Just Give Me Jesus

Going from point A to point B feels like A to Z. But don't fall to that trap of satan so as not to move forward. You'll be there before you know it.

The Lord is the One who'll enable us to obey Him. Who will enable us to trust His promises.

I am now in Jeremiah and as I was starting it, I felt like it is full of consequences. That's why he is a weeping prophet. But God showed me as I go through it that He is a loving, forgiving, merciful and a generous God. God reminded me that though I don't see the future, I know who holds it. Though the things He tell me to do doesn't make sense in the world's point of view, I can depend on His sovereign will that He won't allow me to experience pain beyond His filtering fingers.

As I go through being a campus missionary, God has been teaching me to be a clean vessel for Him. Not allowing any sin to have a foothold in my life by asking for forgiveness from the people I know I didn't show Christ-likeness to and taking a hundred-eighty degree turn. Now, follow Jesus moment by moment. I have resolved to make Christ my pursuit and nothing else. Not my self, my desire (to be a lawyer), my dreams, my family but having Christ. When you do, you know you're secure in His love despite your imperfections. We'll be perfect with Him in heaven someday, anyway. This life is temporal and so, why give your highest importance to it?

God brought the people of Judah back to the promised land.

He is enough.

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 ...

Bitter or Better

Practice doesn’t make perfect… in relationships. I think every single person who has fallen to the trap of satan (I intended not to make it capital letter) that we have to try things to know what we can improve on in the future, which gives away part of us in waste in the process. All the people who have fallen to the trap would say “uhhh how I wish I could go back in that time and yell at my younger self and say, stop it, Michelle Aquino, just stop.” When we aren’t convinced of God’s goodness, we will not follow His design. When we don’t trust God’s goodness, we won’t listen to His instructions. When we doubt that all He wants for us is the best, we will not obey Him and thus suffer unnecessary pains. We are free to choose, but we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. In lawn tennis, volleyball or any other sport that gives the opponent the score when we make a mistake, they would always say, go for the next point. When we sin, humble ourselves, admit that we’ve sinned,...
