One of the best reminder that makes me calm and content. Like other verses in the bible, these two are powerful. Thank You Jesus. 

Sunday Thoughts: Things God Wants You To Remember

via Walking On Sunshine

Read: Matthew 11:28.

I believe you, Jesus and I love you more than anything in this world. Thank you for keep on reminding me on how great Your love everyday. As a human being, there are times when my heart questions many things that happened to me or my dearest. I am thankful that everytime those moments came, you always there reminding me not to worry and to rest all of my worries unto you. I am grateful to be born in Christian family and get to know the greatest love of all. I love you, Jesus and thank You for loving me. Happy Sunday, my dearest brothers and sisters in Christ. God loves you and He will shower you with his favors. Amen. 

Sunday Thoughts: Forget The Past, Look Forward

via spiritual inspiration

One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. Philippians 3:13, NIV.

Are you allowing the small things in life to keep you from God’s best? Today is the day to press past the small things and run toward your destiny! Unforgiveness is a small thing. Forgive and move on to the greater thing. Fear is small. It’s not from God. Don’t let it hold you back. An addiction is small. You have the power to overcome anything through Christ Jesus. Being undisciplined is small. If you are a believer today, you have the seed of Almighty God inside of you. There is no challenge that’s too difficult for you!

I think about Joshua and Caleb. When they came back from spying out the Promised Land they said, “Moses, we are well able to take the land. Let us go in at once.” Not next week. Not next year. They were “now” people. But if you over-analyze your situation and think about all the “what if’s” and try to get approval from all your family and friends, you’ll never move off of dead center. You’ll be stuck in the small things.

Today, make the decision to press forward. Be like Joshua and Caleb. Don’t look at your circumstances; look at your God because He is the one who is empowering you to take hold of the good things He has for your future!

Sunday Thoughts: Feed Your Faith

via spiritualinspiration

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6, NIV)

Do you know what pleases God? He’s not impressed by how much knowledge we have. He isn’t influenced by how many possessions we have. He’s not moved by our accomplishments, He is moved simply by our faith in Him.

What’s interesting is that faith is a gift. It’s not something we have to contrive or work up. The scripture tells us that everyone has been given a measure of faith and that faith grows as we hear the Word of God. That’s why it’s so important to stay connected to a Bible-based church where you can hear the Word of God taught. That’s why we have to make time every day to read and study His Word because you’re feeding your faith. The more you feed your faith, the more you know Him and understand His goodness.

Today, take time to feed your faith. Meditate on His Word and ask Him to illuminate your heart with His truth. Trust that He is good and has good things in store for your future because that is faith that pleases God.

Sunday Thoughts: Light Will Come Bursting In

via spiritual inspiration

Repost from spiritual inspiration because this is a very beautiful post. If you have tumblr account and if you're a Christian, follow spiritual inspiration!

When darkness overtakes the godly, light will come bursting in.(Psalm 112:4)

Everyone goes through seasons of difficulty or times when things just seem dark. During these challenging times, know that you are not alone. God has a plan to drive out the darkness—He will flood you with His light! Notice that in today’s verse it doesn’t say, “The light will come trickling in.” No, it says that the light will come bursting in! That means suddenly, you will see God’s goodness. Suddenly, you’ll be promoted. Suddenly, the answer will come!

If you’ve been going through a difficult time, get ready for the goodness of God in a new way. Know that His light is about to come bursting in! Get ready for breakthroughs. Get ready for promotion. Get ready for restoration. You may have had that problem for a long, long time, but today could be the day that it turns around. Suddenly, things can change! God wants His glory to be seen on you. He wants you to stand out in the crowd. He wants you to be so blessed that everyone around you can see His goodness on you! So keep standing, keep believing, keep hoping and keep declaring His Word because His light is going to come bursting in!

Sunday Thoughts: Freedom in Christ

Many of my fellow Christians have been posting this "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus" video and opt to 100% supporting the video and "expect" people to react the same as they do. 

Almost everyone but me. 

