Experieng the power of God

The sermon of the pastor yesterday talked about experiencing the power of God. He said that you can not experience God’s power when you will not take a leap of faith and take the risks. During my whole travel I have seen and experienced the many greatness of the power of God in my life that I never would have experienced if I did not take the leap of faith. I cannot hold back my tears from falling when I look back and remember God’s miracles in me. I cannot fathom the way God made everything happened in a very smooth way. Sometimes I do feel guilty. I must confess that sometimes I put God in a box or I doubt His power to do the things in my behalf. I cannot say enough words how to thank Him for everything.

One thing that I realized is to spend quality time with the people you love as much as you can because you cannot do that when you are far away. Regrets is one the worst enemy one can have. So we need to treasure every moment with the people that cross our paths every day.

Prayer is the only weapon we can have to fight for the battle of loneliness and for the battle of life in general. A prayerful christian is a powerful christian. Life without God is lifeless. God brought me here I am sure He has something great in store for me.

I am so thankful for the technologies we have now. The people that we love is just one text away or one click away. Thank you God for it.

Pray for others

Do you feel tired? Down? Depressed? Discouraged? You can feel good when you do what Dr. Norman Vincent Peale did. Pray for everyone you can think of by name. Lifting up other people (even if they don’t know it) is in itself uplifting. It is said in the bible in Psalms 11:25 “Who refreshes others will he himself be refreshed. It is really worth a try. It will not only bless others but it blesses you more.

Giving thanks

Like most families, my family value to always pray during meal time. We always give thanks for the grace God provides for us. And that it will give our body the nourishment we needed. It always feels good to express the gratitude for the food. It makes us all eat more mindfully and enjoy the food more. I am sad knowing that some families pray and give thanks after they are full and satisfied. Isn’t it unfair or something? What do you think?

Strectched to the max

I have particular prayers that I am waiting for a long time for His answers. Sometimes I feel like my patience is not only stretched to the max but almost to the verge of losing it. I am reminded today that I should not let my faith depend on a prayers being answered. Instead my faith should be in God and His goodness. Wither He answered yes or no to my requests, even if He does not do it, I will still believe He is good and all things work together for good.

Million miles away

Do you ever feel like God is million miles away and is not listening to you prayers? I do feel like it today. In my low moments like this, I have to read the bible. After reading some verses, it always reminded me that God is not only there, but He is interested in every aspect of my life. In fact, He wrote the bible to tell His limitless, unconditional love and that He longs to share a personal intimate relationship with you and me.

Practice thanksgiving

The vegetales song “Thankfulness” keeps on popping in my mind today. I am reminded to give thanks to God and people is the easy way to start a joyful day.We should say a prayer of thanks for everyone and everything you come across today. No exceptions! Turn on the light and bless those who discovered electricity. Bless the farmers who grew the food you’re packing in the kid’s lunch. When you get in the car, bless the automotive engineers who invented seat belts. Bless the person in the office elevators who’s talking top volume on her cell phone. . for reminding you what not to do. If we make this a habit, I am sure that we will have delightful days.
