"HUMILITY is total dependence on God. It's not denying your strengths; instead, it's being honest about your weakness." - Ps Rick's Daily Hope

“No one can know truth except the one who obeys truth. You think you know truth. People memorize the Scriptures by the yard, but that is not a guarantee of knowing the truth. Truth is not a text. Truth is in the text, but it takes the text plus the Holy Spirit to bring truth to a human soul.”

A glimpse of the Father's heart ❤️

Hi, it's been a while. So, here's a story time...

Early this year I was asking God of what this new year holds. During our corporate fasting at church, we took a Daniel's Fast for a week. In that same week, I was dreaming a lot of things, if I'll make a category of it, myself would label it as "bad dreams". I dreamt of murder, rape, and witchcrafts. I was in that dream and I felt helpless. After our corporate fasting, our Pastor prayed over me. And in that prayer, I found an answer why I was dreaming of those things...

Sorry, I stopped writing for a while to listen to that prayer again. There's a line in that prayer that gave me a wow-moment on what my dreams could've meant... "Though you are in the darkness, your light in the Lord Jesus will continue to shine. For you know that God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all, so the Lord will tell you to always practice the Truth- that you will love the Truth, to walk in the Light as He is in the Light, to have fellowship with one another who has the Light and the blood of Jesus, the son of God that cleanses us from all our sins that when you go and go into the darkness, the people would gonna be seeing your light, the people will gonna see the lamp on your feet that it is lighting your path because the Lord has sent you out as a light..."

After hearing those prayers, God has revealed to me the reason why I was dreaming of those things... He allowed those dreams for me to see how wicked the world will be in the last days as written in 2 Timothy:

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power..."

Little did I know that I won't just be dreaming of those things, I would even experience them, I'm not blaming the ways of the Lord for sure, but evil things don't just happen in dreams, THEY ARE REAL AND RAMPANT DURING THE LAST DAYS.

I am writing this on March 11, 2022 and a very unfortunate event happened in my workplace just this week that broke my heart as it happened under my watch. It breaks my heart to be a victim of an evil act- that there are people who will really do so much measures just to deceive others. Now, if you'll see me, I'm trying to compose myself and think straight, but to be honest, there's a battle inside me, screaming and blaming myself for my negligence. But earlier today, while I was reading the Bible, God led me to Genesis 6:5-8:

"The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them." But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD".

I found myself crying as I repeatedly read those verses, I was crying as I have seen how heart-breaking it was for our Heavenly Father, what I've experienced from handful of people is nothing compared to the human race that broke His heart. I can't help but see the heart of the Father- how it grieved Him to see His creation doing things against His will.

As I have failed my superior, for I know it also broke his heart that I have missed some details that could have prevented the unfortunate event to happen, it made me realized the more not to break God's heart. I've experienced first-hand how it feels to see some people do such evil ways, so it's much clearer to me now as I've seen a glimpse of what the Father is feeling as He see His very own creation do evil continually.

From the unfortunate event that had happened to me and in my workplace, I put my trust in God. He sees, He knew it would happen, and I trust that He'll be with me all throughout. Just like Noah, I pray that I'll find favor in the eyes of the Lord all the days of my life. And just like the excerpt of my Pastor's prayer for me, this for sure will remain true in my heart, "but the Lord has seen you- your pure heart, and the Lord would say to you that in my eyes you are so bright and in my eyes that you are shining bright, so do not dwell on the words of men and women around you but dwell on My word for you are my child, you are precious in My sight- and you are shining. And that's enough for you to stand in righteousness, it's enough for you to stand in your identity in the Lord Jesus Christ".

if you think i haven’t noticed how hard you’ve been working, you’re wrong. despite all pain, through all challenges. i couldn’t be more proud of you, and i’m so happy to see the person you’re becoming. keep going, aim for the stars.

listen to your body. understand it’s warning signs. you are your own most important caretaker. and one of the hardest, but most crucial tasks, is knowing when to stop. when to rest, and heal. you’ve earned it, believe me.

"This morning I looked at the bleeding feet of a missionary, saw his wife tending them, saw the blood and pus running from them and thought to myself, "What a nauseating sight that is!" But, as I walked from the room, the Lord kept saying to me, "Oh, but to Me they are beautiful feet!"

Then I remembered—"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings"—good tidings to men and women like those in New Guinea who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. Someday it will all be over. Someday the tired, bleeding feet of the missionaries will for the last time cross those broken-bottle limestone mountains. Someday for the last time they will go down into one of those newly discovered valleys. Someday for the last time they will speak the message of redemption through Jesus Christ our Lord. Someday that last one will turn to Jesus. Then the clouds will part asunder and our Savior will be there." - Dr. Robert A. Jaffray

Last night's Word Wednesday had me contemplating of my prayers to God. I have been waiting for His answer to every prayer I uttered. One of my prayers, I believe, was answered last night. 😌🙏🏼

I have faith that God will lead me to beautiful and uncomfortable destinations. I just have to do my part, step out and go, wait and see how He'll work everything out. I have ways, but His ways are above mine. I have plans, but His are greater than I could imagine.

I commit everything into His hands. Every decision, plans, future I have in mind. I want God to control every thing in my life. Letting the Holy Spirit work, lead and speak to me.

So, help me more God. 🙌🏼