I personally support most of the video, but not 100%. The thing is that Christianity really IS a religion. But somehow people nowadays are making it seem that religion is a bad thing. It shouldn't be that Lord Jesus versus religion, what it should be is Lord Jesus versus false teachings / false prophets / false beliefs.  

I honestly think that we should change the definition of religion into a positive thing instead of giving off a negative vibe. People tend to think that religion is strict and have too much rules, when in reality, Lord Jesus sets us free... 

That's my opinion, you can always agree to disagree (: 

Happy Sunday! God bless. 

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery" Galatians 5:1

Sunday Thoughts: Pray

via we heart it.

There is truly incredible power when we kneel down together with our brothers and sisters in Christ and pray. Never underestimate the power of prayer, my big family just experienced it few days ago. We asked for a miracle to Him by praying and He granted us what we requested. 

Lord Jesus, my family thank Thee for all the miracles we received. Your love is unfailing, unchanging. A solid bright light that got me and my whole family through the dark times. How we have basked in that pure light of love; received comfort when our heart was pierced with pain. I will always pray when life is rough and when life is great, because He is my savior, my God.

"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired have." (Psalm 107:28-3)

"…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." (James 5:16)

Sunday Thoughts: Hope, Patience, and Never Stop Praying

Hope.

Hope is very powerful and is actually the first step to fully trusting God. Hope is to look forward with desire or reasonable confidence. Life is full of uncertainty, danger, and moments of indecision. However, even when times get dark and intimidating, as long as we keep hope alive, we can achieve anything. Hope will keep us strong. 

There are countless stories of people (including me) overcoming what seem to be impossible odds. This is because hope is more than idle wanting and wishing that things will get better. Hope is the actual belief and faith where I know things will get better and I will persevere. When I know things will get better, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. With hope I can look to the future with confidence and excitement, and I can begin to do more than I ever imagined

Be patient in time of trouble.

It has never been easy to be patient especially when things are getting quite troubling. Fortunately, patience is a virtue that can be cultivated and nurtured over time. I've been trying to be more patient in any given time of trouble and I must admit, everyday I'm pleasantly surprised by how relaxation and peace of mind can impact the quality of my life just by being more patient. It's hard but it's worth it. 

Never stop praying. 

Talking to the Heavenly Father on a daily basis allows His presence to reside in us, and His hand of protection to keep us. The more we pray and communicate with God, the intimacy between He and us will grow. So, I urge you today to choose life through praying to God on a daily basis. Prayer is the key to living in oneness with Christ, and I have learned if I want oneness with Christ in every facet of my life, I can never stop praying.

Sunday Thoughts: Be Closer To God

It's Monday already in Indonesia, however it's still Sunday somewhere in the other part of the world so I'm going to proceed with this post.

via Spiritual Inspiration

As we start a new year we can gain courage by being closer to Him and trusting Him, that way we are well-prepared to face the things that lie in our future.

In this new year, the only safe place to put our trust is in God. "Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:12).

Sunday Thoughts: Be Strong and Courageous

via because of grace

This is the most meaningful bible verse for me. On my Confirmation day (May 1998), the pastor handed me a bible and wrote this verse on the first page. According to him, after spent few months of attending Catechism class led by him and based on the result of my tests and et cetera, this is the perfect bible verse for me to hold on to. 

I'm a strong woman but there are times when I feel like giving up and powerless. This verse helps me to get through those times, gives me hope and faith that God will always be with me at all times. His words strengthen me (:

I also chose this verse for today's Sunday Thoughts because today was my besties Tikyta Syarani and Letisia Manoe's Confirmation Day at GPIB Paulus. Since I was not able to attend due to my illness (sinus, y u no leave me alone huh?), I dedicate this post and this verse to them. We are only human, in life we will be facing ups and downs and this verse speaks to us that God will always be with us! God bless. 

PS: The Pastor who gave me this verse was Pdt. R. A. Waney, MTh. from GPIB. Thank you! (:
