It was then that I carried you

It was then that I carried you Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest When I read the verse, first thing that comes into my mind is the poem entitled “Foot print in the sand.” God gave us more than we can handle. If God did not give us more than we could handle, we will not call his name, then we don’t need Him, we will not seek for his help. We, simply, would be able to handle it all by ourselves. How can we be carried by God if we are not given more to handle then we can bare? We must be laden up with lessons to learn, trials and sufferings to the point of dropping to our knees from exhaustion that we need to be carried by the one and only that could carry us, and that’s only God! He is the one who will give us the strength when no one else. He will carry us when we can no longer carry our heavy suffering, we will just hold firm to his hand. Because God’s love will forever be with us. Sometimes we go through difficult and hard situati

Prayer Out Loud

Prayer Out Loud Pray without ceasing, (1 Thessalonians 5:17 ESV) Prayer is an act of communicating to God. By praising him, asking forgiveness or simply saying “Thank you LORD” is also part of praying. I have confession, I am not confident when it comes to praying out loud, I am not used to pray with others, I am not used to pray in public or in group. I feel stupid or funny, self-conscious when I pray in group, I felt awkward with nervousness and felt so shy or feeling of trembling down my knees, it’s a mix feelings. I am more comfortable in writing his words or by praying by myself, than saying it out loud. I believed that God gave us the sound of mind. He didn’t give us the spirit of fear but I am struggling on this. So where’s my confidence with God now? So where’s my passion in sharing his words to others? So where’s my heart to help with others? I believe prayer is very powerful tool to speak to God. Pray for sick, pray for miracles, petition for the souls of friends

To Live By

Romans 12 9:21 How to act as one of child of God? I told myself that I am not worthy, I don’t even have the qualities of son of God, and I’m such a sinner. While reading the book of Romans I consider that this passage could be entitled ‘A code for Christians to live by’. I am not going to explain of each verse because it’s going to take a lot of time. As Christian it is important that we live a life that is worthy to the Lord, that Glorify the Lord. Would the Lord look at our lives and see the following in our thoughts, actions, and deeds? It is a challenge to all of us that is for sure.  Let us ponder over the truths in scripture and let us feel challenged to apply every sentence of it to our daily walk with HIM. [9] Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.  [10] Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. [11] Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.  [12] Rejoice in hope, be pati

I AM A SINNER...THANK YOU…

Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Thank you God for your love and for your forgiveness, thank you! It seems every single day I stumble, I try myself that I should not be doing the wrong thing; I should not be doing things that can hurt to anyone. I am trying to do the best I can to get closer to you Lord. I strive to be Holy in your eyes, but I fall, I fail and it really hurts. I am in pain and this pain seems deeper than others. I always make mistakes, I get up, try keep myself happy but I can still feel the pain. Thank you, God, for reminding me I am human and I am not perfect. They remain as a constant reminder to me that not only I a sinner but I am redeemed by our Savior’s healing power. A loving God who would do anything for me, even sending his only begotten Son to save me. So I live my days and look to the promise of resurrection. I am a sinner...but I will not accept that as my fate. I know God ha

Test of Faith

Test of Faith James 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. "Lord, why you’re not helping me?" or “I can’t take this anymore Lord” How often I've say those words. Although God has helped me repeatedly in countless ways in my life, still I want to seek more for it. I couldn't figure out what those "right things". I feel confuse; I feel lost and troubled. My being impatience often disrupts my ability to be fully aware of and accessible to God's help. If God doesn't deliver his help with me, I begin to immediately assume God doesn't want to help me because I'm unworthy. Where is my faith now? This is particularly true in my marriage. God using conflicts, difficulties to know him more , to strengthen my faith to Him and my efforts to work
