About Me
- Rachel Dalde Grajales
- TRAVELLER IN MOST EVERY WAY---> I've been to many places, but still there's no other place like home. Maybe after so many years in spending outside my hometown, sooner or later I'll be backing home to spend the rest of my life in the land where GOD wants me to be. I guess and I hope that, by that time i found myself settled down with someone I really love and someone GOD sent to me! GREAT!
Psalms 23:5 my cup runneth over.
ReplyDeleteI’m Jobless, no source of income. Ahahah I can’t barely imagine how can I survive three months na jobless ako? Reminiscing about the things na ni-let go ko. I have this wonderful job, good salary and allowances, insurances, generous boss, unimaginable bonuses, wonderful and vibrant officemates and ever loyal friends inside the company. When I think back all of those things, I began to wonder why did I let those opportunities go? Blessings pour out in our life depending upon how we look at things. Our blessings overflow. Our blessings are so great in number today, in this present moment, regardless of our circumstances, we hold the cup of our life that overflows with His love. We can all be rich in spirit even when we are poor in money, things, and people. We can all look up to God and see His divine power. We can see His hands reaching out to us. We can experience His love and peace in us. We could count His infinite blessings in our life, but there is not enough time to count the infinite. Thank you Lord God. :D
We tackled about Grace last week sa Midweek BS (Bible Study) ng ACCEPTORS. And I think about it again. I asked God to give me more grace. Less than a month nalang, Anniversary na. I texted my bestfriend… Please pray for me. I really want to give up na for this anniversary. I really need grace from the Lord, I told her.
ReplyDeleteShe comforted me and encourages me then I asked God for grace. I know God spoke to me and told me to extend my patience and understanding towards my fellow. I know this ministry is not easy, that’s why I’m asking God for more grace. He said, look around… I told you that don’t look to problems. Look unto me.
God encourages me about the story of Israelites. It takes so many years before they saw the promise land... But he assures me that his grace and love is with me always. I just need grace, patience and understanding. Sana bago mag complain, sana naiisip ba na makatulong sila. Sana bago ko magisip na hindi na ako na bi-bless sa ministry, maisip ko sana na nagging blessing ba ako sa ministry.
I’m so sorry God; I will open the door of my heart to understanding. Please give me more grace to take time to understand the important people in your life.
Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. Proverbs 20:5
Tatay and I talked about our disappointments, failures and discouragements in the ministry. (Can I consider it failures? oh, I’m sorry tatay, it’s not the right word, correction! hehehehe) as human as we are, we saw many disappointments that really discouraging and frustrating. I asked him (tatay) and I shared to him that I was so saddened for what's going on. Am I sharing the right word to him, or I also giving tatay a load too? I was actually in the point of sadness and thinking that we can't move on to our ministry. "wala rin naman atang mangyayari sa ACCEPTORS, wag ng pag aksayahan ng panahon" those are the lies Satan is trying to poison my mind.
ReplyDeleteI also asked ate espie regarding my ministry and my situation, which I was so disappointed and i really cried. I cried because the young people are not walking victoriously in their faith. i saw many of them are too busy with their personal tasks, jobs and sad to say many of them are drowning themselves in drinking liquor. Yes, I was offended. And I don't want to face anyone of them that time. I admit it; the foundation of ACCEPTOR’S faith is shallow, too shallow. At first I don't want to admit it because they are those people who are with me worshiping together to our ONE TRUE GOD.
I don’t want to be distracted by these lies. I want to look up to God. I want to see His grace, and be thankful for it everyday. Shallow, we all have our own reasons and we are all got wounded as we are all walking in our faith. I ask forgiveness to our Savior for being rude to my brothers in correcting them, and I realize my fault and repent on it.
2 Corinthians 5:7- For we live by faith, not by sight. I remember the song; I will go back to the corner where He (Jesus) first saw me. 'Cause if one day I wake up and find that I’m missing Jesus and my heart starts to wonder where on this earth He could be Thinking maybe He'll come back here to the place that we'd meet and I'd see Him waiting for Me on the corner of the street.. Jesus is not moving because He is waiting for me. He found me first.
I will walk together with Him victoriously, happily. He never fail me, when I was up He is with me. And now that I was in the point of searching, He found me. He is bigger than the battle. We can make it together. And I am thankful to Jesus, that tatay is still holding to his faith and he also never leaves the ACCEPTORS.
Tatay still believes that our loving God can turn our weakness into strength.
(“'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.'
"Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
And because of this, I was encouraged… God’s favor… We are saved to serve. I cried again, because God never forget us. Kami lang ang nakalimot. Maraming kabataan ang kailangan ang salvation at pag-ibig ni God, i will share it to them.
There are greater things have yet to come for acceptors next year! And I am proud i am part of it! We are saved to serve.
