Bible verse of the day...Isaiah 12:4-5 (NIV)

"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world." Isaiah 12:4-5 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

I'm very touched with this verse tonight. I have seen some testimonies about the greatest of God from other people and it was very inspiring to me. I don't know if I have thank God enough for everything He has given me. From good things to trying moments. I must say that God is giving me some test at the moment. A very difficult test. However, it won't stop me from holding on to Him and calling out His name. I won't stop making testimonies and reflections despite this difficult time. I would still proclaim His greatness to every soul who can read my blog. I would still sing a worship and praise song to Him. Even if He take my life I won't stop telling the world His goodness. Jesus is the only true God and He is the only way to salvation. Whatever that may be experiencing we should not forget that He is there extending His hand to us. All we have to do is reach out. We may fall down sometimes but we should stand up because God has never give up on us. God is always good and He loves us more than anyone else. When we feel so down, let us call on to Him and He will comfort us. I know that because He has done that to me. I pray that whoever is sick, afraid, depressed or feeling helpless at this point, may God bring them peace and comfort in His love. Praise be the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God bless everyone who love Him more than themselves.

Bible verse of the day...2 Corinthians 8: 5 (NIV)

And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will. 2 Corinthians 8: 5 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse

In whatever we do, we must give ourselves to God. He should be our top priority and then, follow what He commands us to do. Sometimes with all the problems we encounter along the way and trying to overcome the pain we go through, we question God about it. However, bearing in mind that God will not give us something which we cannot bear, it makes me realize that I have to give my all to God first and do what He commands me to do. Then, everything else will follow. I pray that may God give us the strength and wisdom to endure all the suffering and sacrifices He has given us at this point in our lives. It maybe so difficult but God knows what He is doing. I surrender everything to Him.

Bible verse of the day...1 John 4:12 (NIV)

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:12 (NIV)

My reflection of the verse
One of the verses in the bible says that those who have pure hearts would see God. However, this verse says that if we love each other, He lives in us and the love He has for us makes it complete. If we look at the different verses in the bible we can see that Jesus have taught us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. It is an important law to follow and by doing that we become obedient children of God. With sincere and pure hearts , it is not impossible to see God.
