Holding Hands

“Yes I am with you always, until the very end of time” - Jesus Christ
faithtalkministries.com

I remember years of going home late from school after teaching evening classes, I would always end up walking from the gate of the subdivision where we live to our house! 
It was a long walk, dark, and I was always on my own! What kept me safe, sound and secured the whole time was Jesus!
As soon as I stepped down from the jeepney (popular means of transportation in the Philippines), I would say my prayer! It was really more like a-friend-talking-to-a-friend-kind-of-communication. 
In my mind, I would say, "Jesus... here I am again! please hold my hand and let's walk together!" and I know he would do just that!
It was a good 10 minute walk and I felt his hands wrapped around my hands the whole time!
Thank you Jesus for every time I call your Name, You are there!
Thank you for the many times you have held my hand, while we were walking in the dark, you have kept me safe and secured. I felt so loved.
Up until now, You are still with me, and I know You will be until the end of time.
Amen.

    I have missed this kind of connection with God. I rarely go out of the house now.. But I always hope for the same protection..

    Amen to this full trust with the Lord Jesus Christ you've made. Everybody in Jesus is safe. With His hands everyone is held to their safety and assurance of being protected from any subtle craftiness of the devil. It's time to thank the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I would often imagine groping Jesus' hands whenever I feel lost and vulnerable and oftentimes, I would realize that he was holding me all along, I was so wrapped up in my problems that I missed his presence.

    Nothing is more comforting and secure than being in Christ's protection. It's a "jungle" out there but faith and prayer keep us safe. Thank you so much for sharing another inspiring story of your faith! God bless you always! :-)

    it's always nice to talk to Him especially when you need security. Prayer gives peace of mind, always. Yahweh bless.

    As what God would always say, "ask and you shall receive....,"

    and I love the Lord so much, with all my life, that's why I decided to dedicate a part of my life through service and following his footsteps as well (not of the nailing on the cross) but a path to holiness

    :)

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
