"Never alone."
Another day, Lord, where I’ve been victorious. The doubts in my mind have disappeared, and You’ve given me even more peace. I’m glad, Lord, that I attended the MidWeek Service today and also the farewell for Pastor Jerry and some of the team who were part of the MidWeek service, as they will now focus on WIN Talisay. More than that, I also had a conversation with a friend who removed me from her social media accounts. Last night, it was okay, and I accepted it even though I didn’t have a clear reason why she did it. I still had my peace, though I was slightly bothered and checked with others if I was the only one she did that to. After our small talk, I felt even more at peace, especially after hearing her assurance that we still have a place in her heart and that we can talk properly soon. It’s hard to hold grudges when it’s not necessary, or maybe that’s just her way of maintaining her own peace. I respect her decision, and at least, we were able to talk a little. I pray, Lord, that her family will continue to serve You and have more fire for You, Lord, and that they will shine brightly in WIN Talisay with their commitment and service to You. I pray for abundance in their lives and that Your Word will be lived out in them every day. Let there always be joy in their home despite the fatigue, and let there be peace in their hearts and minds as they continue to serve You in spirit and in truth.
Proverbs 2:6-7
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
I always find myself lonely when it comes to the times when I’m the only one doing what You’ve called me to do, Lord. Times when I’m the only one saying no to distractions and the only one committed to You. The first time I felt this was when I served in Media. I thought I was all alone in truly serving You. I always arrived early, Lord, never absent, and I even said yes to everything asked of me. I even prayed that someone would join me, someone more committed to serving You, someone who would do more than what I was doing for You, Lord. And soon enough, many joined me in committing to Media in our church. As time went by, I went through intense testing, Lord, to the point where I fell into sin that I shouldn’t have. Moments where, at first, I thought it was okay, but lately, it’s clear it was sin. I can’t compensate for all my sins, Lord, through my service to You, because no matter how much I strive to serve You, if there’s no transformation in my life, my service to You is useless. That’s why, Lord, You still use me greatly even though it’s sometimes so hard. I’m still thankful, Lord, that You give me chances to serve You and even send people to correct and discipline me in the things I need to face. I can’t justify the sins I’ve committed because they are sins no matter how I reason them out. I’m just thankful for the church I’m in now, Lord, the church where You’ve given me a greater assignment, because the leaders there are very keen on correcting me. I salute their dedication, even though it’s sometimes hard to open up to them, but You’ve made it easy for me to open up properly to them. At times, there are lies behind what I say, and sometimes there’s no truth in it, but the consequences still come back to me, Lord. There are also things I’m proud to share with them, especially about my devotion to You, Lord. I know what I write to You is still far from perfect, but You appreciate even the small things we do for You, Lord. As children of God, we should always have time for You, and that’s where I always feel, Lord, that I’m not alone in my walk as a Christian. I pray, Lord, for more sincere hearts among workers who will commit to You, Lord—not just in words and actions but also in their spirit, Lord, that they would feed it and never stop seeking You daily. Just as our physical bodies need food, so does our soul need Your Word, Lord, daily. Help us also to be more sensitive to You, Holy Spirit, in the guidance You give us daily. I know, for me alone, I’ve given in so much to my carnal desires, especially in gaming, but despite all this, may I always have time for You, Lord, just as I’m doing now for You. I pray that this momentum continues, Lord, because I know the enemy uses my lack of quality time with You to weaken me. Lord, even if I’m pulled toward my desires, my laziness, or the people I want to face, let Your ways be my way, Lord. No matter how hard it is, I will endure in following You, Lord, and I pray that the people around me will have an even greater fire in serving You. Even if I fail many times, Lord, help me to rise again, move on, and still do what You’ve called me to do. Again and again, I can’t do this alone, Lord, and I always believe that I’m not alone in this journey of serving You. I pray, Lord, for people who also want endurance in their lives, especially in serving You, that they would give consistent time to You, even if it’s just a little or a long quiet time. I pray for more of You and less of us daily, Lord, and guide us always, Lord, toward Your will and to You Yourself. I LOVE YOU JESUS❤️
