RESURRECTION OF CHRIST

1 COR. 15: 1-58 (NIV)

LEVITICUS 16: 1-29 (NIV) (FORESHADOWING CHRIST)

Pastor Chi said, "Remember, by understanding the Gospel is not enough. It's to believe it. When you believe, there's powder and transformation."

I had experience this before that all I want to do is to understand the Bible, but to believe it is another story. I have faith kicked in about him and I truly opened my eyes wide. I acknowledge that I am not longer under the supervision of the Law, but the supervision of Christ. It's amazing to know Father God is available 24/7 and that his fire will never burns out. It's something about knowing he's always there and knowing he is taking care of you.

LIFE GOES ON.

I don't fake my life as everything is fine and dandy. I will keep it real but also remember, actions does speak louder than words. Furthermore, I am not a teacher about how to live life for other people. We are not here to imitate Christ even if many say "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

We are here to believe in Christ, to live our lives in God's love, and make the best out of it. As you know, Christ died for us and we see then, that this love of Christ does not merely consist of good intentions or feelings, but this love expresses itself through action. When Christ is in our hearts and in time, it can but it doesn't say it won't direct our behavior that we are able to do what would otherwise be impossible—loving our enemies, loving the unlovable, loving as Christ loves. Just remember he is our Father and we are his children. Trust is the key of this whole matter. I strongly believe this world of ours is a mess, but Father God has a plan. He's taking care of it. We learn from him and we keep going forward. Yup, life goes on.

PURE GENUINE RELATIONSHIP

It is okay to love your parents and let them know. Why care about what people think or say about the relationship between you and your parents? Let it out and continue to let the love flow in your heart. That's what a pure genuine relationship we should have with Father God.

Let him continue to love you and to love him back. We are born with sins not because we created them. We are re-born again by believing Jesus Christ is in our hearts, to become new identities, saints. Even if you are no longer a sinner & you are a saint, it doesn't mean that you will live in a holiness or righteous life. We will mess up sometimes but it still doesn't change who you are, a saint according to Father God's eyes. Remember, he will forgive you & love you no matter what-your faults, your goodness, your habits, your so-called sour behavior, & etc. Basically we know, no one is perfect and seriously, no one and not even your spouse can satisfy, or fulfill all your needs. Yet to fulfill ALL your needs, the only person is Father God. Remember, his love is your love. He lives in you and in me. Some divorces are meant to be but some marriages does work out and survive each year. What's their secret? Perhaps, the secret to it all is what kind of love they have. His love/Father God's love.

Note: Father God, I don't know why you are crazy about us but I am so thankful that you are.

WEAR YOUR BLESSINGS WELL

If a person work for 5 years in the company and then, you only work for 2 years yet you end up getting the promotion, you should be happy, right? Not guilty about it?! You don't know why but you just know you did your best in the company. Soon enough, people talk about you at work not deserving the promotion. Isn't this Father God's favor? Yes, the favor is not always fair but it's just the goodness of Father God! Don't be guilty about it. Father God wants his children to prosper in life. Wear your blessings well.

I don't mean to brag about how great you are but how great God is!!! Life is too short for trying to get everyone to like you. You have this nice car despite if people will say or criticize about you. You have this beautiful home despite if what people will think about you. You have this promotion despite if people get jealous of you. They might think, judge, criticize, or get jealous but they don't know your struggles how you got there. Most people only see the final results rather than how you went through your journey (the sacrifices you did to be where you are at now). You paid the prize and now, Father God rewarded you. Heck, he will still reward you as long you put Father God first place.

Father God gave you gifts. Enjoy them. Don't hide the gift, wear it well. Remember, people will always talk about you out of jealousy, frustration, or just badly, that's their problem, not yours. Enjoy what Father God gave you and if the desire in your heart to go back to school/college, go for it. Nothing wrong to have an ambitious life, you know.

HE'S ALWAYS THERE

I had this message e-mailed to me. It was a form of a chain letter but I don't believe in chain letters. It's quite silly to me however this message is just a quick reminder about Father God.

If Father God brings you to it,

He will bring you through

it.

Happy

moments,

praise him.

Difficult moments, seek him.

Quiet moments,

worship him.

Painful moments, trust him.

Every moment, thank him

.

Remember, he is always with you.

LETTER OF YOUR LOVE

Dear Father God,

Lately, I feel I am worthless, useless, selfish and not look a upon as a good person. All I want is someone to recognize me. I want someone to notice me. I want someone to compliment me. I want someone to be proud of me. I want someone to like me. I want someone to love me.

I don't know why I have to constantly explain myself of who I am and what I believe in? Why do I always want to prove it? I already know. I always forget. I only look at myself of who I am base of what you said to me. My identity is by you, not the opinions of others or even myself. You already recognize me, notice me, compliment me, proud of me, like me, and love me very much. I am not a preacher, teacher nor a great speaker but may my heart continue to overflow of your love, Father. Just know this, your love set me free and I will live, rest, and enjoy it!

Your daughter,

Val

P.S. I love you, too.
