Full moon tonight. So beautful and majestic. No matter how many times I’ve seen it or how long I stare at it, it always takes my breath away. And it looks bigger and closer from this side of the world. Like a spotlight, it lights up the surface of the earth.

Psalm 8:3-4
“When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?”

I just watched a movie last night which showed some people who consider a volcano a god. Probably because of its power and ability to cause destruction. As I look at the moon into detail, I remember the Creator. More than a volcano, He has the ability to cause an even greater destruction and should be feared. More than the moon, His light reaches even the darkest corners of our heart. Clearly, His creations speaks of Him but not entirely of Him. There’s much more to the beauty that we see right now. Wow!

Praise God!

Story of my salvation

When I was lost,

Didn’t know myself

You brought me to You,

Told me how You loved me,

Showed me who You are.

There I found who I am–

 

I am Yours.

 

I want to write…

I want to write better for You. But even when I am at a loss for words, You still see my heart, in which I verily speak, just the same.

Heart check

I know in my heart that what I desire is to worship God but contrary to it, I have been messing up and have been doing things that made me forget Him. In a few hours, I would be so on fire. The next thing I know, I’m caught up by things of this world. It went on and on. Until one night, I didn’t know why I was hurting so bad. I thought it was because I keep sinning and yet all God does is to forgive me and love me still. But I know that when this realization comes to my mind, I would have peace in my heart again. It got me confused.

Then it hit me, what I really wanted was to do it for myself. I wanted to be a person worthy of what God is giving me. I got more and more frustrated because I will never ever be that kind of person, no one will. The worst part is I knew it all along yet I kept naive. I needed to be reminded that it is by grace and only by grace that I am saved, not by works.

Ephesians 2:8,9

8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

I thought I was being righteous. This is a lesson for me–and I hope anyone reading this would also be encouraged–to check on our hearts and see if it still desires the will of God.
