To all the
Christians out there who seeks the truth and seeks the heart of God
To my family
To my Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ who deserves all the glory and praise forever and ever.
Amen!
I am a
Christian since 2013, but even before that, I used to be a regular Churchgoer
in my hometown. In my seven years of Christian life, there are so many ups and
downs along the way and during those moments, many times I am tempted to give
up and surrender. However, knowing my identity, and remembering how good our
God is to me, I never even dare to turn my back and go on that road of no
return. Every time I fall short, God’s grace is extending even more and during
those moments when I feel so alone, God’s word became my best companion.
If you are
reading this today, I want to encourage you to cling on to God and dig deeper
on His words that you may grow in faith and in your relationship with Him. If
you are being corrected, then it is okay to humble down and repent to every wrongdoing
that we had made and know that God loves you that is why He is always pruning
us to the things that are harmful to us, and molding us into the best version
of our own selves.
With that, I
want to share to you this passage from the book of Hebrews 12:
1 Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off
everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run
with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the
pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the
cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not
grow weary and lose heart.
4 In your
struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your
blood. 5 And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that
addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says,
“My son, do
not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
6 because the
Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and he chastens everyone he accepts as his
son.”[a]
7
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what
children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and
everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and
daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us
and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of
spirits and live! 10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought
best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his
holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on,
however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have
been trained by it.
