Real Peace

Estela January 27, 2019

God send forth peace that this world cannot offer. Peace emanate within in our hearts. It is a blessed peace of knowing God and His goodness to us. Peace will only takes place when we are living in the truth and following an example of Christ Jesus, who is the Prince of peace. Peace is the beginning of all the wonderful things in life. “Where there is faith, there is love; where there is love, there is peace; where there is peace, there is God; and where there is God; there is no need,” Leo Tolstoy quipped. Peace is not the availability of our basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. It is not the absence of war and misunderstanding. Peace does not commence when we are successful, famous and powerful. Honor, fame and material success are not the foundation of real peace but the beginning of pride

How do We Live?

Estela January 13, 2019

In the Bible it is stated that no one is righteous not even one, all have sinned since the beginning of time. “The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind, to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one” (Psalms 14:2-3). We committed sins by what we think, say and do. Sin is usually the offshoots of our desires for worldly things. However, let us not take sins merely the reason for lurking our lives into various wicked thoughts and evil desires rather we must strive hard to live a Godly life. In this world, we lived accordingly because we are given the freedom to do whatever pleases us. Unfortunately, behind every freedom that we have, a great responsibility goes with it. Mother Teresa once said, “Not all of

Love Quotes

Estela November 15, 2018

Love is the reason for our existence. God created us because He first loved us. God’s love is beyond description and without any condition. Love knows no limit, it is beyond words and could be felt deep within us. If we love someone it must be pure and without any blemish of pride and selfishness. Love takes time to grow and when it develops it produces good fruits of patience, sacrifice and commitment. Loving someone whom you think unworthy is just like looking your face on still water. If we love others it only means we are ready to sacrifice for them like what Jesus has done to humanity. Love is not just a mere feeling and is not purely based on emotions, but it is a decision of the will.

Christian Living Quotes

Estela September 2, 2018

Giving ourselves in the service of other people brings joy and contentment. Simple lifestyle is the manifestation of sharing and serving others in dire need. Expect the best and get it through the grace of God! We need not to compare ourselves to other people because we are God’s special, unique creation. God answers our prayer on less expected time and even doubly grants our requests. A life without purpose is just like a race without a finish line. Enthusiasm is the key to a successful life but dullness leads to failure and defeats. What are you going to do with your talents? Share it, invest it, and make the best out of it and God will surely be glad if you’ll do it! Money can buy material things but not the salvation of our souls. Break the worry habit in
