“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 New Living Translation (NLT)

If somebody had told me what the LORD was going to do trough me when I got saved, I just would not have believed it. I was not what you would consider good material or at that time “usable”. In my conversion I was not sure if I would ever have a normal life, this for consequences of my previous life. The LORD entered fully in my life and gave me the promise of restoring my life and being His witness (Isaiah 43 and 42). (more…)

Sometimes it seems like the situation we are living is so hard and no one else faces situations as hard as the ones we got to face.

The thing is that when problems hit our life, our emotions and feelings make us believe that our world is falling apart and that there is nothing to be done.

We are living a story written by God himself, the same God that once looked for us when we were lost. He found us, He called us, and He forgave all of our sins and gave us a new opportunity in life.

In that same moment God commenced to reedit our story, he started to write every chapter in a way He considered perfect and whole, maybe at a times we will feel that what we are living is stronger than we are, but the reality is that God already tested your endurance and knows how much you can handle.

Why do I feel this emptiness?
Why do I have this desire of proving the world that I’m worthy ? , questions of a child that felt second class invited in life’s trip

“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:4-5 New Living Translation

Comprehending correctly what Jesus did in the Cross for the believers brings forth a pure heart and a powerful living. With no condemnation or judgment to be received, but a life lived out of gratitude to God. A believer still trying to earn God´s blessings trough works rather than faith is not God´s will, and this causes affliction to an already set free soul. (more…)

What happens when you start forgetting why do you do it? I mean, it used to be the greatest privilege and now it has become a burden. Living for God without Jesus is consuming. Family is still out there, ministry, work and the task list, though the joy is missing.

A Christian living without Jesus is simply a gun with no bullets, an eagle with wounded wings, a car with no engine, a singer that lost his voice. It’s a life with no meaning at all. Its leaving the Jesus factor out of our lives.

Jesus said it this way:

“Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.” Revelation 2:4  New International Version (NIV) (more…)
