Took Me A While

When you do the right things for others yet it is not appreciated.

I believed so many lies of satan with just 24 hours after knowing how filled you are. Have you experienced that? One minute you are filled the second to it you are totally controlled by yourself and I call this being controlled by the evil knowing that we are spiritual beings.

First, when everybody have deserted you, know that God is near. When you feel like the whole world has gone against you, that is not true. When the people that you have helped do not reciprocate it.

Sharing with you an excerpt from The Bondage Breaker of Neil T. Anderson that I read after feeling so down.

Sacrifice the Temporal to Gain the Eternal
Possibly the greatest sign of spiritual maturity is the ability to postpone rewards. Hebrews
11:24-26 says: "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to
enjoy the passing pleasures of sin; considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than
the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward." It is far better to know that we
are the children of God than to gain anything that the world calls valuable. Even if
following Christ results in hardships in this life, He will make it right in eternity.
Satan's ultimate lie is that you are capable of being the god of your own life, and
his ultimate bondage is getting you to live as though his lie is truth. Satan is out to usurp
God's place in your life. And whenever you live independent of God, focusing on
yourself instead of on the cross, preferring material and temporal values to spiritual and
eternal values, he has succeeded. The world's solution to this conflict of identity is to
inflate the ego while denying God the opportunity to take His rightful place as Lord.
Satan couldn't be more pleased—that was his plan from the beginning.

We have to be reminded that we are God's children. That we have the authority to cast the bad spirits in us. As we serve Christ, who you are must always take precedence over what you do.

Last holy week, my sister and I served the Coron people through medical mission. I shared the gospel while my sister looked at their physical well-being. But, sometimes as we serve God, we forget Him. That we are first His.

Sometimes also, I would feel like I don't belong to any group. That is why I wanted to just build friendships outside of church. But I was reminded that wherever we are, we should still be follower of Christ. As we plan for a surf outside of Manila, it is my prayer that we get to know God more and to honor God in our friendships. That satan would not have a foothold in us.

Will share some of the photos from Coron, Palawan.

As we were on the plane, I was reminded how small I am compared to my big God who created all these.
As we made our way into the hills, the plane made iwas and it made our stomachs to be uncomfy.
As I iwas to what God doesn't want to not be a consequence, it will be uncomfy
but I know God, You won't let me go as I say no.
