Quote for the day: Be Still and Know He is God.

Okay after the "fourth" hacking. I finally return to "Manual blogging" for a few reasons. I haven't had a time to update so much this year (I even missed this Blog Anniversary hehe) But still I thank you to those people who kept reminding me to update my blog. I am so glad that God reminded me that my HTML manual blog is still saved in my Hard drive. *blew a kiss towards the heaven* :)

So what's up in my life? right now.. I am busy (actually we are quite busy with the publishing house) we are almost finish with the Manga: Light and Crystal. But we are also working on the Seiya and Usagi fanbook (requested by many Seiya and Usagi fans).

So this is just a quick update. And if ever I get hack again, I will just upload the html page.

Oh btw.. before I will share you a new sharing.. Some people are asking me to put this article again.

Does Jesus love the People in the dark? Absolutely!

The way we perceive things isn’t always the way they are. Yet those misperceptions can persist for years, causing us to miss the truth of what God might be trying to say to us. But God has a way of bringing the truth into our lives, if we’re open to it, in a way that can renew our minds and change our perspective on everything. - Eric Elder

Reading the Daily Devotion from Eric Elder made me recall of a certain email I got last year. I searched for that letter in my email and I emailed her if I can share her what she emailed me before.

I saw your testimony site and since I got a bit curious, I click on all your links and I was able to see all your Christian sites. When I accidentally came to your site ‘chettedizon.net’. It really surprised me because out of all the Christian site I read, you portrayed jesus differently. (in a good way not in a bad way.) You see, I am a wicca. (A witch) but I believe in god. And reading your blog, your testimony… I wonder… if jesus loves me? or is it possible if jesus can love someone like me?

If you received this kind of letter, what will you answer? How can you make her understand that she is being loved by Jesus? Of course! you would probably answer “YES” right away right? Yep. I’ve done that and shared Jesus… and I am so happy she accepted, but then.. after a few more months…

Hi Chette! it’s me. Thank you for sharing God’s love through Online and thank you for answering my email. I haven’t been online for many months but now I feel like I need to tell you something. So you see… after I became a Christian, I met a seeker and shared Jesus to her and then she became a Christian. But after three months, we met another Christian and she invited us to this ‘Church’. Sadly, the one I shared Jesus back-slided because of the Church. I mean, she has been a strong Christian for three months and when she started to attend Church she suddenly backslided? Please pray for her. I too, almost want to give up because they do not accept me. Whenever I am there, I could hear them talking about my past… but I won’t give up. I am not a witch anymore right?

So what is my point here? There are a lot of seekers: wanting to know God more and more and yet once they become a Christian and attend a church… they will become corrupt (Sorry for the term). Thank God that God has made ‘Christianity’ as a personal relationship between Him and the Christian ne?

What happen to the Christian Churches nowadays? It is so sad hearing other “people” saying, “the church only wants our money.” ; “I left church because they said I am a hopeless case.” ; “I left church because the pastor harassed me.” etc.

Philip and I experienced such a thing. We’ve been rejected by churches/christian forums online just because of our ‘past’. A christian leader even told us that a demon will always be a demon.

But let me tell you something… Jesus loves all of us. He died not for the Christians, but for all of us. Even a woman who was possessed by a demon was valuable to Jesus.

So how dare these Christians tells witch/demons that they are not being loved by Jesus? They are. Christians should re-evaluate themselves. Jesus came to this world for the sinners not for the righteous people. You don’t have the right to kick someone else just because she is a witch. You cannot condemn someone because of his/her past.

Does Jesus love the people in the dark? Absolutely! and Christians are suppose to reach out for them.

Sharing: Be Still.

"Be Still and Know that I am God." (Psalms 46:17)

I know you know this "Bible Verse" very well if you are a Bible Reader. It is one of the Common verses we hear from Christians. But sometimes, us Christians.. we forget to "Be Still" and "know that He is God".

We trust people more than we trust God. We trust our Dentists, Doctors, we trust police, we trust our parents (I am not saying do not trust them) but we trust them more than we trust God.

But why? Why do we trust these people rather than God? Some people answered "Because we see them, that is why we can cooperate with them."

Wait. you got a point there.. but that's the word you are forgetting once you trust God.

What is it?

"Cooperation."

When I was in my third year elementary, I was diagnosed that I have a cease in my ear. When the doctor said, "Be still." My parents and I didn't argue about it. Why? Because my EENT doctor is a specialist. I am being cooperative whatever he told me to do.

So how come I am not cooperative when it comes to God? I remembered Elijah's distressed and his stressful confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel. In the midst of chaos and trusting himself.. he couldn't hear God (Even though God sent an angel to care for him.) In time of Elijah's calmness and stillness... the word of the Lord came to him (1 King 19:9)

Some of us may fear something worse will happen if we stop trusting ourselves and other people. But sometimes... once we calm ourselves.. in that time of stilness that's when God will work... Remember... God heals while we rest and while we are still...

So why fear if we have a big God? Be Still and Know that He is God.

also.. remember.

"Cooperate with Him."

Our Greatest Strength maybe our Ability
to Stand still and trust God.

 

Thanks for reading! :)
