believe I'll definitely be lifted up 'coz I have God Whom I have Faith.

I just have to always set that on my mind and put it on my heart. Of Course I can't just simply sit down and rely everything to God. I've got to do my part. I am called to do what is best so I also have to strive hard to receive my heart's desire.

I'm living an imperfect life and I think most of us do. Everyday is a struggle so I have to step up in Faith. With all these, I can still say I am blessed! I live a happy life by the Grace of God.

I'll sum this blog up thru a realization that "without God, I am Nothing, but With Him, I am everything".

This makes me forever grateful to have God in my Life. I find Joy. I appreciate things. I live my life one step at a time. Live life to the Fullest. I didn't actually find Him, He found me so I'm thanking Him for being always with me. Thanks for this gift, thanks for this Wonderful Life! It's like the longer I live, the more I appreciate the beauty of it.

So If u ask for something. Say it in Prayer to God. God knows your heart's desire and he wants the best for you so Hold on to that. Don't allow negativities to eat you. Just always have positive outlook in life. You should be faithfully waiting and be ready for the time of Harvest.

Enjoy Life! Keep the Faith! God Bless!
