This holiday ( month of July ) had been a fruitful moment for me with God. He had led me to get a hand on few books written by Godly Man of His that have unfailingly spoken to my heart. I was convicted of my past sins. I just want to take this opportunity to thank those people who had forgiven me for hurting them unintentionally or without my knowing for i understand the Joy and the Freedom that follows the moment they chose to forgive me . For those who still hold grudge on me, I ask for your forgiveness.
" For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trepasses. "
Matthew 6: 14-15
"And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
John 20:22-23
God also revealed upon me the way of unleashing the Power that had taken its root long time ago in me, as a child of His or a prince of His Kingdom. Holy living has been known to be one of the Key to it. One of the power that holds me back from grabbing this blessing is none other than of the Satan. Recognizing the bait of the Satan is essential if we want to stay right with Jesus. Ask Holy Spirit to grant us the gift of discernment in order that we may come to know how to dfferentiate between a pure and impure " gold ".
May I not forget my First Love. Same goes to Christian out there. Let us continue to shine for the Lord.
love,

who? them?
Have you ever wondered who are the people on this earth that God had put in your life that you think are closest to you? Have you ever wondered who might be the person that you will first seek in times of troubles?
I bet some of you might throw me answer of common, like my best friend, my gf or bf, my puppy or kitty, my teacher or even my maid... If any of the previous few answers had been in your mind for the past few seconds, then i suppose you might want to give a second thought of an answer for the two questions above. I hope you all can come out with an answer starting with the letter " F " .
F for FAMILY. Yes, FAMILY... What i am pointing to is biological family.
Over the past few years of my growth into maturity, I had encountered and talked to people or friends whose lives were devastated by all mean of ways. Some say that they hate their families, their father, their mother, or their siblings for hurting them. One of the saddest thing that can happen in one's life is to experience the disunity in the family. The disunity can be due to many reasons and i bet you people will be thoughtful enough to list out the possible reasons yourself. Again, not to forget, our dear enemy , Satan, who will never be tired of ripping families apart as he knows that family plays a major role in shaping a person's life. He will try any possible way to tear down the Fence that keep a family united.
There is nothing more precious than to have a loving family, cradled in the arm of God, a place where you seek to love and to be loved. Also, it is place where you share your joy, sadness, and seek Trust. The kind of trust that you cry out for in time of crises. Family is one that will always be there to support you.No one else will be more ready to love, help, embrace, and understand you and to wipe your tears in time of your struggles. No doubt that you can seek " love " outside the Fence but be reminded that, the kind of " love " that you are pursuing is just temporary and might be of higher chance of finding yourself disappointed in the end unless you and your partner agree to build a new Fence together.
It has been our responsibility to unite our family by all means, for God uses family to shape you into the person that He wants you to be. God put family into your life for a good reason. There will come a time when you will want to love your family member so so badly but it is too late. No one holds the future except God, Jesus. No one knows what will happen tomorrow.
So ,choose to treasure and to show your Love to your family today.
love,
Jonathan
