"Let us not be afraid to be humble, small, helpless to prove our love for God"
This line resonates within me, especially tonight.
It is so easy for one to feel small on the inside, to feel so weak and lost.
Once again, thoughts creep up from my head.
Thoughts that threathen to stir up whats within the heart.
This inevitably allows some self-doubt to come in,
and i dont like entertaining such negative thoughts.

What i know i have to do, is to turn any negativity into an affirmation of His love.
That is something we are called to do,
because such thoughts and feelings arent introduced into our minds
by the One above for no reason.
Through such small trials that come along,
we are reminded that we constantly need Him in our lives,
that we can only rely on Him, because all else in this earth is completely reliable.

I watched this christian show. One small scene touched me the most.
Specifically, it was a small dialogue between a son & his dad, where the son asked
"Why did God make me so small and tiny?"
The dad replied, "So that He would be able to show you how almighty He is".

I Pray that I would be able to be more deserving of the gifts & blessings
that He has showered me with. That i may be at peace with myself,
and believe that He has made me perfectly in His image.
I Pray that i may look upon my fellows brothers & sisters in Christ
with a love that is unconditional, a love that never judges,
a love that is humble, pure and Holy.
May i do my very best for Him and be a better servant for Him.
May I strive to be a better Brother in Christ for every single person around me.
Amen.

"Once we take our eyes away from ourselves, from our interests, from our own rights, privileges, ambitions-then they will be clear to see Jesus around us" - Mother Teresa

Many times, we struggle to be the Christ-like servant we ought to be in our daily lives.
Why do we fail to see or acknowledge His presence?

Have we been too busy to take some time out to be still in His love and presence?
So much so that we have been too clouded in our heads, too busy to stop for a minute or two.
Have we placed our own priorities & interests before His?
Could that be the sole reason why we feel empty inside,
the reason why we are never fully contented or at peace with ourselves?

Pray that we may never be self-centered in our lives,
that we may always seek to serve and not be served.
May we be humble in every single that we do, in every person we communicate with.
May we lower ourselves,
so that we may acknowledge the mistakes that we have made
and the hurts we have caused to Him and to the people around us.

May we always cling on our faith and to His love.
May we never stop communicating with Him, even if He seems distant.

A salt of the earth.
A sheep sent out to be among a pack of wolves.
It's a daily struggle,
but His love reigns over all negativity surrounding us.
Amen.

latetimes.
