Living Sacrifice

Worship in today's world is synonymous with singing and glorifying the name of God, praising Him with hymns and prayer. We may do that every Sunday at church, but what about the rest of the days of the week? What exactly is true worship? 
Romans 12:1 says, "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." 
Worship is not just a weekly or one-time thing. We need to praise God for everything. How do we become
 a living sacrifice?  By doing all our daily routines for Him, thinking about Him throughout the day. Remind yourself that He is always watching you, watching over you. If you have any trouble pray and ask God for a solution and He will get back to you sooner than you think.
 But a living sacrifice should be without blemish. Well, we humans, sin from time to time. All we need to do is immediately ask God for forgiveness and He will cleanse you, making you as white as snow. We all have a purpose in life. Each one of us are created in the most unique way in God's image. 
Don't offer yourself to the world's pleasures, instead offer yourself to God who will mould you to become the best version of yourself.

Waiting on the Lord: From Restlessness to Rest

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait  on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not be faint."           Patience is a great virtue, but it has never been my cup of tea. I have always struggled to sit still or remain idle, which made it especially difficult for me to truly surrender everything into God’s control. Yet, when faced with important life choices and uncertainty about how to move forward, I realized that the Lord, who created heaven and earth, is a far better planner than I could ever be. He knows each of my days before even one comes to pass, so why not entrust my life into His capable hands?           With this realization, I decided to wait for His direction, understanding that His ways are higher than mine and that He leads us through experiences that always result in growth and learning. Waiting on the Lord, I discover...

Change Our World!

The great big Earth, Is too huge to  fathom , And its inhabitants so varied to  comprehend  . 'Change the world' is the slogan, And each blamed the world, For not changing around them.

Syncing News and Prayer

     It has been nearly four years since I last picked up a newspaper, but in the past month, I decided to take up the habit once again. This return reminded me of the reasons I had initially given it up: the hurt, the hypocrisy, and the overwhelming deluge of information that often felt more like "infotainment" than actual news. Some days, the pain and suffering depicted in the articles were so overwhelming that I struggled to finish reading. I worried that I would become desensitized, reducing extraordinary tragedies to mere phrases like "it's normal" or "that's life." In moments of despair, I turned to Psalm 55:22, which says, "Cast your burden on the Lord..." and I endeavored to do just that. A Divine Perspective      The Lord is always faithful, and He gently reminded me that each article in the newspaper represents real people—individuals for whom Jesus Christ, our Savior, sacrificed His life on the cross. Each person, whether a vic...
