My journal, my blog, for the Lord!

I always love writing and I usually write on a journal which I know, is old fashion. But  hey, Still i write. I guess that's the most Important thing right?

Yes, in writing, the hardest is always on how you can start your write ups ( writers will definitely agree with me) because we just have to write stuff that attracts our readers ( sometimes listeners ) however,for me personally, I didn't write this for entertainment nor popularity purposes. It is just the work of the Holy spirit. Yeah it is! Now, I am more of justifying myself on why just now ( I blog) Stupid me,  am so late bloomer! Lol. Again, let me reapeat myself ( though you can always re-read this)  i acknowledge the urge of God in my step in doing this new thing.

This is my devotion today (April 16) "...for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”  1 Samuel 16: 7

It dawns on me how God even knows our motives, our very heart before we act on something. Awesome right? So let Him be my judge.

Not so long ago, the fire that I had for our ministry in the church, washed out by a strong water which I wasn't able to identify what was it, that stopped the fire burning. I know I received Jesus but I am getting away from Him. I felt that my prayers were just like a responsibility for me, that He is not listening more over not answering it. There came a time that even my quiet time was interrupted by BUSY-NESS. Busy sched at work and chores. "Really Christy?!?!" yup. I enjoyed fooling myself back then. " reasons, reasons..., endless reasons..."

I became so complacent and I never see it coming. That caused me to be away with Christ. I didn't  know how i managed my life without Him... There, realization came into my senses... I said to myself (thru the work of the Holy spirit) wait..."What did Jesus Christ do for me? He died for me and for my sins and gave me The gift of salvation and the passport to heaven? What am I doing now?". 

I was so consumed with these things : career, financial stability, relationship, new gadgets, clothes, family issues, etc, then I knew something was really wrong! Because of His promise : Hebrews 13, verses 5 and 6. God's sweet voice: "I will never leave you nor forsake you", i remained blessed. As His child, i know I have to come  back to Him and ask for forgiveness ( like the story of the parable of the prodigal son) and go back to His words, to meditate to it day and night (Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.") The priority is Him and Him alone.

The truth about this is that: " You will never find contentment in life until you live for Him"
