HEAVENLY FATHER


Image result for galaxy

Sometimes we wonder if God really exists, we always question His existence in times of our trials that we always say, ‘if there is God why I am suffering all of this agony in my life’.

Brothers and sisters, I testify that there is God. Look around you, you can see many beautiful things, in the land, in the water, and in the sky. What a beautiful creation, right? And everything of these is perfectly designed by God. Think about the galaxy, the constellation of stars, and how perfectly our planet earth designed. All we have is theory on how these planets were created, and no one can prove that the universe's existence has naturally occurred. Like the great things we made here on earth, we designed something, we create something because we have this God-given knowledge to put something into existence. Our activities here on earth are enough to prove that there is only one God, who designed, planned and put all the living and all great things into existence.

Our Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways, He doesn’t want us to always rely on Him for miracles to happen. He wants us to believe in Him and in His plans, He wants us to work to strengthen our faith. He wants us to live accordingly with the commandments He gave us with all our hearts, strengths and minds. Think about it your life is already a miracle from God, the people and all you have are miracles from God. Be forever grateful for what you have because these are from God, He can get it back anytime as He wanted.

It is important for us to understand the attributes of God. Because we are made in His image ( Moses 2:26; 6:9), we know that we are like Him. His eternal spirit is housed in a tangible body of flesh and bones (D&C 130:22). God’s body is perfected and glorified, with a glory beyond all description. God is perfect, He is a God of righteousness, with attributes such as love, mercy, charity, truth, power, faith, knowledge, and judgment. He has all the power, knows all things, and full of goodness.

All things come from God. Everything that He does, is to help His children become like Him.  He has said, “Behold, this is my work and my glory – to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39).

It is very important for us to know our Father in heaven. Because if we draw ourselves knowing Him, we come to know and understand His works and we come to grow our love for Him. The first and greatest commandment is we must love the Lord our God, with all our heart, (Matthew 22:37).

To know more about God, for us to grow our love with Him. We need to study the scriptures, ponder it, and live it. If we do this, if we seek about God every day, our faith will grow, wide enough to illuminate light to others, to uplift someone’s spirit, to give them hope, strength to overcome trials. Through this, we are already a missionary.

I hope this blog can help everyone who wants to seek more about God, to grow their faith and love for God. If you have comments or questions, please leave it in the comment box.
I leave this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Be a Friend, Not a Bully

There are stages in life to undergo, and the most challenging stage is knowing and accepting ourselves. I've been at that stage where I am surrounded with my personal insecurities, such as my skin color how I wish to be whiter, my height I want to be taller, and I hate my voice the way I speak, it struggles me a lot, people always bully me of the way I speak because I really have that bad sound, they even belittle me of the things that I do and they ignore me and most of them are my relatives, it hurts me a lot they don't know that I am struggling. My confidence was affected a lot, including family problems it really affected me in meeting other people, also my studies. There are times that  I felt like I had no one to share my problems, my feelings, I am so scared to talk, to open up. I am thankful that I had friends during my college who have been there for me, they inspired me, motivated me and shared their time. Because of them, I felt a sense of belongingness, a...

Repentance through Christ : Isaiah 53

               I have experienced spiritual anguish, this is because of procrastinating the will of the Lord through mundane activities. By reading the talk of President Ezra Taft Benson this line really pricked my heart “Give me a young man who has kept himself morally clean and has faithfully attended his Church meetings.” Regret and guilt are inside me, if only I focused on the things that would benefit my soul and that would make my Father in Heaven happy, If only I pay attention to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit, if only I tried my very best to keep the commandments that the church has taught me maybe now I am already halfway of my mission. I can still remember how our branch president gave me probationary, I felt like I am just a shadow at the corner I cannot participate in the sacrament. I cannot change his decision, I need to face the consequences of my actions, I need to undergo the process of repentance, this way I will have a c...

BULLYING

What would you feel if the world sees you in a distinct way? Some of you may take it positively but how if they see you whom a person does not deserve to accompany and to be treated respectfully, what would you do? Bullying and Discrimination are now a vast and uncontrollable crime in our world's new era. History to present these are happening, wherein, in our history women are being discriminated by men through treating them just women of their lives, for pleasures and power. And also people with special disabilities are not just being bullied or discriminated but they are being condemned to die. In this new era, the lawmaking bodies proclaimed a law stating the right of every individual to avoid discrimination and bullying against one another but then the implementation of these laws is not that strong. From now, people are freely discriminating and bullying someone through their gender (especially the LGBTQ+ community), physical disabilities, and status in life, religi...
