Accelerate: Go. Grow. Glow.

Accelerate your life. Constantly go to God and surely you will continuously grow in every area of your life and the people around you will see the glow in your heart.

Exhausted. Empty. Crushed. Confused. Broke. Insecure. Hopeless. Life is difficult!

.

Heavy words? Not anymore!

Now that we have encountered Jesus, we know that when we are being emptied it is because God wants to fill us with new and better blessings and when we are stretched, He just wants us to grow. So now, when life throws us dirt it’s okay. We simply shake it off, shake it off, and shake it off; and use it as a platform to step upon until we emerge victorious.

We are living in an era and area where almost everything is instant, where people are mobile, and where the demands and dynamics of daily life have evolved with time. At one point, we have become slaves of our work, unhealthy relationships, financial incapacity, family issues, personal insecurities, or other problems that dry our spirits.

We have become stray, hungry souls in the modern jungle of glass-and-steel skyscrapers of the present world.

Walking down the memory lane, our experiences a month, a year or years ago may bring pinch on our hearts, deep breaths, or tears in the corner of our eyes.

Thanks to our merciful and gracious Father Lord God, He called us in ways and times unexpected to give us new and better lives for us to do good and enjoy blessed lives. (He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. ~ Titus 3:5)

Through our transformation, the jungle turned into a mecca of love, care, and enlightenment that propelled us to do our best to become obedient to God’s word, to have better relationships at work and at home, and to be channels of God’s blessings wherever we go.

We now have new and better perspective about life and reinforced Christian values.

Breakfree! Move forward!

Whether by responding to a friend’s invitation, reconnecting with God due to necessity, or personally choosing to renew personal relationship with God, it is by no accident that we are transformed. We were all hand-picked by God and are now renewed in spirit and heart. It’s just up to us how we will remain in Him.

We are all works in progress!

Embrace your potential not your past. (But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ~ Philippians 3:13).

“Your past does not define you. God can take all your imperfections, so don’t stay there,” shared by Randy Borromeo.

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Remember the old days—what you were thinking of and how you were feeling.

Look at yourself now! People may know your transformation, but only you can truly tell how your life has changed. Perhaps, you have already moved forward and are now aware of your bigger and brighter life ahead.

When we listen to God’s word and make good use of our blessings—time, talent, and treasure—we feed our souls and nurture our life in general.

Accelerate your life. Constantly go to God and surely you will continuously grow in every area of your life and the people around you will see the glow in your heart.

Be Jesus’ torch-bearer. Listen to His voice. Respond to God’s call and reflect the light of Jesus’ wherever you go.

Accelerate your life! Move onward and upward.

 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11

The Power of 'Pure'

Purity could mean a lot of things. But in Christian parlance, it simply means GIVING YOUR 100% TO GOD!

Yes. “Simply!” Just three steps.

God simplified things for us so we can all enjoy the best gifts He prepared for us.

Firstly, PRAY EVERY MOMENT (1 Thessalonians 5:17). God is a loving Father and zealous friend. He wants to be constantly in touch with us. What is it you want to happen? Tell Him! With a trusting and grateful heart, claim your prayer! Make it your mantra. Everything is possible for him who believes (Mark 9:23). Pray anytime, anywhere, whatever you’re doing. God doesn’t care. He is everywhere (Psalm 139:7).

Secondly, SUBMIT IN EVERY AREA. Zacchaeus the tax collector (Luke 19:1-10) and Peter the persecutor (Acts 9) received salvation even before they practically submitted their ways to God. All they did was simply sought Jesus and said ‘yes’ to Him. The rest was Jesus’ love working in their lives. God knows what is best for us. The easiest and most convenient way for us to receive and enjoy the His blessings is to submit ourselves to Him. Let us not cheat and deprive ourselves of God’s gift of amazing life.

Thirdly, LOVE IN EVERY ACT (1 Corinthians 16:14). We hold the ultimate key to an amazing life. The key to heaven and earth is within us—love is within us! God commands us to love Him above all and love our neighbors as ourselves, and we will live (Luke 10:27)! Love even the most unlovable persons. Love is the mother of all great feelings; it can transform any hard rock into a soft ball of cotton candy; it is the main concoction to successful relationships; it is the ultimate power that heals. If your love is not reciprocated, rejoice still! You will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous (Luke 14:14). Nothing is wasted in love. In the end, the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love (Galatians 5:6).

Purity of heart is best manifested in the action of someone who knows no one is looking—except God. Purity of heart breeds the positive feelings of peace, gratitude, and love—the force at work behind every miracle, blessing, and healing.

Seems like yesterday...

I so miss filling up the pages of my blog and unfolding my thoughts and feelings through writing.

The past few months were full of colors and stories to share.

One thing i can say right now...

When you submit to God, He will meet all your needs and wants in His perfect timing... and nothing is lost in Him, for he is the great Restorer, even of what you think is lost time.

I submitted myself to His Ministry of Justice.

For the coming stories, articles on the goodness and benefit of His law will be added to our story list :-)

Have a great and meaningful life!
