Committed to You

Proverbs 16:3

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

When we take in God's gift to us, we accept Him in our life. We commit to live by His ways.

For me it was difficult at first. I had to unlearn things... I had to be open and take in a new paradigm.

I remember, the basic was I had to get rid of my addiction. At that time, it was smoking. Now, I am happy to say that since the day I committed my life to God, I never smoked again (I hope I never will).

I used to look at the practicality of things. If it is easy and convenient, then I go for it. Not minding the implications of my actions. Never really thinking that I am hurting others and disobeying God.

The change in me brought about a sense of consiousness with God's will in my life. To be under his protection and authority.

The key to committing to Him is love. If we truly love Him and accept Him in our life. We will let Him have his way.

From Ru Della Torres' book Road Trip

When you committed your life to Jesus, you handed over the driving priviledges to Him.

This means He has a say in the whos, whats, where and how of your life.

As we all go forward and live our lives, let us remember that God is above us. Everything we have is from Him. He will give us the desires of our heart, we just need to step-out in faith, and in His own time and His will, we will have our blessings.

The Gift of God

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When we sin, we take damage in all aspects of our life, not only spiritual. The damage is physical, emotional, mental, and social.

The damage will cause us to feel the hurt and the strain of our actions. It will affect how we act, how we treat ourselves and how we treat others.

If we continue to hurt, along the way, slowly we will numb, and die. A man hurting will be unable to contribute, He will be hindered.

God gave us a Gift. That is Jesus Christ.

Do you want to take away the hurt?.. Start a fresh?... Remove the stain of sin on you?

I am sure the answer is Yes!

Then, accept the gift which is Jesus Christ in your life. Accept him in your life, believe that he is Lord and Savior.

Through his death, he took away our sins. With his blood, he washed us clean.

With Jesus in our life, despite our past, and whatever the future will bring, we have eternal life with Him.

I Am Special

Psalms 16:2

I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."

We are all the same, no one is different. We have dreams, we set goals. We look out for things that we want in our life.

As I look back, there are a lot of things that I am proud of, but there are also some I would rather forget. I have come to realize that all of them thought me a lesson.

I know, I'll do more great things in my life. Certainly, I'll fail on so much too...

With all the things I have done and all the things that I will do... I know I am special as long as I keep the Lord in me.
