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?

I was making it complicated that's why I can't collect my thoughts. It showed how I constructed this article. Haha.

I was reminded of how I say it when I share the gospel. Through faith and this (salvation)  is not from yourselves it is the gift of God.

Faith is something that we perform everyday. As you sit on a chair, you put your faith in the chair that it can carry you and it won't cause you harm.

Faith must have an object. Praise God that the object of our faith doesn't change--- Jesus. He is the same yesterday, today and forevermore (Hebrews 13:8). After All, God is constant.

Now I understand. I was looking for God's promises more than I seek His character. That's why His character is included, because God wants us to seek Him more than the gift.

The reward of faith, less worries. 


Thank You Lord that I am sure of Your love and forgiveness. Thank You for assuring us of the things to come when we obey You and even though they won't come in this lifetime, we are sure of the joy and peace that we can only find in You. Give me faith to trust what You say and obey You whatever it takes even thought it cost me everything. Help me to endure. In Jesus' Name, Amen.



In His Pursuit,
Michelle Aquino

2021 Here We Are

I can compare my year with the Philippine Stock Exchange Index 2020. And I reallyjust want to get those candles up by being intimate with my relationship with Jesus.  I actually do not know if it is just me or I really matured this year. FINALLY MY PREFRONTAL CORTEX GOT DEVELOPED. Financially supporting my family even though they did not ask for it, managing the household while working online and battling my own life. I have actually shared some of those things in this blog this year. And as we fold the last day of this year, I just want to say that I am thankful to my King Jesus. If it haven’t been by Your grace, I do not know where I would be.  Salute to You, My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2021 is Yours. I am all Yours.  Michelle Aquino Because I do not know what photo to share, would love to share this letter from my mom in our summit 2019.

Consistency

  This would be how I would look like if asked what I would say to my younger self. Adding, I hope you obey God’s no consistently because it won’t get any easy as you get older.  Sometimes, because we know that God is Gracious, we would already spend our lives in the way we want it to go knowing that God forgives and He rescues. But as what we have been repeating in this blog, we cannot escape the unnecessary pains that we could have missed if we just chose to yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Consistency in your love for Jesus is difficult. A one-time high or a seasonal-high in basketball won’t give you the championship. It will just win you games but the goal is to not just win games, the goal is your whole self experiencing Christ and being transformed into His image.  I learned about myself that whenever I feel like I’ve had enough of God for the day, I would stop being in His presence and will just do my thing. I make Him a to-do list that after talking to Him for ...

Short

In a short span of time that I got to know Tita has really impacted my life. I shall try to share specific things here so that I get to record how she has encouraged me. The only picture we got together.  I shall start with why the title is short. We were going to minister to a place where our mission trip team went a month prior my mom and I’s visit. We were walking and she made ayos my shorts after it was creased.  That was I think the first time I knew she cared.   I am usually jittery when meeting the mom of the man that I like. But with her, she made me feel comfortable. Pero at first, natakot din ako kasi I know na di ako umaarte like kung sino talaga ako, yun ang ipapakita ko. I don’t set my best foot forward because I know eventually, she would know me and she would know who I really am. I am very takot not to be accepted. Lalo na that is my fear— to not be liked by my future mother-in-law if the Lord wills. But on our vacation time, we got the news that she ...
