Time is one of the most influential elements in the universe. It moves so swiftly that enable us to recognize its worth until it will become a history. “Time is the only device used to measure experiences.” We can do sundry of things at different situation at times.

Searching for my Destiny

After leaving the portals of my Alma Mater, life is but a worry-free in terms of responsibility if school matter is concerned. Until few months later, I began to realize that after graduation there will be long way to go and more trials to undergo. I started searching for my fate, hunting for a decent job to help sustain our needs. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you”( James 1:5). I was utterly hopeless then, I take a rest and sighed so deeply, while looking for a sign, but nowhere to go with my constant exploration for God’s divine will. What will be the reason for living on earth that it seems to be that I’m out of place here? I hesitantly asked the Lord, and it took a long time

In this life we will encounter foes and friends alike. They teach us to be strong and courageous in our own battles. In life we become strong when we surpass the different trials and hardships. Life is a constant change but not the genuine love of God. His love will last forever. Life is like a tough game wherein everybody losses. However, if we anchor to our game Master–JESUS, life then becomes an endless gain. Life without a purpose is just like a race without a finish line. But a life with direction brings joy and contentment. May our lives will bloom and spread like a fragrance of hope to those who are afflicted and lost sight of the goodness of God. Let our lives spread some enchanting colors like a rainbow. Its dazzling hues denote a new blessed hope to mankind after

Divine Presence I may not see you in person, But I feel your presence deep within me. I profoundly sense your comforting words in my heart. Whispering such awe-inspiring message of peace! I may not sense you, holding my hands When I’m in trouble and afraid Yet I know, through the power of the Holy Spirit, My heart finds joy and contentment aglow on me! I may not be able to embrace you, Like a mother cuddling her offspring. But through the whipping winds; I know you are embracing me with your divine care. I may not tell you, face-to-face, O, God. That I need your company; But I know, you are my constant guide, And rains my heart with your burning love! I may not be there from where you are today, But by your shining glory radiates on my face someday, Marching heavenward
Ignored by the Society

It was long time ago when my mother and I went to a legal office for a transaction. Since the transaction was finished, I moved a bit slowly and much delighted for God allowed me to accomplish it. However, I felt an abrasive sturdy impact that really stunned me. The pain couldn’t refute that somebody struck on my right arm. Upon turning back, I saw a man that seemed to be mad at somebody else. He looked rugged, with tattered clothes and curly messy hair (running down the aisle on zigzag position) while murmuring words, I couldn’t understand. He then, mistakenly bashed on me I supposed. “And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: This is what the Lord Almighty said: “Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil
The Clouds of Life

Clouds will vary in terms of type, form and color. The colors of the clouds would depend on the weather condition. When the weather is fair, it appears cottony with a flat base and distinct outlines, and colors range from white to light gray. If there is a persistent rain the color would be dark gray. This is a nimbostratus cloud, featureless layers of clouds, thick enough to block out the sun. “He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills” (Psalm147:8). One evening, I have a vision coming from the spirit of God. It is all about the “clouds of life”. Our lives can be compared to the clouds in the sky. As we can imagine the clouds looks frail and weak. However, it performs the greatest role in this world. Because without these clouds what will happen to the
The Christian Zeal

There are times in our lives that we are very much eager to do great things, after hearing God’s word from a church pastor or attending to Christian activities. This Christian zeal is still fresh that we wanted to apply it to our own life and share to other people as well. During this moment that we wanted to be virtuous and do only what is good. “The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out” (Proverbs 10:31).” We really strive hard to flee from temptation and walk in the fullness of life. Every word that is coming out from our mouth is gentle and full of respect to others. However, how long would it last? This Christian zeal is being influenced by the experiences we encounter with God’s children. The spirit of God is on fire within us and we can

Moreover, the Scripture, has the power to enhance our interests, lightens our path in life and inculcates moral values into our minds. God’s word creates a heart-warming spirit deep within us.
