RELATEionship 1st sem, AY 2013-2014 | Page 3

We are created for a purpose. Everybody has a mission to fulfill, a duty to finish. We are here not just for nothing, but for something. Yes, God is up to something bigger more than you could possibly imagine. And I know He has a plan for me that is why I am writing this.

Like ABC, let’s do the G-O-D.

G – Glimpse of heaven is what we’ll see when we experience God in our lives. Accepting Him wholeheartedly as our personal Lord and Savior is the best feeling in the world – for that’s when our real eyes realize the value of life after death more than the earthly things and beings. And you know what? Religion isn’t the thing, but our relationship with Him. Our faith in God and to His words is all that really matters from the beginning till the end. At times you might doubt about His existence and people may say that seeing is believing, just look around and you’ll find Him. God is everywhere – look up, look down, look around, He is with us 24/7.

O – Offer all things to Him and good things will follow. In everything that we do, never forget to ask for His guidance and surely, He will lead you to the right path. Make Him your inspiration, your goal and your guiding star which will not leave you ever in darkness. In times of despair and troubles, never lose your faith and commitment – – for He is faithful to those who are faithful to Him. Hold on to Him through prayers, and in any way, in any day, He will positively answer you with His ‘yes’, or if not, surely He is preparing something greater than what you think.

“YOU ARE LOVED MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW…

by someone who died to know you.” – Romans 5:8

In a Relatio

-nship: With GOD.

D – Do good things for others for it overwhelms God. Do not be self-centered, but be God-centered. When love is rooted with faith, it will be highly contagious and should be spread to everyone. Share thoughts and verses with others and let them experience the unconditional love of the Lord. Everybody has the chance to get closer with Him, be the bridge. Let Him use you to be His instrument. For if you yourself know and recognize Him, you could shout it to the world and tell them stories about Him. Be a believer, be a teacher, and be His follower.

He may be unseen, but His love is felt. He may seem to be away, but He’s just right beside you. He may seem to not hear your prayers, but He is silently working for you.

You might have established great relationship with your family, relatives, friends, loved ones, why not with Him? What you have right now came from Him and He’s the reason for everything that is happening. If you are connected with God by heart and by faith, you have nothing to worry. Storms and problems won’t ever let you down. Be firm, be still. Know God, know peace. Know God, know love. Know God – He is what you have.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”" – Jeremiah 29:11
