Repentance saves!  MATTHEW 11:20-24 teaches us that repentance will always save our souls from all the harm of judgement and will remove the severity of everything we did wrong. Most of the time we always think that we are hopeless to be forgiven and to deserve something better because we always slap our faces with all the negative and unpleasant things that we did before. We thought that there is no way that we will still be accepted after we have done something bad. We are having a hard time forgiving ourselves and to move on from what happened before. God is a merciful god. He knows everything you have been through and all the reason that you have why you have done such a thing. What other people didn't know is that, God is always ready to forgive us and accept us from our sins. God values you over the sins that you have committed. He sees how beautiful you are rather than all of your flaws because what He knows more is that He loves you. As long as we do the act of repentance, God will always be there to accept you because you did you part of admitting your mistakes and commits to never ever do it anymore with all your heart and strength. Let us open our hearts for repentance for it will always bring us closer to to God.

Past is past Matthew 9:16-17, teaches us that we should not be limited by what happened on us on the past but rather, to see it as an opportunity to be better and see the new things ahead and be prepared for bigger things to come. In our life, we often imprison our selves in the past because of what might came wrong before. We had a hard time dealing with our former actions that sometimes haunt us even up to this day. Yes, it may be frustrating but it will be worst if we will continue to repeat the mistake in our face. These things will absolutely destroy us and will eventually kill everything good around ending up with a bigger mess. As we go deeper with our past mistakes or misfortunes, we will also drag our souls to a death which God does not want us to go with. Our past is in the past and nothing will ever change, things that happened before cannot be undone. Some people are stuck from it because they thought that they can do something that they did not before, unfortunately, we are not God to change things drastically as we want. As humans, the most humane thing to do is to forgive ourselves and do the right and good thing the next time around. There will always be hope as we live and with that we can always do the right thing if the struggle happens again. There is no shame on making mistake, real shame is to not learn from it to make better things next time.

Freedom is healing. Matthew 9:1-8, teaches us that as we ask for healing, we must prioritize making a change in our lives. Going away from sins, repenting and rebuilding your whole life with God is one of the greatest ways to heal the wounds that brought to by sins in the past. Our wounds in the past caused by sins will eventually heal up as it requires a step by step development of ourselves. This may not come easy but things will ease up as we do this with our number one ally of this journey which is our God. There will be times that ups and downs will be there. At some point, we will again experience this sin but it will be just unintentional for we are still in the process of coping against it. Healing process from sins will be a long way ahead but as we accept God with all our heart, we know that we are in the right path. Let's free ourselves from sins right now and be free! We are bound to cherish every blessing that we are meant to have and maybe the only thing that blocks us from it is the fact that we are into sin. Let God take over your life and you will be healed.

Who He is to you. Matthew 16:16-17, teaches us how blessed we are in the moment that we know we really our Lord Jesus Christ is. This reading let's us realize that if we will just open ourselves and commit to know our God more, we are so blessed enough that we will inherit the riches in the heaven above. We should make our lives closer to God instead of pushing ourselves to things that will never ever really care about us. God knows what you want, He knows what you need, He hears, what you ask and He sees what you seek. He knows everything on you and you should realize how blessed you are by knowing Him back and loving Him back because it is truly what His glorious name deserves. At this very moment, start to commit yourself on knowing God more for you to bless your life at the moment. Let God's love and healing flow into you so that other people will also know who God really is.

Believe to receive. MATTHEW 8:8, teaches us that our faith with God combined with His words are the most powerful and dominant force we can ever have. It is a universal power that no one could ever interfere. Our belief in God's words let's the miracles flow from His heart to our veins to bring healing to everyone. The power of believing opens our heart to receive God's blessing and let our lives be filled of what He wants us to do. If we don't learn to believe and put everything into His power, we limit ourselves inside a box even what God wants us to do is to live freely in billion-hectare wide landscape that is specially crafted for us. Some people limit their beliefs because what they know is that God is limited, instead of widening their perspective they only think from what they only see and not letting themselves discover what could be. The thinking of a limited God is truly an insane idea, we should understand that the God above is limitless and no one could ever comprehend the things that He can do. What we can only think is that He can do all things. Let's open our minds and heart to a limitless God, let him enter your heart to receive an boundless blessing that only he can provide. [sponsors]

God chooses you. Matthew 8: 1-4, teaches us that God will always chooses us. God will always prioritize your best needs and will give the greatest gift for you. He understands what you are going through and He always chooses to help us, give His precious hands for help and will always be there every step of the way. There are some people who goes away from God for what they thought is God will not accept them and will not choose to forgive them. They thought of God as an unforgiving God but the truth is that God will always be merciful and will show His love for us. Some people doubt that they will be judge by God according on how dirty they have been. They label themselves as failures and trash for they always look on what they have done instead of what they could do better for themselves. Thankfully, God has a divine perspective and always chooses to see what is the good inside our heart rather than the sins that tainted our souls. God always chooses us above all the hate and dirtiness we have. God is a loving god. He will always do what He loves to do and that is to look at us and smile while saying that "I love you so much". God loves us so much, it is insane to think that we are not deserving to be loved because even God chooses to embrace us amidst of all we have done in the past. Let's choose to see how God sees us so we can choose ourselves.

Your Name. LUKE 1:63, teaches us that no one could ever dictate our path but God. We are destined to something big through His will and power. God's plans for our lives will always prevail no matter what. No matter how hard it gets and even though how many will raise an eyebrow on who you are destined to be, we should not be fazed for we know that God is the one that authors our lives and no one should hinder that. Most of the time, we experience the pressure that the world put on us by telling us who we should be based on their standards. The standards of the world will never be enough to satisfy and glorify our God. He already recognizes you by just being who you are that He created and God expects you to be just the same precious child that He appointed to do something big for the world. No matter who you are or what you name is, God knows who you really are and that is His beloved child.

