"Whosoever Will... Can Come Home Tonight..."

"Make Today Count"




There's only one absolute assurance to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and lord : Eternal Home for you and me...

In Heaven, there are no more goodbyes; no more paying bills; no more sorrows and sicknesses. I don't know your personal relationship with the Lord or have been separated from God because of willful disobedience and many other factors that may have kept you feeling irrelevant & unworthy. But just come home tonight...Jesus is waiting for you to make Him your Lord & Savior.

Don't let these feelings of unworthiness & self-condemnation hamper you from knowing Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who is able to provide any need we have; Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals and Jehovah Nissi, The Lord our banner--the One to wage warfare on our behalf specially with our carnal nature. 

The most painful experience one could ever have while still living on this earth is one pretending to be "all together" and happy without the Spirit of the lord as his or her constant Guide & Counselor. You may feel like "dangling above oblivion along the razor's edge of joy" but we have the God that heals your deepest wounds. 

In Matthew 11:28  (KJV) says: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 

"Forever" Praise & Worship

        This song has brought me more than an epiphany: listening to good Gospel music is one of the powerful blessings in regard to my walk with the Lord. It connects my heart & soul to Heaven's treasure--eternal salvation. It reminds me where to put my faith and my trust--solely to God.

The rain may come in your life in the form of doubt & fear that will  begin to attack your faith. But you know who is greater than all of our weaknesses--Jesus Christ. 

"He really does inhabit the praises of His people..."

One of the Best Gifts You Give Yourself...

I Caught Myself Off Guard Today...

Sometimes I think God has a special way humoring my seasons of personal aches & sorrows throughout my life. It took me a very long time to finally see my own spectacles & downfalls and gave it all to Him--my past, today, and tomorrow. My rebellion of chasing over wrong desires, dreams, people & things-- rested. I no longer subscribe pragmatism, neither influenced by others' mythological/secular ideology. That's liberating & empowering.

Once you surrender to the will of God, you experience innate beauty, unspeakable joy, peace that passes human understanding, infallible love that only the power of God's grace can pour them in you; in all of us if we let Him be our Only guide. 

So, there was a moment today I caught myself remembering a special birthday. Honestly, I couldn't be happier of how things had turned out, in retrospect. I can say this now that one of the best gifts you can give yourself  is the wisdom of self-control. Saying no to fears, no to temptations and the ability to brace yourself with boundaries- is a gift in itself. Just imagine if we all practice conscientiously to not give- in to any form of infidelity, adultery, promiscuity; to the outbursts of anger & foolish pride, just to  name a few? I certainly believe that having self control would foster family relationships and most of all will save us from taunting regrets.

What would have happened if Moses in the book of  Exodus did not strike the rock with his rod?
His growing impatience that has led him to lose his self control could have been prevented. Easy for us to point a finger or judge--we weren't even there to see how Moses could have been pestered by constant complaints, squabbles, and murmurs of the Israelites. But in the eyes of God, losing control especially when He chose you to lead is not warranted by excuses. But God's love extends wide open--The Lord still let Moses see a glimpse of the Promised Land flowing with milk & honey as a result of losing his temper. 

"I Come To Tell You That Jesus Saves..."

It never ceases to amaze me how much a  song could tell a true story of pure redemption.
Have faith of what Jesus has completed at Calvary Cross. Today I come to tell you that He is alive; that He is the only Way, the Truth and the Life. Once you have accepted Jesus in your heart as your personal Savior and Lord, the Bible says that "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things are passed away; behold, all things are new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

 You may experience tribulations but these challenges will bring you assurance of victories because you will go through these trials with His grace.  Isn't that an awesome promise from our God almighty not from any man-made secular doctrines and dogmas that are volatile with multifaceted changeable meanings?
Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

Today is a life-changing opportunity to make Jesus your personal Savior & Lord of your life. 

I am believing in Faith that this song ministers to your soul.

"My Chocolate Lab Turns Nine Today-- in Human Years..."

         
       Nine years ago today, my Cocoa was just a puppy. She is one of the surest coincidences in my life that has become a blessing I count & treasure everyday even in my sleep. I loved her then but I love her so much more now. Never thought a dog can really be more than a guard dog-- a companion, and a good friend.

Cocoa has turned my life around...She made our "walks" at the park or in the neighborhood something to look forward to--always an adventure..She has this zest for the outdoors. I do too. The only thing I have deprived her of is taking her to the lake and swim for her pleasure. May be one day soon, I'll take her.

In human years, my Cocoa is 61 years old. That scares me to death. That means I only have a few years left with her. She has started showing less agility in every way. The only time that she really perks up is when she sees me putting my walking shoes and next will be getting her leash down and couldn't wait for us to get in the car. 

So after walking this morning, I took he to get a nail clipped at Petsmart,  bought her a new collar and gave her a nice bathe for her birthday. With that, she was so content and relaxed the whole afternoon. And that made me feel so relieved and fell asleep in the sofa. 

I and Cocoa are still building memories together. She has enamored my life with her special kennel "tricks & treats;" her loyalty & obedience to me and her unconditional commitment to love me. 
Now I truly know the truth of the saying that, " a dog is a man; woman's best friend!"


   

"I See Grace..."

    This song will definitely usher you to be in His presence. A hardened heart will be softened...Only His grace can do that. Today is an opportunity to make things right.

Have a Blessed Saturday
