"Learn of me" is the Saviour's command. Yes, learn of Him how to live the Christ life–a life pure and holy, free from any taint of sin...

Progression, not stagnation, is the the law of heaven. Progression is the law of every faculty of mind and body.

Step by step we are to advance, ever receiving and imparting, ever gaining a more complete knowledge of Christ, daily approaching more closely the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

Happy Midweek!🌷

To repent is not as easy as people may think.

Some people repent because they are afraid of the consequences. And there are some people who also confess without even feeling sorry for what they have done.

Sounds familiar, right? I know that person because it was me. I'm part of what we called "some."

It was me who didn't mention such a prayer as "forgive me, Father, because I did it again." I was so shy that I might do it again. It wasn't sincere after all, so what's the point, right?

To repent means "to be sorry for sin and to turn away from it."
To give up sin is to see how sinful, how unclean, how unrighteous, and how unholy it is.

"David's prayer after he had greatly sinned shows what true sorrow is like. His repentance was sincere and deep. He did not try to make his wrong act seem small. He did not try to escape the results of what he had done. David saw that his sin was great and that his heart was unclean. He hated his sin. He prayed not only for forgiveness but for a clean heart. He wanted the joy of holiness—to be brought back into harmony with God."—Steps to Christ, Chapter 3

Come as you are and repent. Jesus will open His ears for us. He will clean us and give us a new spirit and a right spirit. And we will be in harmony again with God.

So, Just come.

Happy Sabbath🌻

I saw how God was trying to tell us about Himself when I started painting this flower. How, following the fall of Adam and Eve, He made an effort to mend His relationship with humankind.

How wonderful God is! He responded very quickly. Without hesitation, He created all living things on this planet—for us. He was fully aware of the consequences of their behavior. Consequently, He created something just and beautiful.

"The sunshine and rain tell of our Creator's love. The hills, seas, and plains speak of Him. He supplies the daily needs of every creature."—Steps to Christ, Chapter 1

God showed us how wonderful and merciful He is. He showed us His creative side and even showed us how profound He was.

The way He whispers His love to us.
Oh, what a delightful thing it is to be loved by You!🥺

Upon observing these things, I am confident that the Lord is crafting something just and beautiful in your life right now.

I hope you always have faith in the artist's hand!✍️

Happy Sabbath, dear!🌻💛

She claims, "I planned out everything."

"I'll take the board exam after I graduate."
If I do well on the test, I'll enroll in a master's program and then apply to companies.
Then I'll start my business. Visit other countries. Buy my own car and house. I'll then have my own family, then hold off until my retirement.

It seems like an excellent idea!

However, a plan without God.

Yes, He is a part of your plan, but He is only a portion of it, or perhaps He isn't even a part of it.

Therefore, rather than making your own plans, let's ask the Lord, "Lord, what is your plan for me?"

Although we may have desires in our hearts, we should constantly remember to incorporate the Lord in whatever we do.

He is an all-knowing God! He is a God who can see both the present and the future. He has wonderful plans for us that we could never have dreamed of. He will undoubtedly reveal His plans for you!

In God's time🤗

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
—Isaiah 55:8-9

Happy Sabbath🌻💛

All the time, we make decisions abruptly depending on what feel and think right at the moment.

Oftentimes, we don't consider God as much as we consider ourselves.
We forget to consult Him and tend to remember those gossips and jokes we heard from our surroundings.
We tend to trust our belief system and not be ready for the consequences we've made.

I remembered my dear friend whom I've known from the camp. She used to pray every moment and talk to God about her thoughts and decisions. She had told God everything. What she will say, wear, eat and so forth.
Almost everything.

One time, my guy friend lost his slippers and I never thought that someone will pray for it.
She closed her eyes and uttered her petition to find the lost slipper. A while later, she found it. And bowed again her head and prayed to God.

It may look exagge to you but for me, I find it beautiful...

It's beautiful, isn't it?
To be considered first.
Oh, how sweet it is to be considered first in everything.
Without hesitation, she reported to God like a trustworthy friend.

Has it ever crossed your mind too? What if. What if I tell God about everything?
Would my decisions be different?
Would my life be better?
Would my response be more pleasant?
Think of it.

Remember whenever we forget God, we fall into the trap of sin.

So today, start telling Him your decisions and wait for His approval. You will never go astray. He will lead you the way!

Just a little talk, my friend.
Just a little talk with Jesus, OUR FRIEND.

Happy Sabbath🌷
God loves you🫶

“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”
— 2 Chronicles 15:7

So today, if you're having difficulty being patient, don't give up. Know that your work will be rewarded and that God sees it.

Surely. 🌻💛

He already sees the rainbow when we only see storms.
He already sees the rainbow when we only see hopelessness.
He already sees the rainbow when we only see rejections.
He already sees the rainbow when we only see delays.

God sees the storms from the other side. He knows very well what’s crashing and troubling you. Believe Him! He sees the clear skies. And God is saying to you today “Let it be, let it be!”

He will speak to your storms and He will give you peace.

Dear, give it to God! He knows exactly what to do. Trust Him. He already sees the rainbow when we only see clouds.

Happy Sabbath🌻💛

MAY 2 REMINDER📍

Why do you keep on doubting yourself when you have already succeeded countless times?

Struggling again with something? Haven't you remember that you have won many battles before?

Then, you can win this battle again with God✨

14/04/2023

He remembers your efforts
He remembers your fears
He remembers your sadness
He remembers your pain
He remembers your disappointments
He remembers your silence

But above all...

He remembers your name and prayers.

Whatever hardships you are facing today, always remember that He thinks of you more than you think of yourself and He loves you more than you love yourself. Though adversities sometimes make us wonder if God has forgotten us, but He has not. He remembers every detail of your thoughts, every detail of what makes you smile, and every detail of your prayers🥰

Untangle all your worries today and be at ease knowing that God is with you wherever you go✊💗

Happy Sabbath🌻