A mango comes from a mango seed. Matthew 7:12, teaches us that whatever we want to be done to us should be the things that we should do to others. We often expect to be treated favorably by many people, but sometimes we expect too much that ends up with disappointment. Sometimes, are we able to assess if we are the person that deserve it? As they say, be the person who makes you happy. We should be more conscious of what we do to others because it will definitely reflect on how they will treat us.

First things First. Matthew 6: 7-15, teaches the Lord's Prayer. This reading teaches us not just the proper structure of thought that we should practice but also the idea of always putting the will of God first above all. Nothing is greater that asking for the power and love of from our God because we know that we are nothing without him. Jesus taught us to never fail to ask God for mercy, guidance, and blessings for He will never ever will fail us. We should always learn to put the name of God first before our personal intentions so that we could afford to receive His blessings a thousand times that we expect.

For your eyes only. Matthew 6: 1-6, 16-18, teaches us that the only one we should please with our good deeds is our God. We should not put our good actions just for publicity and impression of other people. Making these acts just for the praise of others will bring devastation and impurity on the things that you should do for the glory of our God. Living with these false concept will result to disappointment and frustration because it is not all the time that everyone will appreciate what you do. Someday, no one will be there to see or hear the things that you made and will end up as a memory that you make. This reading tells us that all the things we do for God should be kept only between you and Him. There is no need to tell even the closest love one you have for it is God, and only God that will give something in return of what you have done. It is only God that will always praise and appreciate your effort through the purity of your heart to do the things that you made. It is only God that should be our only audience when we perform righteous and good acts. It is only God that should evaluate how well you did it. God's eyes sees the things that no one in this universe would understand. Let's keep our things focused only in the eyes of our God.

Love your enemies MATTHEW 5:43-48, teaches us to love our enemies. This is quite a challenging thing to do for us humans. We know how hard it is because we have a natural feeling of hate for those persons that gave us the feeling of hurt and hardships. Forgiving an enemy from the things that they've done is a pain in your heart to bear. To forgive them is somewhat letting go of what painful just happened and go on again, but that is the beauty of doing it. As we forgive , we do not definitely give that healing to the person that hurt us but it is to ourselves that we are offering forgiveness. With forgiveness, we bravely accept the things that is almost impossible to handle by humans. Forgiveness in our hearts shows our internal strength that lies in our core and indicates our greatness within. Forgiving is the best way to love your enemies, nothing more and less. Forgiveness does it all: acceptance, freedom, protection, knowledge, and understanding. These four gifts of forgiveness mentioned are the things that we could have if we would just do it. The awesome thing of this is that it won't demand any work for you anymore for it does all the work for you. Forgiving is acceptance of the things that already happened and inevitably painful Freedom from all the pain that things brought to your heart. Protection from the person that hurt you. Forgiving doesn't mean and ask for you to stick again from the one that causes you pain, but asks for your higher guard to be their . Knowledge of what happened and what possible things may came in the future and; Understanding the situation gain better personality through learning from what happened and be accountable for the next move to come.

Be the Good One. Matthew 5:38-42, shares us the teaching of being the one to act bigger and better over toxicity and bad habits. We are encouraged to stand on what is good in the eyes of God and contain ourselves to avoid ending up doing unwanted things. We should always be able to maintain our composure and always think of what is the better thing to do rather than seeking vengeance and repeat the circle of hurt. Nothing good will be produced by seeking for a turn back, it will only add the trouble and will eventually let the hurt go on and on.

Life = Jesus; Jesus = Life John 6:51-58, tells us that Jesus is the only reason we are living and should be the only reason why. We are nothing without him, and we won't last long without His mercy and love for us. What he did in the cross, was one that made our lives matter for He sacrificed too much that He needed to die. No one could ever compare and would ever dare to this but a person that has a genuine and unbounded love for us. He did it wholeheartedly, for the sake of our salvation. With this sacrifice that he gave, we are given a whole new opportunity to live a meaningful life in the name of Jesus. We, the children of God should make a full-pledge commitment to redirect our lives to what matters the most. Some people lost their paths because they are living for nothing but to open their eyes and breathe. We should not let ourselves be driven by the demands of this world that never really cared for what we feel. Let's make up our relationship with God and there we will realize and understand that there is a bigger picture for us to cherish. We have a better life to have if we will just let ourselves be filled by God's grace and care. I hope this message for you will open a brand new light to follow on. Commit your self to God today! God Bless!

How much strength does it take for us to be patient with our selves?

Want and Need. Our needs and wants always have a big difference in perspective. A need demands you something while a want is what you demand. Most of the time, what we need is just to fill something missing, somewhat like a patch. A want on the other hand, is a thing that truly satisfies your taste and make something light and easy. Sometimes, what we need is not what makes us happy, what we want is not the thing that we should seek. What if we could make a better thing out of this conflict, make our needs as a want and our wants are the ones that now we need. We have the ability to look on something important that makes us happy, and something serious that will make us get it. We people should enjoy every bit of the moment that we are able to cherish. Life is already hard and we know that nothing is certain for tomorrow. We should make fun with ourselves and look at things with a different perspective. What makes us happy are the things that we would always wanted to be. What keeps us moving are the things that needed to be done. Let's learn to combine these two make ourselves better and happy as a whole. Let ourselves be free from the pressure but at the same time we strive for what we always aim.
