Inspirational Life Quotes

It's that time of the year again when students graduate from school and others receive awards for the great work they had done in school for the past year. I'm happy to have some of my children received their particular awards in school. Thank God for the awards ! Have you thought about the time that Christians look forward to someday when rewards will be given to Christians for what they have done in this life? What do we need to do to prepare for that day? For no one can lay any...

I read from Isaiah 53:1-6 and it says Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our...

We just finished packing up our baggage in time for the people from the cargo to pick them up yesterday. Thanks so much to Kuya Rudy and Kuya Andy for all the help. We are bound to go home to the Philippines on April 26 and for the first time in 12 years, we do not have a return ticket. That means, we are about to stay there for good. While it is exciting to go back to our own country, there are a lot of uncertainties that we are facing right now. How would life be so different for us now...

The other day, my husband made a mistake in his driving that led to his being given a ticket. When the officer asked for his national ID, which he is supposed to carry with him all the time, he found out that it was missing. The officer could have charged him with another violation, but when my husband showed him his work ID, saying I work at ___, he did not. Thank God! It's a wonder how just saying the name of his company gave him favor. It's like there is some power or authority that is...

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory...

If you want to watch it, it will be out in theaters on March 27. After watching that, I watched another monumental trailer. But this one is made by a church group. I embedded it here and transcribed the narration because it shares one great truth. There are monuments built in time past up to the present history all over the world, but one that stands above them all is the monument of what Christ has done for all mankind - the Cross - upon which our hope and salvation stands. Throughout the...

All of Scripture is God-breathed; in its inspired voice, we hear useful teaching, rebuke, correction, instruction and training for a life that is right so that God's people may be up to the task ahead and have all they need to accomplish every good work - 2 Timothy 3:16-17, The Voice Bible I received a complimentary copy of a new Bible translation called The Voice New Testament by Ecclesia Bible Society published by Thomas Nelson, Inc. Much effort was dedicated by scholars and writers to...

"Does God know our future?" Emmuel asked me this question some time ago. I answered him a resounding "Yes." I told him that the Bible says that God is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. So, surely He knows everything even what is to come. I Wish I Knew Last Wednesday, was the last working day of my husband in his job. He hasn't found a new job yet and we don't know what the next few months would be like. Sometimes, how I wish I could know what exactly would happen. Like for...

I am telling you the truth: the one who accepts these things has eternal life. I am the bread that gives life. Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and they died as you know. But there is another bread that comes from heaven; if you eat this bread, you will not die. I am the living bread that has come down from heaven to rescue those who eat it. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever. The bread that I will give breathes life into the cosmos. This bread is my flesh. The low...

Most Christians I know, if not all, are very hopeful people. Even in the midst of crisis, suffering and pain, they never let go of hope. Even when things look so dim, they still hold on to that ray of hope. Why is that? He also brought me up out ofa horrible pit,out ofthe miry clay,and set my feet upon a rock,and established my steps.(Psalm 40:2) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go....

I've heard this quoted by a preacher on television some time ago "Love Like You've Never Been Hurt." When I searched on the internet, I was surprised to find that it was actually quoted by Mark Twain. I think the preacher said it was quoted by Satchel Paige. When somebody has hurt you, it is really difficult to love or even just talk to that person. If possible, you want that person to disappear from this earth. I have felt this way at least once in my life a long, long time ago. Image by...

"I just can't take it anymore!" How many of you have said this line before? Most likely, all of us have said something similar to this effect. It is really common for people to have ups and downs in this life. Jesus said the following words in expectation of unfavorable things happening in this world but at the same time teaches us to trust in Him to have peace and victory in this world. I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But...

Today is Angel's birthday. Thank You, Jesus. Happy 3rd birthday, my daughter. I love you. This post today is something about Angel. I asked Angel to pray the other night. What she said is in quotes and those in parenthesis are my side comments. "Lord, I pray that you heal Daddy" (His Daddy was down with a flu that time.) "Lord, help Kuya Yuan to speak in school" (His brother still haven't overcome his fear of speaking in school.) "Lord, help me not to be shy to the boys" (His oldest...

Hypertension is a disease that develops over time and is a product of both heredity (over which we have no control) and lifestyle (over which we can have control). Late last year, my mom had an angioplasty. The heart attack was so sudden and the angioplasty was so urgent. Thank God, she has recovered very well by the grace of God. She did not have a health journal like this book 40 Days to Better Living: Hypertension by Dr. Scott Morris. But I would highly recommend anyone who has to...

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. ~ 3 John 2 I got this book 40 Days to Better Living by Dr. Scott Morris about 3 weeks ago and I like it. It's written in the format of a journal where one can write one's thoughts and answers to the guide questions that the author gives for reaching everyday health goals. I like the motivational life stories and the inspiring scripture quotes that goes along with...
