Faith

Give Me Faith by Elevation Worship I need You to soften my heart, To break me apart. I need You to open my eyes, To see that You're shaping my life. All I am, I surrender. Give me faith to trust what You say That You're good, and Your love is great. I'm broken inside, I give You my life. I may be weak, but Your Spirit's strong in me. My flesh may fail, but My God You never will. It's been hard for me how to draft this out. Faith. It's been a week since God assured me of a crucial thing to do.  What's our tendency? Trust ourselves and neglect God's promise because that will give us fast results that can be seen unlike when we obey God, doubt will be there.  How will we know what faith is. I've been thinking about this so long that's why I posted this late. What faith is not? Doubting what God says is not faith. Depending on yourself is not faith. Acting without God's go signal. What is faith

How much does it cost?

When we give to the Lord, it must cost us something. I am really distressed when I don't release what I want to release. I want it now. This is what's so wrong about me. No patience. When I feel like shouting to someone, I would want to. As I grew older, it became harder to control. Just think of anything that you have to control. I came across 1 Chronicles 21.

But as we all know, our bad choices will always reap consequences. But God gives second chances. Like David (adulterer, murderer) and Moses (Egyptian Slayer), God still used them though they sinned. To build an altar for the Lord and to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. However, it will cost

Take Pains

How do you trust? In business, you don’t trust, you always have collaterals because in that world, there is no such thing as free lunch. When reality doesn’t match God’s promise, it’s so easy to resort to the lesser thing which can satisfy my craving for the moment and I believe in my heart (wrong) that it’s okay with God since He promised a thing in His time. What did I miss? God’s amazing writing of how He will make the impossible to reality. Will you settle for the one who is there or the one God has told you to wait for years? If you’re like me, sigurista, my answer would be whoever comes first, I can’t wait that long! What if that time won’t come? I can’t imagine how that will happen. I have to do some things to help God out. Enk. (Buzz of a wrong answer) Are you saying God isn’t able? You know what happens with that? You’ll make it a mess. Remember, you are not God. I tried to help God out because I thought that if I won’t do anything, nothing will happen. The pro
