Chosen, not forsaken

I’ve read an Instagram post that says, “If the January 2024 me met the December 2024 me, they wouldn’t stop talking about how good God is and how He works in lives who trust in Him.” This suddenly made me look back when 2024 first started. I was a girl with full of doubts and fears for the uncertainty of the future. Fast forward to the last days of 2024, I am now a girl who found her future secured in the Lord. Those doubts and fears were replaced by Jesus with peace and joy. This reminds me of Psalm 34:8, in Easy-to-Read Version which says, “Give the Lord a chance to show you how good He is. Great blessings belong to those who depend on Him.” Notice how this version uses the statement, “Give the Lord a chance to show you how good He is.” Does this mean, when God is not good to us, that is because, we didn’t give Him the chance to be? It’s possible. When we focus more on our circumstances, rather than on His character. Put a pin on this, we’re going to go back to this in the last part ...

  Q1: If there is no hell, would you still believe in God? After being hiatus for more than a month, I’m back again with another blog and this will be like a “series.” In this blog series, I am going to answer questions that I found on the Internet based on my personal experience as a Christian. You can also drop me some questions in the comments section if you have something to ask about me or my faith that you wanted to know. I’d be delighted to answer those.   One of the questions that really got to me is, “If there is no hell, would you still believe in God?”   This seems like a tough question to answer, but without hesitation, my answer is “Yes.”   Some people thought that Christians only believe in God because we’re scared to go to hell. When in reality… we have already been through hell.   The kind of past I had is hell for me. It’s a kind of place I never wanted to go back to. I am disgusted by the kind of life I chose to have in the pa...

Fasting doesn’t mean you starve yourself, it means being spiritually-fed and being full by God’s Word. Hey, chosen people! Welcome back to the blog site, I know I’ve been missing in action the past months, but now that I’m back with another blog, we are going to talk about fasting. Have you already tried to pray and fast? If you have, that’s great! You can share your fasting journey in the comments section, I also want to know from you. If you haven’t, maybe this is your sign to start your fasting journey. I hope this blog will enlighten you about it. Fasting helps us to slow down and to hear more from God. Fasting helps us to seek Him, His will, His plans, and His timing for our lives. Fasting helps us to prioritize our Spirit more than our flesh. Every believer is called to fast. Since the beginning of this year, God called me to it, but it took me three months before I obeyed the calling. If we have prayers, concerns, requests, and desires that we want God’s approval, we should fast...

  When we realize there is a life after death, we make choices that will last for eternity. Before we begin, check the "Guide" tab first that you can find below the blog description, if you haven't check it yet. Then, go back to this post. Are any of you don't know their purpose in life? Are any of you can't decide about something? Are any of you don't have any idea what to do after College, what profession to take, whether to marry or not, have kids or not, what kind of dream to follow and everything that relates to our existence and purpose in Earth? Or do you already know your purpose, but is starting to have a crisis about it? Apostle Paul has an answer to our queries that he wrote to the churches in Corinth, "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31). Take note of the word: whatever. Whatever we plan to become in life, whatever we decide, whatever we do, including the mundane moments...
