Worry about nothing. Pray about everything. This sounds like such a cliché but it really is true. The one thing that works every time and is guaranteed to get worry out of your life and put peace into your life is when you turn your cares into prayers. -Pastor Merritt
Let me encourage you to ask God for good things. If people know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will God give good things to those who ask Him (Matthew 7:11)?
We have not because we ask not (James 4:2), and God is able to do more than we can ask for, think of, or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). So ask God for big things because He is a big God. I would rather ask God for a lot and get half of it than ask for a little and get all of it.
In Psalm 23:6, David says that goodness and mercy would follow him all the days of his life (NKJV). I think we can believe the same thing for ourselves. You may think, But I don’t deserve good things. And you are right: You don’t, and neither do I. But that is what makes it such good news. God is good to us because He is good, not because we are.
Pinaghihintay ka Niya para ihanda ka sa tamang panahon.
At kapag mainit na ang mantika—ilalagay na Niya ang isda.
Buo. Malutong. Masarap.
Higit sa lahat, Worth it.
“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”
– Romans 8:25
"MAINIT NA BA?"
May isda ka na. May mantika. Gutom ka na rin.
Pero teka—mainit na ba talaga ang mantika?
Kasi kung hindi pa, didikit sa kawali, madudurog ang balat, at masisira ang luto.
Kapag pinilit ang hindi pa hinog sa panahon, hindi maganda ang kalalabasan
hindi masaya.
May mga bagay na gustong-gusto na natin ngayon—
yung trabaho, yung "the one," yung matagal na nating ipinagpe-pray,
Pero minsan, si Lord mismo ang magsasabing:
"Anak, hindi pa mainit. Huwag muna."
Hindi ka Niya pinaghihintay para pahirapan.
