Happiness vs. Joy

Estela March 22, 2022

HAPPINESS vs. JOY Happiness and joy are two different things. Happiness is based on feelings and joy is purely based on emotion. Happiness is more concern on what is happening around us. Maybe someone is happy because of his promotions, rewards and other worldly recognitions. It is more on external affairs. However, joy is purely emotional condition that would last longer. We can be joyful while under painful situations, knowing that God is in control. “When anxiety is great within me, your consolation brought me joy”(Psalm 94:19). It based on deep, spiritual aspects. Joy is the result of trusting God despite of the tests. It comes from the heart of every human being who trusted God in whatever circumstances that life has to offer. It is the product of our strong devotions to God. And we can still rejoice even in stormy days. “Consider it pure joy my brothers and

Nature’s Hidden Gems God has provided us everything we need All we have to do is to recognize and heed… The birds singing praises to the King! A wonderful hymns early in the morning, Behold the beauty of sunset slowly hiding, And the hopeful morning sun rising!

A Prayer for Workers of God’s Vineyard Father God, we praise and glorify your Holy Name thank you for calling me as one of the workers of your vineyard. I know that doing this mission is no easy task. Help me to remain faithful despite of trials along my journey towards righteousness.

Estela November 22, 2021

20 Fantastic Writing Prompts Life nowadays is so much challenging. Many of us are suffering from stress and depressions. We always on guard against the unseen enemy. Our movements are so limited because of the spreading disease- COVID-19. This pandemic has drained our minds, grieved our hearts and even dried up our souls. Our economy even paralyzes and many were jobless since most businesses were closed. And many suffers much poverty and hopelessness. We need to refresh our minds, uplift those ailing hearts and invigorate our souls. Let our imaginations soar higher than an eagle and free ourselves from stress and other ill-feelings inside.

Estela October 7, 2021

How to Keep Your Faith Soaring in these Trying Times? Behind the dusk, a shadow of hope. In every pain, a new blessing. Behind the clouds, a silver lining. And behind the thorns, a stunning flower. Ernest Hemingway boldly said,“ We are all broken that’s how light gets in.” In these trying times, it is quite hard to keep our faith soaring. Somehow, along the rough road of life’s journey we become faithless. May the following tips will make your faith burning through God’s grace flowing. Thomas Aquinas once said, “Faith has to do with things that are seen and hope for the things are not at hand.” God is our refuge and the source of our strength during this pandemic. Read God’s Word- The Bible. The Bible is the perfect book that leads us to God. Its teaching is so much convincing. And every writer

Radiance from God

Estela September 8, 2021

The Radiance from God Life here on earth is not permanent. There were moments of laughter and tears. Sickness and hopelessness impedes us to move on. Fears and anxiety due to the unseen enemy flood the land. Many times we become hopeless and weary due to the different pressures while living. “I have told you these things, so that in me you have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). In spite of our troubles we can always ask for God’s Divine Guidance and deliverance from our unlikely situations. He knows our struggles and will deliver us from them all. Counting our blessings is the best way to overcome the havoc that clouts our life. There were many miracles, healings and wonderful things that we totally ignored in this life. Needless to say, that when

A Radiance of Hope Amidst Pandemic: A COVID-19 Story The world turned upside down when COVID-19 virus spreads like a wildfire disrupting the lives of many people around the globe. Everything changed in just a blink of an eye. There will be no more social gatherings. The social contact is being limited to avoid the risk of infection. We are hiding from this unseen enemy and whenever we go outside anxiety often hunts us that we might bring the virus home. We need to take good care of our health by following the minimum health safety protocols. However, in every pandemic there is a brighter side. Diamonds really sparks when buried on mud. The nature is thriving during the lockdown. We become cognizant of our giftings and started sharing it for a cause. Everyone plays a vital role in this trying times.

Food for the Soul

Estela May 29, 2021

Food for the Soul Are you looking for food that does not spoil or something that will nourish your soul as well? Then, let us read the Bible. God’s Word is like a refreshing fountain that refreshes the soul. “For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things” (Psalm 107:9). It has the power to satiate our cravings for spiritual nourishment. It will enrich our souls and we will hunger no more. In this world we crave for food that would satiate our stomach and nourish our system. But it would never last forever, we will still hunger for more food that would just spoil and will somehow lead us to gluttony. ” Gracious words are honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones” (Proverbs 26:24). Thus, seek for food that does not spoil and will nourish your soul. The Word of God

How to Forgive our Debtors?

Estela March 14, 2021

How to Forgive our Debtors? When conflict arises, hatred and unforgiveness then follows. Love and hate are two opposite terms. And it can’t be felt at the same time. We often think of revenge when someone hurts us. But let us come to think about this: God has been so good to us despite of our many sins. His mercy and grace is immeasurable. Then, who are we not forgive our debtors? We are just human and are not exempted to commit sins. Let us not hoard grudges against our brethrens. Jesus said, “Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing”(Luke 23:34). Forgiving those who tresspass against us is the best thing we need to do as God’s children. “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you”(Colossians 3:13). In forgiving others
