One Thing I Know!


Ever since I was kid, I know for sure that my father always give what is really the best for me. At times, I tend to grab things I want, when I was younger I pestered Papa for giving me what I want. He was so patient with me, in my crying moments he just calmly go after me and explain why he won't allow that particular thing I'm begging for. He talk quietly and pacify me with simple things that would shift my attention from what I petitioned. 

 After several hours or days, I then realized that what I really want is exactly different to what I certainly needed. Then I went to Papa and expressed how thankful I was. 

It is also the same with our Father in heaven, as Luke 11:11-13 teaches, "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to you children, how much your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"  We may not barely imagine how far he can go to give us what we need, He is exactly the God of the universe who created heaven and earth only by His words. 

 How much more if God will get up from His thrown and move heaven and earth just to satisfy those who trust Him? One thing I know, if we ask ANYTHING that is according to His will he hears us, he is able to give whatever we need accordingly & purposely, the God whom we serve is alive and He always listens.

Love Not Nails

Sea of Galilee O pinions on fake news is getting worse, misinformation in social media rapidly circulates.  People are excessively concern of themselves and malicious comments are trending online. I've sensed so much hate, I've heard a lot of demands. This brought me to pause and dropped my phone and shut it off. I'm done praying when I grabbed my Bible to read.  The Holy Spirit took me to 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 and it recites the verses of love. I can always read this passage again and again because the word love is so rich and true. Words can't express enough, totally powerful, ineffable. He illuminates verse 7, "Love never gives up, and its faith, hope and patience never fail." Love perfectly describes as eternal. Spurgeon once preached, "God is a sun that never sets." Indeed, the picture of the Cross is the best demonstration of love and truth, because it is love, not nails, what held Jesus on that cross and His love surpassed death because it doe...

Ready or Not?

Perhaps you're wanting to start a new ministry, perhaps you're wanting to apply to another job or perhaps you wanted to get serious with someone you really like. Whatever it may be, there are seasons that God may tell us we are not ready but then later on, He will let us know when we are ready. These are my common realizations in the waiting as I traced God's way of telling me or encouraging me to do something new or start stepping into the unfamiliar place. If you're one of my closest, you know that I'm the type of person who won't do something if I know I'm not ready, or I didn't prepare myself for it. That's why I think carefully before writing this piece, because we have different personalities, levels of spiritual discernment, and of course God can speak to us in various ways. These realizations I share are based on my own experience, discernment, and meditation of The Word in connection of some events in the past where I strongly sensed God tel...

Theological Guilt vs. Psychological Guilt

Note: Based on Genesis 2- The Fall of Man Seaside Debriefing The Bible teaches in Genesis that guilt feelings should have absolutely no place in Christian life. [1] Christ died on the cross to free us from the penalty of our sin, and bridge the gap of sin; we should only have to respond on it with deep repentance. Some will say that guilt-feelings is the growth of the conscience, hence it is when the moral element is experienced. Freud extend a thought that a sense of guilt can also developed from the Oedipus complex [2] , happened at the third stage of psychodynamic development, where an increase guilt is not primarily come from desire towards opposite parent but on such wishes that may produce an ambivalent tendencies. Probably, these so-called undetermined ‘desires’ and ‘wishes’ are the ones that motivates the heart and mind to act powerfully and sometimes think irrationally. Guilt as we have seen from psychological point of view, always implies an inner sense of wrong-...
