Encouragement

Brothers and sisters.. how many times have you prayed so hard for something but yet it didn't happen and instead it goes the reverse way? You start to lose faith in Jesus at this point? Don't be my dear.. For our wisdom is never as high as God, many things happen for certain reasons that we might not understand. Remember that God know what is the best for us. If we are truly his children, there is no way He will want to hurt us, He will only choose to hurt us the lesser. You may also question yourself that are you living up to the standard of Jesus? If you have your prayers result in a reverse manner and have lack of wisdom to understand why is that so, I encourage you to continue improve yourself by praying to God to transform you into the kind of person you will best be. Not all Christians who receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will go to heaven in 100%. We have the sinful nature that is consistently separating us from God. We must be in a constant struggle to reach up for God's standard for truly being His child and disciple. Before we start to blame God, please question ourselves how much have we done for God? At this point, you may choose to lie to yourself and avoid the whole fact and situation that your prayer result in reverse and you fall short of God's glory, but when the time comes, your doings will still be revealed and you have to face the punishments.

When you think that you fall short of God's glory, do not feel inferior as we are all the same. But we must discipline ourselves and constantly pray to ask for the strength we need, disciple, determination, wisdom and whichever necessary, in order to help us to shine for God.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you
So, brothers and sisters, pray to God sincerely and you shall experience the miraculous side of your gifted new life. Only.. only.. only.. when you have finally experienced it, you will love Him and feel God's presence in your heart. For those who are not yet a Christian, I tell you this..

Christianity is to have a personal relationship with God. When you have felt God's love and presence in your life, you can never deny or reject it. Nobody can reject His love when they have received. It is only when you have not give yourself a chance to know God and have not felt His love, you will live away with it and remain unbelieved.

There is also another group of people I believe, that you want to give yourself a chance to know God, but you find yourself have no one around you that can relate it to you, or you find that their words are not convincing and unreliable. You might want to give it another chance and come to me. Because I am one living example who been through that stage. I searched for the answer for 6 months. I am able to find it because I never give up and I'm proud that I did the right thing and now I am the child of God. =)

Dear Jesus, I thank you for bringing all of us, brothers and sisters together so that when whoever is down, there is someone there for us and we never feel lonely. I thank you for coming among us and spread your love among us. Father in heaven, I pray so much for those who have been feeling down and start losing faith at this time, due to bad experiences happened in their life. May their holy spirits guide them and remind them of the Fatherly Love and let it remain in them to comfort them at this time. Holy spirit to inspire them to pray and seek for God's presence at this time so that Jesus can be involve in their life and walk with them and fill them we spirit and love. Father, I pray and ask for the wisdom that we need to understand your purposes so as we could do things right. Thank you father for giving me the sensitivity to feel your presence so strong. Please let it continue so I shall have a chance to inspire somebody us. May God use me to work on others as well. In Jesus' name, Amen!
